YOUR THYROID NUTRITIONIST

Let me guess… You’ve been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and sent on your merry way with a prescription for a little pill to take until the end of your days. As your thyroid nutritionist & mind-body coach, let me tell you, you are not alone.

Your symptoms are still the same regardless of the medication. You feel tired, bloated, have put on weight, and generally feel like a shell of your former self? You’ve been told nothing can be done, your thyroid is not functioning as it should be, so you need to take the drug and get on with your life. What if I told you this was simply not true and you can heal your thyroid through diet.

One in twenty people in the UK have a thyroid problem and there are many more who have symptoms but have not been diagnosed. You’d think a problem on this scale would be treated more seriously by the primary care but sadly that is not the case. Medication taken for life when symptoms are still roaring is definitely not the answer you are looking for.  You may have arrived on this page searching for a “hypothyroidism diet”, but it is more complex than that.

There is a clear link between thyroid and diet, gut health, lifestyle, environment and mindset…

Hashimoto’s Disease (Thyroiditis)

The symptoms are many… Fatigue, increased sensitivity to cold, constipation, pale, dry skin, a puffy face, brittle nails, hair loss, enlargement of the tongue, unexplained weight gain, muscle aches, tenderness and stiffness, joint pain and stiffness, muscle weakness, excessive or prolonged menstrual bleeding, depression, memory lapses, “brain fog”…

Most cases of underactive thyroid (insufficient production of thyroxine) are caused by an autoimmune condition called Hashimoto’s Disease (Thyroiditis). It makes our immune system attack our own thyroid tissue, and over the years destroys it, causing a lowered production of thyroid hormones. The common answer to that is to replace the missing hormones with a synthetic equivalent. Clearly, that is not enough.

The symptoms, the root causes, the heightened chance of developing another autoimmune condition (diabetes, MS, etc), the frustration and sense of hopelessness are all still here.

The Solution

Functional medicine and personalised nutrition approach offer a different take on autoimmunity. Instead of focusing on the attempts to mask the symptoms it searches for and addresses the underlying mechanisms that caused it in the first place. It is, therefore, possible not only to minimise the symptoms but it some cases reverse the condition entirely. This holistic approach doesn’t just focus on the thyroid as an isolated organ that needs fixing but our body as a whole, with various pathways that could have let to this imbalance.

 

Some of the main possible causes of Hashimoto’s include gut imbalances including increased gut permeability, dysbiosis, microbiome imbalances, stress (both psychological and physical), underlying systemic inflammation caused by allergies and food sensitivities, toxins exposure and impaired detoxification pathways.

 

How could we possibly begin to feel better without addressing the above?

The Proof

I am personally the best example of the above. Diagnosed at 27 with raised thyroid antibodies, and TSH. I am and have been symptom-free since 2015 and my Hashimoto’s disease is in full remission. This is one of the reasons I decided to study nutrition and become a thyroid specialist and your thyroid nutritionist, helping women like you achieve similar results. The fact is that you can…

"Not only have I learnt so much about my mind and body, I’ve also learnt so much to help me help myself going forwards. I’ve loved being part of the Bloom community, learning and sharing, and I can’t thank Aggie enough for her continued support. Since working together I’m feeling so much more satisfied and energised from my food, not craving sweet foods constantly, my IBS issues are so much better and I’m much calmer and feel in control! It’s the best and most important investment I’ve made in myself."

“I wanted to take a moment and acknowledge the incredible impact Aggie and her 1:1 sessions have had on my life. I do not say this lightly, they have changed my life. I was in such a difficult place and had reached my lowest point. Now, my energy has increased and I feel empowered, armed with more knowledge and finally all of the things I knew I needed to change are clicking into place.”

"When Aggie first mentioned trauma plays a big part for a lot of people, it was like a light bulb coming on for me. I learned to notice how my body is feeling and different techniques to regulate myself. Since working with her through Bloom, and with the support of the Bloom community, not only have my energy levels and anxiety improved tenfold, but my weight and gut issues have stabilised too. Aggie is amazing at what she does, and I am so happy to have found her!"

“Before Aggie, I was so confused with all of the conflicting information on the internet about nutrition and thyroid health. Working with Aggie has given me the confidence to take charge of my health and not rely on medical professionals to give me answers. I can ask her anything without feeling embarrassed. I am very happy I decided to do her one to one program as I am now happier and healthier than ever!”

"Aggie and BLOOM was exactly what I was looking for! Savoury breakfasts, holistic approaches (my favourite), breath work, reiki, tapping have all been a game changer. Aggie and the group are really supportive and the 1-1’s are brilliant. So, here I am at the end of my BLOOM journey. I have started swimming 1-2 times per week, I’ve more energy, a body that’s more resilient to stress, and improved stamina. BLOOM is a great investment in YOU and your healing journey."

“Working with Aggie has quite literally been life changing for me. I was in such a state when we began and now we are 8 weeks in and I haven’t felt this good in years! My symptoms have disappeared and I actually feel amazing! She is so easy to chat to, easy to get hold of and really understands the issues and the effect they have on daily life. I would 100% recommend her to anyone with Hashimotos, you won’t regret it!”

I can’t thank Aggie enough for the huge difference this has made to my life.”

“My experience with Aggie has been unbelievable. I had every symptom from depression, exhaustion, anxiety, weight gain, insomnia, fogginess, entire body pain, you name it! Aggie is super approachable and easy going, non-judgemental and will tailor-make a programme to suit you! Now I’m full of energy, I have my mojo back, I sleep much better, the inflammation has gone down. Thank you, Aggie, for everything.”

“I started Aggie’s 1-2-1 program and very quickly began to feel a difference. I was sleeping better, had more energy, and losing weight was an added bonus. Emotional healing was a huge part of this journey. I particularly enjoyed the breathwork and this has become a daily practice for me. I now feel in control of my own health. I would not be where I am now without Aggie, her knowledge and support has been invaluable. Trust the process.”

"Thyroid Fundamentals has been so helpful and informative. I've loved the course such great value and so much more practical and realistic to put into practice than some of the books I've seen. Aggie’s positivity is so contagious and after over 20 years of a thyroid condition this course has made me realise it is possible to feel better. Thank you so much!"

"From the beginning, my journey with Aggie was clear, targeted; identifying & implementing tools & strategies including nutritional & nervous system support. I learned things about the human body I hadn't been aware of & how health issues can be triggered (but also mitigated) by simple, daily actions. I now feel amazing in mind & body, in control & armed with the tools I need to keep making the best decisions for me.

"Aggie has taught me much about my nervous system, about the value of routines and the importance of self-care. I feel more grounded and alive, with reduced overwhelm and less brain fog. My digestive symptoms are much improved, and I have reintroduced exercise to good effect. I feel stronger and more energised. It can be difficult to invest in ourselves and hard sometimes to reach out. I can honestly say, if you take the leap and work with Aggie, it will reward you in bucket loads! Do it today, you deserve it."

"I found Aggie and signed up to the Thyroid Fundamentals course and it’s been a game changer! It’s been amazing having the guidance and knowledge of Aggie to guide us as there is so much conflicting information when trying on your own. It’s very overwhelming! I now feel calmer and clearer going forward and more confident that I am following a better path for my body. The information she has shared has been so helpful."
