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.



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

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

The answer to this question 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 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.

When you know what's causing a problem it should be easy to treat, right?

Diet and environment are the cause of 95% of disease.

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

Here is the answer that you seek...

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

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.

In countries that are underdeveloped, the simply solution to this issues is to add more iodine to a person's eating regimen.

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.

Proper eating is a necessary part of the treatment for Hashimoto's given that environment and food is the most common cause of disease in general.

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

Now you have a better idea of what causes most forms of disease and one known link between diet and hypothyroidism.

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

Think about reading The Hypothyroid Diet.

Stay Well,
