Thyroid Warrior Podcast

C.S Lewis said it correctly "We are what we believe we are".

I am urging you today to be careful how you speak to yourself. In this episode, I share three ways for you to practice kindness, love and compassion with yourself.

In a society where we are bombarded with messages of not being enough, I want to remind you that you are perfect just the way you are.

See yourself as the queen or king that you are and adjust your crown. You are handling your body going against what it was meant to do...the fatigue, the confusion, the joint pain.

Give yourself grace today and remember how strong you are!

Saying no gets a bad rap. I am going more in depth with the true things to say no to:

• Toxic people
• Things online that don't make you feel good about yourself
• Not reviewing the triggers behind why you don't feel good about yourself
• Tune in to this week's episode for more

These things can take up space and can live "rent free" in your mind and these things GOTTA GO!

Your mental health is so important and your brain is an important aspect of signaling to keep your body healthy.

This series is important, not just for you, but for everyone that interacts with you and your future.

It's time to get REAL.

I'm noticing a pattern here...as we are moving through this continued pandemic, we are being bombarded with more and more images/media about where we should be, how we should look and how we should feel.

I want to have conversations about this with you all because while I don't have a solution per se, but I want us, as a community to have the difficult conversations about body image, self worth and self esteem...and not necessarily in the woo woo way of light a candle and practice self care. You all know that I'm a proponent of taking care of ourselves, but I want to make sure we see all sides of it, including being comfortable getting uncomfortable.

On the last day of Thyroid Awareness Month, I wanted to talk about the last structures related to endocrine function.

We will of course bring everything together next week, but i want you to understand the more in depth concepts of our neuroendocrine system so that we can move forward with understanding the full body approach to wellness!

I am incredibly excited about this episode!

We get to hear from Kirstyn Brown, the Editor in Chief of Strong Fitness Magazine! We are talking about everything from self care practices to what Strong as a company is up to.

The most important thing that we discuss is the importance of acknowledging where you are and recognizing that you are STRONG in every way!

This week we're going to talk about the pituitary gland as well as the pineal gland.

It's very important that I break this down because this will begin to highlight the why behind so many of my previous episodes.

For example, now you can understand why the type of food is important or why movement is important and what we can do to really, truly support our bodies, as well as our thyroid gland.

In this series, we are going to talk about your brain as it relates to your limbic system/thyroid gland.

Your brain is incredibly powerful. It is composed of your pituitary hypothalamus your amygdala hippocampus, mammillary bodies your thalamus, as well as other structures.

Each week we are going to break down a part of your brain and this week we are starting with the hypothalamus.

It is no secret that 2020 has been difficult.

I could go on and on about it actually, but it won't really serve any of us. I touch *briefly* on events of this year, but what's most important is that you did it...WE did it...together.

I want you to focus on what you did do...how much time were you able to spend doing things you forgot you loved or did you talk to your loved ones more?

I had the opportunity to "feel" this year. It was nothing short of horrifying and amazing at the same time. So many things came to the surface for me.

It is my hope that you will love a little harder and recognize your worth in 2020.

You deserve it and remember...you're never alone.

Plant Diversity is becoming my new favorite thing to talk about!

Now that I've learned all about the benefits that fiber brings to our lives I want to reap the benefits all the time!

In this episode, I give you a challenge of adding more color to your plate. Increase the plant diversity, get all of the good fiber and watch how much it changes you for the better!

This series provides you with information from the book Fiber Fueled!

This series will be based upon the book "Fiber Fueled" by Dr. William Bulsiewicz. In it, he talks about how to rebuild your gut and he breaks down very difficult concepts into easy to understand topics.

We are all struggling with trying to find a "new normal" and now is the perfect time to start the basis of understanding how to truly build a solid foundation, especially because our gut is the largest endocrine organ in our body!

This episode gives you a snippet of a concept of Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs).
