The Hypothyroidism/diet Link

By Dr. Kevin Dobrzynski


Is it possible that there is a hypothyroid diet connection?

If you ask your doctor this question he or she will most likely answer no.

However, to really understand the connection between hypothyroidism and diet you have to look for the cause of hypothyroidism, which most doctors don't do.



Unfortunately, there are only two things that most doctors focus on and this is diagnosis and treatment.

You may be asking yourself, 'isn't diagnosis the same as looking for the cause'

The truthful answer to this is no.

Diagnosis is a label. This helps doctors and insurance companies categorize illness. This illness is then assigned a number or code.

If you don't have a code, you don't get paid.

I want to share a secret - once you have this information, you will have a better understanding of what causes physical dis-ease.

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's your answer...

The most common cause of hypothyroidism worldwide is iodine deficiency.

An iodine deficiency is caused by a insufficient quantities of this mineral in a person's eating patterns.

This happens to be a link between dietary habits and hypothyroidism.

So, the solution to hypothyroidism in underdeveloped countries is to add iodine to the diet.

Residents of the U. S. Are unable to use iodine to treat hypothyroidism.

This may help if you're deficient.

Iodine may not help you because the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the U.S. is Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. This is an autoimmune disorder, which the cause is unknown.

Diet is also a major part of the a Hashimoto's treatment however, because this is a disease that results from diet and the environment.

We will talk more about nutrition and Hashimoto's in future articles.

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

If hypothyroidism is some that you suffer from, pay attention to your diet and nutritional deficiencies because your doctor probably won't.

Consider reading the book The Hypothyroid Diet.

Be well,

Doctor Kevin Dobrzynski
