Feel energetic again, reach a healthy weight, optimize fertility, and live your most vital life with guidance from a New York City thyroid dietitian. Take control of your life and manage Hashimoto’s, Graves, and other thyroid conditions with dietary interventions.
Lank hair, feeling frumpy, tired, depressed, cold, experiencing weight gain or loss, loss of appetite, and trouble sleeping are just a few signs of a malfunctioning thyroid.
Our thyroid is the engine of our bodies. It produces the hormones that regulate the body’s energy use. This small, butterfly-shaped organ found at the front of the neck regulates heart, muscle, and digestive function, brain development, and bone maintenance. Untreated, it can also lead to infertility and other reproduction-related problems (like preeclampsia, loss of pregnancies, and menstrual disruptions.)
Our thyroid is highly nutrient dependent. Poor nutrition and diet can not only prevent our thyroid from working well, but also interfere with thyroid medications. It often happens that our patients’ blood tests are perfect, yet they continue to feel like they’re running on zero. This is not “in your head.”
Thyroid health and diet are intricately linked, and you may have some dietary habits that interfere with the absorption of the thyroid hormone. Though your blood work shows you’ve got enough, your body, at a cellular level, might not be absorbing them. Thyroid nutritionists can help with Hashimoto’s, Graves, hypothyroidism, postpartum hypothyroidism, and hyperthyroidism.
There is no diet that can magically fix hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid). That said, there are nutrients and foods that can interfere with the body’s ability to absorb your thyroid medication. The most effective way to keep your medication working is by taking it on an empty stomach. Then, avoid these foods, supplements, and medications for a few hours after taking your medication: walnuts, soybean flour, cottonseed meal, iron supplements or multivitamins containing iron (most do!), calcium supplements, antacids that contain aluminum, magnesium, or calcium, some ulcer medications (sucralfate), and some cholesterol-lowering medications that contain cholestyramine and colestipol.
Hypothyroidism: This occurs when the thyroid gland fails to produce enough hormones.
Hashimoto’s Disease is one of the main causes of hypothyroidism. It is an autoimmune condition in which the body’s white blood cells and antibodies mistakenly attack thyroid cells, leaving it damaged and unable to function at full speed. Hashimoto’s can progress over the years and cause chronic thyroid damage. Work with a Hashimoto’s nutritionist to get the nutrients you need to optimize thyroid function.
Graves Disease, too, is an autoimmune condition in which the body’s white blood cells and antibodies attack the thyroid, causing it to produce too much of the thyroid hormone. This leads to hyperthyroidism.
Hyperthyroidism is when the body releases too many hormones in the blood.
Working with a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist will help you become aware of what you are eating in order to modify your diet to optimize thyroid function and support a healthy metabolism. Our RDNs will also work to help you manage your weight, as weight gain and loss are common among those who struggle with thyroid problems.
