What Does Trauma Have to Do With Thyroid Health?

Save My Thyroid: Healing Tips for Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's

Some, if not many, roadblocks behind thyroid healing have a covert driver that only a few doctors ask about: unresolved trauma.

Trauma can keep the nervous system in a constant state of high alert, which may cause the immune system to remain overactive and antibodies to stay elevated. Even if you’re eating well, supporting your gut, and managing stress today, past trauma can still influence how your body responds.

This doesn’t mean trauma is always the root cause and the answer, but it’s often overlooked in both conventional and functional medicine. In this episode, I share how trauma may affect thyroid health and why addressing it could open new doors for healing when efforts seem to no avail.

Tune in to discover how processing old trauma may be the answer in lowering thyroid antibodies and moving your healing forward.
