What might be the BEST, HEALTHY, LOW-IODINE Graves’ Disease DIET? Do you know what your thyroid is craving for?

What do you need to eat, if you want to heal your Hyperthyroidism or Graves’ Disease and BE Healthy again? 

I am a Graves’ Disease survivor.

I also know that there are many factors that may contribute to your Hyperthyroidism and Graves’ Disease and some of them of course are FOOD, DRINKS, HERBS or generally Graves’ Disease DIET!

Because the truth is- it is important what you eat and what you drink, if you are suffering from Graves’ disease, Hyperthyroidism, goiter or thyrotoxicosis in general.

Just for the last calendar year I have received over 5 765 emails from people suffering from Graves’ Disease or Hyperthyroidism, telling me about their symptoms, life stories, asking for advice about Graves’ Disease diet or just saying thank you for the information.

There were a lot of emails from people asking what foods are good and what foods to avoid, what diet to follow in order  to help NATURALLY their Hyperthyroidism or Graves’ Disease condition?  Needless to say, you can’t find any information about this on Internet. There are pieces of advice here and there, sometimes contradictory, which leave the suffering people even more confused.

As you probably already know, I had  terrible Graves’ Disease some years ago too. Luckily, I don’t have that any more. I know also that I worked hard, and I am still doing that to keep myself healthy. It wasn’t an easy path to go.

I recall, looking for such information as well, when I was sick with Graves’ Disease. Even though I never was on a special diet, during the past few years I have learned a lot about healing foods and dangerous foods.

Food can make you sick (as in Hamburger thyrotoxicosis) and others of course can help your healing process (like vegetables from Brassica family).

Due to all these demand of such an information, I decided to make available to you all that I know about  Hyperthyroidism diet or Graves’ Disease diet, what foods are best for you, what to eat and what to avoid, what to drink or not….

It seems that the books I wrote so far helped many people:

I also realized that the information I share in my first book “Life Manual for Graves’ Disease and Hyperthyroidism”, especially for diet is not enough. I didn’t have the knowledge or experience to write more, unfortunately. Even though I believe that proper diet counts for about 25% of the whole healing process, it still deserves its attention.

The main purpose of this new book is not only to give you HOPE. It’s a book to tell you that besides all known medications, RAI and surgery – there are many other ways to help your health condition. And of them is your DIET ! What you eat and don’t eat may have a tremendous impact on your health.

We are what we eat, there is no doubt about that.

I also share many cases of other people, who were able to change how they feel, and cure their hyperthyroidism just by avoiding certain foods, ingredients and substances (especially when it comes to Aspartame). Is that possible? You’ll see that this is possible, by all means. I know that from personal experience.

I experimented and tried so many things, foods, recipes, herbs and I continue to do this, even today. My life became a small laboratory for Alternative Therapies and experiments in life style and I am opening this laboratory for you today. And here is your journey to a REASONABLE, BALANCED, LOW IODINE, THYROID FRIENDLY DIET….So here are my Graves’ Disease and Hyperthyroidism diet suggestions:

Goitrogenous foods & Cruciferous vegetables- will they help your hyperthyroidism? 

Many patients suffering with thyroid problems believe that eating the right foods or avoiding the wrong ones will bring them cure. But is that true?

Let me tell you a secret: no matter how much broccoli you will eat the next 24 hours it will not cure your hyperthyroidism overnight! But truth to be told, maintaining a proper diet in a long-term run can cut a lot of your symptoms, can help your immune system, and also can adjust the levels of the overactive thyroid gland.  Basically, it will improve in a natural way the performance of your thyroid! That’s for sure!

The question about goitrogenous foods and cruciferous vegetables, if they are helpful for hyperthyroidism or not, is still debatable all over Internet. And I just hate when doctors say: “Your diet has nothing to do with your disease, you can eat everything and as much as you want”. Really? Because junk food is not a healthy food! And some scientific research has indeed shown that goitrogenic vegetables affect your thyroid gland and thyroid hormones: it was found for example that  “after chronic radish feeding, increased weight of thyroid gland, decreased thyroid peroxidase activity, reduced thyroid hormone profiles and elevated level of thyrotropin were observed resembling a relative state of hypoactive thyroid gland in comparison to control even after supplementation of adequate iodine.”

Chandra AK, Mukhopadhyay S, Ghosh D, Tripathy S. Effect of radish (Raphanus sativus Linn.) on thyroid status under conditions of varying iodine intake in rats. Indian J Exp Biol. 2006 Aug; 44(8):653-61. PubMed PMID: 16924836

The role of goitrogens is to “inhibit naturally the excessive thyroid hormone” and to help the adjustment of the thyroid hormone levels in the blood stream. My personal experience and research in the past 11 years show that yes, goitrogens are good for us! Let me tell you how and why!

Food is very powerful- it can make you sick, or it can nourish you, we all know that.  People say that “you are what you eat” and I can not agree more with that statement! As Hippocrates said: 

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”

So let’s go back and find out what food can act as medication and why!

What are goitrogens? 

Goitrogens are foods that act very much like the most popular anti-thyroid medication (PTU or Methimazole let’s say). They have two major substances that appear to affect the thyroid function. These substances are called isoflavones and  isothiocyanates and apparently, they reduce thyroid function by blocking the thyroid peroxidase hormone, thus, naturally decrease the thyroid hormone overproduction. 

Isoflavones are typically found in their highest quantities in legumes and especially soy products,  including tofu and soy milk. The chemical structure of isoflavones is very similar to that of estrogen, and they also have antioxidant properties. However, soy and soy products are not generally recommended for hyperthyroidism diet, as they could be genetically modified, and may cause more harm then benefit.  

Isothiocyanates, on the other side, can be found in the so called “cruciferous vegetables”. Cruciferous vegetables (or Brassica vegetables) are also called “crucifiers”. Isothiocyanates are derived from the breakdown of glucosinolates—sulfur-containing compounds found in cruciferous vegetables like kale, broccoli, and cabbage. They also contain Vitamin C, folates, selenium, potassium, carotenoids, chlorophyll, fiber, flavonoids etc., to name just a few of their useful substances.
