Hypothyroidism, Diet, And You

By Dr. Kevin Dobrzynski


You may already recognize a strong 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.

Your doctor should have a ready answer for the following question, what enables my body to produce thyroid hormone?

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

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.

So, how does diet and the environment lead to hypothyroidism or any condition/disease? These two things lead to vitamin and mineral deficiencies and toxicity of the body, which eventually lead to a breakdown in your body.

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.

If you eat a healthy diet you will be healthy.
