How Insulin Affects Thyroid Function
In today’s lesson, “How Insulin Affects Thyroid Function” from the Thyroid Balance course, we dive into how your blood sugar and thyroid health are closely connected.
When insulin isn’t working properly — known as insulin resistance — it can affect your thyroid in several ways. Your cells may struggle to use thyroid hormones efficiently, and the thyroid itself may not get enough energy to function optimally. Over time, this can contribute to subclinical hypothyroidism or other thyroid imbalances.
Insulin resistance is often linked with higher blood sugar, oxidative stress, and metabolic issues like fatty liver — all of which can interfere with thyroid function. That’s why addressing both insulin and thyroid health together is so important.
✨ The takeaway: Supporting insulin balance through diet, lifestyle changes, and stress management can also improve thyroid function and overall wellness.
Check out today’s lesson in the Thyroid Balance course for practical tips to support insulin sensitivity and thyroid health.
