The Hypothyroidism/diet Link

By Dr. Kevin Dobrzynski


Is there a hypothyroid diet connection?

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

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.



Unfortunately, a lot of doctors are focused on only two things...diagnosis and treatment.

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

The answer to this question 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 are not in possession of a code, you cannot get paid.

I'm going to share a secret with you - and once you know it, you'll understand the cause of dis-ease of the body.

If you know the cause of a condition the treatment should be easy, right?

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

Now, if you should ask your doctor what commonly causes hypothyroidism, you should be able to get an answer.

Here's your answer...

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.

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

But if you happen to live in the United States, this is not a problem that can be fixed by simply adding more iodine to your diet.

This may help if you're deficient.

Iodine is not likely to be effective because the most common cause of this issues in the United States is Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. This is classified as an autoimmune disorder and it does not have a known cause.

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

Hashimoto's and diet will be discussed in a future article.

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

If you suffer from this ailment, place your focus on nutritional deficiencies as this is not something that many doctors do.

Consider reading the book The Hypothyroid Diet.

Stay Well,

Dr. Kevin Dobrzynski
