My passion is to educate people that they can use their diet to heal their thyroid issues. In our society we are surrounded by foods made by gluten and dairy or soy for vegetarians/vegans. Our society creates modified foods to be able to create abundance of food, but unfortunately our bodies do not recognise when wheat has been pulled apart and put back together, the nutrients in our soils have been depleted, and the combination of flour, sugar, oil and salt has created an addiction within our psyche that makes people feel it is impossible to give these things up.
There is a change happening in our society but the mainstream of women in their late 20's and early 30's are being diagnosed with thyroid issues, and are being put on medication to fall pregnant, or being diagnosed with Hashimoto's or Hypothyroidism / Hyperthyroidism after giving birth.
Iodine is a nutrient that is needed in our bodies for our thyroids to work properly, and we deleted the iodine levels in our soil back in the 1950's, so now the main area to obtain it is through seaweed / kelp / dulse, jerusalem artichokes, potato, pineapple, celery, pears, and romaine lettuce. However, iodine is needed in only a specific amount so too much or too little can create an issue.
Our bodies are very creative and if they can't find iodine they will find something similar and try to use it. In "The Thyroid Encyclopaedia" by Kylie Wolfig she states that too much chloride can destroy chlorine, too much fluoride can destroy fluorine, and too much bromide can destroy bromine. Some examples of where we would find these are: chloride is in tap water, pool water, cleaning products, Splenda. Too much fluoride can be found by having toothpaste, mouth wash, dental treatments, rice and black tea. Bromide is found in bakery products. Looking at these we can see that most people would be consuming at least one or more and therefore without realising it damaging their thyroid.
My story started back in 2002 and it was a journey of frustration, medication, anger, depression until 2017 when I watched "The Thyroid Secret" by Dr Izabella Wentz.
