That bloating you feel every day? It is not in your head.
And no, you are not the only one Googling “why do I look 6 months pregnant by 3 pm?”
So many women we work with have been brushed off or told it is just stress, or “something you will have to live with,” or that it is all in their head.
Here is what most providers miss:
Your gut and your hormones are deeply connected.
Like besties. When one is off, the other one feels it too.
If your gut is not working well, if you are constantly bloated, backed up, running to the bathroom, or reacting to everything you eat, that can throw off your thyroid, your metabolism, your mood, and more.
And if your hormones are imbalanced, that can slow digestion, trigger inflammation, and keep you stuck in a frustrating loop of fatigue, puffiness, and “I am doing everything right, why is nothing changing?”
You are not broken. Your body is asking for help.
Your gut is not just a digestion tunnel. It is a major player in thyroid health and energy. Here is how it shows up behind the scenes:
Thyroid Hormone Absorption
Your gut helps you absorb thyroid hormones so they can actually reach your cells and do their job.
Nutrient Extraction
Your gut pulls nutrients out of your food. Those nutrients are the raw materials your thyroid needs to function.
Inflammation and Hormone Conversion
If the gut is inflamed or imbalanced, that can disrupt the conversion of T4, which is the inactive thyroid hormone, to T3, the active form your body uses for energy and metabolism.
So when gut health is off, your thyroid feels it.
And you feel it as symptoms that disrupt your whole day.
Here is the chain reaction in plain language:
This is not you being dramatic. It is physiology.
Your thyroid makes hormones that regulate metabolism, energy, body temperature, and more. When your thyroid is struggling, it can throw your gut into chaos, which creates a lovely (not so lovely) symptom cocktail like:
The good news is that when you support both thyroid and gut health together, you can reduce bloating, reclaim energy, and finally feel more like yourself again.
If you are nodding your head as you read this, your thyroid and gut might be waving a white flag. Common signs include:
These are signals, not failures. Your body is talking. We help you translate.
At Chews Food Wisely, we do not throw a generic “gut healthy” handout at you and wish you luck. We look for root causes and build a plan that makes sense for your real life.
Here is how we tackle bloating and thyroid issues together:
Personalized Nutrition Plans
We design a plan that supports your thyroid, gut, and nervous system. No one size fits all meal plan. Just clear, doable steps that fit into your schedule so you actually follow through.
Targeted Supplements
Based on specialty functional lab testing, we identify what your body is missing, then use only the supplements that make sense for your specific needs. No supplement graveyard in your pantry.
Lifestyle Tweaks That Are Actually Realistic
We focus on small but mighty changes that support digestion, metabolism, sleep, and stress. If a recommendation does not work with your full life, we pivot. Because if it is not sustainable, it will not be successful.
We combine your story, your symptoms, and advanced lab testing to get to the “why” behind your discomfort. Then we walk with you as you implement the plan, so you are not trying to figure it out alone.
If digestive issues, stubborn weight, or low energy are running the show, it is time to stop guessing and start getting answers.
We use personalized nutrition, targeted supplements, and functional lab testing to create a plan that calms your gut, supports your thyroid, improves metabolism, and helps you feel like yourself again.
You do not have to live in stretchy pants forever.

Your relief gets to start with one step. Let this be it.
Very possibly. Your gut and thyroid talk to each other all day long. An imbalanced gut can lead to poor nutrient absorption, inflammation, and changes in bowel habits. That can influence how well your thyroid hormones are converted and used in the body. In the other direction, low or imbalanced thyroid function can slow digestion and make bloating and constipation much more likely.
Yes. This is one of the most common stories we hear. Standard labs often look at a very narrow range and may miss early dysfunction, suboptimal patterns, or gut related drivers of symptoms. We use a root cause lens and, when appropriate, functional lab testing to see a fuller picture of your thyroid, gut, inflammation, and nutrient status so your plan is based on what is actually happening in your body.
We pay attention to things like daily bloating, gas, constipation or diarrhea, fatigue, weight changes, dry skin, feeling cold, hair shedding, brain fog, and mood changes. When several of these are showing up together, it often points to a gut thyroid connection that needs support, not just another generic diet handout.
Not usually. Our goal is not to put you on a tiny, stressful list of “safe foods.” We may temporarily adjust certain foods to calm inflammation or identify triggers, but we also work to improve digestion, gut integrity, and nutrient status so your tolerance improves over time. We want you to feel better and have a flexible, enjoyable relationship with food.
First, you apply to work with our team. If it is a good fit, we start with a thorough intake of your health history, symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. When appropriate, we layer in functional testing for gut health, thyroid markers, inflammation, and nutrient status. From there, we create a personalized nutrition, supplement, and lifestyle plan, then support you as you implement it so you are never left guessing what to do next.
Everyone is different, but many clients notice shifts in bloating, bowel habits, and energy within the first few weeks as we start balancing blood sugar, calming inflammation, and supporting digestion. Deeper thyroid and gut healing, along with stable weight and hormone balance, often unfold over several months. Our focus is relief now and lasting change long term.
We work with clients virtually, which means you can receive support from the comfort of your home. As long as you have an internet connection and are willing to show up for yourself, we can walk with you through this process no matter where you live.
You are likely a great fit if you are tired of feeling bloated, exhausted, or dismissed, you are open to making changes with support, and you are ready to look past quick fixes and get to the real root of what is going on. If that sounds like you, the next step is to apply so we can review your case and share the best way to move forward together.
