Key Nutrients to Support Optimal Thyroid Health Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola

Thyroid hormones are crucial regulators of metabolism, affecting nearly every physiological process. Imbalances can lead to various health issues, including hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, goiter and thyroid cancer.

Key nutrients for thyroid health include vitamin D, zinc, selenium, iodine, vitamin B12 and high-quality protein. A balanced diet rich in these nutrients supports optimal thyroid function.

Healthy saturated fats from grass fed butter, ghee, tallow, coconut oil and full-fat dairy products also help support thyroid health. Avoid polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and limit monounsaturated fats (MUFAs), both of which can interfere with thyroid function when consumed in excess.

Foods to avoid to maintain optimal thyroid health include goitrogens, gluten and processed foods. These can interfere with thyroid function and hormone production.

Additional strategies for thyroid health include avoiding nighttime light exposure, optimizing bile acid synthesis, minimizing exposure to certain chemicals and normalizing your cortisol and estrogen levels.
