Brain Fog and Hashimoto’s: Is Your Thyroid to Blame?
Manage episode 482272716 series 3485386
Are you experiencing brain fog, memory issues, slower thinking, or difficulty concentrating, yet your bloodwork keeps coming back “normal”? These symptoms may be early signs of thyroid dysfunction, especially related to Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or hypothyroidism, and they’re more common than you think.
In this episode, we uncover the powerful and often overlooked link between thyroid health and cognitive decline. You'll learn how thyroid hormones like T3 affect brain function, mood, focus, and mental clarity, and why even subtle imbalances or thyroid antibodies can trigger symptoms long before diagnosis. We’ll explore the role of autoimmunity, neuroinflammation, gut health, nutrient deficiencies (like B12, iron, and selenium), and chronic stress in contributing to mental fatigue, forgetfulness, and emotional imbalances.
We also walk through the functional testing you should consider beyond standard TSH labs, and share a real-life client story of how a root-cause approach led to a full cognitive turnaround. If you feel foggy, unfocused, or not quite yourself, and suspect your thyroid might be the missing link, this episode gives you the tools, insight, and next steps to reclaim your energy and mental clarity, starting today!
