PHF Nutrition Consultancy

I’ve been working with this amazing lady this year…

And this week, she hit a pretty impressive milestone.

She’s now lost 2 stone…

But the most important thing?

She’s keeping it off.

Read the above again!

The funny thing is here, she’ll probably read this and tell me things could have gone better 🤣

Because she is incredibly hard on herself.

But from where I’m sitting as a coach, she’s doing an amazing job.

Has it been perfect?

Absolutely not.

She’s got a stressful job, family commitments, and all the usual curveballs that real life throws at you.

Life is never perfect.

And you can’t just put real people on a stupidly restrictive diet and expect them to get results.

Real fat loss just doesn’t happen that way.

There’s been no magic diet here either.

But there has been an amazing amount of honesty, amazing support, and plenty of empathy along with a strong amount of coaching.

That’s why our clients get results here.

Because we don’t lie to them and expect unrealistic things from them.

And in return, our clients do the same and replicate that back to us.

We create incredible coaching relationships that we are able to grow through keeping our numbers capped.

I’m actually able to REALLY deliver that personal experience that we talk about here at PHF.

You’d be amazed if you actually knew the amount of clients we cap numbers at.

And it works every time.

That’s why we are the exclusive consultancy we are.

The result?

This lady is now 2 stone down.

And there’s more to come…

I’ll make sure of it.

If you’re looking for your last push this year at nailing down your fat loss and actually sustaining the result after all the hard work.

Drop me a message and let’s talk.

Because PHF is where people come when they want expert, evidence-based coaching with their weight, nutrition and their health.

Speak soon? 🙂

Eggs, spinach, and nori sounds impressive.

But what does the science actually say?

Let’s take a look…

There is some truth here.

Iodine is essential for making thyroid hormones.

Tyrosine is also an amino acid used in thyroid hormone production.

Eggs and seaweed can contribute iodine, while protein-containing foods provide tyrosine.

But this is where the claim gets exaggerated…

Eating more iodine and tyrosine does not automatically make your thyroid work better.

If you already consume enough of these nutrients, adding more has not been shown to “boost” thyroid function or meaningfully increase metabolic rate.

Your thyroid isn’t a petrol tank…

You can’t simply add more “thyroid nutrients” and expect more thyroid hormone.

Thyroid hormone production is tightly regulated by the body.

Correcting deficiencies matters…

Eating extra once requirements are met is a different story.

And more iodine is not always better.

Both too little and too much iodine can interfere with normal thyroid function.

What about metabolism?

Thyroid hormones absolutely influence metabolic rate…

But that does not mean a specific breakfast can “switch on” or optimise your metabolism if your thyroid is already functioning normally.

There’s no evidence that eggs, spinach, and nori has a unique metabolism-boosting effect.

So is it good for breakfast?

Absolutely.

Eggs provide protein and several micronutrients.

Spinach contributes fibre, folate and other nutrients.

Nori can contribute iodine.

Nutritious meal? Yes.

Special thyroid hack? No.

The better message is this…

Your thyroid needs adequate nutrition.

It doesn’t need a “thyroid-supporting” breakfast”

Focus on an overall varied diet that provides enough iodine, protein, and other essential nutrients rather than trying to hack one hormone pathway with one meal…

And if you actually have a thyroid condition…

Don’t start high-dose iodine, kelp or seaweed supplements to “support” your thyroid without speaking to your GP or endocrinologist.

Excessive iodine can worsen some thyroid conditions.

Healthy food doesn’t need fake superpowers.

Eat eggs, spinach, nori because you enjoy them and because they provide useful nutrition…

Not because Instagram told you they’ll “fix” your thyroid or metabolism.
