💔I think my biggest struggle with being HP is to have spent my entire life feeling like I m "too much" : too sensitive, too extreme, too strong, too honest, too intense, too emotionnal, and mostly too hard to love

This week, a friend I genuinely like so much told me something I deeply needed to be reminded of

🙏"You'll never be too much for the people who match your energy"

I guess in the end, it is all about finding your tribe and not spending your life translating your mind and heart ❤️

This is one of my go-to recipes, it is : ⁠
⁠
🥣 quick and easy⁠
⁠
🥣 filling⁠
⁠
🥣 healthy⁠
⁠
🥣soft on digestion⁠
⁠
🥣and gluten-free!⁠
⁠
Hey Peaches, hope you are enjoying your breakfast as much as me!⁠
⁠
Is gluten-free really necessary for hormonal health?⁠
⁠
🦋As you know, I have Hashimoto disease and I fought for so so long before I could finally be balanced and symptom-free. ⁠
⁠
I personally owe it to switching to a gluten-free diet. It has changed everything for me after 10+years of being sick. ⁠
⁠
🙋Does it mean that you should do too?⁠
⁠
I would say: at least try, for 3 months and see if it makes any difference in how you feel. ⁠
⁠
Especially if you have an auto-immune disease.⁠
⁠
An auto-immune disease means that your immune system has decided to attack some of your own body tissues (in my case, the thyroid). ⁠
⁠
🤔How does it happen? The cells composing the lineage of your intestinal wall are too far apart (what is called a leaky gut) and it leaves big molecules like some proteins free to go from the digestive tract to the bloodstream where they don't belong. ⁠
⁠
Some of those proteins like the one in gluten mimic the molecular structure of other organs like the thyroid and your immune system starts attacking those intruders but doesn't make the difference anymore between them and your thyroid, resulting in the destruction of this vital gland.⁠
⁠
This immune reaction is also what can leave you bloated, feeling nauseous, or unable to digest your food. ⁠
⁠
Why does the gut become leaky?⁠
⁠
🛑It can be due to excess production of stress hormones⁠
⁠
🛑or an infection of the intestine. ⁠
⁠
And if you are feeling at your best, it is still a pretty awesome breakfast! 😍⁠
