When it comes to skin health, your thyroid gland plays a major role. For example, if your thyroid levels are low, you might notice your skin getting dry and cracked, no matter how much you moisturize. On the flip side, if your thyroid levels are high, you might see a doughy texture, especially around your eyes and lower legs. Hair loss can happen with both high and low thyroid levels! So, whenever I see these skin issues, I always think about the thyroid. 

If you’re dealing with skin problems like dryness, hair loss, or brittle nails, you should definitely see a dermatologist or a doctor who knows about thyroid issues. Sometimes, a simple blood test can reveal if your thyroid is out of whack. Trust me, fixing those thyroid levels can really help you feel and look so much better! Don’t wait—your body will thank you!

Join me in my Weekly Recap Episode, where I share the key insights from this week's podcast episode with Dr. Dana Gibbs.
