Before adjusting your thyroid meds, have you ever ruled out gut-based triggers?

Gut imbalances can have a bigger impact on thyroid health than most realize, especially in autoimmune conditions like Graves’ and Hashimoto’s. When the gut barrier breaks down, the immune system can get confused and prevent symptoms from fully improving. Testing can also be tricky, and just because something shows up doesn’t always mean it needs to be treated.

In this episode, I walk through how I approach these situations; how to evaluate critically, when to dig deeper, and when the priority should be foundational support like stress, sleep, and diet.

Tune in to get a clearer picture of how gut health could be influencing your thyroid!
