We have all been there!  Doing all of the “right” things and you are still not feeling well.  Maybe even your Doctor has told you that women with hypothyroidism need to work out more and eat less.  Nothing infuriates me more than hearing this.

After working with countless women who have all said the same things:

“I am exercising and eating healthy and I can’t lose weight.”

“I am taking my medication, but I am still suffering with fatigue, brain fog, and depression.”

“I just want to feel better and I am doing everything right.”

So what gives?

Oftentimes there are other areas of your health that are not being factored in.  And this is why, when I work with my clients, our focus is finding and treating the root cause.  This will be different for everyone and there are no cookie cutter protocols.

Ready to learn more about the HIDDEN CAUSES of an underactive thyroid?  Let’s dive in!

Unhealed Trauma.  Have you heard the phrase or even read the book, “The Body Keeps the Score”?  Our body holds onto unhealed trauma and can present itself in a number of ways, including disease and dysregulation. 

You’re not sleeping enough.  I get it.  There aren’t enough hours in the day.  But, did you know women actually require more sleep than men to thrive?  It’s true…tell your husbands!  Aim to get a solid 7-9 hours of sleep a night.  And if you are waking up in the middle of the night let’s look at your cortisol and circadian rhythm.

Last, you are always on your phone!  Exposure to EMF’s has a huge impact on the body and especially the thyroid.
