If you would like more variety than eating eggs and meat in the morning. These options are still simple and nourishing, while adding a little more variation. Both ideas combine carbohydrates with protein and healthy fats. This works well because the natural sugar from the banana is balanced by the protein and fat in the meal. Which can help support more stable blood sugar levels and steady energy in the morning. 1: Yogurt Bowl with Egg Yolks and Banana Ingredients: - 1 cup unsweetened lactose-free Greek yogurt (preferably full-fat, if tolerated) - 2 raw egg yolks (good-quality eggs, ideally pasture-raised if available) - ½–1 slightly green banana or a handful of berries If lactose-free Greek yogurt is not available, you can use unsweetened coconut yogurt instead. Instructions: 1. Place the yogurt in a bowl. 2. Stir in the two egg yolks until well combined. 3. Slice the banana and add it on top or berries if desired. Why this works: The yogurt and egg yolks provide protein and healthy fats. These help balance the natural sugars from the banana, which may support steadier blood sugar levels and longer-lasting energy. 2: Banana Pancakes with Butter 🧈 Ingredients: - 1 slightly green banana - 2 eggs - A pinch of salt - Butter for cooking and topping Instructions: 1. Mash the banana in a bowl. 2. Add the eggs and salt, and whisk until smooth. 3. Heat butter in a pan over medium-low heat. 4. Cook small pancakes on both sides until golden. 5. Serve with butter on top. Why this works: The eggs provide protein and fat, and the butter adds additional healthy fat. Together, they balance the carbohydrates from the banana and help prevent a quick rise in blood sugar. What did you have for breakfast today?❤️

A recent systematic review & meta-analysis looked at how probiotics and synbiotics affect thyroid function in adults. 👉 Researchers pooled data from 9 clinical trials examining TSH, Free T3 and Free T4 levels. 🔬 What they found: • TSH significantly decreased • Free T3 and Free T4 significantly increased • Effects were strongest in: People with existing thyroid dysfunction, Interventions lasting ≤ 8 weeks ⚠️ Important: This doesn’t mean probiotics “cure” Hashimoto’s but this is promising evidence! If you’re dealing with both thyroid autoimmunity and histamine sensitivity, strain selection matters. Here are options that are generally well-tolerated, low in fillers, and commonly used in protocols: 1️⃣ MegaSporeBiotic by Microbiome Labs Type: Spore-based (Bacillus species) Why it’s popular in Hashimoto’s protocols: - Shelf-stable soil-based organisms - Minimal excipients - Designed to support gut barrier integrity 💡 Best for: Those wanting strong microbiome modulation without common histamine-producing strains. ⚠️ Start low and go slow if highly histamine sensitive. 2️⃣ Biospora (by Klaire Labs) Type: Spore-based Why it fits: - Clinically used - Minimal fillers - Often well-tolerated in autoimmune protocols 💡 Best for: Thyroid autoimmunity + histamine intolerance. 3️⃣ VitaMonk Low Histamine Probiotic (by VitaMonk) Type: Lactobacillus & Bifidobacterium blend Why it fits: - Designed to avoid histamine-producing strains - Focused on histamine-neutral support 💡 Best for: Those with strong histamine reactions who can’t tolerate many standard probiotics. 🧠 Important Reminder Not everyone with Hashimoto’s needs probiotics. Before starting: - Assess gut symptoms (bloating, constipation, loose stools, reflux) - Consider iron status (low iron is common in thyroid dysfunction) - Evaluate stress load (cortisol impacts gut + thyroid signaling) Probiotics work best as part of a bigger strategy: ✔️ Blood sugar stability ✔️ Nutrient density (especially heme iron, selenium, zinc)

We’d love to get to know you! Please comment below with: 1. Name / Age / How long you’ve had Hashimoto’s 2. The main symptom you want to improve 3.

My main issue is [symptom]. I’ve tried [X] and it helped a bit. My goal for the next 4 weeks is to [ex. build a morning routine I can stick to and have more energy].

I have an amazing update inside AIP-Friendly Recipes Course (in classroom). I've made some improvements: ✅ Low-Histamine Options Added: Most of the recipes are now strict AIP + low histamine, so they’re safe for those with histamine sensitivity or flare-ups. ⚠️ Clear Notes for High-Histamine Ingredients: For recipes that aren’t low in histamine, I’ve made it very clear which ones these are, so you know what to watch out for. 🌱 Reintroduction Phase Recipes: Some recipes are marked as reintroduction phase, for those of you exploring foods beyond strict elimination. These recipes are great once you’ve started reintroducing, but most of the course is still safe for strict AIP. 💡 I know how tricky it can be to balance Hashimoto’s, AIP and histamine sensitivity, so I wanted to make it easier to see which recipes work for you! 🥗 Dig In! The majority of recipes are ready to go and safe for strict AIP + histamine-friendly, so you can cook and enjoy without stress. I hope this makes meal planning a little easier and more enjoyable for all of you!<3

If you’re a woman with Hashimoto’s and you’re always tired, cold, dizzy or losing hair… iron deficiency may be a huge part of the puzzle🔍💛 Shocking truth: 👉 Up to 70% of Hashimoto’s women have low ferritin(iron)! Why it happens: ❤️ Heavy or irregular periods Common in thyroid + hormone imbalance → lose more blood → lose more iron 🥣 Poor absorption • Low stomach acid (very common with Hashimoto’s) • Gut infections like H. pylori or SIBO • Inflammation • Certain medications 🥩 Higher need for iron Your body needs iron to: • Convert T4 → T3 • Make energy • Transport oxygen • Support your immune system What low iron feels like: 🥱 Exhaustion ❄️ Cold hands/feet 💇‍♀️ Hair loss 💓 Heart palpitations 🧠 Brain fog 🏋️ Weakness or breathlessness 🌿 How to support iron levels naturally: • Eat heme iron: beef, lamb, liver • Avoid coffee/tea with meals (blocks absorption) • Restore stomach acid (game changer!) • Check ferritin + iron panel • Address gut infections if present Iron deficiency isn’t a side problem, it’s a root cause for MANY thyroid symptom!
