If you've been feeling exhausted, foggy, moody, or stuck in a body that just won’t budge, it’s time to tune inward. Turn up the volume on intuitive nourishment. Many of my clients don't realize that their symptoms may be tied to one powerful, yet often-overlooked gland: the thyroid.

The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland about two inches long located in the front of the throat.

🌿 Your Thyroid: Small But Mighty

Your thyroid plays a crucial role in your overall well-being. It affects your metabolism, mood, and how your hormones function.

In addition to managing your metabolism, the thyroid helps regulate:

Blood pressure
Body temperature
Breathing
Cholesterol levels
Detoxification
Heart rate
Immune function
Muscle strength
Libido
Sleep

When you're under stress—and who isn't?—it impacts your thyroid. This can affect your weight, your energy, and your mood. It can even take away your ability to feel like you again.

⚠️ Could Your Thyroid Be Out of Balance?

Many women are silently struggling with thyroid imbalances like Hashimoto’s or Graves’ disease, often without a clear diagnosis. Common symptoms to watch for include:

Hashimoto’s (Hypothyroidism, Underactive Thyroid):

Fatigue
Brain fog
Weight gain
Dry skin
Hair loss
Mood swings

Graves’ (Hyperthyroidism, Overactive Thyroid):

Anxiety
Heart palpitations
Insomnia
Tremors
Brain fog
Weight loss

Do any of these symptoms feel familiar? You're not alone. Fortunately, there’s a nourishing, all-natural path to a healthier, more vibrant YOU.

The Nourished Alive Approach:

Intuitive Nourishment + Movement

My approach focuses on helping clients reset their thyroid and rebalance hormones. This is achieved through an intuitive approach, integrating nourishment and movement tailored to your body, energy, and lifestyle.

Intuitive Nourishment: Real food supports your body’s unique needs, resets gut health, and balances hormones naturally.

Intuitive Movement: This includes gentle, flowing exercises that honor your energy levels. It’s about doing less, not more.

5 Ways to Support Your Thyroid Naturally

With Intuitive Nourishment & Movement

Your thyroid won’t thrive under high-stress, high-intensity workouts. Instead, it flourishes with gentle, soothing movements that nourish rather than deplete. The next time your body signals a desire for movement, consider these options:

Walking in nature
Gentle yoga or intuitive stretching—pause and breathe into your stretch; that’s plenty! Remember, less is more.
Resting during your luteal/premenstrual phase instead of hitting the gym.
Movement based on how your body feels each day. We are not the same every day; honor your intuitive movement needs and observe your thyroid returning to balance through gentleness rather than intensity.

2. Prioritize Deep, Restful Sleep

You may think, "I'll sleep when I'm dead." But remember, you're not a robot. Your thyroid is part of your entire being. It needs sleep to repair, restore, and function properly.

How about trying this tonight? Infuse your nighttime routine with nourishment:

Create a wind-down ritual to support 7–9 hours of restorative sleep each night.
Dim the lights and focus on something still, while you breathe. This activates your rest and digest system, signaling to your body that it’s time to unwind.
Just like your phone, when it’s dead, you plug it in. The same applies to your body: when you feel tired, rest and recharge.

3. Nourish with Real, Nutrient-Dense, Anti-Inflammatory Foods

Nutrient-dense, whole foods are essential for thyroid health. Your body knows what it needs. Symptoms are your body's way of communicating; pay attention and don’t ignore them.

Eat to nourish, looking for foods that support your thyroid, such as:

Liver detox foods: beets, leafy greens, and cruciferous veggies (like broccoli and cauliflower)
Foods that boost gut health: broth and fermented foods
Hormone balance: healthy fats, avocados, nuts, and seeds

4. Reduce Toxin Exposure

Toxins can disrupt thyroid function and hormone signaling. Simple swaps can make a big difference:

Use my DIY dish soap recipe.
Avoid plastics, scented candles, and conventional cleaning products.
Heat food on the stove rather than in the microwave; swap plastic for glass containers.

5. Nourish Your Nervous System Daily

A calm and nourished nervous system allows your thyroid to regulate hormone production efficiently. This helps bring it back to balance. Here are some daily nourishment practices to calm your nervous system, utilizing the vagus nerve (which connects the gut to your thyroid):

Deep belly breathing
Singing or humming
Gargling
Connecting with loved ones and laughing

These aren’t just self-care practices — they’re thyroid care.
