Do this 20 minute grounding breath work practice
Spend time in nature
Connecting with a friend
Laughing your A-- off
Feet on the earth, barefoot
Serve your community

Need another reason to love probiotics?
A recent review found that probiotics support liver health—even in individuals with advanced liver disease (cirrhosis). The analysis of 30 studies concluded that probiotics (compared to controls) not only improved the gut microflora but also improved liver function and enhanced quality of life in people with cirrhosis.
Although this review looked at participants with cirrhosis, other studies have found probiotics to offer benefits for liver health in people without such advanced disease. This is an excellent reminder that your microbiome has far-reaching effects on the body that begin in the gut and the liver!

💡Pro Health Tip |

I often get questions about the perfect diet for __(you fill in the blank)__.
So I thought today that I’d address this question in relation to the thyroid.
First, foods that may harm thyroid function are the same ones that otherwise promote inflammation, disrupt blood sugar balance, or create stress in the body:
✖️ Hydrogenated and trans fats
✖️ Sugary or highly refined foods
✖️ Seafood high in environmental toxins (like PCBs)
Depending on the person, sensitivities to gluten or other specific foods may also trigger immune responses and inflammation that damage the thyroid.
On the other hand, foods that support thyroid function either deliver essential nutrients or combat oxidative stress and inflammation:
✔️ Omega-3 essential fatty acids
✔️ Meats, nuts, and seeds high in trace minerals
✔️ Plant foods for antioxidant phytonutrients
Plus—studies have shown that the Mediterranean diet may specifically benefit thyroid function.
This is a big topic and must be individualized to the person!
Of course, an important reminder there is no perfect diet. Food is information for our physiology. What information are your food choices telling you?

To optimize thyroid function, we also need to optimize the liver and the gut. Here’s why:
Thyroid hormones influence gut motility (causing constipation when underactive). And also 🔁gut dysbiosis or inflammation can worsen oxidative stress that damages the thyroid.
Thyroid hormones influence fat metabolism in the liver (contributing to insulin resistance and fatty liver when underactive). And also 🔁conversion of T4 to active T3 takes place in the liver, meaning that a compromised liver could compromise thyroid function.
Poor thyroid function can impair gut and liver function—and the reverse is also true.
