6 Essential Nutrients Your Thyroid Needs to Function Properly
Many people with thyroid symptoms are told their labs are “normal,” yet they continue to struggle with fatigue, brain fog, weight gain or weight resistance, hair loss, anxiety, or cold intolerance. In this episode, we focus on one commonly overlooked reason thyroid symptoms persist: nutrient deficiencies that interfere with thyroid hormone function.
In this episode, Dr. Var breaks down six essential nutrients your thyroid needs to properly produce thyroid hormone, convert inactive T4 into active T3, and support thyroid hormone signaling at the cellular level. You’ll learn why a normal TSH alone does not always reflect optimal thyroid function, especially when key nutrients are low. We also discuss why some people continue to have symptoms despite being on thyroid medication, and how underlying nutrient deficiencies can limit how well treatment works.
This episode is designed to help you understand the foundational nutrient requirements your thyroid depends on — without replacing medical care or promoting unnecessary supplementation. If you’ve been told “your labs look fine” but you don’t feel fine, this episode will help you better understand what may be missing and how to have a more informed conversation with your healthcare provider.
