Sauerkraut is having a moment (I made a video about it)
|
Hi Reader, You might have seen it. Sauerkraut has been massively in the news lately, especially in America, with several public figures very publicly eating it as part of their diet. Whatever you make of that, it made me want to talk about why it actually matters, especially if you're managing hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's. So I made a video about it.

So most weeks there'd be a loaf rising on the side, flour dust on the counter, her hands working the dough the way her own mother probably taught her. She thought she was doing the right thing. For most of her life, something was wrong. Not one big obvious thing. A drip feed of smaller ones. Tired in a way sleep didn't touch. Weight that wouldn't shift...
Hi Reader, There was a stretch of my life where I knew the calorie count of almost everything before it touched my plate. I could tell you the numbers without thinking. I was still hungry most of the time, and I was still nowhere near where I wanted to be. I think a lot of us have lived some version of that.
