Hypothyroidism, Diet, And You

By Dr. Kevin Dobrzynski


It is too bad that the physician you turn to for help cannot provide a great deal of insight on how to keep your hypothyroidism under control.

It's unfortunate that when you go to a doctor you may not get much insight on what you can do to control your 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?

If the answer is hesitant or absent, you will do yourself a favor by changing doctors. He or she should quickly tell you that it concentrates iodine and tyrosine to make thyroid hormones.

Continue the discussion by asking where your body goes to get iodine and tyrosine. If the answer is not from your diet, you should question your doctor further.

In addition to iodine and tyrosine, the body requires a host of other minerals and vitamins. They include vitamin A, vitamin B, manganese, magnesium, selenium, zinc and copper to produce and convert the thyroid hormone. But, tyrosine and iodine are the most important ones.

Where do you go for these necessary nutrients when your food does not supply them in sufficient amounts? There are supplements, but, they do not adequately replace a deficient diet.

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 occurs mainly because of diet and the environment. Stress also plays a role. So, if these three things can cause thyroid problems shouldn't they be included in the treatment?

In what way does the diet and the environment where you live enable hypothyroidism or another disease to develop? The vitamins and minerals that are lacking allow toxicity of the body to cause it to break down.

Is it true that the body can be healed with the right food? There are many medical and non-medical individuals who believe it is possible.

It is good information to have. There does seem to be a strong connection between the person, hypothyroidism and the food that person eats.

If your diet consists of healthy food, it will be beneficial to good health.

Eat well and be well.
