I know, I know. You checked the box for every single one of these yet you go to the doctor demanding your thyroid be checked just to have it come back normal every single time 🙄. Here’s the deal. Blood labs don’t show the whole picture. You’re probably wondering how all these symptoms can be related to your thyroid. Well girlfriend, your thyroid runs the metabolic show. When we talk about pro-metabolic eating, we are talking about supporting your thyroid, the main metabolic gland. Your metabolism is the process that your body uses to transform food to energy that your body uses …

Every morning you run out the door eating your breakfast in the car or walking. You’re stressed at work so you eat lunch at your desk trying to get things done or your face is buried in your phone. You’re standing over the sink scarfing down your lunch because you’re too busy. When you were a kid your parents always fought at the kitchen table. You were always judged by family members or friends for going up for seconds, how much you ate or what you ate. You always had to fend for yourself as a kid because your parents were never home for …

So what’s the difference between these 2 lists? Digestibility, absorbability, and bio-available protein. I have said it before and I will say it again, animal foods are far superior to plant foods especially when it comes to protein! I honestly don’t even know how plants can qualify as proteins. You see plants, nuts, seeds, soy, beans, lentils, and pea proteins contain defense mechanisms like enzyme inhibitors, toxic proteins, phytates and other anti-nutrients because they don’t want you to eat them. They also contain PUFAs creating oxidative stress, heavy metals from the soils and tap water they are grown in and glyphosate. Plant proteins do …

So you’ve got all the symptoms of hormonal imbalances: PMS/ mood swings cramping heavy, light or irregular periods fatigue bloating night sweats + sleep probs breast tenderness migraines/headaches infertility low libido acne weight gain brain fog How many times have you been to the doctors and hear “don’t worry, it’s just hormonal” and you are told to go on birth control or take HRT and it will fix everything! Or how many times have you run to the doctor to get your hormones checked through blood work (not the best method FYI) only to be left without any answers or same as above, be told you need to go on birth control and it …

Before you go cutting calories, starving yourself, killing yourself at the gym and joining the next best diet trend. I would consider taking a good hard look at your digestion and gut health. And no, you do not need to be having “digestive issues” to have a fucked up gut microbiome. It can show up in so many different ways, one being weight gain or weight loss resistance. Your gut microbiome is the community of bacteria, fungi, protazoa and viruses that live inside your gut. They play an important role in basically every process in the body from mental health to …

Girl, I will say it over and over again. It is NOT the carbs fault. If you find that you can’t tolerate carbs whether they make you tired, they cause gas and bloating, or weight gain it is not the carbs fault but an underlying reason to WHY your cells are not able to use glucose for energy in the first place If we can’t use carbs well, we need to address our body as a whole. Going low carb to fix insulin resistance only leaves you more insulin resistant. WE NEED CARBS! Our bodies main source of energy is glucose …

What if I told you the #1 thing I did to heal my relationship with food and my body was that I stopped giving a shit. Yup. I stopped obsessing over every little thing that went in my body and relating it to whatever symptom I was experiencing. I stopped giving food so much power. I stopped feeling guilty and shameful for eating something off plan. I stopped comparing myself to others and their “diets” or weight loss goals. I stopped being a perfectionist around food. I stopped labeling foods good or bad. I stopped living in fear around food. Our minds are so powerful. This constant mind fuck …

If someone tells you to eat 1200 calories a day I give you permission to tell them to fuck off. 1200 calories is the recommended caloric intake for a toddler. Why would a grown adult think 1200 calories would sustain a body that weighs 8x that of a toddler? 1200 calories is the minimum requirement you need just to stay alive. On top of that, stress increases your need for more nutrients. Stress in all forms: exercise/physical stress, poor sleep, a fight with a friend, work stress, family stress, driving to work, health anxiety, poor digestion, environmental toxins, EMFs, blue light, emotional …

I used to be that girl. I went to the tanning salon, I was on birth control for 12 years, loved my MAC makeup + perfume, burned those candles, loved the smell of a clean house, drank out of plastic water bottles or tap, cooked on non stick pans, heated up my perfectly counted pre-prepped macro meal in plastic in the microwave (but I was being healthy right guys?), ate all the PUFAs + conventional foods. No wonder why I ended up with every estrogen dominant symptom in the book! I was not only getting estrogen endogenously but also exogenously with …

93% of women have cellulite. Women are dropping money like it’s HOT on treatments like creams and lasers to get rid of cellulite, I’m talking upwards $4,000 per treatment. 😳 The increase in cellulite comes to no surprise considering the extremely estrogenic, stressed out, mineral depleted world we live in. The cause for your cellulite? Any stressor that creates excess estrogen in your body. Low thyroid function, low progesterone, PUFAs, and nutrient and mineral deficiencies. A sluggish thyroid causes a sluggish metabolism leading to poor circulation and less oxygen creating cellulite. And what do we need to have a robust metabolism and …

No girlfriend, you don’t “just have heartburn” Over 1/2 of Americans take antacids regularly. PPIs are the most commonly used drugs in the world. I see so often the amount of people that undergo unnecessary gallbladder removal due to acid reflux. Like as if the gallbladder is a useless organ. 😤Ya maybe if you didn’t need to digest fat to survive. This is honestly all nonsense. Heartburn, acid reflux, and GERD can be healed naturally through nutrition! Hold me to it. Not to mention, western medicine fails to recognize that heartburn is actually due to low stomach acid, not too much! Taking the …

Are you shook? Yup, the same foods that are pro-metabolic are also pro-digestion. You see. Digestion requires lots and lots of nutrients and energy to do its job and keep that digestive fire burning. If you metabolism is sluggish due to nutrient deficiencies then your digestion will be too whether it be bloating, constipation, diarrhea, gas, etc it is always a metabolic issue. The problem is when you have digestive issues the first thing you want to do is restrict food in hopes of feeling better which in the end is just contributing to more nutrient deficiencies. By supporting your metabolism you are in …
