I wish I could tell you that getting on thyroid medication solved all of these problems.⁠...⁠

Thyroid medication has helped with sleep, cold tolerance, hypothyroidism-related hair loss, and constipation. ⁠

To lower my LDL cholesterol, I increased my fiber intake to at least 30 g of soluble and insoluble fiber per day.⁠

To lower fasting blood sugar, I started eating 30 g of protein at each meal and always paired a high-carbohydrate food with a high-protein or high-fat item. For example, I started eating apples with a handful of nuts. I also exercise daily to keep my blood sugar at a healthy range.⁠

To address gut infections, I did a stool test that showed that I had low stomach acid and low digestive enzymes. I started taking appropriate supplements. ⁠

To improve the health of my hair, skin, and nails, I reevaluated all of my supplements. I made sure I wasn't taking too much selenium or vitamin A. I added a non-constipating iron pill. I also did PRP microneedling on my scalp and now do daily scalp massages. In addition, I have a low-level lather therapy "helmet" that I use every other day. ⁠

Shocked by my own Hashimoto's experience, I have devoted my life to the care and study of Hashimoto's disease. I constantly teach online, in my private practice, and I am finishing my first book about nutrition for Hashimoto's.⁠

If you think a tea or a pill is going to detox your body… I hate to break it to you.
That’s not detox. That’s marketing.

REAL detox?
It’s happening every second of the day—in your liver, your gut, your skin, your cells.
And if you have Hashimoto’s, your detox pathways are probably sluggish, overburdened, and screaming for help.

That brain fog?
The itchy skin, the histamine flares, the random bloating, the exhaustion that makes you want to nap after a full night’s sleep?
That’s a body begging for cellular-level detox—REAL detox.

I’m talking about the stuff no influencer is selling you:
— Upregulating phase II liver detox with amino acids and sulfur-rich foods
— Binding toxins with fiber so they actually LEAVE your body
— Supporting your microbiome so your gut doesn’t REabsorb those toxins
— Using food as code to turn on your genes that regulate detox enzymes (yes, this is real)
— Skin + sweat = detox organ power moves

If you want to truly support detox with Hashimoto’s…

👉Drop “DETOX” below and I’ll send you the YouTube link where I break it all down.

Not a gimmick. Not a cleanse.
Just the science your cells are craving.

LIKE and SHARE if this “joke” hits a little too close to home.
One of the most frustrating parts of Hashimoto’s is being told everything is handled just because you were given thyroid medication.

Yes, thyroid hormone replacement can be important and necessary.
But for many people with Hashimoto’s, that is not the full story.

Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune condition. That means the conversation should not stop at your thyroid alone. Your immune system, inflammation, gut health, nutrient status, blood sugar, skin, energy, and even other autoimmune risks can all still matter.

Research has linked Hashimoto’s with:
• nutrient deficiencies PMID: 28290237
• gut dysbiosis PMID: 32545596
• oxidative stress and inflammation DOI: 10.1089/thy.2015.0592
• elevated fasting insulin PMID: 25364704
• increased risk for diabetes PMID: 23671867
• higher likelihood of other autoimmune conditions DOI: 10.1016/j.beem.2019.101367

That is why support can need to go far beyond a prescription.

Sometimes the most helpful next step is building the right care team, which may include a registered dietitian, gastroenterologist, dermatologist, or other specialists depending on your symptoms.

Because “your labs look normal” does not always mean you feel normal.

Were you ever told Hashimoto’s was basically solved with medication alone?
Did anyone explain the bigger picture to you?

Tell me in the comments. I really want to hear your experience.

Your thyroid and your gut are in constant conversation, and if you’ve been struggling with bloating, constipation, reflux, or hair loss… your gut might be screaming for help.⁠

Swipe through to learn the 7 gut problems that are strongly linked to thyroid disease (especially Hashimoto’s).⁠

This is the stuff I wish more doctors talked about.⁠

👀 These aren’t just random symptoms, they’re clues your body is giving you. And I see this pattern all the time when I review my clients’ GI MAP stool tests:⁠

✔️ SIBO⁠
✔️ Low stomach acid⁠
✔️ H. pylori⁠
✔️ Malabsorption⁠
✔️ Gallbladder sluggishness⁠
✔️ Celiac overlap⁠
✔️ GERD and chronic reflux⁠
✔️ 👉increased intestinal permeability a.k.a. Leaky Gut.....most tests don't have this option)

You don’t have to guess. The right stool test can uncover what’s fueling your thyroid flares, your fatigue, your food sensitivities, and even your hair loss.⁠

👉🏻If you want to learn more about the exact test I use to uncover these root causes, comment the word "GI MAP" and I’ll send you the info.⁠

I break all of this down for you so you can finally feel seen, heard, and supported in your healing.⁠
Let’s get to the root, not just the band-aids.

Came to Napa for our dear friend's birthday… and somehow turned it into a full long weekend celebration.

What started as “just a few plans” quickly became packed days of wine tastings, pool time that felt way too short, and the kind of laughs you wish you could bottle up and take home.

We kept saying we’d relax more… but Napa had other plans. One more glass, one more stop, one more memory.

Good friends the entire time, celebrating in the best way, and still not enough hours in the day to do it all.

Honestly, the only problem with this trip? It ended.

03/29/2026

Napa... Yes, there was wine… a lot of it. But honestly, it was everything in between that made this trip what it was.

Slow mornings at the Four Seasons that somehow turned into full days of laughter. The kind of service that makes you feel like you never have to think twice about anything. Sunshine that just hits different when you’re surrounded by vineyards and your favorite girls.

It was long lunches that turned into golden hour. It was stories, inside jokes, and those moments where you stop and think, this is exactly where I’m supposed to be.

Good wine is easy to find in Napa. But this? The energy, the people, the feeling… that’s the part you can’t bottle.

Struggling with chronic constipation?

Try eating 2 golden kiwis a day.....with the skin on!

This isn’t just a cute wellness trend, it’s backed by science and it WORKS.

Here’s why:
👉Golden kiwi is rich in soluble & insoluble fiber, basically the dream team for softer, more regular stools.
👉The skin is packed with polyphenols and prebiotics, which feed your gut bacteria (they play a huge role in moving things along).
👉Kiwifruit naturally contains actinidin, an enzyme that supports digestion and reduces bloat.
👉Gentle on the gut and won’t cause cramping or urgency like harsh laxatives.

⚠️ If you’re using green kiwi, peel it first...its skin is tougher and harder to digest.

When I say I understand what you’re going through, I mean it.

Years ago, when I was diagnosed with , I felt lost. My body was changing, my hair was falling out, my energy was gone, and nothing I ate made sense anymore.

That season of confusion is what led me to study nutrition at , become a registered dietitian, and dedicate my career to helping women who feel exactly like I once did.

Today, I help women with Hashimoto’s get their spark back through gut healing, hormone balance, and a personalized nutrition approach that finally makes sense.

If you’re tired of feeling unheard and want to start feeling like you again, I’d love to support you on that journey.

Three days in Palm Beach and I’m still not sure what I’m recovering from… the fashion, the champagne, or the shopping

Opening night at Mar-a-Lago felt like stepping into a movie..
Invitation only, cocktails flowing, runway moments, and somehow all of us pretending we belong there like it’s casual Thursday night 😅

The rest of the weekend
Shopping like it’s cardio
Bottomless mimosas like it’s hydration
Outfits that made sense at the time

Palm Beach Fashion Week, you were everything
And yes… I would absolutely do it all again

If you are trying to support your thyroid naturally but feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice, this video will clear things up.

In this video, I walk you through
• Which nutrients actually support thyroid hormone production and conversion
• Why more is not always better when it comes to iodine, especially with Hashimoto’s
• How stress and cortisol quietly interfere with thyroid function
• What an anti inflammatory approach really looks like for thyroid health, beyond just avoiding foods

This is about giving your thyroid what it needs, in the right amounts, and in a way that supports your immune system and hormones long term.

If you have questions about your thyroid labs, supplements, or Hashimoto’s symptoms, drop them in the comments. I read them all.

Social Media will make you believe that you need to eliminate gluten, dairy, soy and even add iodine to improve your Hashimoto's

But here's what the latest research actually says…

GLUTEN AND HASHIMOTO’S

• Not mandatory for everyone
• Strongly recommended IF you have celiac disease
• Latest research shows inconsistent effects on TSH and thyroid hormones
• Some studies show antibody reduction, others show no change (this is the case for me and for majority of my clients)
• Biggest benefit = in people with GI symptoms or true sensitivity
• Risk: going gluten-free the wrong way can lower fiber and key nutrients

SOY AND HASHIMOTO’S

• Does NOT cause Hashimoto’s
• Does NOT significantly affect thyroid hormones in most people
• The real issue = medication absorption
• Soy can interfere with levothyroxine if taken too close
• Follow the “4-hour rule” between meds and soy
• No need to eliminate, just time it properly

DAIRY AND HASHIMOTO’S

• Highly individualized
• Main concern = lactose intolerance, NOT dairy itself
• If lactose intolerant → can impair medication absorption
• Can lead to higher TSH due to poor absorption
• If no symptoms → dairy can be part of a healthy diet
• Fermented dairy (like kefir) may support gut health

IODINE AND HASHIMOTO’S

• This is where the strongest evidence exists
• Excess iodine can worsen Hashimoto’s
• High-risk sources: kelp, seaweed supplements, “thyroid support” products
• More iodine ≠ better thyroid function
• Stick to normal dietary intake, avoid high-dose supplements

BOTTOM LINE

• Stop over-restricting without a medical reason
• Focus on what YOUR body reacts to
• Protect medication absorption first
• Avoid excess iodine
• Build your diet around whole, anti-inflammatory foods

This is how we actually move the needle with Hashimoto’s in 2026.
