Ep. 176: Thyroid Health and Leaky Gut: A Deep Dive
Manage episode 475076343 series 3231601
If you're managing hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s disease, you’ve probably heard about the gut-thyroid connection—but how deep does it really go? In this deep dive episode, we’re diving headfirst into the gut-thyroid axis and uncovering why your digestive health plays a massive role in your thyroid function.
Spoiler alert: It’s not just about digestion!
Your gut microbiome influences everything from nutrient absorption (think iodine, selenium, and zinc—key players in thyroid hormone production) to inflammation and autoimmunity. An imbalance in your gut, known as dysbiosis -- or "leaky gut" -- can trigger immune responses that disrupt your thyroid hormone levels. And if you’ve ever wondered about leaky gut, probiotics, or whether fermented foods like kimchi and sauerkraut actually help, we’re covering all of it.
In this episode, we’ll break down:
✅ How your gut and thyroid work together (and sometimes against each other!)
✅ The best gut-friendly foods and probiotics for thyroid health
✅ How common meds like antibiotics may be sabotaging your gut (and what to do about it)
✅ Testing options to decode your gut microbiome and restore balance
By the end, you’ll have actionable strategies to support both your gut and thyroid—because when these two systems are in harmony, you feel energized, balanced, and thriving.
