Just a quick update to let you know that the thyroid protocol I recently posted about is working (Click HERE to read)!!! I have enjoyed reading all of the wonderful comments you left on the post.
I went to the doctor to get my blood test results and my levels look much better…we are not there yet, but we are making definite progress!!! My doctor wants me to keep doing what I have been doing and I couldn’t agree more. I will retest in 4 months to see how everything is progressing.
I am so happy that the nutritional protocol is helping vs. having to increase my thyroid medication more.
This is GREAT news. Pumping our bodies full of unnecessary medication is the pits! Eating right for each person’s body is the key ingredient to optimal health. I am so happy to hear that just a few tweaks to your diet is doing the trick!
Me too! I am always happy to put the work in if it means I can try to help solve the problem as naturally as possible.
GREAT news!! Keep it up!
I am SO happy for you! Sending you happy healthy thyroid wishes
Thank you so much!
Yay Grettie!
Pingback: ME & MY THYROID – We’ve Been Battling | VEGGIE GRETTIE
Just diagnosed with hypothyroid, which my mom has suffered from years. I am so grateful for your info on foods to avoid and food to assist in a “better thyroid”. I haven’t had to have meds increased, but WHY NOT start eating to assist my thyroid in being better. I had been eating a lot of soy, tempeh etc. so now I know to limit those. Thank you! And await more great news from you. Thanks for what you do.
That’s a great attitude to take…why not! Love it.
Best of luck to you and thank you for your kind words.
I have had hypothyroid for 20 years and just started to have a lot of problems and found out that I have too much Reverse T3. This is a common problem but doctors don’t check for it. Everyone should have this checked on a regular basis along with the THS,T4 & Free T3. Here is a video http://heal-thyself.ning.com/video/got-hashimoto-s-thyroiditis He talks about how Hashimoto suffers should not eat iodine it makes it worse.
I was diagnosed with hypothyroid recently and immediately put on levothyroxine. Without a short time frame my body reacted quite unpleasantly to that medication and I am hoping that if I improve my vegan diet by adding the foods you suggested that I can reverse my thyroid naturally. Has your thyroid still been improving? Hope you are doing wonderful and would love any feedback/updates on the symptoms you have/have not decreased. Thank you so much!!
Hi Alicia,
I am glad to report that my thyroid is doing great. I still take the same dose of compounded T3/T4 I took before, which is good news because we thought we would have to increase the dose. Making the dietary changes made it so my thyroid is now functioning well without having to increase my meds. My weight is back to where I like it to be (I had gained 5-7 pounds despite having a great lowfat vegan diet…so I knew my thyroid was out of wack!) and I am feeling well.
Best of luck to you!
