My New Thyroid COOKBOOK
Posted by Jill McLaughlin on Dec 11, 2012
I’m co-writing a Thyroid Health cookbook! I’m so excited I can hardly stand it. This idea was hatched at about 8:30 the night before one of my Fire Your Thyroid classes, as I was emailing with my very close friend and class participant, Lisa Markley.

I recently wrapped up Version 2.0 of my Fire Your Thyroid teleclass series. What an amazingly rewarding experience – again.

To Paleo or Not to Paleo
Posted by Jill McLaughlin on Dec 10, 2012
As popularity in the Paleo (short for Paleolithic) diet has grown, so have questions from my clients about its merits. Many of my clients are nutritionally savvy – they’ve done a lot of their own research on hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s, and adrenal fatigue, and come to me to help them sort out the contradictions and confusion and give them a supportive program with which they can start putting one foot in front of the other. And there is a lot of confusion about the benefits of going Paleo.

Hypothyroidism and Hair Loss
Posted by Jill McLaughlin on Oct 23, 2012
When you have a sluggish thyroid, feeling crappy and tired and irritable is difficult enough. But seeing your brush and bathroom sink filled with hair is devastating – it’s a visible manifestation of your imbalance. No one wants to lose hair, no matter what the cause. And we’re not just talking scalp loss. Many people with hypothyroidism also see thinning of the outer third of their eyebrows.
Turmeric: The Wonder Spice

Current research hails turmeric as a miracle spice because of its incredible anti-inflammatory properties. In recent studies, turmeric has outperformed many pharmaceuticals in the treatment of a wide range of chronic, degenerative diseases.
Foods That Don't Love You Back
Posted by Jill McLaughlin on Sep 19, 2012
I get a lot of questions about food sensitivities. My clients want to know the difference between a food sensitivity and a food allergy. Here’s the difference. Food allergies cause an immediate response. Hives? Shortness of breath? Anaphylactic Shock? Swelling of the lips, face, tongue, or throat? Nausea or vomiting? Abdominal pain? Dizziness? These are all signs of a food allergy. Food sensitivities are shiftier and can exact an even greater toll on our health because they’re more challenging to identify, often causing the ensuing cellular inflammation to rage on for years.

Eating healthfully on a regular basis can be challenging enough. Factor in travel, and it makes things a little more difficult. Factor in dietary restrictions, and it becomes even harder. Let’s talk about what to take along and also how to eat in restaurants.
