If your thyroid is getting worse, a hidden toxin is "building up" inside your thyroid system... Which not only destroys your energy...
But also attacks your metabolism and can cause complete thyroid
shutdown!

Dear ,
It is estimated that nearly 20 million Americans (mostly women) have some type of thyroid problem. The medication Synthroid is the number one most prescribed drug in the United States.
And perhaps most troubling is that more than 60 percent of those suffering from a thyroid disorder are completely unaware of their condition!
That means millions of people (perhaps even you) are
living with the symptoms of a thyroid disorder and either have no idea what’s wrong…
Or they’ve learned to live with fatigue, aches and digestive issues as if they are “normal”.
How Does the
Thyroid Affect Your Health?
The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland at the base of your neck. It is responsible for secreting hormones that regulate growth and development.
That means this
small gland can affect almost every system and cell in your body. It helps regulate your metabolism and balance your energy levels. And it also dictates how fast (or slowly) your brain, heart, muscles and liver work.
If your thyroid isn’t functioning properly, YOU will not function properly.
What is Hashimoto’s?
Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis is a thyroid disorder. But it is much more important to understand that it is also a progressive autoimmune
condition.
For any number of reasons, your own immune system may begin to attack the thyroid gland. Unfortunately, the tests that conventional doctors usually rely on do not show abnormalities until the advanced stages of the illness.
According to Dr. Izabella Wentz, Pharm.D., a thyroid disease expert (and sufferer herself), “It takes an average of 10 years to be diagnosed with Hashimoto’s.”
By this time, severe damage to the thyroid may have already
occurred. In some cases, so much tissue is lost the thyroid will never produce and secrete hormones naturally.
Unfortunately, the advice of most conventional doctors in the early stages of a thyroid disorder is to, “Watch and wait.” Because this disease is progressive, that is the worst thing you can do!
It is critical to detect and treat the root cause as soon as possible.
It’s now widely recognized that one of the most common root contributors to autoimmune conditions, including
Hashimoto’s, is impaired gut wall function, often referred to as “leaky gut.”
So, anything you can do to help restore the integrity of your gut is critical.
And one of
the best ways you can heal your gut and support your thyroid is with an ancestral-based diet.
The Thyroid Diet: An Ancestral Diet to Optimize Thyroid Health
The advantage of a thyroid diet
(also called the Hashimoto’s diet) is that it can be helpful for any type of thyroid disorder.
No matter what type of thyroid condition you have, the thyroid diet helps to normalize your entire system, thus eliminating not only the symptoms but also getting to the root cause of disease!
A Hashimoto’s diet (thyroid diet) is filled with grain-free, nutrient-dense foods that help your body heal.
On the thyroid diet, you should avoid:
- Gluten
- Grains
- Dairy
- Food Additives
- Legumes
- Starchy Vegetables
On the thyroid diet, you are encouraged to consume:
- Organic non-starchy vegetables and fruit (limited)
- Grass-fed beef, pastured poultry and pork, and eggs*
- Wild seafood – including nutrient-dense shellfish
- Nuts and seeds*
- Healthy Fats including grass-fed tallow and lard, virgin coconut oil,
grass-fed ghee and butter* (if tolerated) and olive oil
It’s important to note that your ideal thyroid diet will be built around your own personal needs. For example, nuts and seeds can be problematic for many people with autoimmune conditions, as can butter, ghee and eggs.
Hashimoto's and other thyroid illnesses are a serious medical issue. It should not be taken lightly. And you should not wait to seek treatment.

P.S. Another often-overlooked factor in thyroid health is a specific nutrient deficiency that has become increasingly common in modern diets. Even people who eat “healthy” may fall short due to depleted soils and
reduced intake of nutrient-rich foods.
