About this episode
[The LOdown] Minerals for Hypothyroidism

Minerals are the keys to unlocking better hormone production, conversion and utilization in the body. The thyroid gland is a particularly mineral dependent gland. It uses the mineral iodine to make thyroid hormones. Plus utilizes other complementary minerals to help with conversion and activation of these hormones as well as in regulating the oxidative stress that occurs during thyroid hormone production. Tune into this episode to learn about the role of these specific minerals, situations that deplete mineral levels and mineral testing I recommend.

A few things we chat about in this episode 👇👇👇

  • why minerals matter for thyroid health
  • the macro minerals - their role in thyroid health, sourcing in food and more tips
  • the trace minerals - their role in thyroid health, sourcing in food and more tips
