If your thyroid is unhealthy, you´ll:

- Have brain fog
- Feel tired 24/7
- Struggle to lose weight

But it´s silently being poisoned everyday by our toxic modern environment.

Here are the top 8 things you need to save your thyroid (bookmark this): 🧵

First of all...

Low thyroid often doesn't come with extreme symptoms.

It can easily fall under the radar.

But this is how common it is and what the symptoms are:

The usual treatment for low thyroid is just a synthetic version of T4...

But that's only 1 part of your thyroid.

You need other solutions too.

So now you know the signs your thyroid isn't healthy and how important it is...

Here's your 8-step plan to fix and optimize it:

1. The foods you eat.

Certain foods have nutrients which:

- Thyroid hormones are made from
- Protect the thyroid from inflammation
- Improve gut health which helps the thyroid too.

Here they are:

2. Improve your sleep.

- Better TSH rhythm for hormone output
- Lowers cortisol for T4→T3 conversion
- Reduces damage from inflammation
- Balances hormones that support metabolism.

You absolutely need sleep for your hormones and every aspect of your physical health.

3. Minimize environmental toxins.

They disrupt thyroid hormone proudction, conversion, transport and can even cause your immune system to attack your thyroid.

- Filter water (remove fluoride/chlorine)
- Eat organic to avoid pesticides
- Avoid microplastics:

4. Reduce stress (cortisol).

Stress isn´t just a feeling.

Excess cortisol suppresses the thyroid and harms your body in many ways:

- Worse immune system
- Can lead to weight gain
- Increase risk of stroke & heart attacks.

5. Improve your gut health.

The gut is the most overlooked organ system in the body.

20% of the active thyroid hormone T3 is made in the gut.

Gut health also affects:

- Stress
- Inflammation
- Absorption of nutrients that affect the thyroid.

6. Get more sunlight.

- Increases blood flow to thyroid
- Reduces damage from inflammation
- Sets circadian rhythm → steadies TSH
- Boosts vitamin D → calms autoimmunity
- Lowers cortisol → improves T4→T3 conversion.

Go for walks more often and spend more time in nature.

7. Exercise (but don´t overdo it).

- Boosts TSH & T3
- Improves T4→T3 conversion
- Lowers inflammation & cortisol
- Increases cell sensitivity to hormones
- Improves nutrient delivery to the gland.

Avoid overtraining by regularly doing quick workouts like these:

8. Reduce inflammation.

The average Western diet is very inflammatory and damages the thyroid with:

- Alcohol
- Refined carbs & sugar
- Processed food & seed oils

8 ways to fix and optimize your thyroid health:

- Reduce stress
- Get more sunlight
- Improve your sleep
- Reduce inflammation
- Improve your gut health
- Exercise but don´t overdo it
- Minimize environmental toxins
- Eat foods high in iodine and selenium.
