Support your thyroid with this tasty seaweed and seed snack!
Nori is a type of seaweed and a plant-based source of iodine, which your body needs to make thyroid hormones.
Your thyroid is your metabolic thermostat. It helps regulate how efficiently your cells convert fuel into energy, and that influences how many calories your body uses each day.
In menopause, shifting estrogen and progesterone can interfere with thyroid hormone production and with the conversion of inactive T4 into the active T3 your cells actually use. When your thyroid slows, your metabolic rate can slow too.
Many women notice the effects as:
- Weight gain without any dietary changes.
- Tiredness that sleep doesn’t fix.
- Cold hands and feet.
- Low mood and low motivation.
Your body can’t build or convert thyroid hormone without the right raw materials. These crackers bring iodine from the nori, plus zinc and selenium from the pumpkin, sunflower and sesame seeds, in a snack that’s easy to grab.
Thyroid health is about more than one snack, and testing is more than a TSH number. If you’re concerned about your thyroid, talk with your healthcare provider about having TSH, T4 and T3 checked together.
