Your thyroid is tiny—but its impact is massive. It controls your energy, metabolism, mood, temperature, skin, weight, and more. But most thyroid issues are underdiagnosed or mismanaged, especially in women. Let’s unpack the full thyroid story and how to reclaim balance—without masking symptoms.
Thyroid basics: Your metabolic thermostat
The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate how your cells use energy. If it’s underactive (hypothyroid), everything slows down. If overactive (hyperthyroid), things speed up—too much.
Why TSH alone isn’t enough
Most doctors only test TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone). But to get the full picture, you need:
Free T3 and Free T4
Reverse T3
Thyroid antibodies (for Hashimoto’s or Graves')
Cortisol and nutrient levels (selenium, zinc, iron)
Underrated signs of Thyroid imbalance
Fatigue and brain fog
Cold hands and feet
Hair thinning, dry skin
Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
Depression or anxiety
Irregular periods or infertility
Constipation or bloating
How I support Thyroid healing
Comprehensive testing and thyroid panels
Nutrient support for hormone conversion and clearance
Gut healing (70% of thyroid hormone is activated in the gut!)
Stress reduction and adrenal care
Autoimmune-specific protocols for Hashimoto’s
The mind-body link
Your thyroid sits energetically in the throat chakra—often linked to expression, truth, and boundaries. Holistic healing also means emotional work.
Conclusion
You’re not crazy, lazy, or broken—your thyroid may just be begging for better care. Let’s give it the attention it deserves.
