Even the best thyroid protocol might stall if your gut hasn’t been addressed.

In this episode, we take a closer look at seven common gut-related roadblocks that can interfere with thyroid recovery. That includes foods like gluten, grains, and nightshades but also deeper layers like low stomach acid, gut infections, and hidden stress. You’ll also hear about environmental factors such as glyphosate and xenoestrogens that erode gut integrity over time.

Overall, it’s about understanding what could be getting in the way, and making thoughtful shifts where it makes sense. Healing the gut is often a foundational step, especially for autoimmune thyroid conditions.

If you’ve ruled out the usual thyroid suspects but still feel off, this could help explain why. Tune in now!
