Your thyroid controls your metabolism. When it’s underactive, it can cause weight gain, low energy, and a range of metabolic issues. Poor thyroid function slows your body’s ability to burn fat, making weight loss challenging—even for those committed to diet and exercise. Over time, this can lead to frustration, despair, and declining health.
Many people assume a slow thyroid is purely genetic, that some are simply “born with a slow metabolism.” In reality, lifestyle choices have a huge impact on thyroid health. Often, the root cause lies in adrenal gland dysfunction, which itself stems from a compromised immune system triggered by:
- Toxic overload from environmental sources, processed foods, and chemicals, combined with poor nutrition (not lack of food, but low-quality or junk food).
- Chronic stress, which goes untreated and gradually strains adrenal and thyroid function.
How Thyroid Hormones Affect Your Body
The thyroid produces thyroxine (T4), a key hormone that regulates metabolic rate. Along with T3, these hormones control cellular metabolism throughout the body.
- Too little thyroid hormone slows metabolism, leading to fatigue, weight gain, and low energy.
- Overactive thyroid can cause restlessness, rapid weight loss, sleep disturbances, and anxiety.
Both under- and overactive thyroid conditions leave you feeling unwell, so it’s essential to address the underlying causes, not just the symptoms.
Supporting Your Thyroid Naturally
1. Treat the Root Causes
- Identify and address food sensitivities (like gluten or dairy).
- Reduce heavy metal exposure and improve overall nutrition.
- Stay active and manage stress effectively.
2. Eat Thyroid-Friendly Foods
- Avoid excessive soy and cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower) in raw form—they can impair thyroid function.
- Include nutrient-dense greens and foods rich in iodine, selenium, zinc, omega-3 fats, and healthy saturated fats.
3. Reduce Stress
- Support adrenal health with self-care routines: meditation, walks, spending time with loved ones, and restful activities.
4. Exercise Regularly
- Moderate exercise boosts thyroid function, increases lean muscle mass, and supports adrenal health.
