The Importance of Gut Health for Thyroid Health

Gut health plays a crucial role in thyroid health, especially for individuals with autoimmunity. A leaky gut can lead to chronic inflammation and potentially trigger autoimmune thyroid conditions. In addition, poor gut health can impair nutrient absorption, which is vital for thyroid hormone production. Certain foods, like gluten, can contribute to leaky gut and molecular mimicry, where the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid. Furthermore, gut infections like Candida or SIBO can disrupt digestion and nutrient assimilation, potentially leading to thyroid imbalances. Healing the gut is essential for managing and preventing thyroid issues.
