@thewellnesspharm: I love me some ashywashy BUT Ashwagandha isn’t safe for every thyroid condition—here’s why. Ashwagandha is often praised for reducing stress and balancing cortisol, but what most people don’t realize is that it also stimulates thyroid hormone production. That means if you have hypothyroidism (low T3/T4, high TSH), it might help—but if you have hyperthyroidism (high T3/T4, low TSH), it could make symptoms worse. This is why understanding your thyroid levels before taking adaptogens is non-negotiable. If you have hypothyroidism, focus on selenium, zinc, iodine balance (not excess), blood sugar regulation, and nervous system support. If you have hyperthyroidism, reducing inflammation, managing cortisol levels, and supporting your liver (which processes excess thyroid hormones) is key. Not all adaptogens impact the thyroid the same way—there’s a better alternative for managing stress without risking overstimulation. #ashwagandha #ashwagandhabenefits #hypothyroidism #hyperthyroidism
