Thyroid Health
The thyroid regulates metabolism, energy, and mood. Support it with adequate iodine, selenium, and zinc; be thoughtful about excessive soy and raw cruciferous intake if you already have thyroid disease; manage stress; and get regular screening if you have symptoms of hypo- or hyperthyroidism. Hashimoto's is common and often missed. Ask for antibodies, not only TSH.
