Hi,

I saw something in another thyroid support group today that broke my heart.

A woman shared how she'd been following one of those big brand weight loss memberships religiously - tracking every point, attending every meeting, doing EVERYTHING right...

And when she went for her weigh-in? She'd gained weight.

The comments were filled with similar stories. Women blaming themselves, feeling like failures, wondering what they were doing wrong.

So I need to tell you something important: It's not you. It's the program.

Here's why these mainstream weight loss approaches are actually working AGAINST your thyroid:

​

​

​

​

The Calorie Trap

These programs are obsessed with calorie cutting. But for those of us with hypothyroidism, severe calorie restriction actually suppresses the conversion of storage T4 (levothyroxine) into the active version of thyroid hormone (T3) that our cells ACTUALLY NEED.

Translation? The very thing they're telling you to do is making it HARDER for your body to lose weight.

The Food Problem

Ever looked closely at what these programs recommend?
They often push:

• Processed "diet" foods with their fancy point systems
• Meal replacements loaded with sugar
• Carb-or gluten heavy options to "feel full"

For someone with Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism, these foods can trigger inflammation and autoimmune flare-ups. Your body is already struggling, and these foods make everything worse.

The Cookie-Cutter Approach

These programs use a one-size-fits-all system designed for people with normal metabolism.

But you're not dealing with a normal metabolism! Your thyroid condition means you need a completely different approach.

They're essentially setting you up for failure, then charging you for the privilege.

And they charge you when you keep going back too. Hmmm 🤔

​

What Actually Works For Thyroid Bodies

Instead of processed-food-laden plans that ignore your unique needs, here's what really works:

1. Build meals around protein - This helps stabilize blood sugar and supports thyroid function
2. Remove gluten and grains - which can trigger an autoimmune response
3. Do you do better without dairy? - Many people find it triggers symptoms .
4. Focus on anti-inflammatory vegetables and berries - These help calm autoimmune responses
5. Avoid processed foods - They trigger inflammation and disrupt hormone balance
6. Honor YOUR body's unique needs - Not some generic system

The Bottom Line

If you've tried these mainstream programs and failed to lose weight, please stop blaming yourself.

Your body isn't broken - you've just been following advice that wasn't designed for you.

You don't need a cookie-cutter approach created for people with normal thyroid function.

You need specific strategies that work WITH your condition, not against it.

And most importantly, you need to know that you're not alone in this struggle.

I see you, I understand, and I'm here to help you navigate this journey with information that actually makes sense for YOUR body.

Here's to finding what truly works for you,
