Thyroid health is dependent on many factors including adrenal hormones, light exposure, micro and macronutrients. I assess and check mineral and vitamin levels instead of blindly supplementing.
I am not longer skipping breakfast to stabilize my blood sugar, cortisol and leptin levels.
Lots of protein and a good serving of veggies gives you a variety of phytonutrients, minerals and vitamins. Pomegranates are the “ cherry”on top. ;)

Drinking freshly squeezed orange juice and ginger juice this morning because I am feeling a bit under the weather. I also like to crush up garlic and take it with a TS of Manuka honey for throat pain.
Restorative sleep is important for our wellbeing. Sleep hygiene includes avoiding blue light at night and getting natural light in the mornin, avoiding heavy dinners and alcohol, late coffee and too little movement.

Mindset is of utmost importance for healing. Practice daily gratitude for better health.

What is less noon is that the partners pheromones can play a role for ovulation as well.
Using an individual approach to everyone’s unique biochemical differences, environmental factors, nutritional and metabolic type helps me heal patients in a more long lasting way. It’s a constant learning curve for me.
High protein breakfast with lean grass fed steak, heritage eggs, spinach, asparagus, sweet potato. Starting the day with high protein sets you up for better blood glucose and cortisol regulation, reduces stress levels and stabilized mood.
Foods that need to be banned in the US. Europe has stricter laws when it comes to food safety. There is so much mislabeling and misinformation. Read labels carefully. Buy from local farmers. Grow your own.
Very interesting study from the UK. What I find particularly fascinating other than babies already having developed taste buds is that what tastes they are exposed to in utero can expand their preferences once they are born. The healthier the mom eats and the more flavors she exposes the baby to, the more benefit for the baby potentially later on in life. The same rule goes for small children. And even for babies, kale is an acquired taste 😂
