The thyroid is the master of our metabolism and has an effect on almost every cell in the body. 🤯 Sounds important? YES IT IS! We need the thyroid to be functioning properly for optimal digestion, healthy sex hormones, and lots of energy.

The inactive form of thyroid hormone - Free T4 for those who want to know - is converted into the active form of thyroid hormone - Free T3 - primarily in the gut and liver.  So as you can see, many of the processes in the body are connected!  That’s why we should be supporting all of them with the food we eat.

Some of the most vital nutrients for the thyroid are:

✅ Selenium
✅ Vitamin D
✅ B vitamins
✅ Iron
✅ Ferritin
✅ Zinc
✅ Iodine*

**Those with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis should avoid iodine-rich foods.

There are many enriched foods that can support the thyroid, it’s just taking the time to educate yourself on the topic! Next time you are eating foods from our four detox categories, remember you are consuming them for your inside health! 🥦🙌🏼🍎
