Appetite Changes and Thyroid Health

Save My Thyroid: Healing Tips for Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's

While there are exceptions, it’s very common for people with hyperthyroidism to experience an increase in appetite. When I dealt with Graves’ disease, I had a voracious appetite. On the other hand, those with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s tend to experience a reduced appetite.
A number of factors impact appetite regulation and hunger cues, and thyroid health plays a big role. Today, I’m sharing why thyroid hormones matter when it comes to appetite and satiety and why it’s essential to address the underlying causes rather than focus on symptoms.
In this episode, you’ll learn about:
- Leptin's role in satiety and ghrelin's role in stimulating hunger
- Insulin's interaction with brain receptors
- How thyroid hormones influence appetite and mood
- Why chronic inflammation in autoimmune conditions can dampen appetite
- Other common causes of appetite changes
- How addressing nutrient deficiencies can help to normalize appetite
- Strategies for addressing thyroid hormone imbalances
As always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!
