Thyroid Strong™: Whole-Body Approach
The thyroid gland exists in a system… it doesn’t function separate from all other body parts.
The hypothalamus and pituitary gland control the product and release of thyroid hormone through a negative feedback loop (this is the HPT-axis).
The liver plays a role but converting the majority of T4 released by the thyroid into its active form, T3.
Probiotics in the gut convert T3S and T3AC into active T3 and even chronic stress plays a role in the thyroid system. Chronic stress can decrease thyroid hormone production as well as decrease thyroid hormone receptor site sensitivity.
All of this to say, in order to really support your thyroid, you need a whole-body approach like Thyroid Strong™. Because iodine alone won’t cut it.
