Why Thyroid Health Matters for Athletes

What if your low energy or stubborn performance plateau have little to do with your training, and everything to do with your thyroid? In episode 133 of The Eat for Endurance Podcast, I’m joined by Registered Dietitian Katie Morra, MS, RD, LDN, IFMCP of ‪@theguthonesttruth‬ to talk all about thyroid health for athletes. In this episode, Katie and I discuss: -What the thyroid actually does and how it impacts almost everything in the body -Common signs of thyroid dysfunction -The connection between underfueling, stress, and thyroid function -Why you should get a full thyroid panel tested (not just TSH) -How gut health impacts nutrient absorption and thyroid function -When someone may need thyroid medication -The difference between Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism caused by underfueling -Practical nutrition and lifestyle strategies to support the thyroid This is a complex topic and we only scratch the surface, but it’s a really helpful starting point if you’ve ever wondered whether your thyroid could be playing a role in how you feel or perform. 🎧 Tune in to hear the full conversation! 👉 Katie’s website: https://www.guthonesttruth.com/ 👉 Inquire about comprehensive 1:1 coaching (limited spots): https://www.eatforendurance.com/virtu... 👉 Join the Fuel for Life Crew membership ($39/month, cancel anytime): https://www.eatforendurance.com/fuel-... 👉 Free nutrition downloads: https://www.eatforendurance.com/free-... 👉 Shop the Ultimate Fueling Sticker Pack: https://www.eatforendurance.com 👉 Visit my website: https://www.eatforendurance.com #ThyroidHealth #ThyroidHealthForAthletes #EnduranceAthlete #SportsNutrition #Underfueling #GutHealth #HormoneHealth #EnduranceAthlete #GutHonestTruth #EatForEndurance
