Ep. 257: Is Your Thyroid Quietly Rewiring Your Brain?


Listen Later

Brain fog that won’t lift. Crushing fatigue. Mood changes, anxiety, headaches, or memory slips that make you feel like you’re not quite yourself anymore.

What if these symptoms aren’t random — and aren’t “all in your head” — but are signals from your thyroid to your brain?

In this eye-opening episode of the Paloma podcast, we dive deep into the powerful and often overlooked connection between hypothyroidism and the central nervous system.

Learn how thyroid hormones act like chemical messengers for your brain, why low levels can slow nerve signaling, and how untreated or under-treated hypothyroidism may affect cognition, emotions, and neurological function.

We also unpack the science behind symptoms many patients struggle to get validated — from brain fog and depression to migraines and coordination issues — and explain why standard thyroid labs don’t always tell the whole story.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, confused, or frustrated by lingering neurological symptoms, this episode brings clarity, validation, and a path forward. 

🎧 Tune in now for a deeper understanding of what’s happening in your brain — and how personalized, thyroid-focused care can help you feel sharp, steady, and fully yourself again.
