If you're trying to heal from a thyroid condition like Hashimoto's or Grave's disease, what is the BEST diet to follow? Let's take a look.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid, often leading to hypothyroidism. While it can be life-altering, managing Hashimoto’s through diet is not only possible—it’s empowering. I personally put my Hashimoto’s into remission within 14 months by focusing on food and lifestyle changes, without medication. The key? Eliminating common inflammatory triggers like gluten, dairy, and eggs, which can aggravate the immune system and worsen symptoms. Instead, a nutrient-rich, anti-inflammatory diet filled with colorful fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats can support healing and thyroid function. It’s not about restriction—it’s about nourishment and giving your body what it needs to thrive.

In this post let's address the causes of hypothyroidism as this is MOST important to understand if you want to reverse it.
