Feed Your Thyroid - Don't Replace It

🌀 Hypo-thyroid numbers all over the place?
Master Herbalist David Christopher, MH shares what one caller learned the hard way:

• Herbs + whole foods feed the thyroid so it can make its own hormones.
• Outside hormones (Synthroid, “bio-identicals”) trick the feedback loop—gland goes sleepy, labs swing.
• Synthetic relief? Short-term gain, long-term dependency—and black-box side effects.

Dr. Christopher’s original prescription (1940s and still gold):
☀️ Sun & fresh air | 🚶‍♀️ Grounding & exercise | 💧 Clean water
🥗 Raw fruits/veggies, sprouted grains, nuts & seeds | 🚫 Minimal meat, no dairy

Give the body what it needs, let the thyroid wake up, and watch the numbers stabilize—naturally.

🚀 Superfood Energy Bites—straight from one of our students!

Monica tried a treat at a local juice bar, loved it, and said, “I can make a healthier version at home.” A few spins in the food processor later, these power-packed bites were born: sweet, chewy, protein-rich, and loaded with good fats and minerals. Perfect for lunchboxes, post-workout munching, or that mid-afternoon slump.

Give them a whirl, stash in the fridge, and thank Monica for the inspiration. 🌿✨

Looking for a healthy bread to jump start your year? Here's a delicious, healthy recipe our graduate, Angella Mendenall, MH tailored from Katri Nordbloom's alkaline cooking. Enjoy!

Buckwheat Bread

Ingredients
3 cups raw buckwheat flour - I blend it into flour in my Vitamix then put flour in a bowl.
Blend 4 carrots (medium to large) with 3 cups water, and a half of onion.
Place blended water, carrots, and onion into bowl with buckwheat flour.
Add: 2 tsp salt, 1/2 onion, 1 tablespoon Costco no salt organic seasoning
Oil a pan well
Bake at 375 degrees for 30 min
Salt the top of the dough very lightly after it is in the pan for an added little kick of taste.
This recipe makes two 9x9 pans. Cut recipe in half for smaller batches


Variations

I add fresh herbs like:
1 tablespoon rosemary fresh (or thyme, marjoram)
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Topped with dried parsley

You can add beets to the base instead of carrots, or turnips, parsnips, any kind of onion or garlic for a change of taste or added flavor.

Mexican style: add jalapeños, or green chilies, small amount of beans, oregano, and chili powder

Sweet and savory: add a little honey, or pure maple syrup, raisins or any dried fruit or nuts of choice, cinnamon, clove, cardamom, or pumpkin spice.

Molasses for a darker and richer bread. With spices, ginger, cloves, and cinnamon.

More hints:
Freeze extras to use later

Make homemade croutons out of leftover buckwheat bread. Add olive oil and herbs and spices. Toss and bake.

💉 Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro—everywhere, right?
But what happens after the injections stop? And is there a better way?

🔑 Quick hits from Stephanie Anderson, MH, CN:
• GLP-1 drugs crank up the “I’m full” signal—but don’t fix why metabolism is off.
• When you quit, appetite rebounds, muscle may be lost, and weight often returns.
• Real change asks deeper questions: minerals, adrenals, blood sugar, sleep, stress, gut balance.

⚖️ Natural ≠ automatically safe. Even plant isolates (berberine, etc.) can override the body instead of rebuilding it.

🌿 Root-cause path: Holistic practitioners aren’t against people seeking relief. They’re simply advocating for approaches that align with how the body is built to heal: from the inside out, not the outside in.
