One of the most common questions I’ve been getting lately is simple:
“How do you actually manage it all?”
No thyroid. Medication. High blood pressure. Early mornings.
Training. Teaching. FUN Life.
So instead of overcomplicating it, I’m going to walk you through exactly what my day looks like right now.
Not perfect. Not textbook.
👉 Just real—and what works for me.
🕓 Early Morning: Medication First
My day starts early.
4:00 AM — I take my T3 and T4.
Always on an empty stomach. This is non-negotiable for me. When you don’t have a thyroid, consistency isn’t optional—it’s everything.
From there, I’m getting ready to move.
🏃♀️ 5:00 or 6:00 AM: Classes + Training
Most mornings, I’m either teaching or working out.
If I eat anything beforehand, it’s light and quick—usually around 4:45 AM.
Usually:
- Peeps
- Gummy bears
- Black jellybeans
Simple sugars. Nothing heavy.
👉 Just enough to give me a little energy so I can perform without weighing myself down.
Then it’s straight into movement.
🍳 Post-Workout: Real Fuel
After my morning classes, I come home and eat a full breakfast.
This is where I focus on:
- Protein - Kachava shake or Nurri Drink, or Oatmeal with egg whites
- Fueling my body for the rest of the day
Because here’s the truth:
👉 You can’t run on fumes when your entire system depends on medication and output.
🥗 Midday: Stay Fueled
From there, I keep things consistent:
- Lunch Salad, chicken or tuna yes chips too
- Snacks in between yogurt, apples, banana
I don’t skip meals, and I don’t under-fuel—especially with the amount of activity in my day.
That’s a mistake I’ve made before, and it’s not one I repeat.
🕒 Afternoon: Second T3 Dose
2:00- 3:00 PM — I take my second dose of T3.
Again, consistency matters.
This helps support my energy levels through the rest of the day.
🍽️ Evening: Wind Down + Balance
Dinner is usually around 6:00 PM.
Nothing extreme—just balanced, consistent, and supportive of recovery.
🌙 Night: Blood Pressure Management 9:30
Before bed, I take my blood pressure medication.
This timing has worked best for me and helps keep things steady overnight.
🧠 What I’ve Learned Through All of This
Here’s the biggest takeaway:
👉 There is no autopilot when you’re managing your health at this level.
No thyroid means:
- No backup system
- No natural regulation
Add in blood pressure and training, and now you’re managing multiple variables every single day.
You have to:
- "Be consistent" and when I'm not, I can feel it!
Some days I feel amazing. Some days I'm feeling totally off.
👉 And instead of ignoring that—I work with it and tell myself just keep going or I go for a walk.
💬 Final Thoughts
If you’re navigating something similar, hear this:
You don’t need a perfect routine. This just works best for me.
👉 You need a consistent and keep showing up.
