Part 2 of this series takes aim at one of the most persistent—and misleading—claims in modern nutrition: that cutting carbs wrecks your thyroid. Influencers love this narrative. The science does not.
In this follow‑up to Battling the Influencers, we break down:
Why low-carb doesn’t “shut down” thyroid function, and how T3 dips are a normal, intelligent metabolic adaptation—not a sign of hormonal collapse.
What decades of research actually show, including consistent findings that TSH remains stable, symptoms don’t appear, and metabolic rate holds steady even when T3 shifts.
How metabolic flexibility—not constant carb feeding—is the real driver of performance, resilience, and long-term metabolic health.
Why the body’s T3/T4 shift is a protective energy‑thrift mechanism, mirroring fasting and ancestral survival strategies rather than signaling dysfunction.
The role of insulin, deiodinases, and energy availability, and why low-carb states often improve body composition, insulin sensitivity, and even autoimmune markers.
This article dismantles the oversimplified “carbs = thyroid health” narrative and replaces it with a nuanced, evidence‑based understanding of how the thyroid adapts, protects, and optimizes under different fuel conditions.
If you’re ready to move beyond influencer myths and understand what your thyroid is actually doing, this deep dive gives you the clarity and confidence the conversation has been missing.
