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

By Dr. Kevin Dobrzynski


You may already recognize a strong 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".

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.

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

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?

Treatment protocol should be easy to configure when the cause of a disease is known. But, modern medicine does not always use that approach. The focus is often placed on the treatment rather than the cause. I wonder if you agree.

If you know the cause of disease, the treatment should be easy to figure out. The problem with modern medicine is that there is too much focus on the treatment and not the cause, wouldn't you agree?

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.

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.

Eat well and allow your body to prosper.
