The Hypothyroidism/diet Link

By Dr. Kevin Dobrzynski


Is there a link between hypothyroidism and diet?

Most doctors will usually say no to this question if asked.

In order to fully understand the link between what you eat and hypothyroidism, however, you have to consider the cause of hypothyroidism, which is not something that many doctors do.



Sadly, many doctors spend their time focusing on just two things - diagnosing and treating the issue.

You might find yourself asking, "Aren't diagnosis and identifying the cause the same thing?"

The truthful answer to this is no.

Diagnosis is essentially a label. Doctors and insurers use these to categorize health problems. A health issues is then given a special code or number.

If a doctor doesn't have this code, the doctor cannot get paid.

I've got a secret I want to share with you and once you've heard it, you will know a lot more about what causes disease.

Treating a condition should be easy, once you know its cause, right?

95% of all dis-ease is due to diet and the environment.

Now, if you want your doctor to tell you what the top cause of hypothyroidism is, this professional should be able to give you an answer.

Here is the answer that you seek...

Throughout the world iodine deficiency is the most common cause of hypothyroidism.

Iodine deficiency is due to a lack of this mineral in the diet.

This is one link between Hypothyroidism and diet.

Thus, the solution to this illness in third-world countries is to simply add more iodine to the individual's eating plan.

Unfortunately, if you live in the U.S. you can't fix hypothyroidism by simply adding iodine.

This may help if you're deficient.

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is the top cause of hypothyroidism in the U. S, which is way iodine is not likely to help. This disorder is autoimmune and its cause is not yet known.

However, the treatment for Hashimoto's should also include diet, because the cause of most dis-ease is the environment and diet.

We will discuss Hashimoto's and dietary habits more in another article.

You now know the cause of most dis-ease and one link between hypothyroidism and diet.

If have hypothyroidism, focus on diet and deficiencies because most doctors don't do this.

Take some time to read The Hypothyroid Diet.

Be well,
