Effective Diet Plan for Thyroid Patients – Expert Guidance from Diet Doc

Handling thyroid disorders can feel like a huge burden to carry, especially with symptoms like fatigue, weight fluctuation and mood changes daily. Eating and managing what you eat is one of the best ways you can manage thyroid imbalances, and that is where we come in. At Diet Doc, we focus on working with patients on a personalized diet plan that will help thyroid patients restore hormonal balance, increase metabolism and decrease fatigue.

Why Nutrition is Important For Thyroid Care

When the thyroid malignancy, it regulates metabolism, energy and many other important functions in the body. When it becomes underactive (hypothyroidism) or over active (hyperthyroidism), nutrition will play a large part in managing symptoms in a small way. You will not only eat a strategic diet that includes certain nutrients. You will also be eating a diet that excludes food that diminishes or affects thyroid function.

Basic Components of a Diet Plan for Patients with Thyroid Disease

At Diet Doc, we devise individual plans based on that patient's circumstances, lifestyle & health needs. There are some general nutritional principles including:

1. Foods that contain nutrients

Iodine - needed to produce thyroid hormone; seaweed, iodized salt (in moderation).

Selenium - necessary to help regulate thyroid function; Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, eggs.

Zinc - required for the synthesis, or production of, hormones; pumpkin seeds, legumes, seafood. 

2. Foods in moderation

Goitrogens - cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower)(may be eaten in moderation definitely preferably cooked). 

Processed & sugary foods - can exacerbate the continued fatigue and weight gain common to individuals with hypothyroidism.

Soy products- May potentially interfere with the absorption of thyroid hormone if you eat too much.

3. Eating time based balanced meals

Using a consistent pattern of eating allows metabolism to be variable and allows for very stable energy levels. The patient with thyroid disease should strive to eat meals at a steady pace, distributed evenly party and balanced with macronutrients (protein, healthy fats and complex carbs).

4. Hydration & Lifestyle

Adequate supplementation of water, or hydration, stress management, lifestyle strategies and regular exercise will supplement your health as well as enhance health improvements from diet.
