The Science
Evidence-based methods to support your thyroid health, from nutrition and movement to stress management and sleep optimization.
Anti-Inflammatory Stack
Combine omega-3 fatty acids, curcumin, and selenium for synergistic anti-inflammatory effect targeting Hashimoto's autoimmune inflammation.
Biometric Tracking Stack
Layer multiple tracking modalities: Oura Ring (sleep, temperature, HRV) + Levels CGM (glucose) + Eli Hormometer (cortisol) + Proov (reproductive hormones) for comprehensive thyroid health picture.
Castor Oil Pack Protocol
Apply organic castor oil to flannel pack, place on abdomen/liver area, cover with heat source (heating pad or sauna blanket). 45-60 min sessions, 3-4x/week.
Clean Living Swap Protocol
Systematically replace conventional products with non-toxic alternatives. Priority order: 1) Water (filter), 2) Kitchen (cookware, storage), 3) Home (cleaners, laundry), 4) Personal care (deodorant, lotion, shampoo), 5) Oral care (toothpaste, mouthwash).
Continuous Temperature Monitoring
Use Oura Ring to track nightly body temperature trends as a proxy indicator for thyroid function changes. Persistent deviations may signal medication adjustments needed.
Cortisol-Thyroid Axis Management
Track cortisol with Eli Hormometer while supporting adrenal function with ashwagandha. Elevated cortisol inhibits T4-to-T3 conversion.
Environmental Detox Protocol
Systematically reduce endocrine disruptor exposure: switch to PFAS-free cookware, install water filtration (fluoride removal), reduce blue light, and support detoxification with infrared sauna.
GLP-1 + Thyroid Comprehensive Protocol
Complete protocol for thyroid patients on GLP-1s: multivitamin + collagen + probiotics + CGM monitoring + gut testing + frequent thyroid labs + hair support.
GLP-1 Thyroid Optimization Protocol
For thyroid patients starting GLP-1 agonists: comprehensive multivitamin, collagen for muscle preservation, probiotics for GI support, and frequent TSH monitoring.
Gut-Thyroid Healing Protocol
Test microbiome with Tiny Health, identify dysbiosis/SIBO, repair gut lining with L-Glutamine + probiotics, reduce inflammation with omega-3s, and retest after 3-6 months.
Infrared Sauna Detox Protocol
Use far-infrared sauna to raise core body temperature, support detoxification (7x more effective than traditional sauna), reduce inflammation, and enhance mitochondrial function.
Perimenopause Thyroid Tracking
Use Proov Empower for hormone tracking + Paloma test kit for thyroid panel + Oura Ring for body temperature/sleep to differentiate thyroid vs. perimenopause symptoms.
Pre-Conception Thyroid Protocol
Optimize TSH <2.5, start prenatal + CoQ10 + myo-inositol 3-6 months before TTC. Track ovulation with Proov. Test thyroid every 4-6 weeks once pregnant.
Red Light Therapy for Thyroid
Apply red/NIR light (630-850nm) directly to thyroid/neck area to support tissue regeneration, reduce inflammation, and improve cellular function.
Selenium + Myo-Inositol Protocol
Combine selenium 83-200mcg with myo-inositol 600-2000mg daily to reduce thyroid antibodies and improve thyroid function in Hashimoto's.
Sleep Apnea + Thyroid Management
Combine CPAP therapy with thyroid optimization, magnesium glycinate for sleep quality, and Oura Ring for tracking sleep improvements.
Thyroid Anti-Inflammatory Supplement Stack
Foundation supplements for autoimmune thyroid: selenium (200mcg) + myo-inositol (2000mg) + vitamin D3 (5000IU) + omega-3 (1280mg) + magnesium glycinate (300-400mg). Take 2+ hours from thyroid medication.
Thyroid Hair Recovery Protocol
Address root causes first (optimize thyroid, check ferritin >70, vitamin D 40-60 ng/mL), then add targeted hair supplement. Allow 3-6 months for visible results.
Thyroid Sleep Optimization Protocol
Layer sleep interventions: blue light glasses 2h before bed, magnesium glycinate, weighted blanket, blackout sleep mask, organic bedding, cool room (65-68°F), consistent schedule.
