Hello, I'm Benedicte

I'm a biochemist, helping people with symptoms related to thyroid, metabolic, and hormonal imbalances, such as fatigue, low energy, obesity, PMS, PCOS, menopause issues, infertility, digestive problems, sleep problems, inflammation, stress, aging, and much more.

My health philosophy is inspired by the late Dr. Ray Peat, a pioneering researcher in nutrition, thyroid function, and hormonal health, and is further strengthened by my own successful recovery from low thyroid function (hypothyroidism) and hormonal imbalances using his methods. I combine scientific expertise with personal experience to help you achieve a lasting health transformation.

In my early twenties, I struggled with profound symptoms of hypothyroidism. Despite persistent efforts to find effective help, I spent years battling exhausting and disruptive symptoms. That difficult period marked the beginning of a personal journey that ultimately reshaped my life. During my search for answers, I discovered Dr. Ray Peat’s pioneering work on nutrition, hormones, and metabolism. His writings—and the guidance he personally offered—became the turning point in my struggle with hypothyroidism and helped me reclaim my health. Motivated by my own recovery, I pursued a degree in biochemistry and eventually created this website along with my Healing Metabolism book series

My goal is to present Dr. Peat’s research in a way that is both approachable and practical, giving people the information they need to support thyroid function, balance hormones, restore energy, and build long-term metabolic health. My first book, How I Overcame Hypothyroidism, offers a detailed account of my personal journey. It describes the challenges I faced within conventional medicine and the long path of experimentation that ultimately led me to Dr. Peat’s work. The book shares how I applied his principles in my own life and outlines the specific steps that helped me move toward recovery.
