Have you ever been really thirsty? Maybe you’ve spent the day outside in the hot summer sun. Or, maybe you’ve been drenched in sweat after physical activity. Nobody questions a sign of thirst as a potentially harmful craving or addiction. Thirst is simply a sign from your body that you need more water. And because water is considered “healthy”, you never think twice about it. It’s just a natural response to a physiological need. Well, the truth is that sugar cravings are no different. However, when it comes to sugar and other foods that are often looked upon negatively, it’s easy to blame the ..read more

It’s hard to believe that it’s been over 10 years. But instead of reminiscing about the past, I’ll get right to it. At first, I planned to write about some of the biggest advancements in thyroid diet and thyroid treatment over the past 10 years. It makes sense because that’s why I started this website and the Hypothyroidism Revolution. That’s why I create our comprehensive step-by-step thyroid programs and our advanced thyroid supplements. But then I realized that there’s something bigger and more important that you need you to know. Anyone can follow our programs or use our supplements and im ..read more

Want to know how the fat you eat can help protect your thyroid? Keep in mind that not all fats are created equal. There are harmful thyroid-suppressive fats that we do recommend avoiding. More on that in a minute. Yet, we’re talking about certain types of dietary fats that have a very different effect and can not only help protect your thyroid, but also help you feel like the real you at the same time. These are the fats that can help improve your Thyroid Hormone Pathway. Short-Chain and Medium-Chain vs. Long-Chain Fats Most people understand the difference between protein, carbohydrates, and ..read more

Looking for the best way to test your thyroid? Then you’re in luck. I’ve already covered the many reasons Why (Almost) All Thyroid Tests Are Unreliable and why you CANNOT rely on them to accurately diagnose hypothyroidism or to even monitor your thyroid function. The good news is that there’s a better way and it’s actually quite simple. I’m going to share with you how I work with my clients using the best thyroid test. With the billions of dollars invested each year in medical research and the amazing advancements in medical technology, you would think that the current medical system woul ..read more

It’s sad but true. Your doctor is probably looking at your thyroid tests all wrong. This means that they (and you) are missing vital information that can give you clues and insight into how best to fix your thyroid issues. Working with clients over the years, I’ve seen a lot of thyroid tests. I’ve seen clients with TSH levels above and beyond 100 mIU/L (now that’s a lot of inflammation!). I’ve seen clients with extremely low thyroid hormone levels. I’ve also seen clients with extremely high thyroid hormone levels who were still extremely hypothyroid. Yes, it happens more than you might think ..read more

Do you still believe that goiters and nodules today are caused by iodine deficiency? If so, you’re in for a big surprise. Supplementing iodine can actually make your thyroid condition much, much worse. More on that in a minute. Today, goiters and nodules are most commonly caused by a much bigger and more complicated problem. It’s one of the most common causes of hypothyroidism today and a reason why so many thyroid sufferers are trapped in a perpetual state of hypothyroidism, with no end in sight. It’s something that we talk about a lot here at Forefront Health… and this is yet another way it ..read more

Are you using potentially dangerous methods to clear your constipation? Well, odds are you’re going about it all wrong. Sure, cramming as much fiber down your throat as possible will make you go (eventually). Yet, that’s only because you can’t digest insoluble fiber, so it has nowhere else to go. That’s the way most think about constipation, which is a BIG PROBLEM. They believe it’s just a mechanical process. “What goes in must come out”… right? The earth was once believed to be the center of the universe too, yet we’ve long since moved on from that false belief. Now it’s time to let go of thi ..read more

What if doctors have it all wrong? Well, it wouldn’t be the first time. In the 1800’s doctors recommended cough syrup containing heroin. Is that a chronic cough, or are you just addicted to your cough syrup? In the 1940’s, mental disorders including depression and anxiety were being treated with frontal lobotomies. You don’t really need that part of your brain, do you? Yet, grave medical mistakes like these don’t happen in this day and age… or do they? While it’s hard to compete with a medical mistake like having part of your brain removed, there’s an epidemic medical mistake that’s been overl ..read more
