way to support your thyroid. Many of us spend much of our lives dieting in a yo-yo cycle of feasting or fasting. This is NOT consistency and leads to a confused metabolism and more weight gain.
- Clean up your diet. Whole foods are best. Take a high quality multivitamin-mineral supplement that includes iodine and selenium. These 2 are powerful thyroid supporters. Also look for zinc, iron, and copper.
- Eat your meals and snacks at regular times, and be sure to eat breakfast within an hour of waking up. Missing meals or snacks can stress your thyroid.
- Include protein at every meal, as well as fiber for breakfast and lunch. Remember that good sources of fiber include fruits and vegetables, not just grains.
- Completely eliminate gluten, sugar/sweeteners, alcohol, and junk food. These ingredients can interfere with healthy thyroid function.
- Learn which foods contain thyroid-suppressing compounds known as “goitrogens” — including cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower. If you suspect thyroid problems, steam or cook these vegetables to reduce or eliminate the goitrogens.Bonus: these foods also help lower estrogen levels if that’s an imbalance you struggle with.
If you haven’t had a recent thyroid evaluation, it may be time to get tested. Blood tests are the best way to do this. A COMPLETE thyroid panel will include a TSH, free T3, free T4, TPO and reverse T3 measurements. Ask your provider about getting all of these. Many lab panels include ONLY a TSH and that’s not enough for a complete evaluation.
