In this episode we discuss:

The factors that affect thyroid hormone production, conversion, transport, and uptake

  • How high TSH levels cause damage to the thyroid gland

  • High-carb diets vs. low-carb diets for thyroid health

  • Why restricting calories is not the way to go if you’re struggling with hypothyroidism

  • The effects of PUFA and endotoxin on thyroid hormone activity

  • The problems with both deficiencies and excesses of iron, iodine, and vitamin A for thyroid health

    1:04:30 – the effects of micronutrients, specifically iron, vitamin A, selenium, and iodine, on thyroid hormone production, conversion, and activity

    1:16:30 – increased thyroid activity increases macronutrient and micronutrient needs, but also improves micronutrient retention in the long-term
