What Our Members Say

Members with Hashimoto's frequently report slow progress, worsening antibody levels, and uncertainty about how strict their carnivore approach needs to be, while also navigating overlapping conditions such as menopause, high cortisol, and other autoimmune disorders. Coaches consistently emphasize reducing overall stress on the body, prioritizing fatty cuts of meat, and maintaining consistency over perfection. Community peer support plays a notable role alongside coach guidance, with members sharing personal experiences, practitioner contacts, and practical dietary tips.

  • Coaches consistently recommend reducing physiological stress for members with Hashimoto's, advising against long or rigid fasting windows and suggesting a gentle overnight fast of approximately 12 to 14 hours instead of extended protocols.
  • Fatty cuts of meat are repeatedly highlighted by coaches as foundational for hormonal healing in autoimmune conditions, with specific mentions of pork belly, lamb, 80/20 ground beef, and bacon as practical ways to meet fat intake goals.
  • Coaches advise a progression-based approach to exercise for members with Hashimoto's and high cortisol, recommending short lifting sessions of around 30 minutes twice per week and modest daily step goals to keep stress low while maintaining consistency.
  • When dietary adjustments alone show insufficient antibody improvement, coaches suggest investigating potential inflammatory triggers such as dairy and exploring supplementation, specifically referencing iodine as a nutrient the thyroid requires for proper function.
