How to Support Your Thyroid
Things to know about an underactive thyroid …
Can you relate to having:
•cold hands and feet
•general cold body temp
•thinning hair
•thinning eyebrows
•tired all the time

The thyroid can become imbalanced & disregulated when we:

•have suffered from trauma
•don’t sleep adequately
•don’t consume enough wholesome plantbased food
•exercise too much and not doing supportive exercise in relation to our monthly cycles

Iodine is a key nutrient needed for a regulated thyroid. Seaweed is a great option as is liquid iodine.
Foods that can support a healthy thyroid function include:
•Seaweed
•Brazil nuts for selenium
•Spirulina + greens
•Mushrooms
•Pineapple
•B vitamins - think sweet potatoes, avocado, brocolli, bananas, nuts, seeds, legumes, nutritional yeast
•Vitamin D - get out in the sunshine or add a supplement in the winter as this feel good vitamin also keeps us healthy
Essential oils that can help support a healthy thyroid are:
•Myrrh
•Lemongrass
•Clove
•Peppermint
•Frankincense
I have a blend (available on my website in the shop called Thyroid Health) that incorporates all of these beautiful oils to nurture and support the thyroid.
If you need a thyroid test then ask them to check your T3 & T4 levels as well as the ‘normal’ TSH test to give you a better understanding and awareness of the health of your very important little gland 🦋
I have turned the health of my thyroid around by incorporating holistic changes in my life.
The above is not medical advice ~ but it may just help you.
