How to manage stress for a healthy thyroid

Thyroid disorders are common and stress is a risk factor. Stress affects the thyroid gland by increasing cortisol and adrenaline. This can cause hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. Chronic stress can impact the thyroid gland, leading to imbalances in hormone production. Stress may contribute to thyroid disorders, such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, exacerbating existing conditions. Managing stress through lifestyle changes and relaxation techniques is crucial for supporting overall thyroid health.
