🎧 In This Episode: The Hidden Hero Called Selenium

This week, we’re talking about something small but mighty: Selenium—a trace mineral that plays a huge role in midlife health, especially for the thyroid, brain, and metabolism. Here's how this episode came to be (shoutout to Tom, the neighbor with all the wild Alaskan fish 🐟)...

We cover:

• Why Selenium is essential for thyroid conversion (T4 ➡️ T3)

• How a deficiency can show up as fatigue, cold intolerance, and brain fog

• Its critical role in protecting the thyroid from oxidative damage

• How Selenium binds to mercury and helps neutralize toxicity (especially relevant if you eat a lot of fish)

• What the research says about Selenium lowering thyroid antibodies in Hashimoto’s

• Why two Brazil nuts a day might be the most delicious prescription you’ll ever get

• Foods rich in Selenium (besides Brazil nuts): wild fish, sunflower seeds, turkey, eggs, and shiitake mushrooms

• How too much Selenium can be toxic—why more isn’t better

• A sneak preview of the upcoming Mastering Midlife program (August!)

🧠 Key Quote:

“No Selenium, no thyroid conversion. You can have all the T4 in the world, but unless it’s turning into active T3, your metabolism is stuck in neutral.”

🎯 Takeaways:

• If you’re always cold, sluggish, or foggy—check your thyroid and Selenium status.

• Food-based Selenium is often enough, especially if you enjoy Brazil nuts or wild fish.

• Ladies in midlife and beyond: keep Selenium on your radar—especially if you have or suspect Hashimoto’s.

• Test, don’t guess. And remember: more is not better when it comes to trace minerals.

🎉 Final Reminder:

Tight28 starts July 6—your chance to uncover hidden blocks like inflammation, organ dysfunction, and food sensitivities that may be sabotaging your progress.
