Your thyroid is your metabolic regulator, your body's engine. If it slows down, your body slows down. If it speeds up, your body speeds up. If you're suffering from symptoms like weight gain, thinning hair, increased sensitivity to cold, increased fatigue, and heavier periods, you may need to get your thyroid checked and see what's up.
Don't be alarmed, though, there is always something you can do to help reset your thyroid and support it throughout your healing journey if something is going on!
Dive with me, on this episode, to discover the importance of your thyroid, how to properly test for thyroid issues, and what you can do to help re-balance your body and support thyroid function.
If you know of anyone suffering from thyroid issues like hypothyroidism/ Hashimoto's, or hyperthyroidism and Grave's disease, please share! You never know how much this knowledge can help someone :)

Eating 2-3 hours before bed (ideally before 7 pm): Going to sleep on an empty stomach is such a game-changer to boost mood, energy, and vitality for the next morning and to reinforce processes like memory consolidation and mitochondrial repair.
-
10,000 Steps a Day: We're all busy creatures and we all tend to stay indoors or head to the gym for an exercise. But if you're in a stressful time and your body is undergoing stress, you want to remove HIIT/ interval training from your workouts and start simply walking outdoors- 10,000 steps as a daily goal can help with numerous health benefits like lowering blood pressure, increasing serotonin production, increasing vitamin D intake and so much more.
-
Waking up 15-min. earlier: If you're an extremely busy individual who feels like your'e drowning in work, with the kids, or with anything you're dealing with, waking up 15 minutes earlier for self-care, "me-time", meditation, prayer, or whatever can help start your day better, this will be such a great way to boost health, happiness, energy, and productivity.

I know it sounds overwhelming and almost scary to even open this can of worms, but your health should be number one-- so let's dive in and get you to a better understanding of how this works so you can make better choices :)
