My head feels clearer than it has in a long time. I have more energy. The bloating and puffiness I had grown so used to carrying across my entire body is visibly reducing. Twelve days. That is it. I want to be honest that I did not make this change casually or randomly. I made it as part of a larger protocol I am building to support my thyroid health, specifically to address autoimmune thyroiditis, a condition where the immune system attacks thyroid tissue. And what I have learned through that research is that gluten plays a far more significant role in how our bodies function than most of us realize, regardless of whether we have a formal celiac disease diagnosis. I am sharing this because I think a lot of people are walking around feeling foggy, puffy, tired, and inflamed, and they have no idea that something as common as bread might be part of the story. https://nicoletorgersen.com/blog-health/stress-is-raising-your-blood-sugar monthly 0.5 2026-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/1781077769431-RY3X8Y1FH01PMCEPRQR0/AdobeStock_2045550712.jpg Blog - Stress Is Raising Your Blood Sugar I spent 25 years in high-pressure technology leadership. Deadlines, performance reviews, reorgs, budget cycles, team conflict, and the relentless pace of companies that never slow down. I wore busy like a badge and called stress the cost of ambition. What I did not know was that the whole time, my body was quietly responding to all of it in a way that had nothing to do with what I was eating — and everything to do with my blood sugar. This connection is at the heart of the health coaching work I do with clients today, and it is something I continue to navigate in my own health. Here is what I want you to understand. https://nicoletorgersen.com/blog-health/antidepressant-affects-on-the-thyroid monthly 0.5 2026-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/1781077000823-ZYKA4XUXQVZHIQTN9CDH/AdobeStock_1143580564.jpg Blog - Antidepressant Affects on The Thyroid - I have been on Zoloft for five years. I was prescribed it for anxiety, took it faithfully, and never once had a conversation with any of my providers about what it might be doing to the rest of my body beyond my brain. Today I went down a research rabbit hole and what I found genuinely stopped me. Here is what sent me there. I have been diagnosed with gradual hearing loss. I have seen an ENT, an audiologist, and had an MRI. And yet I still feel water in my ear even though every specialist has told me there is nothing there. I have been waking up at night and in the morning with numb hands. And I have been gaining weight despite being on HRT for over two years, which should theoretically support weight regulation. Three seemingly unrelated symptoms that no one has been able to fully connect. That combination sent me looking for answers and what I found tied all three of them back to one thing: thyroid dysfunction. https://nicoletorgersen.com/blog-health/wellness-and-longevity monthly 0.5 2026-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/61c3990f-8942-4446-ac08-0c0ddeb94f7a/Foggy-Lake-3-imgg-gi3-y16wehw4.png Blog - Let’s face it, our healthcare system is not 100% supporting our needs. - While we do see some evolution in the system, it’s not moving quickly enough to support our bodies, and minds, as an inter-connected system. Most traditionally-educated practitioners have been trained to learn about one part of our bodies in depth, which is fantastic if we have assurance that our problem really is related to one part of our body. However, the reality is that the human body has 11 major organ systems,and they are dependent on each other. So while treating a common problem such as back pain might seem straightforward, and there are medications that can ease the symptoms - the reality is that back pain can stem from many root causes, some of which include posture, injury, weight, stress, trauma, dehydration, and nutrition. When’s the last time your doctor walked through all of these possibilities with you and helped you understand the dynamics at play? When’s the last time someone worked with you to prevent these problems by helping you learn about your body and draft your “user manual” to sustained wellness? https://nicoletorgersen.com/blog-health/Blog Post Title One-3zaa9-zlxng-xbkmm-ey893 monthly 0.5 2026-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/1780787798967-X9PXWROG7F1P354KL1X7/AdobeStock_1298093702.jpeg Blog - Understanding Your Body on Antidepressants - One of the things I love most about health and wellness work is that the more curious you become about your own body, the more empowered you feel to make changes that genuinely improve how you live. This post is part of an ongoing series where I share what I am learning through my own health journey, including the questions I am asking, the connections I am making, and the changes I am experiencing physically, mentally, and emotionally. My hope is that by sharing openly, I can help you connect some dots in your own health story that might otherwise take years to piece together. Today I want to talk about antidepressants, specifically what I have learned about how SSRIs interact with the body beyond their primary role in mood regulation. I have been on Zoloft for three years and more recently went through a transition to Lexapro before deciding to taper off. Throughout that process I have noticed things in my body that sent me down a research rabbit hole, and what I found was genuinely eye opening. https://nicoletorgersen.com/home daily 1.0 2026-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/1781910134305-13T20GUZQLMG0C07O5PG/unsplash-image-kcRFW-Hje8Y.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/1781910485340-CI56LSXFPK9H9AHVA99T/unsplash-image-5jctAMjz21A.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/1781904931218-MS9RBNW9AELJ7MMGZR29/unsplash-image-XQayhIz6di4.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/1781906341637-SVV144DDGN65BDQWF7DH/unsplash-image-AP7KmJXEVVI.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/1781905158046-1R4C2RNRM4EOGFMR12BI/unsplash-image-zni0zgb3bkQ.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/619e021a-fb79-4a93-bb9b-535a1b815c01/brooke-lark-jUPOXXRNdcA-unsplash.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/de97ce9d-edac-4613-b648-6c5a59362420/IMG_4482+crop.jpeg https://nicoletorgersen.com/about daily 0.75 2026-06-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/137e152a-e4be-4a59-9acd-9c19aba19420/IMG_4482+square+%281%29.jpg https://nicoletorgersen.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-02-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/6fab3036-3106-4f6a-a590-f882c54fb6b1/Portrait3-cropped.png https://nicoletorgersen.com/coaching daily 0.75 2026-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/704c0649-42a4-40f8-926e-fb0aea58580c/Nicole-Masked.png https://nicoletorgersen.com/wellness daily 0.75 2026-04-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/48a45577-c63f-4751-a998-75d21baa627f/IMG_4498.jpg https://nicoletorgersen.com/aboutzz daily 0.75 2026-06-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/ecd2a33c-dd3b-4a58-bf01-427f5281e3ac/IMG_4498.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/ccd241a7-056a-4cd6-b01c-84d3f0e5ea11/60854458c4d1acdf4e1c2f79c4137142d85d78e379bdafbd69bd34c85f5819ad.webp https://nicoletorgersen.com/speaking daily 0.75 2026-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/704c0649-42a4-40f8-926e-fb0aea58580c/Nicole-Masked.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/40cf20e5-fb63-4cd7-a322-f6d7834f982f/Screenshot+2026-02-14+at+9.39.35%E2%80%AFAM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/df8b10a2-1dde-4124-927c-2def2873ad02/Screenshot+2026-02-14+at+9.37.43%E2%80%AFAM.png https://nicoletorgersen.com/workshops daily 0.75 2026-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/704c0649-42a4-40f8-926e-fb0aea58580c/Nicole-Masked.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/2b444ff0-2e7a-4615-ac84-264f4fb7fff3/IMG_2477.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/67bac8e8-41f3-493d-b857-fbb227cc1782/IMG_6616.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/b151886b-e9ae-4c47-90d4-c834a768b2f3/IMG_4917.JPG https://nicoletorgersen.com/home-wb6rd daily 0.75 2026-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/6b401f1b-1648-45ea-ba3b-3e5a6616662e/Portrait-Cropped.png https://nicoletorgersen.com/contact-1 daily 0.75 2026-03-25 https://nicoletorgersen.com/testimonials daily 0.75 2026-05-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/de97ce9d-edac-4613-b648-6c5a59362420/IMG_4482+crop.jpeg https://nicoletorgersen.com/coaching-programs daily 0.75 2026-06-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/1781910485340-CI56LSXFPK9H9AHVA99T/unsplash-image-5jctAMjz21A.jpg Coaching https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6834d36f87d8351f6a0f980a/1781910134305-13T20GUZQLMG0C07O5PG/unsplash-image-kcRFW-Hje8Y.jpg Coaching
