Mitochondria are the energy powerhouses of our cells. They use oxygen to convert glucose to an energy-storing molecule called ATP, which plays a role in numerous functions involved in neurotransmission, muscle contraction, DNA and RNA synthesis, and more.

With thyroid hormones playing a vital role in regulating energy production within the mitochondria, the relationship between thyroid health and mitochondrial function is critical to our well-being.

Today I’m discussing the relationship between thyroid health and mitochondrial function and why balanced thyroid hormone levels are needed to maintain optimal mitochondrial function and overall health.

In this episode, you’ll learn about:
- The effects of oxidative stress on the mitochondria
- How thyroid hormones stimulate energy production and mitochondrial formation
- The connection between autoimmune conditions and mitochondrial dysfunction
- How thyroid medications can impact mitochondrial health
- The potential effects of beta blockers on mitochondrial function
- Common factors that contribute to mitochondrial damage
- Selenium's role in thyroid health and its protective effects on mitochondria

As always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!

It can be challenging to navigate your thyroid healing journey outside of conventional medical recommendations. While there is definitely a time and place for medication, for many people it isn’t the only option and a natural approach may be more desirable.

In today’s Save My Thyroid Audit, I’m talking to Paula, who was diagnosed with Graves’ disease and later fired by her endocrinologist when she chose to follow a natural treatment approach. Unfortunately, this is common for patients seeking alternative treatment options. In this episode, Paula and I discuss why she decided to try natural treatments, her experience with the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet and herbal supplements, the significant health improvements she’s seen so far, my recommendations for continued reduction of her symptoms, why individualized care is essential, addressing both physical and emotional aspects of thyroid health, and more.

While this isn’t the same as my comprehensive consultations with patients, I’m confident you’ll find this conversation valuable. If you would like to apply for an audit with me, you can do so by visiting https://SaveMyThyroid.com/audit. Enjoy the episode!

Like many people, I’ve added sea salt to my food for years. Although sea salt is often praised for its trace minerals, there are a number of concerns to think about when considering whether using sea salt would contribute positively to overall health.

Today I’m exploring the three main concerns about sea salt and thyroid health and why I recommend it to most of my patients.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The trace minerals found in sea salt and their benefits.
- Iodine's role and effects on thyroid health
- The necessity of minerals from sea salt
- The link between excess salt and autoimmune diseases
- Implications of microplastics in sea salt
- What research shows about microplastic contamination in sea salt
- Weighing risks vs. benefits of consuming sea salt

As always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!
