The Thyroid Hotline 8

Join host Missy Beavers and success coach Stacey Price as they discuss the connection between gluten and thyroid health in this episode of the Thyroid Hotline. They explain how gluten can trigger autoimmune responses in individuals with Hashimoto's or Graves' disease, leading to inflammation and the production of antibodies. Cutting out gluten can help reduce antibodies and improve gut health. They also emphasize the importance of addressing gut imbalances and leaky gut to support thyroid function. Discover how healing the gut can lead to better absorption of nutrients and optimize thyroid health.
