Your Thyroid: The ReCap

Your body is a factory humming with activity.

Each machine in the factory represents an organ, and every worker is a cell.

The thyroid is the factory manager, ensuring all the workers have the energy to keep the machines running smoothly. This small, butterfly-shaped gland in your neck produces hormones like T3 and T4, which act as the energy currency for your cells.

Healthy THYROID: you feel energized, focused, and balanced.

LAZY THYROID: you feel tired, gain weight, or even cause the machines to misfire (like a slower metabolism).

"HYPER-KID" THYROID: energy production cranks up too much, leaving you feeling jittery, overheated, or anxious.

Your thyroid’s job is crucial, but it also needs support. Just like a factory manager needs the right tools and a healthy environment, your thyroid needs the proper nutrients, hydration, and stress management to work effectively.

Boost Your Thyroid Naturally

Certain supplements act like VIP guests at your thyroid’s party—they ensure everything runs smoothly.

  1. Selenium – Helps convert T4 into the active T3 hormone, crucial for proper metabolism. Studies show selenium supplementation can improve thyroid function, especially in those with autoimmune thyroid disease.

  2. Zinc – Supports immune function and thyroid hormone synthesis. Zinc deficiency has been linked to hypothyroidism and can negatively impact metabolism.

  3. Vitamin D – Critical for overall hormone regulation and immune support. Low levels of Vitamin D are commonly found in individuals with thyroid disorders.

  4. Iodine – Essential for thyroid hormone production. Both deficiency and excess iodine can cause thyroid dysfunction, making balanced intake important.

  5. Magnesium – Plays a role in enzyme function and helps regulate the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Low magnesium levels can contribute to thyroid imbalances.

Maximizing Thyroid Function for Everyday Health

Tips for Long-Term Health:

  • Regular chiropractic care to support nervous system balance.

  • Avoid toxins (like BPA and heavy metals) that interfere with thyroid function.

  • Exercise: improves your overall hormone production and is a stress reliever.

  • Yoga: helps with thyroid health by reducing stress and improving blood circulation in the neck and throat area, also helps reduce body inflammation. 

  • Practice Stress Relieving Behaviors: Exercise, Prayer, Meditation, Journaling, Baths, Sexy-Time :)

  • Connect with your Tribe

  • Get ENOUGH sleep and "downtime"

  • If you feel you may have altered Thyroid Function, let me know and we will run the labs.
