Welcome to Thyroid, Metabolic & Hormonal Healing Welcome to BiochemNordic
I'm Dr. Benedicte Mai Lerche, PhD, a biochemist and author. If you're struggling with fatigue, low energy, a slow metabolism, hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, or poor sleep — or you simply don't feel like yourself — you're in the right place. I know what that feels like because I lived through it myself. In my early twenties, I struggled for years with debilitating symptoms. I was exhausted and foggy, and it felt as though my body had simply stopped working the way it should. I saw doctors and tried all kinds of conventional and alternative treatments, but nothing seemed to work. My health just kept declining.
Everything changed when I was diagnosed with low thyroid function, also known as hypothyroidism, and discovered the work of Dr. Ray Peat.

His research into nutrition, thyroid function, metabolism, and hormonal health helped me move from debilitating exhaustion to real recovery. And it did something more: it redirected the entire course of my life. That experience inspired me to study biochemistry. It also led me to create BiochemNordic and my Healing Metabolism book series. Today, I combine my scientific training, Dr. Peat's research, my own recovery, and many years of experience helping people around the world to offer a clear, practical approach to thyroid, metabolic, and hormonal health.
My goal isn't to give you another restrictive protocol or another list of rules to follow. I want to help you understand your own body. When you understand how cellular energy, nutrition, thyroid function, and hormones interact, you can begin to make informed decisions about your health — instead of feeling lost or overwhelmed by conflicting advice. Through my books, online courses, and private counseling, I'm here to give you the knowledge and practical tools to understand your body, support your metabolism, and improve your thyroid and hormonal health. I'm glad you're here.
