How does the thyroid affect the mitochondria?

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

Mitochondria are the energy powerhouses of our cells. They use oxygen to convert glucose to an energy-storing molecule called ATP, which plays a role in numerous functions involved in neurotransmission, muscle contraction, DNA and RNA synthesis, and more.
With thyroid hormones playing a vital role in regulating energy production within the mitochondria, the relationship between thyroid health and mitochondrial function is critical to our well-being.
Today I’m discussing the relationship between thyroid health and mitochondrial function and why balanced thyroid hormone levels are needed to maintain optimal mitochondrial function and overall health.
In this episode, you’ll learn about:
- The effects of oxidative stress on the mitochondria
- How thyroid hormones stimulate energy production and mitochondrial formation
- The connection between autoimmune conditions and mitochondrial dysfunction
- How thyroid medications can impact mitochondrial health
- The potential effects of beta blockers on mitochondrial function
- Common factors that contribute to mitochondrial damage
- Selenium's role in thyroid health and its protective effects on mitochondria
As always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!
