All health starts with a whole food nutrition template. By focusing on the most nutrient dense foods you will be consuming many of the cofactors that your body needs to make thyroid hormones, which will be nourishing the delicate balance within the HPT axis. As a reminder:
Thyroid Cofactors:
- Iodine
- Selenium
- Zinc
- Vitamin D
- Preformed Vitamin A
- Iron
- Tyrosine
What you specifically need depends on your unique requirements, much of which can be ascertained from adequate pathology testing.
And remember, you thyroid is simply the target of a loaded gun and in the case of autoimmunity, a dysfunctional immune system. In addition to nutrient deficiencies, please always consider your root causes of:
- Stress
- Inflammation
- Extreme Calorie Restriction
- High Estrogen
- Environmental Toxicants
- Gut Dysbiosis
- Coeliac Disease
- Stealth Infections
