Your liver isnāt just a detox organ, itās one of the most important players in your thyroid health.
About 60% of your T4 ā active T3 conversion happens in the liver⦠so if your liver is sluggish, inflamed, or overburdened, you will feel it.
Hereās what happens when your liver is struggling:
š£ Lower T3 levels
š„± Fatigue + slower metabolism
š§ Brain fog
āļø Stubborn weight gain
š Low mood + irritability
š„ More inflammation
Many women with Hashimotoās have a liver thatās overwhelmed by:
⢠Stress hormones
⢠Environmental toxins
⢠Medications
⢠Nutrient deficiencies
⢠High inflammation
šæ How to support your liver so it can support your thyroid:
⢠Eat enough protein (liver needs amino acids!)
⢠Add bitter foods: dandelion tea, lemon water
⢠Prioritize selenium, zinc, copper (eggs, fish, red meat)
⢠Reduce alcohol (even small amounts impair T4āT3)
⢠Support bile flow with healthy fats + taurine (ghee, tallow, beef, lamb)
⢠Avoid seed oils + processed foods
⢠Sweat (sauna or exercise) to release toxins
Healthy liver = healthy thyroid
You cannot make enough T3 if your liver is overwhelmedā¤ļø
