I teach women with adrenal fatigue and underactive thyroid conditions how to support and nourish their bodies with whole foods nutrition, lifestyle choices that promote vitality, and other natural remedies so they can shed weight and regain their energy while still enjoying the foods they love.
Are you doing everything “right,” but not losing weight, or worse, continuing to gain? Are you:

Too often, people (and their healthcare practitioners) believe that cutting calories and exercising more rigorously will help them lose weight. After all, excess weight is simply a result of eating too much and not working hard enough at the gym, right? Not so fast.
Your thyroid, also known as your “master gland,” is the boss of your metabolism. An underactive thyroid - hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, the most common autoimmune condition in the U.S. - can bring your metabolism to a crawl, making dieting an exercise in futility and triggering the body to pack on the pounds. Calorie counting, restricting your diet, and excessive exercise can actually make a hypothyroid condition worse!
Every one of our cells has receptors for thyroid hormones and most people have no idea how vital a role the thyroid gland plays not only in metabolism, but also in immune strength, blood sugar regulation, appetite, body temperature, reproductive capacity, emotional wellbeing, mood, and hair and skin health.
Because proper thyroid function greatly depends on healthy adrenal glands, it’s critical to nourish and support the adrenals in conjunction with restoring the thyroid. If your adrenals are working overtime, your thyroid will suffer. If your thyroid isn’t working up to par, your adrenals can take a further hit. This negative feedback loop is a true vicious cycle.
Thyroid medication and adrenal supplementation are mere pieces of a complex puzzle, and won’t be effective on their own unless diet and lifestyle are addressed. Many people simply do not respond to conventional thyroid drugs, and are left bewildered about how to become well.
Hypothyroidism is often present for a number of years before it is recognized and treated. The American Thyroid Association now estimates that 20 million Americans have some form of thyroid disease, up to 60 percent of those with thyroid disease are unaware of their condition, women are five to eight times more likely than men to have thyroid problems, and one woman in eight will develop a thyroid disorder during her lifetime.
