Nutrition for Sluggish Thyroid

by Sara Cook, Nutrition and Lifestyle Coach

Everyone is so busy these days, working, taking care of the kids, doing chores, and running errands that we sometimes forget about our diet. Diet should be the most important activity of our day. Diet is one of the main reasons for sluggish thyroid.

Just changing your daily diet and taking natural supplements can cure your sluggish thyroid. This simple change in diet will give you tons of energy, help you lose weight, and make you a happier person.

Here at Caring Medical, we have developed special laboratory testing. Our doctors can determine if you have a thyroid problem and put you on a proper diet, give you natural hormone replacement, and herbal supplements to return your thyroid to normal functioning. The doctor will observe your body type, have you fill out a questionnaire, and take a simple blood test. The blood test will reveal how well your body assimilates food and the pH of your blood. This test is called Diet Typing. With this information, we can give you the correct herbal supplements to take and a diet to follow so that you can become healthy again and feel a whole lot better.

The best advice to someone who has a thyroid problem is to change his or her diet. The proper diet is to cut back on thyroid stimulating foods and to increase foods that stimulate your adrenals and gonads.

People who have thyroid problems are often eating too much dairy products, fried foods, sugar, soft drinks, coffee, pasta, and white breads.

Eating these foods can cause weight gain, low energy levels, stress, and fatigue.

Over stimulating the gland with these foods along with stress can lead your thyroid to a state of exhaustion and imbalance.

Exclude simple carbohydrates from you diet, these foods are processed and refined, and they are completely unhealthy. Start eating foods that are organic and enhance thyroid function. You can find organic foods at your local natural food store. Foods such as, whole grains, brown rice, oats, seeds, egg yolks, and lots of fruit and vegetables are what you should start filling up on. Include uncooked spices to your foods. We highly recommend garlic and chili peppers. Try to find foods that are fresh. Foods that have been packaged usually contain chemical unhealthy preservatives.
