Still shattered after a full night’s sleep?

Do you need coffee to wake you up, then something sweet to get you through the extra afternoon tiredness?

Perhaps you’re tired all day, then wide awake the minute it’s finally time for bed. Or one busy day leaves you needing days, sometimes weeks, to recover.

All of these get bundled into “I’m tired”.

Looked at together, the timing of your tiredness, whether rest helps or not, and what helps you keep going can show which type of tired is dominant for you right now.

The free Fatigue Quiz asks 7 quick questions and gives you your tired type, along with three first steps you can start today. It takes under 2 minutes.

Comment QUIZ and I’ll send you the link.

For those of you new around here, I thought I'd introduce myself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I was an orthodontist for over 20 years - I still love giving people a reason to smile! 😄
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Discovered my paleo-type lifestyle almost 15 years ago, which is when I learned about Functional Medicine.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Became very ill in 2013 and conventional medicine decided that it was all in my head and I wasn't having that!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Retrained seven years ago to become a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Until recently, was a proud mum of 21 children, yes 21! 😝
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I have 3 beautiful kids - 2 boys and a girl.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I have 2 crazy fur babies, Ralph and Rafferty, also known as cattus piggusses (they're very, very greedy cats).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Until recently, I had 16 wonderful hens (who are no more 😔 thanks to a vixen who left her calling card).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I speak fluent English (obviously 😉) and Yoruba, a little bit of Ibo and Greek. I intend to start learning Spanish and Portuguese one day very soon. I will become fluent in the other 4 - Life goals right here!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Most mornings, you'll find me sipping on a mug of decaf BulletProof Coffee after listening to East Forest's guided meditation "Sing Me Awake".
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I LOVE, LOVE kimchi and chocolate 😋 (but not at the same time, because ewww!).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I hate cheese fiercely, and with the passion of at least a million fiery burning suns!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I went through a phase of putting food in my hair 🫣 - I'm talking avocado, bananas and eggs as a natural conditioner. Never again!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I started reading when I was 2 years old, and the first book I read all by myself was Mr. Percival Pig.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That's enough about me!

We don’t get many perks with an underactive thyroid… but these?
They almost make up for it.
Almost. 😂

I used to think healing would be a linear progression.
One diagnosis. One protocol. One-and-done.

But really, it's never just one thing you have to do to get your energy back, or reverse your symptoms.

It can be the little things you do.
Like drinking water when you wake up, before you reach for your coffee
Eating to nourish your body, your soul, and honour your cravings
Moving however your body allows you
Facing the sun to feel the light on your face
Having fun. Laughing
Saying "no" without guilt
Saying yes to things that light you up
Honouring your body's need for rest rather than watching just one more episode on your device.

Sometimes, chronic illness like Hashimoto's isn’t about fixing your body.
It’s about listening to it.

Healing from something like Hashimoto’s means:

- Noticing your own energy levels
- Spotting patterns before symptoms spiral
- Adjusting before you burn out
- Honouring and respecting your limits without making them your identity.
- Building routines that honour what you need, and not just what the wellness world preaches.

And some days, that means pushing or challenging yourself a little
Other days, it means pulling back, being kind to yourself and giving yourself a break.

Not because you’re weak.
But because you’re wise enough to keep tuning in.

And it’s hard.
Because you’ve been conditioned to push through, override, to dismiss, to wait for your body to “cooperate.”

But your body doesn't hate you, nor is it broken, or failed you.
It’s communicating the best way it knows how.

The women I work with learn to interpret those signals, so they can stop chasing quick fixes and finally feel steady, and confident in how they feel and in a plan, which adapts with them.

📌 Save this for those days when you’re done pushing.

Did you know fluoride was once used to suppress thyroid function? 😳

If you have an underactive thyroid, fluoride and bromide compete with iodine, making it harder for your body to produce thyroid hormones.

🚫 Where is fluoride hiding? Tap water & toothpaste.

The good news? Small swaps can make a difference!
 ✅ Choose a fluoride-free, gluten-free toothpaste ✅ Filter your tap water ✅ Be mindful of older furniture & imported goods

Here are my top fluoride-free toothpastes

- Auromere toothpaste – Made with clay and minerals, no fluoride, no nasties.
- RiseWell toothpaste (this is my favourite) – it uses hydroxyapatite, which is great for strengthening teeth naturally, especially when you’re avoiding fluoride.
- Dr. Bronner’s All-One Toothpaste – Clean ingredients, no fluoride, and lots of options that taste great.
- Boka, and Wellnesse Toothpastes – are 2 other hydroxyapatite-based toothpastes that are fantastic fluoride alternatives.

Be sure to save this post so you can check your toothpaste later! 💙

It’s back to school, which usually means back to meal prepping and batch cooking for a week at a time 😩

This week, I’m planning on skipping meal prep and focusing on this wonderful “girl dinner” for dinner every night! No prep needed. Clever, eh? 🤓

Think I can get away with this for my little girl, for this week at least? 🤔

She is obsessed with the “very hungry caterpillar”, after all!! 😜

When I first met Sarah, she …

💧Was waking up exhausted and ready to curl up and sleep by 5pm every evening as she felt so drained ALL the time
💧Had no energy to do anything with her son and wished he would leave her alone and go to bed early so she could crash
💧Relied on the strongest and sweetest coffee she could stomach to keep her awake so she could work, otherwise she had a hard time keeping her eyes open
💧Had cupboards full of “energy” supplements she’d bought online, but made zero difference to her energy levels

Needless to say she was not only exhausted but fed up with feeling so tired all the time not being able to just get on with her life!

Together we worked on her blood sugar, sleep routine and food sensitivities to achieve so much energy to last the day that I had to ‘encourage’ and guide her to go to bed earlier than her new 11pm bedtime!

Let me break down what we did:

STEP 1 - Supporting her blood sugar allowed her body to maintain a steady blood sugar which helped raise and maintain her energy levels in a natural way so she’d energy all day long.

STEP 2 - Created a simple sleep routine that she could stick to. When your brain and body are well rested, your body gets enough time to recharge, and repair which results in you having MORE ENERGY the next day to do what you need to do.

STEP 3 - Helped her identify foods she was sensitive to. Eating foods your body can’t handle can cause your gut to stop absorbing nutrients properly. This means you’ll have fewer nutrients being absorbed leading to your body running on fumes and causing fatigue.

She learnt exactly how to get her energy levels up and sustain it effortlessly.

And I’m going to show you this too inside my free Energy “Amplifier” Masterclass happening on the 7th of October at 11am.

It’s not too late to join!
