Take Charge Of Your Thyroid Health

Let me guess… You have been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and sent on your merry way with a prescription for a little pill to take until the end of your days…

The Underactive Thyroid Conundrum

Your symptoms are still the same regardless of the medication. You feel tired, bloated, have put on weight, and generally feel like a shell of your former self? You’ve been told nothing can be done, your thyroid is not functioning as it should be, so you need to take the drug and get on with your life. What if I told you this was simply not true and you can heal your thyroid through diet.

One in twenty people in the UK have a thyroid problem and there are many more who have symptoms but have not been diagnosed. You’d think a problem on this scale would be treated more seriously by the primary care but sadly that is not the case. Medication taken for life when symptoms are still roaring is definitely not the answer you are looking for.  You may have arrived on this page searching for a “hypothyroidism diet”, but it is more complex than that…

There is a clear link

between thyroid and…

Hashimoto’s Disease (Thyroiditis)

The symptoms are many… Fatigue, increased sensitivity to cold, constipation, pale, dry skin, a puffy face, brittle nails, hair loss, enlargement of the tongue, unexplained weight gain, muscle aches, tenderness and stiffness, joint pain and stiffness, muscle weakness, excessive or prolonged menstrual bleeding, depression, memory lapses, “brain fog”…

Most cases of underactive thyroid (insufficient production of thyroxine) are caused by an autoimmune condition called Hashimoto’s Disease (Thyroiditis). It makes our immune system attack our own thyroid tissue, and over the years destroys it, causing a lowered production of thyroid hormones. The common answer to that is to replace the missing hormones with a synthetic equivalent. Clearly, that is not enough.

The symptoms, the root causes, the heightened chance of developing another autoimmune condition (diabetes, MS, etc), the frustration and sense of hopelessness are all still here.

Functional medicine and personalised nutrition approach offer a different take on autoimmunity. Instead of focusing on the attempts to mask the symptoms it searches for and addresses the underlying mechanisms that caused it in the first place. It is, therefore, possible not only to minimise the symptoms but it some cases reverse the condition entirely. This holistic approach doesn’t just focus on the thyroid as an isolated organ that needs fixing but our body as a whole, with various pathways that could have let to this imbalance.

Some of the main possible causes of Hashimoto’s include gut imbalances including increased gut permeability, dysbiosis, microbiome imbalances, stress (both psychological and physical), underlying systemic inflammation caused by allergies and food sensitivities, toxins exposure and impaired detoxification pathways.

How could we possibly

begin to feel better

without addressing the above?

I am personally the best example of the above. Diagnosed at 27 with raised thyroid antibodies, and TSH. I am and have been symptom-free since 2015 and my Hashimoto’s disease is in full remission. This is one of the reasons I decided to study nutrition and become a thyroid specialist, helping women like you achieve similar results. The fact is that you can…

Say goodbye to bloating and gas and finally have a flat tummy

Get rid of the “brain fog”, improve focus and ability to think clearly

Lift your mood and reduce anxiety

Lower your thyroid antibodies

Reduce your medication, or stop taking it entirely

Improve your blood markers (i.e. cholesterol, sugar)

Find your ideal weight and maintain it

"The Thyroid Reboot Programme exceeded my expectations. Aggie's knowledge of Thyroid/Hashimoto's is exceptional, coupled with her knowledge on all aspects of health & nutrition. She answers all questions in a very informative manner and goes out of her way to ensure you get the support required to improve your health. She is also a very fun & happy person, which is a great motivator. Thank you, Aggie, the programme has been amazing and will be my 'lifestyle' going forward. Your website is very informative also, so a great tool to keep up to date."

"I have been working with Aggie on a 121 basis since March. A month in, and I am feeling absolutely fantastic. I am so glad I started this journey to healing my body with Aggie's guidance and support. I have active Graves' Disease which takes a heavy toll on my body, despite being on medication for over 2 years. Before starting with Aggie, I was feeling restless, constantly disrupted sleep, generally achy and in physical and emotional distress. Overall, I felt like my own body couldn't keep me upright any longer. A week into my treatment plan, I had more energy than ever, my moods stabilized and I'm in a much better mental state. I feel like I'm finally back in control and in the driver's seat again. I can't thank Aggie enough and look forward to being my old self again. For anyone hesitant or sceptical - do give any of her plans a try, you owe it to yourself to take back control of your life. Aggie is a safe pair of hands with so much knowledge of Thyroid conditions from her own personal experiences and through her experiences with her clients. I can't thank Aggie enough for the huge difference this has made to my life."

Audrey S

"Aggie has been a really tremendous help. As others have mentioned, she takes a holistic and personalized approach in her programs. The focus is on manageable ways to make real changes, solidify habits, and build foundations to improve how we think about food, what we know about food, and how we feel about food. Small changes have made a big impact but - beyond just information - the way she leads changes in mindset make her nutritional programs (group and one-to-one) very effective. Her recipes and recommendations are great, but there is so much value in her coaching and guidance. While there is of course so much information online, she stands out as a trusted expert who is a great reminder than Instagram probably cannot replace real wellness expertise!"

Tatiana R

"Ok, let’s talk about easy to follow and effective changes!! I cannot thank Aggie more for her guidance and help! My health did a 180 after only 3 months so I can't wait to see the long term results. Aggie completely focused the program to suit my own needs and goals, accomplishing even more than the results I was aiming for. My Thyroid and most of my ADHD symptoms are now completely under control. The best part? The changes are manageable and it does not feel like I’m following a “diet”, which was my main concern! Aggie guided and supported me completely and I’m so happy to see results that are stable and I can maintain."

Anna F

"I honestly feel better than I have in years, we’re getting loads done in the house, all things that have been put off for such a long time because whenever I was at home to do anything I just never had the energy. I don’t have any symptoms at all, which before doing your programme were taking over my life and impacting every single day. I can’t believe the difference. Thank you very much for all of your help."

Roua A

"This programme has been an amazing short journey that has helped me set long term commitments and goals. Thank you, Aggie for all the support, advice, and wisdom! I will always refer back to your guide!"

Anna S

"The Thyroid Reboot programme is excellent. I have found that I feel so much better and hardly have any symptoms at all. I have also lost a lot of weight without even trying to lose weight."

Laura W

"The first weeks of elimination in the Reboot programme were illuminating! I have always been sensitive to onions and garlic. Gluten-free living is great. Whether it is the protein these three have in common or a placebo effect - no matter, I feel better. The recipes were also essential to this non-cooker. I found things that worked for me in addition to the supplements. Your suggestions on how to talk to the medical professionals is also valuable. I would like to lower my medical dosage and with these changes to diet, I feel positive about the response. Mindful eating for one meal a day was new and much appreciated."

Karen W

"Get Thyroid Reboot booked now it’s a life changer! I wish I had found Aggie sooner. I spent four years battling with my thyroid feeling lousy and after asking the doctor if diet would help and being fobbed off, feel so frustrated that I could have felt better sooner. All of the recipes were a great help and all the information Aggie provided. I have lost 9lbs, but more importantly feel so much better."

Petra H

"Aggie has definitely been a massive help for me. I've learnt a lot from her and found that any questions or worries I had she was able to answer. It wasn't the easiest journey with all the food restrictions at first, but definitely worth it!"

Wendy Y

"Go for it! Aggie is fantastic! I was lost, but she steered me in the right direction and now I know I will always make healthy choices."

Roua A (2)

"After the Thyroid Reboot Programme, I now feel more empowered with knowledge regarding Hashimoto’s and some of my symptoms are getting better. I am aware of what I should eat and drink to help optimise my thyroid function. Other forms of healing including breath work exercises, recommended fitness classes and exercises as well as suggested daily self-care routines really made this programme worth joining! If you join, you will NOT regret it! If you are serious about managing your condition, then I highly recommend working with Aggie!"

Karen F

"I truly can’t thank Aggie enough, I am so grateful to have found her informative, educational & inspiring posts on Instagram.
Aggie’s own personal healing journey from Hypothyroid & Hashimoto’s makes her an excellent advocate to help others like myself start healing too. Conventional medicine does help but knowledge is power when it comes to a tried & tested protocol, the best foods & supplements to take as well. I have listened & most importantly gained new knowledge from a number of resources provide by Aggie, namely live educational calls & Instagram postings.
Currently, I am on week 2 of Aggie’s 6 week ‘reboot’ programme. I feel very well supported with the comprehensive protocol providing, along with recipes, recommended supplements, weekly calls & access to resources 24x7. I would highly recommend this programme.
I have also benefited from an invaluable 121 session, where Aggie helped interpret blood test results, discuss my own symptoms, and then supported me with a personalised plan of action. Thanks to Aggie I am now getting the specialist support required to heal my Hashimoto’s & Hypothyroid symptoms.

Many thanks indeed Aggie, without you my health challenges would have remained & my quality of life pretty restricted."

Tamsin W

"I thought I had a reasonably good understanding of diet but following my 1 hour appointment with Aggie, where we discussed the health questionnaire I'd sent her alongside my 3 day food diary, I can really see where I can make easy changes that will have a big impact on my day to day life and long term health. I left the appointment feeling empowered and just 3 days later I already have more energy which is a direct result of her advice."

Ieva L

"I highly recommend Aggie for your nutrition questions/issues. I love her holistic approach to you as a human being. After the very first meeting, I already have a clear plan in terms of my nutrition and how I can use supplements to help my body and mind. She also suggested some recipes to spice up my boring weekly menu."

Agnes S

"I would just like to thank you, Aggie, for one of the most informative and genuine introduction sessions to nutrition I could hope to have. I received guidance, steps and an action plan which could get me a bit closer to the healthy lifestyle I am looking for now. Truly impressed and I will recommend to anyone who is looking to eat mindfully."

Anna J

"I was referred to Aggie by my friend as I struggled with dieting, weight loss and digestive problems. I have to agree - Aggie is amazing. I am extremely happy with the results of our work. Definitely, the most professional nutritionist I have ever worked with. Her work ethic and her up-to-date knowledge are outstanding. She patiently explained all of the changes I should apply and how it will affect my body, taking into consideration all of my preferences. I have received very accurate nutrition tips and have been recommended top vegan supplements. She also sent me a GP referral letter for a blood test, which helped us understand my problem's nature. I feel so much better (and happier) now. On top of everything, she is just simply super friendly and easy to talk to. After the first consultation, I am definitely going to sign up for one of Aggie's coaching programmes to support me with my health journey."

Kat B

"I couldn't recommend Aggie enough! She has a great, holistic approach towards nutrition and helps you understand how to create a balanced (and delicious) diet maintaining a healthy relationship with food. I really enjoy implementing the tips from our appointment to my everyday life adding colour and taste to my plate. If you're looking for someone who can listen to your needs, Aggie is the best person!"

Marcus E

"My session with Aggie was fantastic! She really took the time to analyse my diet and lifestyle, and gave me a thorough understanding of what I could realistically change and achieve. I'd totally recommend her to anyone!"

Bianca B

"I reached out to Aggie due to constant issues with bloating and my skin breaking out. The reason I was most interested in her support was because of the holistic approach that she uses. She understands that everything in the body is linked and provided solutions that fit my dietary requirements. I saw an improvement in those areas thanks to Aggie and because of this, sought her help again when I discovered that I have low blood pressure. Again, she provided multiple options to help improve. Huge thanks to Aggie for all of her help!"

Ana S

"I had a great consultation with Aggie who really made me understand how to improve my bad eating habits as well as how food influences mental health. I definitely would recommend her coaching for everyone who is looking to live better. I am already implementing changes that she suggested starting with getting the right medical tests which I would have ever considered if it wasn’t for her. I can’t wait to see results in my performance and become a healthier athlete who enjoys the food rather than restricts majority of it."

Mirona K.

"Dont wait too long if you need help! Aggie is the right person to give you all information which you need! My session with her gave me so much information which already helped improve my health in one week! Just be honest, who has the time to do long research into what is needed exactly for us??? This is an impossible mission... Aggie is very professional and passionate! And very specific! Really worth it to spend time with her to know what I can do for myself to feel and look better!"

Andrew K

"I visited Aggie with problems in my mood and energy levels related to my diet. She was very helpful and responsive by talking though with me regarding how I can deal with my issues through a meal plan which would work with my personal preferences. I really like her approach to food and how she taught me that eating healthy can also be enjoyable. She was able to help me with my lack of energy and I would recommend Aggie to anybody struggling with food and nutrition."

Angus S

"Before Aggie, I was putting myself through an extremely strict diet that I thought was super healthy. While my lunches were quite varied, all I ate for dinner was an extremely boring salad with little to no nutritional value. I was losing my belly, but I was also more susceptible to illness, my energy levels were low and I had difficulty maintaining concentration. Aggie taught me how I can eat more freely and introduced me to a world of new foods and fun recipes! I'm having so much fun in the kitchen and my energy levels are back on track. Thanks Aggie!"

Kate L

"To manage my autoimmune condition I tried every diet I could think of. Gluten-free, paleo, etc. I was increasingly worried about restricting too much, obsessing about different food groups and potentially missing out on important nutrients. I felt so lost! I thought Aggie would be a good person to speak to, as her background seemed similar to mine. It was the best decision I could have made! After a few weeks, I started looking at what and how I eat in a completely different way. I am feeling more comfortable trying the ‘forbidden’ foods, and my general sense of wellbeing has dramatically increased. I would definitely recommend Aggie to anyone struggling with food and nutrition, especially if you suffer from an autoimmune issue."

Anna K

"Aggie has helped me tremendously in my journey to a better relationship with food. I completed her 12-week programme and have found her extremely supportive and encouraging throughout. She was very responsive and answered all the questions I had. She also held me accountable for all the goals we set which helped immensely. My binging episodes have stopped, and I am so much more confident and happier in my body. I feel like a new person!"
