Hypothyroidism, Diet, And You

By Dr. Kevin Dobrzynski


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

I remain very confused about how most physicians do not confirm a connection between the food you eat and the condition of hypothyroidism. It is a mystery how he or she can blame diet as you struggle against gaining weight and dealing with symptoms.

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".

Move on to another physician for help if a fast and clear answer is not forthcoming. Your doctor should quickly answer, explaining that the body makes thyroid hormone by concentrating iodine and tyrosine.

Next you should ask where your body gets the iodine and tyrosine. The doctor should reply it comes from your diet.

Now, your body does need additional nutrients to make thyroid hormone other than the two I mentioned. I'm just using them as an example, and they are the most important nutrients. Your body also requires copper, zinc, selenium, magnesium, manganese, vitamin A, and B vitamins to create and convert thyroid hormone.

The environment and food intake are what cause hypothyroidism to occur. A stressful existence plays a part as well. Why then, if these are able to cause thyroid problems, should they not be a part of the treatment?

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.

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.

Eat well and be well.
