Many of us have been home for the past few weeks, and it looks like that could be the case for at least a few more weeks (or months!) to come. While staying at home can be therapeutic for some people (hi there, introverts!), prolonged periods of time indoors — with limited activity — can start to take a mental toll on many of us (extrovert, here!). I’m …

New Year, New Role, New Goals!
I love this time of year… the holidays are an amazing opportunity to slow down and relax with family, as well as reflect on the past and future. Plus, the new year is always a great time to start fresh! Over the past few years, my readers, clients, colleagues, team members and family have helped me evolve in so many ways as a human being, healer, friend, …
Bone Broth: Help Your Gut to Help Your Thyroid
If you have spent any time in the health and wellness world over the past few years, you’ve probably heard of bone broth — otherwise known as liquid gold. Bone broth is made by cooking down the bones of animals (usually chicken or beef) to release the nutrients they contain, and has been touted as a healing elixir for everything from joint health to …
Mindfulness & Meditation for Thyroid Health
When I set out on the road to recovery from Hashimoto’s, I invested countless hours in finding the right diet, experimenting with supplements, and adjusting my medications to feel better. And for a long time, those things worked! I had more energy, my hair started to grow back, my acid reflux went away, and I found myself more productive than ever. I even …
The Best Diet For Hashimoto’s
What is the right diet to heal Hashimoto’s? I hear this question a lot. Unfortunately, the answer isn’t always straight forward, as nutrition is the only science where multiple answers can be both correct and wrong. One (wo)man’s medicine can be another (wo)man’s poison. We are all different, and although we may have the same condition, different …

Uncover Your Hashimoto’s Root Cause with an Elimination Diet
Food sensitivities are often a huge trigger for people with Hashimoto’s. I had a major sensitivity to dairy and gluten, and getting off both of these foods helped me get rid of the acid reflux I had been battling for over three years. Changing my diet also helped me eliminate my bloating, symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety, nasal congestion, …
New Year, New Cookbook, New Goals!
Hello, I hope this message finds you well! I am enjoying some time relaxing with my family in Boulder, Colorado! My parents drove down from Chicago with their Pomeranian Winkee, and I can’t wait to dress up their dog and our dog Boomer in Christmas clothes (one of my guilty pleasures!). I may post some pictures on Instagram :-) For now, I wanted …
September 2016 Book Club
I’ve been a book lover and a lover of reading my entire life! It all started when I was a little girl. I had an insatiable appetite for fairy tales, and none of the adults in my family had the bandwidth to read me fairy tales all day (after all, they had other things to do!) So I taught myself to read at age four so I could read fairy tales to my heart’s …
Do You Have to Be Wealthy to Overcome Hashimoto’s?
Visiting New York brings up a lot of emotions for me... When I first met my husband in 2005, I was still in pharmacy school in Chicago, and he was living in New York. I used to come visit him when I was a young, fabulous and broke college student. I loved the energy, the vibe and the pace of New York and looked forward to every visit. Michael eventually …
