Discuss With Your Physician The Connection Between Hypothyroidism, Diet, And You

By Dr. Kevin Dobrzynski


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

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.

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

Here's a question you should ask your doctor... "How does my body make 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.

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 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?

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.

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.

Many more complex issues occur concurrently when disease strikes. But, is it a possibility that certain foods can heal your body? I think yes.

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

If you eat a healthy diet you will be healthy.
