Your Thyroid Is Talking—Are You Listening?

Every year on World Thyroid Day, we’re reminded just how essential the thyroid is to our energy, weight, mood, and overall vitality. Yet, for many women, thyroid symptoms go ignored, misdiagnosed, or dismissed as “just stress.”


As someone who’s walked the thyroid healing journey myself—and supported hundreds of women in doing the same—I believe this day is more than awareness. It’s a call to action.



It’s World Thyroid Day, and I’m answering the top 5 thyroid questions I hear most—naturally, of course!


1. Why Am I Gaining Weight Even Though I’m Eating Healthy?

Weight gain is one of the most frustrating symptoms of hypothyroidism. That’s because a sluggish thyroid slows your metabolism, making it harder to burn calories efficiently.


Natural Tip: Incorporate medium-chain fatty acids from sources like coconut oil—they support metabolism and provide quick-burning energy. Pair this with daily movement, even 20 minutes of walking, to gently stimulate your metabolism without overtaxing your adrenals.




2. What Are the Best Foods for My Thyroid?

Certain nutrients are essential for thyroid hormone production and conversion:

  • Selenium – Found in Brazil nuts, supports conversion of T4 to active T3.

  • Zinc – Try pumpkin seeds and lentils to support hormone synthesis.

  • Iodine – Naturally found in seaweed, but go easy—too much can trigger autoimmunity if you have Hashimoto’s.

Pro tip: Focus on whole, unprocessed foods, rich in minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. Cut back on inflammatory foods like refined sugar, gluten, and dairy, which may exacerbate autoimmune thyroid conditions.



3. Can I Test My Thyroid at Home?

While lab work is always recommended for diagnosis, there are signs your body might be waving a red flag:

  • Cold hands and feet

  • Fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest

  • Constipation

  • Low morning body temperature

  • Slow resting pulse (under 65 BPM consistently)

Next step: Track these symptoms using my free Thyroid Symptom Tracker, and then bring your notes to a trusted provider for comprehensive blood testing—including TSH, Free T3, Free T4, and thyroid antibodies.



4. Why Is My Hair Falling Out—and Will It Grow Back?

Thyroid hormones are deeply involved in hair follicle regeneration. When these hormones are imbalanced, it can throw hair into a “resting phase,” leading to thinning or hair loss, especially along the temples or crown.

Natural Support:

  • Eat biotin-rich foods like eggs, spinach, and almonds

  • Incorporate stress-reducing practices like yoga, meditation, or journaling—chronic stress suppresses thyroid function

  • Consider natural thyroid support through targeted supplementation with guidance



5. Are There Natural Remedies That Really Work?

Absolutely. While each person’s healing path is unique, there are foundational habits that make a big difference:


✅ Prioritize Sleep – Aim for 7–9 hours of restful sleep to regulate hormones

✅ Manage Stress – Use adaptogens like holy basil and calming practices to lower cortisol

✅ Cut Out Gluten & Dairy – Many with thyroid conditions (especially Hashimoto’s) have sensitivities that worsen inflammation

✅ Move Gently – Yoga, walking, and stretching can improve lymph flow and reduce sluggishness without spiking stress hormones
