Ep. 240: When the Clock Changes, So Does Your Thyroid: The Impact of Daylight Savings and Standard Time

Ep. 240: When the Clock Changes, So Does Your Thyroid: The Impact of Daylight Savings and Standard Time

Are you living with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or hypothyroidism and feeling extra tired, foggy, or out of sync after the time change?

Join us for this episode of the Paloma Health podcast as we uncover how the seemingly simple act of “springing forward” or “falling back” can ripple through your body—especially when your thyroid is part of the equation.

We’ll dive into:

  • Why the one-hour shift affects your internal clock (aka your circadian rhythm) AND your thyroid-hormone rhythms.

  • How the time change can worsen fatigue, mood swings, poor sleep and metabolic imbalances for people with thyroid dysfunction.

  • Smart, practical strategies to soften the blow: from gradually shifting your bedtime, boosting morning light exposure, to mindful use of melatonin and fine-tuning your medication routine.

  • Why even if your thyroid labs are “normal,” the clock change may still leave you feeling off—and what to do about it.

Whether you’re a longtime thyroid warrior or newly diagnosed, this episode is your wake-up call to the hidden impact of time changes.

🎧Tune in so you can self-advocate, stay one step ahead of the seasonal shift, and keep your thyroid journey on track no matter what the clock says.
