Helping women with Hashimoto's learn how to work out without the burnout.

If you tested these markers, you would:

🤎 get diagnosed sooner instead of feeling like 💩 for years
🤎not go to 5 different doctors before getting diagnosed

If you want get these labs done, drop “LABS” below 👇🏼

And here’s the thing, you can self order these tests for under $200.

Getting that data is gold. Because then you know if you have the autoimmune component of hypothyroidism. You know if you are converting your thyroid hormones properly.

This is why we take a “test, not guess” approach because data is power.

If you want a deeper dive into your thyroid labs, drop “LABS” below 👇🏼

Reason 1: Your cortisol curve is inverted.

It's supposed to spike in the morning to wake you up. With Hashimoto's, it often does the opposite, flat in the morning, elevated at night. So you can't fall into deep sleep, and you wake up feeling like you never slept.

Reason 2: Your blood sugar dropped at 3am.

If you're under-eating or skipping protein at dinner, your blood sugar crashes overnight. Your body wakes up your stress response to compensate. You're exhausted, but you don't know why.

Reason 3: A gut infection is stealing your B12 and iron.

H. pylori suppresses stomach acid. No stomach acid means you can't absorb B12 or iron. Low B12 and iron = fatigue that 9 hours of sleep cannot fix. This is the one that almost nobody looks at.

Reason 4: Your thyroid isn't converting properly overnight.

T4 has to convert to active T3 while you sleep. If your liver is sluggish, your gut is inflamed, or your ferritin is low, that conversion fails and you wake up running on empty.

Reason 5: You have mold exposure you haven't connected to your symptoms.

Mold can cause a histamine response in the middle of the night. And mycotoxins tank your mitochondria, the powerhouses of your cells.
No amount of sleep fixes mitochondrial dysfunction. You wake up tired because your cells can't produce energy, not because you didn't sleep enough.

None of these show up on a basic thyroid panel.

If you are exhausted after every workout with Hashimoto’s, the problem may not be your thyroid medication.

It may be how you are training.

A lot of women are stuck in the cardio hamster wheel.

More classes.
More HIIT.
More calorie burn.

But they are not building muscle.

Muscle improves insulin sensitivity, stabilizes blood sugar, and supports thyroid hormone conversion.

This is why my approach focuses on strength training three days per week with adequate protein intake.

Less chaos.
More strategy.

If you are ready to stop cycling through protocols and want a personalized root cause plan with support, comment CHANGE.

5 reasons you’re eating more protein but not losing fat with Hashimoto’s…

Reason #1: You’re not absorbing it
You can eat all the protein in the world…
But if you’ve got hidden gut infections (H. pylori, SIBO, parasites)?
Your body literally CAN’T break it down and absorb it.
So that chicken breast? Just passing through. Not building muscle. Not supporting your thyroid.

Reason #2: Low stomach acid
Here’s what most people don’t know…
Low stomach acid is SUPER common with Hashimoto’s.
And without enough acid? You’re not breaking protein down properly.
Result? Bloating, undigested food sitting in your gut, and zero amino acids actually making it to your muscles.
Your body needs strong stomach acid production to unlock protein’s benefits..

Reason #3: You THINK you’re hitting your protein target like a boss
Quick math:
2 eggs = 12g protein, 10g fat
That’s only 48 calories from protein… but 90 from fat.
Translation? You just ate a 65% fat meal, thinking it was high protein.
You need at least 30g of protein per meal to stimulate your muscles. 1-2 eggs won’t cut it.

Reason #4: Too much processed protein
Those protein bars, powders, plant-based protein bars?
Packed with fake fiber, sugar alcohols, and fats that digest fast, cause bloating, trigger inflammation… and burn WAY fewer calories than good ole animal protein 🥩🍗

Reason #5: Waking up 2-3 times a night = đź’© sleep
Less than 7 hours of quality sleep? Less than 1.5-2 hours of deep sleep?
Your blood sugar crashes. Your energy tanks. Your cravings spike.
And here’s the kicker: Studies show poor sleep = more muscle loss, less fat loss… even in a calorie deficit.
One bad night increases insulin resistance by 25%.

Look, I’m gonna be real with you...

You can:

BUT if you’re not building a solid foundation of eating protein, lifting weights, dialing in your sleep, and regulating your nervous system, it doesn’t really matter how many labs you run….You’re still not gonna feel good.

I had a client who thought her thyroid meds were the whole answer. Endocrinologist gave her meds, told her to go gluten-free, done. But it turned out she had gut infections and environmental toxins driving up her antibodies.

The meds alone? Never would’ve worked.”

Here’s the thing: it’s not about doing more. I get it for all the moms who feel like their plate is already overflowing and don’t want more to-dos.

It’s really not about doing more but it’s about doing the right things.

Brain fog is one of the most common struggles I hear from the Hashi ladies.

❌ Trouble concentrating.
❌ Rereading the same line over and over again.
❌ Forgetting simple things, like where’s my keys?!?!

You assume it is just your thyroid.

But when I work with clients, I find other root causes driving brain fog that your Endo talks about:
• Gut infections
• Blood sugar issues
• Inflammation
• Problems converting thyroid hormone can all play a role

When we address those pieces, mental clarity often improves.

I break a lot of the “rules” you see online for Hashimoto’s.

And my clients do too.

Because most of those rules are built around restriction, not root cause.

I eat dairy every day.
I don’t cut out entire food groups.
I’m not chasing the perfect nervous system routine.
I’m not stretching my way out of joint pain.

And I’m definitely not trying to “eat less and do more cardio.”

Because that approach never worked for me.

What did?

Addressing what was actually going on in my gut.

Parasites.
Gut infections.
Impaired digestion.

Once that was handled, my body could actually tolerate foods again.
My energy improved.
My symptoms improved.

HINT: if you feel like you keep removing more and more foods and still aren’t getting better… you’re probably not dealing with a food problem.

You’re dealing with something upstream.

I don’t teach restriction.
I teach you how to identify what’s actually driving your symptoms so you can stop guessing.

🥴 Your H. pylori came back… now what?

Here’s what your last practitioner didn’t tell you…H. pylori can spread between partners through saliva and close household contact.

You address it, feel better for a while, and then the burping, reflux, and belly bloat come back. Hint…the missing piece is that your partner didn’t address it.

đź’ˇ Reinfection happens if you're kissing or sharing utensils.

When I’m working with clients dealing with persistent gut issues, we often have to look at the bigger picture to understand why protocols haven’t worked.

You cut out gluten for your Hashimoto’s…
and you’re still bloated by 2pm every day.

I see this all the time.

You assume it’s still something you’re eating 🙅🏻‍♀️
So you remove more foods… and nothing changes.

HINT: if you’ve already removed gluten and you’re still bloated, it’s probably not just about the food.

This is where I start looking deeper.

Things like parasites can drive:

✔️ bloating
✔️ histamine reactions
✔️ nutrient deficiencies
✔️ immune activation

And yes, this can happen even if you don’t have obvious digestive symptoms.

I discovered this in my own case.

When I ran advanced testing, I had FOUR different parasites from travel years earlier.

Once I addressed them, my symptoms improved significantly.

This is why testing matters. Otherwise you stay stuck guessing.

I was eating 1,200 calories and gaining weight. Here's what I was missing...

For 2 years, I did everything "right."
- Tracked macros.
- Worked out 6 days a week.
- Cut carbs. Cut sugar.

and I gained weight...

But here's what no one told me: My body wasn't broken. It was protecting me.

When you eat too little with Hashimoto's:
❌ Metabolism slows.
❌ Your body thinks it's starving.
❌ Thyroid conversion tanks (T4 to T3).
❌ Cortisol stays high.
❌ Muscle breaks down.

So I did the opposite. Ate MORE. Lifted weights 3x a week. Rested.

My body responded. I lost 35 lbs, got my energy back and finally got rid of the brain fog!

Your body doesn't need punishment. It needs fuel.

In my upcoming free masterclass, I’m breaking down why thyroid medication and going gluten-free often aren’t enough and what actually needs to be addressed underneath.
