Ep. 192: Metformin, Hashimoto’s, and Hypothyroidism

In this episode, we’re spotlighting a surprising superstar in the world of thyroid health—metformin. That’s right—the go-to medication for type 2 diabetes is now making waves in the Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism communities. But why?


We’ll break down how metformin works to regulate your blood sugar and boost insulin sensitivity—and more intriguingly—how emerging research shows it may also help reduce autoimmune antibodies, support healthier thyroid hormone levels, improve gut health, and even aid with weight loss.


Could metformin be a game-changer for your thyroid? You’ll want to listen to this issue, and join us for this deep dive into the benefits, potential side effects, and what you must know before considering it as part of your treatment plan.
