Probiotics & Thyroid Health

🌟 Want to give your thyroid a boost with the right probiotics? With so many options out there, it can feel a bit dizzying to choose the perfect one! 😵‍💫 But guess what? You don’t have to guess anymore—keep reading to find out how!

For now, check out these gut-thyroid friendly strains and their delicious food sources:

• Lactobacillus acidophilus: Supports gut health and thyroid function. The conversion of inactive T4 to active T3 occurs partly in the gut. Lactobacillus acidophilus can improve gut integrity and function, supporting this hormonal conversion, which is crucial for thyroid metabolism.🥛 Find it in yogurt, kefir, and sauerkraut!
• Bifidobacterium bifidum: Enhances nutrient absorption for better thyroid health. 🥒 Since proper thyroid function depends on the absorption of key nutrients, a healthy gut environment is critical for maintaining thyroid health.Look for it in yogurt and fermented veggies!
• Lactobacillus plantarum: Balances the gut microbiome and reduces inflammation. Chronic inflammation has been shown to interfere with the conversion of thyroid hormones, and addressing inflammation can support better thyroid health.🥬 You’ll find it in pickles (fermented in brine), kimchi, and certain types of sauerkraut!
• Saccharomyces boulardii: Maintains gut barrier health and reduces inflammation. A fun fact: it can help prevent yeast overgrowth! Enjoy it in supplement form or as part of some tasty probiotic-rich drinks!

Probiotics are a fantastic way to boost the good bacteria in your gut! 🌱 And in our next email, we’ll share tips on how to grow your own beneficial bacteria through the foods you eat!
