How To Achieve Optimal Thyroid Health Naturally

Many people with hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are sick and tired of taking thyroid medicine, and want to do what it takes to achieve optimal thyroid health naturally, without having to take any medication. Of course some people with a thyroid condition need to take the thyroid medication continuously. On the contrary, many people can restore their health back to normal by following the natural thyroid treatment protocol.

If you have hypothyroid or hyperthyroid conditions, or even autoimmune thyroid disorders such as Graves' Disease or Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, here are six things you can do to help you achieve optimal thyroid health:

Optimal Health Tip # 1: Whole foods are the best. Eating well is essential to achieving optimal thyroid health. Many people wonder what the "perfect diet" of the thyroid is, but it really comes down to mind use. Eating a diet consisting mostly of whole foods and minimizing refined foods and sugars is an ideal diet.

Is the quality of the food you eat important? In other words, do you eat organic foods? Well, obviously eating organic foods is ideal, but also more expensive. I definitely recommend that you try to eat organic meat whenever possible. For fruits and vegetables, some are higher in pesticides than others (spinach, strawberries, grapes, etc.), and so you should try to avoid eating these foods if they are not organic. Of course it is not possible to avoid all toxins, and no one expects you to eat a perfect diet 100% of the time. However, if you follow the advice I give then this will definitely help you achieve optimal thyroid health.

Optimal Health Tip # 2: Manage your stress effectively. Most people face chronic stress on a daily basis. No matter how hard you try you can't eliminate the stress of your life. But most people can do a better job of managing their stress. One of the things I ask for in my patient's health questionnaire is for people to assess the amount of stress they have on a scale of 1-10, as well as their stress management skills. And while many people give high ratings when it comes to stress, I find that most people do not do the job of managing the stress they are feeling. It is certainly a challenge to do this, but it is important for anyone who wants to achieve optimal thyroid health.

Optimal Health Tip # 3: Getting quality sleep is important. We all know how important it is to get quality sleep every night, but there are still many people who try to escape with less than seven hours of sleep regularly. Of course some people try to get quality sleep, but have trouble sleeping and / or getting up in the middle of the night and are unable to sleep. If this happens then you may need to change some of the lifestyle factors that I have discussed in this article. On the other hand, if you deliberately neglect your sleep, this will eventually catch up with you, and most likely affect your ability to achieve optimal thyroid health.

Optimal Health Tip # 4: Certain foods and herbs can help. Some people with thyroid conditions can benefit by taking supplements and herbs. Which depends on your specific situation, as many people with hypothyroidism can benefit from plants such as Bladderwrack and Ashwagandha, while many people with hypothyroidism can get natural relief from their symptoms by using Bugelweed and / or Motherwort. Other dietary supplements and herbs include Vitamin D, iodine, selenium, Magnesium, and Eleuthero. Of course, long-term goals do not necessarily depend on taking herbs and supplements, but they are usually necessary to restore the health of someone who is currently in a thyroid state.

Optimal Health Tip # 5: Reduce your exposure to environmental toxins. Environmental toxins can also worsen, and in some cases directly cause the thyroid to develop. Just like with chronic stress, one cannot completely eliminate their exposure to environmental toxins. But most people can do a better job with this, especially with regard to food, cosmetics, and other home products they buy and bring to their home. So just being more aware of the food and products you buy can make a big difference here.

Optimal Health Tip # 6: Consult with an expert. Although most of what I mentioned above, you can do it yourself, if you really want to achieve optimum thyroid health then it's a good idea to talk to a holistic doctor who focuses on endocrine disorders. This type of doctor will do what is necessary to assess your condition, and may put you on a natural thyroid treatment protocol to help restore the normal thyroid state back to normal, assuming this may be true.

In short, whether you have hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, if you follow these six tips, you may be able to achieve optimal thyroid health. While it can be challenging to follow these tips, most people who are willing to take responsibility for their health are happy that they are making such a commitment.
