In this episode, I dive deep into the crucial relationship between levothyroxine—a common medication for hypothyroidism—and magnesium and iron supplements. You'll learn how taking these supplements too close to your medication can interfere with absorption, potentially leading to deficiencies. I emphasize the importance of addressing hypothyroidism holistically by focusing on gut health, nutrient-dense foods, and the right food combinations.
I also share practical tips on how to naturally boost your magnesium and iron levels through food, along with the best timing to take supplements—waiting four to six hours after levothyroxine. Additionally, I explore the impact of a diverse diet on thyroid health and your gut microbiome, encouraging you to prioritize fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fermented foods while minimizing ultra-processed options.
Throughout our conversation, I highlight the significance of probiotics, prebiotics, and fiber-rich foods in supporting gut health. Managing stress, getting quality sleep, and practicing self-care are also key elements I discuss for maintaining overall well-being. By the end of this episode, I hope to inspire you to prioritize your health and never give up on your journey to wellness. Have we connected on Instagram yet?
