Dieting for Your Thyroid
When it comes down to it, the proper diet for our thyroid is one that has balance. We need to constantly be incorporating a healthy amount of the three major sources of macronutrients:
Proteins
Fats
Healthy Carbohydrates
The mix here is important, and by purchasing my book A survivors cookbook guide to kicking hypothyroidism booty, I will show you exactly how and what you should be working each day into your diet so that you start healing your health. Break that cycle today, start eating to cater to your thyroid and replenish your life.
Look into getting a Knowledgeable Health Practitioner:
The main reason why you should work with a knowledgeable health practitioner is its patient-centered medical healing at its best. Unfortunately when it comes to hypothyroidism there isn’t a one size fits all approach to dealing with it and often times you are left still searching for the answers to your symptoms when all you want is your zest for life back. A knowledgeable health practitioner will care for you as a individual as they won’t look at your body as a whole they will treat each individual body symptom, imbalance and dysfunction. They certainly move from the confusion of the “one size fits all treatment” approach that we know isn’t working to the one that will cater to what you body needs. Let’s not forget that each of us are a unique case and unless you get a proper thorough clinical evaluation, trying to figure what medical advise you need online is dubious at best.

The thyroid gland sits on the front of your neck and produces a hormone that impacts EVERY SINGLE CELL, TISSUE, and ORGAN in your entire body. How does it do this? The thyroid gland is responsible for maintaining your body temperature, heart rate, and controlling your metabolism. The thyroid gland is very sensitive, meaning that too much thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and too little TSH can cause detrimental effects throughout your body. You see, the hypothalamus in your brain (a very small gland that is a BIG deal) produces thyroid releasing hormone (or TRH). {When functioning properly, your thyroid gland and hypothalamus become a feedback loop that constantly keep your thyroid levels in “balance.” Think of it as a checks and balances system.} TRH stimulates the pituitary gland to release TSH. TSH stimulates the thyroid gland to actually release the actual thyroid hormones (T3 & T4). T3 & T4 levels are monitored by the pituitary gland which (based upon the amount in free circulation in the bloodstream) either increases or decreases your TRH. And the cycle continues.
So, what happens in those with hypothyroidism? Hypothyroidism is defined as underactive or a low amount of free circulating thyroid hormone (T3 & T4). When the hypothalamus releases TRH, the pituitary stimulates TSH, and T3 & T4 are released. When a person has hypothyroidism, their TSH levels will be elevated but their T3 & T4 levels will be low. These low levels will feed back to the pituitary gland, which will increase TRH, which will increase TSH, and the cycle continues. The brain (hypothalamus that releases TRH) interprets the low levels of T3 & T4 and tries to increase them by increasing TRH and TSH.
#1 Broccoli (And other cruciferous vegetables)
Kale, broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower, and cabbage are not actually “bad” for the your thyroid – but if you have hypothyroidism or a goiter it should be limited unless its thoroughly cooked . “Goitrogen’s”, can actually prevent your thyroid from getting the iodine it needs to run properly. You thyroid needs iodine to be able to convert it into hormones. Iodine is a necessity for for healthy thyroid function. If your iodine is low cruciferous veggies will contribute to your thyroid problems.
The same is true for other cruciferous vegetables like:
Cabbage
Cauliflower
Broccoli
Brussels sprouts
Bok choy
Radishes
Mustard greens
Chard
As you know, these vegetables are excellent in fighting cancer and has many other health benefits so perhaps another solution could be to eat more iodine rich foods along with your cruciferous veggies.
#2 Strawberries (And other fruits containing thiourea)
Strawberries and peaches are “mildly goitrogenic” foods and they contain thiourea.
These fruits carry the compound called thiourea, which poses the same problem as the cruciferous vegetables. As mentioned in #1, “Goitrogen’s”, can actually prevent your thyroid from getting the iodine it needs to run properly. You thyroid needs iodine to be able to convert it into hormones. Iodine is a necessity for for healthy thyroid function. If your iodine is low cruciferous veggies will contribute to your thyroid problems.
Other fruits that contain thiourea are:
Peaches
Pears
Rutabaga
#3 Soy
Brilliant marketing campaigns have lead you to believe that soy products are healthy but in fact its completely the opposite. Soy products are not healthy foods. Eating soy frequently can potentially lead to numerous other health issues.
For centuries, Asian people have been consuming fermented soy products such as natto, tempeh, and soy sauce, and enjoying the health benefits. Fermented soy does not wreak havoc on your body like unfermented soy products do.
The issue with soy is most soy today contains something called phytoestrogens, and these phytoestrogens are estrogen mimickers in the body. And so, if you’re a male consuming extra estrogen, it’s going to give you more feminine characteristics.
If you’re a woman consuming foods that increase estrogen levels, it’s going to increase your risk of breast cancer, cervical cancer, PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) and other hormone imbalance-related disorders.
Many have felt as if they needed a diary substitute since they couldn’t tolerate dairy. Actually your body was doing you a even bigger favor.
For starters, some chemicals such as isoflavones, found in soy products like soy milk or edamame, can intercept your thyroid’s ability to make hormones if you’re not getting enough iodine.
Soybeans are one of the crops that are being genetically modified. Since 1997 GMO soybeans are being used in an increasing number of products.
Dr. Kaayla Daniel, author of The Whole Soy Story, points out thousands of studies linking soy to malnutrition, digestive distress, immune-system breakdown, thyroid dysfunction, cognitive decline, reproductive disorders and infertility—even cancer and heart disease. Here is just a sampling of the health effects that have been linked to soy consumption:
Breast cancer
Brain damage
Infant abnormalities
Thyroid disorders
Kidney stones
Immune system impairment
Severe, potentially fatal food allergies
Impaired fertility
Danger during pregnancy and nursing
Final thoughts on Soy: Soy is terrible – contains trypsin inhibitors, is a source of xenoestrogens, even if it’s organic, and if it’s GMO, it also comes with a lot of glyphosate and other pesticide residues. Avoid it like the black plague.
#4 Empty Calorie Foods
Empty calorie foods are primarily made up of solid fats and/or added sugars. Foods with empty calories can add to your overall caloric intake but offer little to no nutritional value. Empty calories foods such as sweets, sodas and other sweetened beverages are a rich source of sugar. It seems these highly addictive foods taste delicious but can eventually take years off your life and add pounds to your waistline. Eating clean and loaded your body with the needed health fats would benefit your body. Organic meats are always best. Try to eat more organic beef, wild fish, eggs, free-range chicken, good quality protein powders along with avocado, coconut, nuts and seeds, real butter, raw cheese and other organic dairy products.
#5 Sugary Foods
Eating sugar is making your adrenal glands work harder. Stop indirectly making your adrenal gland producing extra cortisol to fight the excess sugar.
There’s no way to sugarcoat the truth — Americans are eating more sugar than ever before. Researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill determined that, on average, Americans are consuming 83 more calories per day from caloric sweeteners than they did in 1977. And those extra 83 calories a day turn into a whopping 2,490 calories per month.
Food
Average number of teaspoons of sugar (or equivalent) per serving
1. Soda and sweetened beverages (mostly carbonated soft drinks, but also includes fruit “drinks” and “ades” and bottled iced teas).
9 teaspoons per 12-ounce serving of soda; 12 teaspoons per 12-ounce serving of fruit drink or ade.
2. Cakes, cookies, pastries, and pies.
6 teaspoons in 1/16 of a pie or frosted cake.
3. Sugar or sugar substitute blends such as syrups, honey, molasses, and sweet toppings.
5. Frozen milk desserts (includes ice cream and frozen yogurt).
3 teaspoons per 1/2 cup.
#6 Caffeine
Caffeine adds stress to your adrenal glands and the endocrine system. caffeine will stimulate you adrenals causing them to adrenaline and cortisol in the exact same way as they do during a ‘fight or flight’ reaction. Caffeine gives you a false boost in energy before the fall to fatigue.
Your thyroid is very sensitive to stimulants. It only confuses your already overworked system.
If you must have coffee, try to limit it to one cup of coffee a day.
As for caffeinated soda, this beverage is a loaded with empty calories, a crazy amount of sugar and then top if off with the caffeine. You can purchase soda water without sodium and squeeze a lemon or lime into it.
#7 Processed Foods
Plain and simple, packaged foods have added preservatives and few nutrients. Chips, cookies, cereals, crackers — foods that come in a bag or box that have been pre-made at a facility.
Cook at home using whole ingredients as nature intended them. I understand this isn’t always possible but it’s an excellent goal to aim for.
The less you eat packaged foods made of who knows what, the more they begin to taste too salty or become unappetizing in general.
#7 Dairy and Gluten
Most people don’t realize that they have a very common food allergies to gluten and dairy. A1 casein is a protein found in cow’s milk. The A1 casein and gluten both can cause Leaky Gut Syndrome . This will increase inflammation and tax your already low hormone producing thyroid gland. When you have a “Leaky gut” it allows particles to leak from your digestive tract and travel freely through your bloodstream. This puts your immune system on high alert to neutralize all of these threats. After awhile of the constant abuse from your leaky gut and eventually puts your body in a state of chronic inflammation and next setting you on the path to develop an autoimmune disease where your immune system becomes so stressed and confused that it begins attacking your own tissue by mistake. So the next time you go to eat that cheeseburger keep in mind that since you have a leaky gut that was originally caused by gluten and dairy consumption, your willingly allowing their proteins to travel freely into your bloodstream, where they trigger an attack from your immune system. I use ghee for cooking very frequently. The clarifying process also removes casein. I also use coconut milk. In my research, These are a safer way to eat dairy if you must any type of raw dairy – milk, butter, cheese, cream, sour cream, cream cheese, ice cream, heavy cream, yogurt and any type of pasteurized grass-fed dairy of cream, butter, and ghee.
So what’s good for my thyroid health?
So, all this gloom and doom about what foods hinder thyroid function — what about those that promote this important butterfly shaped gland?
let’s get this thyroid to function properly and by doing so you will need a mixture of vitamins and minerals, which you can get from the following foods.
8 Foods That Promote Healthy Thyroid Function
Ocean fish and sea vegetables are both an excellent source of iodine. Iodine is key in producing adequate amounts of thyroid hormone. It helps in balancing the metabolism — the process of converting food to energy.
Nuts are loaded with nutrients and protein. Since many of them also contain the antioxidant selenium, I often recommend them for my thyroid patients. Selenium protects your immune system and thyroid, while aiding in the process of converting iodine from food into a usable nutrient. Brazil nuts have the highest concentration of selenium.
Carrots and sweet potatoes are packed with vitamin A, which boosts the immune system. Since many thyroid disorders result in autoimmune disorders such as Hashimoto’s or Graves’ disease, vitamin A is a must-have.
Organic dairy is an easy way to consume your body’s much-needed amount of vitamin D. This vitamin is crucial in maintaining healthy cells that allow for stable thyroid function. Organic dairy also contains optimal amounts of calcium, protein, and iodine.
Beans are chock-full of nutrients that your body craves. In addition to iodine, they are rich in fiber, which helps to stop constipation, a common problem with thyroid malfunction.
Organic beef is loaded with zinc. Like iodine, zinc aids in the process of producing thyroid hormones. Zinc deficiencies can, in turn, prevent the body from making the proper amount of hormones needed for energy.
Bananas contain magnesium, which almost all of my patients need more of. Low levels of magnesium spell trouble for a previously functional thyroid and since so many people are low on this nutrient, upping their daily intake is often an easy fix for regaining energy.
Tomatoes are an excellent source of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) and vitamins. MSM contains a specific bioavailable sulfur, which is a compound that promotes thyroid function.

8 thoughts on “5 Reasons Armour Thyroid isn’t Helping you lose Weight”
Rae OBrien-dAndreI was on Armour Thyroid and gained 4 lbs. My Dr switched me today to Synthroid. After reading up on it… I’m not sure it’s going to help. I have such extreme daytime sleepiness that I am also on Provigil…. again… gained 4 lbs. And I am still exhausted. So discouraged.
thehypothyroidismchick Post authorWhen it comes to your medication unfortunately its all trial, error and blood work. Armour made me gain 30lbs in 2 months and I had all the bad side effects. Many people find that they are allergic to the fillers in these medications that is why the need to switch until you find what works for you. You can always speak with your pharmacist prior to getting your prescription filled to see what are the ingredients. How do you know you have had a bad reaction to your thyroid medication? it’s not working for you but against you. Also, are you eating to cater to your body? I have no idea about your medical past nor am I a doctor but if you have a food intolerance or if you’re not eating to cater to your body’s specific needs you will gain weight. Those 4lbs you gained could be hormonal, water weight? It can be a number of reasons why you gained that weight. This is why I always recommend people work with a Holistic health practitioner. They can help you discover the right nutritional path for your body’s complexity. They will help you get to the root of your health issues and start helping you heal yourself from the main underlying issues. There is no one size fits all program when you are dealing with hypothyroidism. I hope my information has helped you in some sort of way and I would like to know your progress. Many Blessings to you, Audrey
MarieI started 90 mg of Armour (although my pharmacy gives me NP as a “generic”) about 8 weeks ago. Tried Levo first and felt AWFUL. I feel better on Armour, but for the past few weeks I have been having symptoms of hyperthyroidism: racing heart, pounding pulse, diarrhea, anxiety, irritability. I don’t have tons of weight to lose, but would like to lose about 10 pounds. My weight hasn’t gone anywhere. Any thoughts?
thehypothyroidismchick Post authorIf you haven’t already call your doctor immediately and be seen or if they can’t see you asap let the nurse know exactly what is going on with your body. They will need to check your blood work again and perhaps lower your dosage. The reason why your not losing weight could be a number of things ranging from food intolerances, medications, not exercising, eating crappy foods, drinking empty calorie foods and this is just to name a few. I’m sorry that its is so vague but I don’t know you, your body history nor how you live your daily life. A number of things can be the reason why you are going through what you are going through with your health. It could be a wide range of things from celiac disease, Hashimoto’s, leaky gut, autoimmune disease disorder, nutrient deficiency’s, adrenal fatigue, exposure to chemicals, gluten or other food allergies, and hormonal imbalance. Your body can be influenced by many different circumstances. When I am working with my clients there is a series of questions they answer and we interact verbally.

Good luck,

MarieHi, thank you so much for getting back to me! Yes, I understand it would be very hard for you to give me the exact information without seeing me as a patient. I did call my doctor and he ordered bloodwork a few days ago. Hoping to have the results in today. I exercise almost every day and eat a healthy diet (for the most part!) I don’t drink my calories at all, no soda or coffee drinks, etc. I do not have celiac’s disease.
I guess I was wondering if you thought it would be beneficial for me to have my overall Armour dosage lowered but to try some t3 added to my regimen?
thehypothyroidismchick Post authorHonestly, I tried Armour and couldn’t take it. I had every bad side effect it seemed. In the short time span that I did take it my weight sky rocketed. I am 5″7 and I have always been between 140-148lbs because I eat to cater to my health and I practice yoga walk plus my little mini indoor trampoline . You might not even need the extra T3. My numbers are perfect currently except for the occasional “TSH” that may get a little bit high but I can always manage to bring that back down with avoiding things that trigger it. Some people have tried to just take a regular T4 like Synthroid then take a separate T3 like Cytomel. but this can be difficult because if you have an untreated adrenal insufficiency it would make things worse actually and this is what happened to me.. Make sure you look at your blood work #’s and read them .
Normal Ranges for you blood work
-TSH- (range .034 – 4.82)
-Free- T4 (range 0.59 – 1.17)
-Total -T4 (range 4.5 – 12.0)
-Total- T3 (range 71 – 180)
thehypothyroidismchick Post authorLook into getting a Knowledgeable Holistic Health Practitioner
The main reason why you should work with a knowledgeable health practitioner is its patient-centered medical holistic healing at its best.
A knowledgeable holistic health practitioner certainly moves from the confusion of the “one size fits all treatment” approach that we know isn’t working to the one that will cater to what your body needs.
Hopefully you can find one in your area.

Unfortunately when it comes to hypothyroidism there isn’t a one size fits all approach to dealing with it and often times you are left still searching for the answers to your symptoms when all you want is your zest for life back.

They certainly move from the confusion of the “one size fits all treatment” approach that we know isn’t working to the one that will cater to what you body needs.

Too much of these adrenal hormones can cause you to have:
Anxiety and nervousness, heart palpitations, high blood pressure, headaches, insomnia
irritability, low sex drive, shaky, allergies and pure exhaustion.
Many of us find ourselves in this cycle of so much responsibility that at times it seems impossible to manage. We are over worked and the chronic stress is breaking us down. We load up on caffeine to get us going in the morning, sugary snacks in the afternoon for that slump, a glass of wine in the evenings to unwind , and let’s not mention the sleep aids to help with our insomnia. All of this abuse on our bodies is disrupting our body’s normal rhythms. We are throwing ourselves into a world wind of constant exhaustion, malnutrition, ripple moments of burnouts, personality changes, and hormonal imbalances.
The walnut size gland called your adrenal has an enormous job. It produces many hormones that will regulate our body’s functions including a major player called cortisol. If we have to much cortisol our body will stay in a heightened state of emergency and after time it will start to break down. Since our adrenal glands can’t tell the difference between us stressed out or if its a true emergency it will continue to do its job.
If our cortisol levels are staying elevated, it begins to interfere with many other area’s of our body which are the immune system, digestion, sleep, and even the ability to produce other essential hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and YES you named it last but not least our THYROID. So this can explain if your getting sick more often, upset stomach, heart burn, can’t sleep for long periods of time or you need help with going to sleep. What about that muffin top that you have hanging around your midsection? Could be a build of all the extra cortisol your adrenals are producing. This is where its stored in your abdominal fat.
Here are 9 Things You can Do To Give Your a Adrenals A Reboot:
1.Never skip Breakfast
We must fuel our bodies with the right foods try a vegetable omelet cooked in coconut oil, a smoothie, gluten free oatmeal with chia seeds and topped with blueberries.
2. Cut out sugar (including natural sugars)
Are you having sugar cravings? Eating sugar is making your adrenal glands work harder. Stop indirectly making your adrenal gland producing extra cortisol to fight the excess sugar.
3.Eat more clean proteins and healthy fats
Eating clean and loaded your body with the needed health fats would benefit your body. Organic meats are always best. Try to eat more beef, wild fish, eggs, free-range chicken, good quality protein powders along with avocado, coconut, nuts and seeds, real butter, raw cheese and other organic dairy products.
5.Cut out the caffeine
Caffeine adds stress to your adrenal glands and the endocrine system. caffeine will stimulate you adrenals causeing them to adrenaline and cortisol in the exact same way as they do during a ‘fight or flight’ reaction.
6.Stay hydrated
Staying well hydrated is super important no matter what. Add a little Himalayan sea salt and freshly squeezed lemon to your water glass in the morning.
7.Eat bone broth and seaweed
Bone broth has been proven to reduce inflammation and boost the immune system. It is easy on our digestive system where we can absorb the essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids that it provides. Seaweed is rich in minerals and phytonutrients that is much needed for our thyroid. Sprinkle a little kelp or dulse flakes on your broth.
8.Start Eating Fermented foods
Fermented foods are really great for your immune system and gives your digestive health a must needed boost of ‘good bacteria’ .
9.Strengthen Your Gut with a Quality Probiotic
Probiotic supplements are a convenient way to deliver additional beneficial bacteria to the gut because they don’t require any cooking or meal planning.
10. Avoid empty calorie foods
Cakes, cookies, pastries, sodas, cheese, pizza, sports drinks, ice cream, hot dogs and bacon, all contain empty calories. Your body needs fuel and fuel comes from food in the form of calories. Calories let you function and keep doing your everyday activities. Foods with empty calories have lots of calories but very few nutrients like vitamins and minerals.
The best foods for a Adrenal Reboot are:
Organ meats (e.g. liver)
Fish- never farmed fish
Organic meats (e.g. beef, chicken)
Eggs- high quality
Low sugar fruits
Vegetables
Beans
Whole, gluten free sprouted grains like quinoa and wild rice
Avocado
Nuts and seeds
Organic dairy products
The worst foods for a Adrenal Reboot are:
High sugar fruits
Sugary snacks
Fast food
Processed foods
Refined grains (e.g. white bread)
Dried fruits
Coffee

Hypothyroidism means your thyroid is not making enough thyroid hormone. That little butterfly-shaped gland in the front of your throat makes the hormones that helps to regulate our metabolism. You know the hormones that control the way our bodies uses energy? Basically, that butterfly-shaped gland tells all the cells in our bodies how busy they should be.
Every Cell in your body responds to the foods we eat, the products that we put on our body to the house hold chemicals that we purchase for our homes. All of these things have a direct impact on our hormones and in return our hormones have a direct impact on every major system in our body. Not to mention that our body is lacking certain nutrients that heavily influence the function of every cell in our body. The foods that we consume, oh, the foods we consume.
Food is medicine. I really can’t say it any more simple than that. There is a major disconnect between what YOU believe to be healthy foods and what research tells us is healthy. In fact, many of the health foods today that people go out of their way to eat daily are extremely thyroid suppressive.
The 5 Most Important Nutrients to Start Healing Your Hypothyroidism
We have 5 that we must start eating everyday but 3 that need to go.
Soy
Gluten
Avoid heavy metals
Through environmental exposure from:
Water from copper pipes
Copper cookware
Fungicide- and pesticide-laden foods
Copper IUDs (ParaGard)
Natural metal detoxers are: A pretty easy fix to start including.
Chlorella: considered to be one of the best detoxifiers and is able to remove heavy metals, pesticides, and PCBs from body tissues
Chlorophyll: good at binding to heavy metals and removing; it’s because of its high level of chlorophyll that chlorella got its name
Garlic: widely, historically used to remove metals; 3-5 fresh, raw cloves daily is beneficial; wait 10 min. after cutting or crushing garlic to cook or eat raw to allow the allicin (organosulfur compound) to develop
The rinds of grapefruit, lemons and limes: pectin from the rinds has lead to dramatic detoxing in clinical trials
1.High Iodine foods
Every cell in your body needs iodine and you thyroid alone uses 60% of it. Your body cannot make iodine, so it a necessity that you include it in your everyday diet. Bottom line is if you do not have enough iodine in your body, your won’t be able to make enough thyroid hormone.
Seaweed- Is one of the richest sources of iodine. Also includes Kelp, Arame, Hiziki, Kombu, and Wakame.
Eggs- Whole eggs contain almost every essential vitamin and mineral our bodies need to function properly, including iodine. Eggs are one of the few natural food sources of vitamin D, which helps keep bones healthy by encouraging calcium absorption.
Himalayan sea salt- This Sea salt contains traces of minerals like magnesium, calcium and traces of other minerals
Cod – 3-ounce serving of cod will cover two-thirds of your daily needs.
Shrimp, Tuna, Prunes, Cheddar Cheese, Lima bean, pea’s, banana’s, organic navy beans, pineapple, onion and artichokes.
2. Selenium
Selenium works together with iodine and along with vitamin E to help prevent oxidative damage in your body. It also helps iodine regulate your metabolism and improves overall cellular protection by helping recycle vitamin C in the body. This powerful anti-oxidant is needed to create glutathione in your bodd which is the master of all antioxidanst. This mineral not only works as a detox but it helps support a healthy liver and thyroid.
Omega-3 fatty acids can help “decrease inflammation and help with immunity” and support your thyroid. In addition, some studies have indicated that omega-3 fatty acids can increase thyroid hormone. Never ever eat farmed fish they usually contains high concentrations of antibiotics, pesticides and metals.
Copper is an essential trace mineral for bone health, connective tissue health, cardiovascular health, lipid metabolism, neurological health, and skin health according to Dr. Amy Myers.
Stress causes overproduction of two adrenal hormones – adrenaline and cortisol. And excess cortisol can deplete copper.
Healthy adrenals produce a copper-binding protein. But if the adrenals are dysregulated/fatigued/weakened, this binding protein wanes, in which case the adrenals are unable to bind copper, leading to copper excess.
Iron plays an essential role in your body. Its seems to be a very common deficiency when you have hypothyroidism. Iron produces a key antioxidant in your body called catalase which protects your cells from free radicals and it breaks down the hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen that is produced by different reactions in our bodies. If your body has a toxic build up of hydrogen peroxide it can kill you. Read more about iron and your thyroid when you click on this link.

Now that your starting to be curious and eat to cater to your thyroid. Don’t feel you have to totally give up on foods you love. Cooking actually isn’t very hard. You can put together some simple meals very easily — often in less time than it takes to get take-out food, and definitely in less time than it takes to go out to eat. If you learn to cook yourself, you can have control of the ingredients, and once you get the hang of it, it often tastes a lot better, too!
Healthy food doesn’t have to be boring!
It is definitely a struggle to switch your eating habits, and takes time to find new ways to spice up healthy foods-but it’s not impossible. There are so many foods out there that can kick your craving for the ‘unhealthy’ foods.
Processed foods and sugar influence our taste buds and when you stop eating those things on a regular basis, other foods actually start to taste better.
Be creative and experiment!
This is eating clean at the very best!

I don’t know where to start
Hang in there. This wont happen overnight.
I know, there is so much information overload that most people are confused as to where to start. You can start by taking ownership of your health. I wanted you to understand or get a idea of how everything has a part to play in your body. I am on a path to help you, lead you and inform you through this terrible illness. Being diagnosed with hypothyroidism isn’t just here take this pill and it will fix your issues. Hypothyroidism has a root cause. Once you start addressing the root of your problems then your body can start healing itself. Your body is an awesome design but there is a complex balance between everything. It’s a domino affect. If you have something in your body that is overworked it will cause a major shift in your body. Don’t worry the good news is it can be healed.
Sometimes we have to do a little pruning of the branches, in order for the tree to be healthy again. A number of things can be the reason why you have hormonal imbalances, food intolerances, thyroid issues, adrenal fatigue, weight gain, insomnia, personality changes, leaky gut, depression, an autoimmune disorder, chronic pain, no metabolism and low sex drive, bloating, anxiety, menstrual problems and infertility. It starts with becoming aware and how your health can be influenced by many different circumstances.
How would you define good health? Logically one would define good health as absence of a disease or following some sort of ground rules that avoid developing a disease. This book can help you begin to understand what a Keto Autoimmune protocol is and start guiding you in the redevelopment and healing of your body. You will begin to understand how to fix your gut, strengthen your immunity and fight inflammation with an autoimmune approach. The Keto AIP removes all the common inflammatory food triggers that stimulate a possible autoimmune reaction in the body. Along with helping to reset those adrenals, boosting that energy and doing a little ass kicking to those hormones that have decided to act like a wild college student and pull an all-nighter the day before final exams.
Your health doesn’t have to be a difficult situation but a positive realization that things need to change. This new lifestyle change has many parts to it and I hope you will embrace not only the physical but the spiritual awakening. Common food intolerances that are known to trigger inflammation are eliminated in this Keto AIP protocol are Nightshades, Eggs, Grains (gluten), Dairy, Legumes, Corn, Soy, Dairy and lectins.

Iron plays an essential role in your body. Its seems to be a very common deficiency when you have hypothyroidism. Iron produces a key antioxidant in your body called catalase which protects your cells from free radicals and it breaks down the hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen that is produced by different reactions in our bodies. If your body has a toxic build up of hydrogen peroxide it can kill you.
Iron has important blood proteins such as hemoglobin that transports the red blood cells. Hemoglobin safely delivers carbon dioxide from the lungs and oxygen to your lungs. This is why when our iron is low you seem to experience shortness of breath. Your not getting enough oxygen . It also can cause heart palpitations, anxiety, cold feet, fatigue, foggy thinking, poor memory, joint pain, headaches and chest pain. When you don’t have enough oxygen being properly transported to the rest of the body.
The Thyroid Requires Several Nutrients, Not Just Iron
Most people with hypothyroidism have digestive issues as-well. Say your eating perfectly and catering to all the area’s of your body. Everything to keep you healthy, everything your body is lacking and needs but if your gut isn’t right then you won’t be able to absorb the needed minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, vitamin A, selenium, Vitamin D, iodine and magnesium. This is why I included a Gut-Healing Vegetable Broth Recipe.
We must also include foods that are rich in vitamin C. Vitamin C greatly increases the absorption rate of iron in the body. So, I wanted us to get the most out of this Iron rich veggie bowl recipe. I also included foods that are rich in vitamin c like roasted red bell pepper, asparagus and garlic.
Whole foods that are rich in iron are far superior than just taking taking an iron supplement to boost your iron levels. You always need to know your ferritin levels before you start any kind of iron supplement. If you would like to read more on iron disorders check out The website of Iron Disorders Institute (IDI) can also provide answers www.IronDisorders.org.
Iron Rich Salmon & Roasted Vegetable Bowl
Ingredients 4 servings
6 cups cubed ( ½-inch) peeled root vegetables, such as potatoes, roasted bell peppers, asparagus, turnips, carrots and beets
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
¾ teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
½ teaspoon salt, divided
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard
1 teaspoon minced anchovy fillet or paste
8 cups mixed salad greens
2 6- to 7-ounce cans boneless, skinless wild Alaskan salmon, drained and flaked
2 scallions, sliced
Preparation
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Toss root vegetables in a large bowl with 1 tablespoon oil, ½ teaspoon pepper and ¼ teaspoon salt. Spread in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes. Stir and continue roasting until soft and golden brown in spots, 13 to 15 minutes more.
Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, vinegar, garlic, mustard, anchovy and the remaining ¼ teaspoon each pepper and salt in a large bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the dressing in small bowl. Add the salad greens to the large bowl and toss to combine; divide among 4 dinner plates.
When the vegetables are done, transfer them to the large bowl and gently combine with the reserved dressing, salmon and scallions. Top the greens with the salmon and vegetables.
Make Ahead Tip: Prepare the dressing (Step 3), cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
Cut Down on Dishes: A rimmed baking sheet is great for everything from roasting to catching accidental drips and spills. For effortless cleanup and to keep your baking sheets in tip-top shape, line them with a layer of foil before each use.
Simply add everything to a large pot. Bring to a boil then simmer, with the lid on, for about an hour.
Once everything has been cooked down, strain the liquid into a large bowl.
Serve immediately with some fresh herbs, for decoration or cool for later. It also freezes well.
