My Health Philosophy

The modern Western diet—and even many so-called “health diets”—contain foods that suppress thyroid function, slow metabolism, and reduce cellular energy production. In contrast, my dietary recommendations emphasize foods that enhance thyroid function while discouraging those that inhibit metabolic activity. My dietary approach is strongly influenced by the nutritional research of Dr. Ray Peat, often referred to as the "Ray Peat diet". Many of my nutritional recommendations stand in sharp contrast to conventional dietary advice. However, the strong biochemical foundation behind each recommendation appeals to those seeking a deeper, more scientific understanding of how nutrition truly influences health. In my practice, adopting my pro-metabolic dietary principles is always the first step. By implementing my diet, you can profoundly shift your body into a higher-energy state that supports repair, healing, and vibrant well-being.

For some people, following my pro-metabolic diet is enough to significantly increase their metabolic rate and improve overall health. However, for others, additional support—such as thyroid medication may be necessary. My philosophy is that the common practice of relying solely on levothyroxine (T4) to treat hypothyroidism can be inadequate, or even problematic, especially for those who struggle to convert T4 into the active thyroid hormone T3. I advocate a treatment approach that combines T4 and T3 in a ratio of about 3:1, more closely reflecting the natural secretion of the human thyroid gland. While I do not prescribe medication, I often work with individuals who are already on some form of thyroid replacement therapy from their doctor. I can help you better understand your thyroid medication and suggest possible improvements to your treatment plan. For those without a prescription, over-the-counter thyroid replacement options are available in certain countries.

My health recommendations often include supplementation with the body’s natural youth-associated hormones, progesterone and pregnenolone. These hormones are well known for their anti-estrogenic, anti-stress, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging effects. Supplementing with progesterone and pregnenolone supports a variety of health concerns, including hypothyroidism, stress, inflammation, PMS, infertility, and age-related degenerative conditions.

Used wisely, supplements fill nutrient gaps and give your cells the specific raw materials they need to make energy. I focus on the few that consistently make a difference — vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, and the B-vitamins — alongside metabolic superfoods that lower stress hormones and support healthy thyroid and hormone production. The goal is never to replace good food, but to give your body the right tool at the right time, in the right dose.

How you live each day — the light you get, how you sleep, how you move, and the environment around you — directly shapes your thyroid, your hormones, and your daily energy. I teach you to use bright daylight, red and orange light therapy, restorative sleep, and gentle movement so your metabolism stays supported every day, not just when you're trying.
