Wishing You a Healthy, Peaceful Holiday Season🎄

As the holidays are here, I just want to take a moment to wish you and your loved ones a joyful, healthy, and peaceful holiday season.

While this time of year can be full of celebration and connection, it can also come with a lot of stress—busy schedules, travel, disrupted sleep, rich foods, and high expectations. And remember, stress doesn’t just affect your mood—it impacts your hormones, metabolism, blood sugar, and thyroid health.

So my gentle reminder this season is this:
Give yourself permission to slow down. Prioritize sleep when you can. Stay hydrated.And most importantly—be kind to yourself.

Health isn’t about perfection during the holidays—it’s about balance, awareness, and getting back to your rhythm with intention.

From all of us here at the Metabolic Center for Wellness, we’re so grateful for our community, and we wish you a happy, healthy holiday season and a strong start to the New Year.”

Is the carnivore diet helping - or hurting - your thyroid?

The carnivore diet—which includes only animal-based foods—has gained popularity for its simplicity and anti-inflammatory potential. But how does it affect thyroid health?

Some people report improvements in autoimmune thyroid conditions like Hashimoto’s, likely due to the elimination of common dietary triggers like gluten, grains, and seed oils. The diet is naturally low in lectins, oxalates, and antinutrients, which may help calm immune reactivity and gut inflammation—factors that influence thyroid autoimmunity.

However, there are concerns. A strict carnivore diet may lack iodine, selenium, and magnesium—nutrients essential for thyroid hormone synthesis and conversion. Long-term carbohydrate restriction may also lower T3 levels, as the body adapts to a lower metabolic rate to conserve energy.

In short, while some individuals may see short-term benefits, it’s essential to monitor labs, ensure micronutrient support, and work with a practitioner if using carnivore as part of a thyroid health strategy.

Do you know about the benefits of creatine on thyroid function? 🌿🌱

When most people think of creatine, they think of athletes and gym performance—but creatine plays a much broader role in metabolic health, including thyroid function.

Creatine helps regenerate ATP—the body’s cellular energy currency. Since the thyroid drives energy metabolism, optimal thyroid function and creatine metabolism are closely linked. Low thyroid states can actually impair the body’s ability to synthesize and use creatine effectively, contributing to fatigue, muscle weakness, and reduced exercise tolerance.

Supplementing with creatine—typically about 3 to 5 grams per day—may support energy production, lean mass, and even brain function in individuals with hypothyroidism or those experiencing metabolic slowdown.

Of course, like any supplement, it’s best to individualize—considering kidney health, hydration, and other medications.

So while creatine may be known for the gym, its benefits extend far beyond—supporting cellular energy, muscle strength, and the metabolic vitality the thyroid was designed to fuel.

“Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
This time of year always reminds me how powerful gratitude truly is—not just emotionally, but biologically. When we practice gratitude, we lower stress hormones, support healthier immune function, and actually strengthen the pathways tied to longevity and resilience. It’s one of the simplest, most evidence-backed tools we have for your mitochondria, your hormones, and your overall metabolic well-being.

So today, I just want to say thank YOU. Thank you for showing up for your health, for being curious, proactive, and committed to feeling your best. Whether you’re working on hormone balance, metabolic health, thyroid healing, or simply building better habits—your consistency matters.

I’m grateful for this community, and I’m honored to be part of your wellness journey. Wishing you a joyful, nourishing, and restorative Thanksgiving.”

Nutrition during menopause is truly foundational. As hormones shift, metabolism, muscle mass, and mood all change — so how we nourish the body really matters. Protein helps maintain lean muscle and stable energy, while healthy fats like omega-3s and olive oil support brain health and reduce inflammation.

But one area that’s often overlooked is the gut. The gut microbiome — especially the estrobolome — helps regulate how estrogen is metabolized and cleared. When it’s imbalanced, women can experience more bloating, mood changes, or stubborn weight gain. That’s why fiber-rich foods — vegetables, fruits, legumes, flax, chia — are so important. They feed beneficial bacteria and help keep hormones in balance.

With the right mix of protein, healthy fats, fiber, and key nutrients like magnesium and vitamin D, women can truly feel strong, clear, and balanced through the menopausal transition.

Today is National Testosterone Awareness Day—and no, this hormone isn’t just about muscles or masculinity. Testosterone is a vital health signal for both men and women.

Testosterone influences energy, bone density, libido, cognition, body composition, and even metabolic health. When levels decline—or when the body can’t use testosterone properly—you might see symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, increased abdominal fat, mood changes, reduced strength, or changes in sexual function.

But here’s the key: low testosterone is not just a ‘getting older’ issue. It can be tied to stress, inflammation, insulin resistance, micronutrient deficiencies, thyroid dysfunction, toxin burden, and even sleep patterns. In integrative endocrinology, we look at the entire system—not just a number on a lab report.

If you’ve been told ‘your labs are normal’ but you don’t feel like yourself… listen to your body.
Because balanced hormones aren’t a luxury—they’re the foundation of resilience and healthy aging.

Today is World Diabetes Day — a powerful reminder that diabetes is not just about blood sugar. It’s about metabolic health, resilience, and the power to shape your future.

Diabetes touches millions of lives, but it does not have to define them. When we look beyond numbers and focus on the whole person — hormones, nutrition, sleep, movement, stress, and mindset — we move from simply managing disease to cultivating metabolic strength.

Resilience means more than bouncing back — it’s the body’s ability to adapt, heal, and thrive. Longevity isn’t just about adding years; it’s about adding life to those years — with clarity, energy, and purpose.

This World Diabetes Day, let’s turn awareness into action. Every meal, every walk, every mindful moment can move you closer to balance, vitality, and lasting health.

✨ Big News! ✨

My latest paper —
“Thyroid Hormones and Aging: Modulators of Mitochondrial Health, Metabolic Flexibility, and Longevity Pathways” —
has been accepted for publication in Hormone and Metabolic Research! 🧠💪
(Publication date coming soon!)

This article explores how our thyroid hormones act as the body’s metabolic maestros — fine-tuning mitochondria, balancing energy systems, and influencing key longevity pathways like mTOR, AMPK, IGF-1, and sirtuins.

In essence: when thyroid health thrives, cellular vitality and longevity follow.

So excited to see this work contribute to the growing field of integrative endocrinology and healthy aging. 🌿
