Welcome back to the Thriving Thyroid Podcast, where we choose to become empowered patients and take our health into our own hands. Hi, I'm Shannon Hansen, a Christian entrepreneur, a mom of three. And after dealing with my own health mysteries, I made it my mission to learn everything I could about the thyroid. I soon became certified as a holistic wellness practitioner, a functional nutrition practitioner, and a functional diagnostic practitioner. And so much more after that, I founded the Revolutionary Thyroid Program, the method. As a health professional and a mom, I fully understand the importance of having a fun, simple, and sustainable plan for achieving a responsive thyroid. So I share actionable and practical strategies for developing a responsive thyroid so that the ambitious moms and women can gain freedom from fatigue and lose the thyroid weight once and for all. Each week, I will be here for you, along with my guest experts. We will be sharing simple and tangible tips that work for not only your thyroid, your hormones, your family, and your mindset, so that you can get back to living the life that you envisioned for yourself. Welcome to the Thriving Thyroid Podcast.
(01:22):
Hello. Hello, you guys. Welcome back to the Thriving Thyroid Podcast with your host Shannon Hansen. And today we're gonna be talking about nutrition and food and the importance of building a strong foundation when it comes to food for our thyroid. Because what I think I failed to understand <laugh> early in the journey and early in the process, was how much food and nutrition was impacting my life and impacting my health. And not just food, but it was like the basics, right? The, the foundational pieces of, of information, not information, the basic lifestyle things that were really impacting my health, right? So for example, sleeping four to eight hours a night, and then waking up the next day to run all of my responsibilities, my duties, I was turning to food for, for comfort. Not really comfort, but for energy, right? And because I don't drink coffee and things like that, and I wasn't drinking soda at the time, either.
(02:42):
I was turning towards sugary processed food and I was running myself ragged, and I was doing the best that I could. I was trying to nourish my body. I was trying to saturate my body with nutrition, but because I wasn't feeling good, it was really hard to have the energy to plan and prepare food and go grocery shopping, and then not just grow grocery shopping, but then to execute everything on top of having a busy, crazy life <laugh> with kids and husbands, and church and community stuff, and family stuff. And I mean, I think all of us can relate to feelings of like, I just don't have time. And so several years ago, I, and if you've followed me from the very beginning, which most people haven't, because my, my early beginning in what I was doing in nutrition, I offered a core not so much a course, a program very similar to the thyroid Fed Hub.
(03:46):
It was just a generalized nutrition planning services. And you guys, there's tons of them out there. Like I'm sure if you spend 10 minutes looking for meal planning services, you could find a million. I can think of like five of them. <Laugh> off the top of my head. Granted, I do this for work, but a lot of 'em are not geared towards thyroid specific, not geared towards hormone specific and not geared towards the family. Okay? I've, some of them that I've looked at, they are geared towards you know, family and convenience, right? Or they're geared towards, you know, empty nesters or two people households, or people who love to just meal prep all the time and eat the same three meals for the week. You know, <laugh> like, and so what I wanted to do was something a little bit different, and that's why I created the Thyroid Fed Hub, is for families and or for basically anyone who is struggling with hormonal things, who is struggling to figure out what to eat, when to eat it, and how to put together a kitchen that they are comfortable and happy and excited to be in.
(05:13):
Because one, food is central, right? Like, we cannot get away from food. We have to eat to live <laugh>. Many thyroid people are skipping meals, and this is exasperating the issue. And so what I wanted to do is give you a foundation, give you framework to help support your body and your hormones, and specifically your thyroid, right? Because we're all, we're all about the thyroid here in a way that is sustainable for your family. Because again, what works for me and my family may not work for you and your family. I have a four kids, it's me and my husband. I host a lot of kids at my house, <laugh>. You guys often hear probably kids in the background of my podcast and or in my Facebook lives or social media or whatever, like, my kids are always there because they're such a foundational part of who I am as a person, and I want to model what is appropriate for them to do for their body.
(06:23):
And so, again, I buy a surplus of fruits and veggies and I, I don't just cross my fingers and hope that we get everything eaten before it goes bad. Oftentimes what happens is I buy what I think is gonna be appro an appropriate amount for the week, and then halfway through the week, I have to go get more fruits and veggies because my kids, I've eaten them all. <Laugh>, you know or there's like extra kids at my house and they have eaten that stuff and it's great, it's fantastic. I wouldn't have it any, any other way in all honesty, because I think that this next generation is like, they're just so valuable, right? They're so valuable. And now that I know better, I can do better. So let me give you some tips for if you have a big family <laugh>. And I feel like this is perfect timing for me as well, because one, it's summertime and two, we are getting ready or we just finished hosting a family of five at our house.
(07:32):
So for four days I had 11 people in my home that I was preparing meals for and you know, lunch, breakfast, lunch, dinner kind of thing. Obviously we did go out to eat, but for four days we don't wanna just eat out <laugh>, we don't wanna just eat out. So my grocery shopping trip probably looked very different. I went to Costco, I spent about $400 that has lasted us that entire time and a few days extra, right? And two of the big things that I did is, number one, I prepared like a breakfast casserole. I did potatoes cuz potatoes are super cheap. They're really filling, they're also really high in potassium. And potassium helps with cellular sensitivity. I have not done an H T M A with client levels in a normal range for potassium. Okay? so anyways, we don't have to go into all of that, but I, I, myself obviously have thyroid imbalances.
(08:39):
And then I have another daughter who when we've done some testing on her, it shows that her thyroid falls into slightly underactive, okay? So I wanna be making sure that my kids are getting potassium rich foods. So I did potatoes, we did some really clean sausage, and then I did eggs on top and baked it in the oven. My kids and everybody has ate on that for several days in the morning. I did some, you know, obviously pancakes and eggs just some other breakfast type things. But when we did pancakes, we had fresh fruit to put on top. We had all of the yummy fixings. And we were also making sure that we were balancing everything out with protein, right? And healthy fats to keep these kids not only full, but also their brain nourished because, and some of the adults <laugh> that attended are there also have a, a d d, adhd.
(09:38):
So knowing that the foods that I prepared would help with cognitive function, help with hyperactivity, help with the cellular sensitivity and hormone balancing for everybody as a whole. And so then lunches, I just did super, super easy. What I did is every day, no matter what we did, and this also helped with snacking for the kids, I made a fruit tray, a veggie tray the, I made like a fruit dip that was made with Greek yogurt for the kids. So if they wanted to dip it in something, they had a little bit of extra protein in there. And then on the veggie tray did something really similar. We used a dairy free ranch dressing for the kids. And honestly like, they would kind of cycle through the kitchen and, and snack on it as needed. And that is something that I've been doing for a long time.
(10:40):
I got away from that for a period of time and, and we're getting back to it now cuz I was like, man, I am blowing through these. Like, so Costco has some like really clean granola bars, like the made good little ball things and just a few other really clean snacks. Well, those things are expensive. Y'all like, they're so expensive, but they're nice to have around. So when, and every kid that comes to my house, they all know where like the snack bin is. And I tell them, you are welcome to go get food. Because now most of the kids, I know their family situation, I know that they have plenty of food and you know, whatever, but you never know. And so I've always wanted to be the person that can make sure that these kids are getting what they need.
(11:34):
And I'm like, ma'am, I'm spending a ton of money on snacks. And so I started re-implementing these fruit and veggie snacks for my kids and for everybody else. And I am saving money with my groceries doing that. And at a time where groceries are continually going up, I just, and groceries are going up. So I feel really good about that because it's much cheaper than those pre-packaged snacks and they're all, it's also more nutrient dense for the kids. They can find hopefully something that they like between the two plates. Even if they're eating all fruit, I'm, I'm all for that for these kiddos. Versus I have other clients who are empty nesters where it's like maybe just them, like they're just cooking for them and or like them and a spouse. And so their grocery budget, their, the way that they attack food is gonna be very different.
(12:38):
If both of 'em are working all day, they're not necessarily gonna work for, want to work 40 hours a week and come home and spend an hour in the kitchen cooking and preparing food in the evening. Like, it's just too much. And then what do they do for breakfast? What do they do for lunch when they're running out the door for breakfast and for lunchtime they are like like eating at work, right? So their approach has to be very different. And so I encourage them to do things very similarly, obviously in a different way because they're adults. So when I work with those clients, I'm talking to them about what do you like to eat for breakfast? What do you enjoy? What is easy? What is fun? What is something sustainable for you? Some of them it's like making hard boiled eggs in the beginning of the week and then pairing it with, you know, other things.
(13:34):
So they get their protein. Some of them it is protein shake. Some of them it is a breakfast casserole where it's already pre-made or like a frittata or something like that cuz they have a little, a little bit more sophisticated taste or they can add in some veggies and get some fiber in there and, and things like that. And then we rotate through different options with that so that they're getting a wide variety of food, right? Because we as adults and kids as well we need a variety of foods and we need to be eating foods that are within season. We'll have to do a whole other podcast about food eating seasonally. But you know, and so in, in the thyroid Fed Hub, that's one of the things that we talk about. Like we talk about eating foods within the season, what is in season?
(14:28):
The recipes that we choose to put in there are also seasonally, we try to do some research, but we also listen to our clients. What do you need more of? Do you need more breakfast? Do you need more lunch ideas? Do you need more dinner ideas? So that you guys can feel confident in your food choices. Okay? So that's breakfast if you kind of fall into if you're working right, we have to also talk about what access to appliances, <laugh>. Do you have, like I have some, I have one lady that I'm working with who is a, a mail lady and she delivers mail. So she's in a car <laugh> or in a, in a, I guess a car, a vehicle delivering mail. So what she has access to is gonna be very different than someone who has a fully stocked break room where they have kitchen, microwave, you know, all all the things, right?
(15:30):
Air fryers and coffee pots and stuff. And so we have to also look at that. We also have to look at what is sustainable for you. So I have one client who she ki she jokes about this and I'm like, she kind of like makes fun of herself and I'm like, no, but this is a very real thing. And so what she does is she likes to pack quote unquote kid Lunchables, right? She's like, I just love eating that way. And so we talk about what to, what to put in those, what to put it in those so that she is getting the variety of foods that she wants, the textures that she needs, and also the nutrition that she needs. We talk about a lot of other different things to make it more of a complete meal so that she is having fun, it is sustainable for her, but she's also, like I said, getting the, the variety of nutrients that she needs for her body.
(16:34):
And so the thyroid Fed Hub is ever-evolving. You guys, I'm listening to every single person in that, in that area to say, okay, what are, what are those missing gaps in order to help you with your thyroid function, with helping you personalize and customize everything and get everything that you need so that you feel comfortable and confident in your decisions. And so we have run it for I think two months now. I started at a super, super low price of $8 a month. You guys, which is <laugh>, ridiculous <laugh> to be honest. But I wanted to get in there and figure out what we were, what people were saying, what their experiences was. We have over 30 people who have already joined us. I think we're actually closer to probably 40 now, but as of June 1st I'm increasing the price to $20 a month still.
(17:31):
That is less than a dollar a day. Because I want you guys to feel and figure out the system that works best for you. I dive in depth on the system that I use. So I'll give you an example. I create my meal plan and my meal, my grocery list and everything for a week. And then because I've done the work one time, I save that and I put it in a binder. And so when I don't have time in a week or two or a couple weeks or a month or next year, whenever it is, I can go back to all of the meal plans with the recipes that I've created and put together for my family. And I can say, oh yeah, this was a really good week, everybody loved that. All these things are within season and I can take my grocery list and go to the grocery store, print it off, whatever, go to the grocery store and or even what I've been doing lately, <laugh> is going online and just ordering all the food and either doing grocery pickup or having it delivered to my home because of time, right?
(18:42):
So one of our clients inside the thyroid Fed Hub Cindy, her name is Cindy, she says she slashed her bill from $200 a week for her family to $150 a week. And it has also helped eliminate the stress in figuring out what foods to make to support my thyroid function. And she finally has food freedom and confidence to make the choices she needs to nourish her body. So in addition to that, you guys not only are gonna get access to done for meal plans in there we have a variety different ones. The ones that we added for the month of May cuz we are in May <laugh> for the month of May, is a six week summer slum down program. There are three different meal plans. I always tell everybody to go through it twice because once you do that you can also catch any food sensitivities, any reactions that you're having, so on and so forth.
(19:39):
So there's some additional training in there for that. Then there's other ones that are like an anti-inflammatory or whatever. So there are some instructions on where to get started for those. For the meal plans, you can print them out, use them exactly as they are, or you can make modifications to them. We also have a monthly coaching session of monthly q and a where you can come and ask me questions. You don't have to wait for that coaching call every single month. You have access to a Facebook group for support and you can post your question in there, tag me in it and I will of course answer them. It's super easy. And then in addition to that, cuz that's not enough to get monthly recipes, question and answers done for you meal plans things like that. We also have quarterly bonus trainings.
(20:39):
Our next quarterly training, oh man, I don't know if I remember off the top of my head. It is coming up I think next Monday. Let's see, I think it's the fifth. Yeah, we're doing a bonus training on June 5th. And that is all about metabolic typing. So I'm gonna dive in depth on metabolic typing, teaching you more about metabolism what foods work best for specific ty specific types of metabolism and how to support your body with the food and nutrition specifically for your body. How to listen for that, how to understand that, how to make adjustments if you hit those plateaus and you're like, this is so frustrating, right? Because all of that is so, so important for our body and important for us to learn how to listen to our body. So if you are ready to take action, you can head over to this show notes.
(21:44):
There is a link in there for the thyroid Fed hub June 1st. The price is going up from $8 a month to $20 a month. Of course you guys are probably gonna ask, you can cancel at any time that you don't.
