Ep. 194: Making Summer Safer for Your Thyroid

Summer is all about sunshine, swimming, and spending time outdoors—but if you have hypothyroidism, some of your favorite warm-weather activities could be doing more harm than good. In this episode of Paloma's podcast, we dive into five surprising ways summer can impact your thyroid health.

From hidden chemicals in sunscreen and bug spray to the unexpected risks of chlorinated pools and fireworks, we unpack what you need to know to protect your thyroid all season long. We’ll even talk about an essential personal care product during summer heat -- deodorant! -- and how it could be affecting your hormone balance.

Whether you’re planning a beach day or just trying to survive a heatwave, tune in for simple, thyroid-safe swaps and practical advice to keep your summer fun and healthy.
