Hypothyroidism, Diet, And You

By Dr. Kevin Dobrzynski


Do you think there's a connection between hypothyroidism, diet, and you?

Unfortunately the doctor you make an appointment with might not get adequate insight on how you can control hypothyroidism.

To this day, I'm still confused as to why most doctors think there's no connection between your diet and hypothyroidism. Yet when you're struggling with symptoms and weight loss doctors blame your diet, hmm?

Start a discussion of the situation by asking the doctor to explain how the body produces thyroid hormone.

If you don't get a simple, quick, answer, run! The response should be... "The body makes thyroid hormone by concentrating iodine and tyrosine."

The next question you should ask is... "Where does my body get iodine and tyrosine" The answer, "your diet".

The fact is those are not the only nutrients you require to make thyroid hormone. That is only one example. They are of primary importance, but, copper, zinc, selenium, magnesium, manganese, vitamin A, and B vitamins are also needed to make and then convert thyroid hormone.

So, if you don't get these nutrients from your diet, where would you get them? Obviously, you can take supplements, but supplements can't replace a poor diet.

Hypothyroidism happens for two reasons, which are diet and environment. Another factor is stress. Should the knowledge that these three things are associated with thyroid problems indicate what to include in treatment?

When the cause of a disease is known, it should then be simple to figure out how to treat it. Modern medicine places the focus on the treatment for the disease rather than investigating what causes it. You may or may not agree with this statement.

The question then is, how does your diet and the environment you live in contribute to hypothyroidism or any other disease? Both of these things can make vitamin and mineral deficiencies, along with bodily toxicity likely to develop. The situation will, at some point, create a breakdown affecting your body and health.

Again, there are more complex issues with dis-ease of the body and how you can heal the body with food, but it is possible.

This confirms the existence of a specific connection between hypothyroidism and diet and you.

If you eat a healthy diet you will be healthy.
