In this episode of The Art of Being Well, I explore the intricacies of thyroid health, covering common conditions like hypothyroidism and Graves' disease, along with the symptoms that often go unnoticed. We also dive into the key markers for thyroid function, the often-overlooked importance of T3, and the link between thyroid health and cholesterol. Tune in to learn about the specific foods and supplements that can either support or harm your thyroid, and gain a deeper understanding of how to take charge of your thyroid health.

A few of my favorite things we cover in this episode: 

  • Common thyroid issues people often experience.
  • Typical symptoms that prompt individuals to investigate their thyroid health.
  • General thyroid hormone ranges and how to determine whether someone is hypothyroid or hyperthyroid.
  • The significance of Graves' disease, alongside Hashimoto's, and the markers to look for when there's suspicion or family history of Graves.
  • The importance of monitoring T3 levels and why the standard medical community may often overlook it.
  • The connection between low T3 levels and elevated cholesterol.
  • Specific foods that either support or negatively affect thyroid function.
  • Supplements that can effectively support thyroid health.
