Staying Hydrated When TTC With Hashimoto's
In this week's episode we are diving into the benefits of staying hydrated when TTC with Hashimoto’s! Our bodies need water in order to function properly, and ensuring you are getting adequate amounts is important. We know that our skin, brain, kidneys, lymphatic and reproductive system all thrive off of water. Water keeps things moving within our body and also allows for our kidneys to flush toxins out! When we stay hydrated, our reproductive system keeps our cervical mucus in optimal condition for sperm too! Sperm can swim through cervical mucus much easier when hydration is above ninety-seven percent!
Even if you aren’t TTC, you still have to stay hydrated. We’ll share our favorite tips on how to know how much water to drink, what actually counts towards your water goal, and how to make drinking water more enjoyable. Being dehydrated can create stress on the body and we want to avoid that at all cost!

Balancing Blood Sugar Through Food Pairing, Fiber, Movement, & More
In this week's episode we are laying out the basics around balancing blood sugar. Blood sugar plays an extremely important role in our bodies ability to function and heal, so we will talk about what blood sugar (glucose) is and the role it shares with our pancreas, liver, adrenals, and thyroid. We will talk about how glucose and insulin have a “lock and key” relationship, and why our cells may have a more difficult time accepting insulin and glucose. We will explain common symptoms of uncontrolled blood sugar, and the mechanisms that occur within your body when we eat and store glucose.
We want to prevent elevated blood sugars and insulin resistance, but know that this can be tricky with hypothyroidism and/or Hashimoto’s. We will discuss how to balance your blood sugar through the following topics:
Food pairing
Movement after eating
Incorporating low glycemic foods
Eating breakfast within 1-2 hours after waking
Eating meals every 3-4 hours
Incorporating FIBER
Sleep hygiene
We will also share some of our favorite supplements that, when used safely and with the guidance of a practitioner, can help regulate your blood sugar. Improving drastic blood sugar swings will allow your body to be able to better repair and process itself.
