The Best Menu Plans & Recipes Bundle for Thyroid Health
You Are What You Eat
and it's impossible to achieve good health without optimal nutrition
What this old expression is saying is that eating good, healthy foods will provide your body with powerful nutrients with which to build and repair itself. Providing your body with inferior nutrition can make it weak and easily susceptible to infirmity and disease.
My menu plans to support thyroid health were designed to be simple yet nutritious and delicious. All menu plan servings are for two people, however you may adjust the serving size accordingly to your preference.
Available as a bundle, the menu plans include the following recipe plans:

BASIC FOOD RULES FOR THYROID HEALTH
AVOID
-
Highly processed foods
-
Refined grains (starches & sugars)
-
Gluten
-
Wheat
-
GMO-corn
-
Soy products: soybeans, soy milk & soy protein. These contain isoflavins such as genistein which block tyrosine & iodine reducing production of thyroid hormone. Soy lecithin is far removed from soy protein & is permissible unless there is an extreme allergy to soy in which case it should be avoided
HYPOTHYROIDISM
These foods are goitrogens and should not make up a major part of your diet, especially if consumed raw as they can raise the risk factor for hypothyroidism. Eating these foods in excessive amounts can lead to the formation of goiters and hypothyroidism. This is caused by derivatives of cyanide in the plant itself. Cooking them inactivates the goitrogenic compounds; however, if you already have low thyroid function, limit the amount of foods you consume raw. My point is don't cut these foods out completely, simply limit them and steam or cook all cruciferous vegetables.

HYPERTHYROIDISM
Since excessive iodine intake promotes overactive thyroid function, too much in your diet can intensify symptoms of hyperthyroidism particularly if you have Graves' disease. So, if your thyroid is overactive, you'll want to limit these foods:
-
Shellfish
-
Ocean fish
-
Dairy products
-
Onions
-
Asparagus
-
Kelp and other forms of seaweed
All of these foods are loaded with iodine. Also, you need to know that many bakeries add extra salt and iodine to dough to make it easier to handle. A slice of bread contains about 150 micrograms of iodine. Another important reason to limit the intake of processed foods.
If you're struggling with Graves' disease and hyperthyroidism, you're likely losing muscle mass and may be prone to losing to much muscle mass. If this is the case, please make sure you're consuming enough protein to counteract the loss of muscle. You may also want to consider Coenzyme Q10 to protect the heart (which is a muscle) and consume more nutrient-dense calories than usual from proteins, healthy fats, and unrefined complex carbohydrates every 3 to 4 hours to prevent weight loss.
Hi, I'm Shannon Garrett, BS, RN, CNN. This collection of menu plans and recipes is a tribute to my grandmother who taught me at a very young age the connection between food and health. She was a highly educated woman and knew more about vitamins and minerals in the 1960s and 1970s than many people do today. From specific foods necessary and which ones contained essential nutrients to knowing the signs and symptoms of deficiencies, my grandmother Evelyn was ahead of her time. I'm forever grateful for her wisdom and knowledge (seeds she planted) which remain with me today.
People with Hashimoto's, Graves', Hashitoxicosis, hypothyroidism, or hyperthyroidism face a unique set of circumstances when it comes to nutrition. What can I eat? What must I avoid? With the exception of foods that play a role in molecular mimicry, I don't encourage my clients or my readers to follow rigid diets long-term that remove nutrient-dense foods unless a food sensitivity test confirms there are issues in the immune system toward such foods. In my professional opinion, the Autoimmune Paleo lifestyle may be fine short-term; however, if followed long-term, it may result in significant nutrient deficiencies, particularly in nutrients responsible for energy at the cellular level. I've observed this as being an issue for many of my clients and this is why I recommend a specific food sensitivity test along with micronutrient testing particularly for clients who've been following AIP for several months along with symptom complaints of extreme fatigue.
I hope you will enjoy these menu plans. I created them as a result of requests from our clients and according to the top issues my clients experience. I plan to add a SIBO menu plan in the near future. I did not include a Candida menu plan since it is included as a bonus to the Hashi's Sister's Guide to LDN" eBook.
