My Thyroid Love

Even if you're not 'Celiac', you can still have IgG reactions to gluten (delayed hypersensitivity). It affects many people with Hashimoto's and other autoimmune diseases, which is why many of us feel better going gluten-free.

After finding out that I had IgG (delayed hypersensitivity) reactions to gluten, as well as to the dairy proteins whey and casein, I came across a condition known as non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS).

With non-celiac gluten sensitivity, people have celiac-like reactions to gluten, yet they don’t test positive for the typical IgA celiac antibodies nor do they present the characteristic damage to intestinal cells seen in celiac disease.

However, research has shown that there are many correlations between those with thyroid disease and gluten sensitivities. For example, a 2002 study in the European Journal of Endocrinology found that 43 percent of people with Hashimoto’s showed activated mucosal T cell immunity, which is usually correlated with gluten sensitivity.

If you’re someone who is reactive to gluten, your best course of action is to avoid gluten entirely - you will probably find that you feel so much better!

But what do you do if you accidentally get “glutened”? I’ve found that taking activated charcoal to help clear the gluten from the body quickly and taking a digestive enzyme directly after eating can really help. If you begin to feel symptoms, soaking in an Epsom salt bath and soothing the gut with bone broth can speed up recovery.

Trauma isn’t only big events… it can be chronic stress as a child, emotional neglect, chronic overwhelm and unprocessed emotional pain.

Can you relate to any of these?

Durga’s power animal is the tiger. Represents unlimited power to protect virtue and destroy evil.

If you are authentically here because you wish only good and have pure intentions for my well-being - heart-felt, true, coherent energy - I would consider the intentions.

However, if you are only here to lurk in the dark shadows, and play out some unresolved trauma dynamic, please remove yourself. I no longer accept that treatment.

If I don’t get an ounce of authenticity, then you will be removed.

My circles and my space is sacred. Not everyone gets access.

Have you ever experienced this? I used to get this all the time, especially during times of intense stress, as well as eating inflammatory foods like gluten.

When I calmed the inflammation, focused on bring my immune system back into balance, symptoms like this went into remission.

If you do get this, it's a sign you need to bring some more calm into your life - rest your nervous system with mind-body practices and slowing down, rest your gut by avoiding inflammatory foods like gluten and sugar, and rest your mind by spending time in nature without your phone!

I experienced years of this, where people would ask me if I was sick again. I was never sick but my throat and voice always sounded and felt like I was. I didn't understand at the time that it was my clue that my thyroid was under attack.
I should have been doing things to calm my immune system down when I felt this.
Remove the Chemicals
Eat whole foods and more protein
Lower Stress
All the basics we tend to neglect because we are constantly in fight or flight wondering when our body is going to give out on us.

The healing properties of bone broth 🥣

I love adding it into my soups, stir fries and stews. According to Dr Axe, bone broth is full of collagen, amino acids (like glycine, proline, glutamine), minerals and gut-healing compounds.

That means it can help strengthen your gut lining, support digestion and reduce inflammation… all key if you have Hashimoto’s disease, since many people with Hashi’s deal with gut issues or increased intestinal permeability. The collagen and gelatin “seal” and nourish the gut wall, while the amino acids support gut repair.

Bonus: it’s also great for joints, skin and overall connective-tissue health thanks to natural glucosamine, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid and essential minerals.

⚠️ If you have histamine intolerance, though, be mindful. Bone broth can be higher in histamines, so listen to your body.

If winter makes you feel more tired, slower, or less motivated… there’s nothing ‘wrong’ with you.

Your body is responding exactly as it’s meant to.

Unpopular opinion: We weren’t made to ‘power through’ 24-7, 365-days-a-year.

Darker, shorter days shift your circadian rhythm, your energy naturally dips, and your hormones (including your thyroid hormones) need more support, and not more pressure.

Winter is not a season to power through. We can actually do more long-term damage by powering through in the ‘short-term’.

It’s a season to soften into.
To rest.
To nourish.
To warm the body and calm the nervous system.

In today’s post I’m sharing the exact winter routine I’m doing for steadier energy, better sleep, calmer hormones and less stress on the thyroid during these colder months.

These seem like simple shifts, but genuinely transformational. As one of my mentors, Dr Perry Nickleston always says, ‘Effective doesn’t have to be complicated!’.

Save this post so you can come back to it whenever you need a reminder that your body is seasonal, not mechanical. ❄️💛

Rewatching the last season of Stranger Things and Max’s escape from Vecna got me all over again! I was in TEARS.

That scene, omg!!! Where she’s running for her life, while ‘Running Up That Hill’ plays, is literally cinematic gold. It’s so deeply beautiful in a dark way. On a deeper level, Vecna feels like a metaphor for what Eckhart Tolle calls the pain-body: the part of us that feeds on suppressed guilt, shame and grief.

These emotions aren’t “bad”. They just get stuck. When we push them down, they settle quietly in the subconscious and start running the show.
As Carl Jung said, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”

Vecna preys on exactly that! Unresolved trauma carried alone.
Max’s guilt around her abusive stepbrother Billy’s death is so layered: fear, grief, love, shame, relief… all tangled together. No wonder she couldn’t speak it aloud.

But what I adore about this scene is her bravery.
Music pulls her back into the PRESENT moment.
CONNECTION brings her back to herself.
LOVE becomes stronger than the darkness.

It’s a reminder that our shadows don’t have to consume us. We can process what hurts. We can stay in our bodies. We can stop giving our power away to the inner critic or the abusive voices from our past (whether it be parents, siblings, partners, friendships etc).

This isn’t about ‘just think positive’. It’s about awareness. Compassion. Befriending the dark without letting it lead.

Remember the old shamanic parable of the two wolves.
