NDTV reports that nutritionist Rashi Chowdhary says low iron levels may be a hidden cause of thyroid problems. Symptoms like fatigue, hair fall and weight changes could stem from iron deficiency rather than thyroid dysfunction alone. Many people with thyroid issues still feel unwell because iron deficiency is overlooked. Iron is essential for thyroid hormone production and conversion. Chowdhary advises checking iron status alongside thyroid markers for a clearer diagnosis. Treating the thyroid without addressing iron may not resolve symptoms.
