I also love making these before traveling and take them with me to carry on the plane. they're the perfect way to ease unsettling bloating caused by plane travel, and will help to digest any food that your body may not be used to
interesting ginger facts

interesting ginger facts 📝

* ginger contains gingerol, a natural component of ginger root, which benefits gastrointestinal motility - the rate at which food exits the stomach and continues along the digestive process. these digestive actions may serve to cleanse the build-up of waste and toxins in the colon, liver, and other organs
ginger promotes healthy skin when both ingesting, and applying it topically. it contains numerous antioxidant properties that help to fade scars, even out skin tone, improve elasticity, and promote hair growth by increasing circulation

gluten can act as a hidden trigger for those with hashimoto’s and leaky gut.
it may increase intestinal permeability, allowing particles to pass through the gut lining and activate the immune system even more.

removing gluten gives your body a chance to reset; reducing inflammation, supporting digestion, and helping your gut barrier rebuild so true healing can begin 🙏🏼

another possible component to healing from autoimmune disease 🪽

why this combination is so effective in treating hashimotos and potentially other autoimmune conditions 💗

myo-inositol is the precursor of the synthesis of phosphoinositides, which are part of the phosphatidylinositol signal transduction pathway across the plasma membrane, via the second messenger 1,4,5-triphosphate that modulates intracellular Ca2+ release. Therefore myo-inositol acts as a second messenger regulating the activities of several hormones, such as insulin, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)

selenium has an anti-inflammatory impact in thyroid-specific autoimmune disease and has demonstrated possible therapeutic effect in reducing antibodies in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis. it also maximizes glutathione peroxidase activity, being that the concentration of selenium in the thyroid is higher than any other organ in the body it is required to function at its fullest capacity

🦋 living with these symptoms? read on —->>>

if you’re dealing with extreme fatigue, brain fog, hair loss, bloating, anxiety, or cold hands & feet, please check your thyroid levels with a doctor who truly listens. don’t put it off like i did—early detection is everything

💌 thyroid disease affects 10% of women in the u.s., and autoimmune cases are rising fast. after trial and error, these 12 things have helped me manage my hashimoto’s symptoms:

medication: tirosint (clean t4) + liothyronine t3
gut health: l-glutamine, probiotics & digestive enzymes
anti-inflammatory foods: green juices, ginger tea, turmeric & carrot juice
protein intake: essential for metabolism & muscle function
sunlight: 20-30 mins of vitamin d exposure 3x a week
daily movement: light walking, pilates, stretching
key supplements: selenium (200mg) + myo-inositol (800mg)
stress reduction: journaling, bible reading, music, & kitties 🫶🏼
better sleep: crucial for hormones & immune function
diet changes: gluten-free, low sugar, decaf coffee, less alcohol
oral health: biofilm toothpaste + regular dental checkups
trauma healing: emdr & somatic release exercises

healing isn’t linear, but you’re not alone 💛 if this helped, save this post + share your journey 🫶
