What Our Members Say

Members frequently discuss managing thyroid conditions, particularly Hashimoto's, alongside menopause and carnivore or ketogenic diets, often seeking guidance on lab interpretation, medication access, and lifestyle adjustments. A recurring theme is frustration with conventional medical approaches, leading members to explore functional or telehealth doctors, natural desiccated thyroid, and resources like specific books and guest speakers. Coaches consistently emphasize reducing overall stress on the body, supporting thyroid function through diet and gentle movement, and directing members to appropriate medical professionals for personalized care.

  • Coaches consistently recommend minimizing physiological stress for members with Hashimoto's and menopause, suggesting shorter fasting windows of 12–14 hours, lighter exercise sessions of around 30 minutes, and two lifting days per week rather than more intensive regimens.
  • When members report symptoms inconsistent with their conventional lab results, coaches suggest seeking functional, integrative, or telehealth physicians who are more open to alternative thyroid treatments such as natural desiccated thyroid obtained through compounding pharmacies.
  • Coaches point members toward specific educational resources, notably a book by Elizabeth Bright, as a starting point for understanding thyroid health, appropriate blood tests to monitor, and the relationship between fat intake and thyroid function in women.
  • Thyroid lab values such as FT3 on the lower end of the reference range are acknowledged by coaches as a potential contributing factor to stubborn weight loss, with stress and under-eating identified as equally important variables to address alongside lab metrics.
