Thyroid dysfunction can cause weight fluctuations, fatigue, brittle hair and nails, dry skin and even loss of libido among many other things. Polyunsaturated fat found in coconut oil can help thyroid issues, especially hypothyroidism. To keep the thyroid functioning normally, consume healthy oils like coconut oil, exercise regularly, reduce fluoride and mercury exposure, consume iodine rich foods, avoid excessive salt especially in salad dressings and supplement with zinc, selenium, as well as vitamins B, E and C.
