    I’m curious, could Pea Protein work in place of the Beef Protein? I’m not able to get the Beef at the present time. Additionally, do you know of a coconut milk that doesn’t smell like coconut? I gag trying to drink it, I’ve had to use almond milk instead.

      Lisa – thank you so much for reaching out. Yes pea protein would work as a substitute for the beef protein. I have created my own line of supplements, which also includes an Organic Pea Protein. Here’s the link: https://rootcology.com/collections/supplements/products/copy-of-purepaleo-protein-vanilla. When it comes to coconut milk canned coconut milk that is free of additives is best to use. If you cannot tolerate coconut milk, you may have to find an alternative that works best for you. You could use almond milk instead, or tigernut milk if you’re doing AIP. I hope this helps. <3

            Kim – thank you for reaching out. Collagen protein is not a complete protein, so while it’s a great add-on to smoothies, I wouldn’t recommend it as a base for smoothies, unless you’re adding another complete protein source as the base. In contrast to collagen, beef protein is a complete protein, meaning it contains the essential amino acids we need to survive. As well as beef protein, I recommend bone broth, 70% of people with Hashimoto’s found that it helped. Specifically, 62% saw an increase in energy, 57% an improvement in mood, and 32% an improvement in skin. Bone broth provides healing collagen and nutrients to support our gut lining and skin. You can make your own or order it . I hope these articles help:

    Is the beef organic, from grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle? Thank you

      Felice – thank you for reaching out. The beef is sourced from animals that are pastured and humanely raised in Sweden, without hormones and any GMO grains, grasses, hay, and/or ensilage. If you have any other questions about the supplements please feel free to email my team at info@rootcology.com and they will be happy to help you. <3

      Hello, Graves and Hashimoto’s are both autoimmune conditions that affect the thyroid. They are thought to be closely related. Sometimes one turns into the other. The difference is the site of the antibody attack. In Hashimoto’s, the antibodies are found to thyroglobulin (in 80%) and thyroid peroxidase (TPO) enzyme (in 95% of people) Hashimoto’s results in hypothyroidism and is usually treated with Synthroid and replacement hormone. The same antibodies may be present in a smaller percentage of people who have Graves, but the main antibody is to the TSH Receptor (TSHR-Ab). Usually, people with Graves have hyperthyroidism, and they are treated conventionally with thyroid suppressing drugs (methimazole) or radioactive iodine to destroy the thyroid. At that point, the thyroid will no longer produce hormones on its own, and these people end up on Synthroid as well. Most thyroid conditions result from the immune system attacking the thyroid because the immune system is out of balance. Even when the thyroid is taken out surgically or treated with radioactive iodine the autoimmunity still persists in most cases. Many people will have their thyroids removed, and will develop new autoimmune disorders such as Lupus, Rheumatoid arthritis, etc. The immune system just finds a different target. We need to rebalance the immune system to prevent this.  Sometimes the autoimmunity can be reversed as well! The gut determines your immune system. With the exception of discussing proper thyroid medication dosing, the majority of my website and my book focuses on balancing the immune system. The info I present is based on my own research and journey for overcoming my autoimmune thyroid condition. ❤️ Here is an article you might find interesting:
