There’s something grounding in remembering that nothing in nature rushes, yet everything gets where it needs to go.

Thyroid function depends on a range of nutrients and each plays a different role in hormone production, conversion, and how those hormones are used in the body.

Some key nutrients include:
• Iodine – required to build thyroid hormones (T4 and T3)
• Selenium – supports conversion of T4 into the active T3 and protects the thyroid from oxidative stress
• Zinc – involved in hormone production and immune regulation
• Iron – important for thyroid hormone synthesis and energy production
• Tyrosine – an amino acid that forms the backbone of thyroid hormones

These nutrients are found in a range of whole foods, including seafood (fish, oysters), seaweed, eggs, nuts and seeds (especially Brazil nuts for selenium), red meat, poultry, legumes, dairy, and a wide variety of fruit and vegetables.

It’s not just about intake, though. Digestion, absorption, and gut health all influence how well these nutrients are used at a cellular level.

In clinic, we look at the full picture such as diet, digestion, and individual needs rather than defaulting to blanket supplementation.

Why are thyroid issues more common in women?

Thyroid function is closely regulated by the brain–thyroid axis (the hypothalamus and pituitary), and this system is highly sensitive to hormonal, immune, and metabolic changes, many of which are more dynamic in women.

Oestrogen, for example, can increase thyroid-binding proteins in the blood, which affects how much active thyroid hormone is available to tissues. This means that during times of hormonal change like the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, or perimenopause, thyroid hormone availability and signalling can shift.

There is also a strong autoimmune link. Women are more prone to autoimmune conditions, including Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, due to differences in immune system regulation and activity.

Add in factors like nutrient requirements (iron, iodine, selenium), stress load, and the demands placed on the body through different life stages, and it becomes clearer why thyroid dysfunction is more prevalent in women.

In clinic, thyroid health is always considered within this wider context, not as a standalone issue, but as part of an interconnected system.

Thyroid symptoms are often subtle at first and easy to brush off as "just being tired" or "a busy season".

Some of the more common signs we see include:
• Ongoing fatigue, even with adequate rest
• Feeling cold more than others
• Brain fog or low motivation
• Hair thinning or dry skin
• Changes in your menstrual cycle
• Slower digestion or constipation
• Unexplained weight changes

In clinic, we look at the bigger picture and the underlying drivers that can influence these symptoms as well as your overall thyroid health.

If you've been experiencing the above symptoms for quite some time and still don't have answers, book in with our naturopaths to find the root cause and get you back on track.

Choosing low-tox products and avoiding plastics for babies minimizes their exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals and microplastics. Because infants have rapidly developing organs, smaller body mass, and thinner skin, (AND put everything in their mouth!!!) they are highly vulnerable to everyday toxins.

Try to avoid endocrine disruptive plastics that contain toxic additives like BPA (Bisphenol A), phthalates, and PFAS. These are linked to hormonal imbalances, reproductive issues, and developmental delays.

Other things to consider:

Minimizing Chemical Off-gassing: Traditional baby products (like foam mattresses, waterproof bedding, or stain-resistant clothing) can contain toxic fire retardants and VOCs.

Prioritizing Safe Materials: Choosing natural, low-tox alternatives—like glass baby bottles, organic cotton, solid wood, and natural rubber—ensures only safe, gentle materials touch your baby’s skin and mouth.

What does your thyroid actually do?

The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located at the front of the neck and its role is to produce thyroid hormones, primarily T4 (thyroxine) and T3 (triiodothyronine), which regulate how your body uses energy at a cellular level.

T4 is the main hormone released by the thyroid and acts as a precursor, while T3 is the more active form that directly influences cells. The body converts T4 into T3 as needed, depending on demand.

Together, these hormones help regulate metabolic rate, temperature, brain function, menstrual cycles, digestion, and heart rate, essentially acting as messengers and telling your cells how “fast” or “slow” to operate.

Because this system is tightly regulated via the brain and pituitary gland, even small disruptions can have widespread effects. This can show up as fatigue, brain fog, changes in weight, mood, or cycle irregularities.

In clinic, we rarely look at the thyroid in isolation as it’s closely connected to the nervous system, gut health, and overall hormonal balance.

Book your massage today!

A lymphatic massage can be a gentle way to help reduce that “heavy and sluggish” feeling that sometimes comes with the colder months. It supports circulation, encourages fluid movement, and will leave you feeling lighter and more relaxed afterwards.
