Deep Nutrition for Thyroid Health: Foods, Supplements & What to Avoid | Ep 378

Your thyroid influences nearly EVERY system in your body, from metabolism and digestion to mood, fertility, and energy, and in this episode, Erin is sharing how to support your thyroid health with deep nutrition.

You’ll learn why blood sugar regulation is the foundation of hormone health, and how thyroid-supportive nutrients like selenium, magnesium, and zinc can help optimize function and reduce risk for common imbalances.

Erin also explores the nuances of “anti-nutrients” like iodine and goitrogens, especially for those managing Hashimoto’s. She outlines practical food choices (think colorful veggies!), supplementation tips, and key labs to keep an eye on, so you can feel more confident in supporting your thyroid health starting today.

In this episode:

• Why unstable blood sugar makes thyroid medication and supplements less effective
• Must-have foods and nutrients to rotate for thyroid support, including selenium, magnesium, and zinc
• The surprising truth about cruciferous veggies like broccoli and cauliflower - and how you can enjoy them without sabotaging iodine uptake
• When iodine helps and when it can trigger Hashimoto’s flare-ups
• The safe supplements nearly everyone can use vs. those that require lab testing first
