Thyroid Help

Many African American women suffer from thyroid conditions.  I was one of them until I took matters into my own hands and researched ways to heal.  I did a complete diet makeover, learned ways to reduce stress, but most of all I added sea vegetables to my diet.  Sea vegetables such as Kelp, Dulce and Wakame seaweed offer very high nutritional values.  Wakame has over 95 minerals that our body can uses to maximize wellness, it is low in calories and fat and I simply love it!  I use Wakame and kelp to keep my thyroid balanced,(as well as my whole food diet) because they are high in iodine which is an important element for proper thyroid functioning.  Iodine maintains the balance of the thyroid and is needed for the production of thyroid hormones.

I wanted to share this with everyone, because my Doctor told me that if I had to go on thyroid medication I would be on it for life, I decided that it was up to me to take self responsibility to help myself to heal, that was over 10 years ago and I have not had a problem with my thyroid since!  Balance is the key, and when I feel myself (or my thyroid) getting out of balance I know exactly what to do.  Also I avoid soy product, and foods that are goitrogens.  If you would like more information, visit my web site

21 Weeks To a New You

Get ready for my 21 weeks to a new you lessons! Right here on my page. Each week will will cover a spiritual principle for weight loss and overall wellness. Many people are going through the motions of life but their souls are screaming out for help, the time is now for grounding principles that will bring one back to the center.

lesson one: getting ready for the journey. When we take trips to far away destinations, we plan for them. Now, you can be that person who wings it, but preparation brings more peace of mind. This is the same concept as it relates to eating, and planning your meals and your day will ensure that you will not only be prepared, but have healthy snacks to tide you over. Understand this principle, moderation in all things is needed, anything in excess can bring harm. Take the time to reflect on why it may be that you eat so much? Or why is it that you choose comfort foods more than healthy foods? Is there something you are compensating for? Are there unresolved issues in your life? Taking the time to introspect is your first lesson on the spiritual journey. A healthy relationship with food must begin and the strongholds that hold you captive must come down...tune in next week for lesson two...tearing down the strongholds in our mind for wellness and weight loss.
