The suggestion to have more kelp is based on the simple fact that thyroid hormone uses iodine rather than any real-life evidence. Iodine is in fact very heavily present in the standard modern diet. If anything we need less of it.

I had mild symptoms of hypothyroidism for a while, like tiredness and weight gain, though I've never thought that they were serious enough to check with a doctor, so I decided to stick to healthy diet and take supplement instead to treat these probs. The only 2 things that improved how I feel greatly were: fatty fish; like salmon, and fresh ginger. I could understand why salmon would make me feel better (because of the zinc and the iodine obviously) but I couldn't understand why fresh ginger is good too, until I found that it has iron, which as well can help convert T4 to T3.

Yes, do you know why? I'd lay money that it was the iodine in your new diet. I'd make sure that it's verified as wild caught and not farm raised.

I was a big consumer of wheat products (bread, cookies, cakes, pies) when younger. And like most of my generation, we were brought up on it. When I was in my late 30s, I had an episode where my throat felt like it had come under attack - a very sore throat and ears for several days. Not thinking it was my thyroid, I didn't get it checked out then, but did a year later when I was exhibiting classic low thyroid symptoms, (fatigue, felt cold most of the time, aching joints & generally grumpy and my neck looked swollen). I was put on a low dose of Thyroxin which I took for a few years before I went to see a Nutritional consultant. The resulting diet (no wheat, dairy, yeast or sugars as a leaky gut was also suspected) was a complete change from what I was accustomed to eating, but once I understood that my diet was the reason behind my problems, I stuck with it. That was 1997. By 1999, I decided to quit taking the thyroxin as I wanted to see how I would do without it. And I never went back as my thyroid has continued to improve. Now I do also like that the food industry has also made gluten free products more widely available since I began this journey to better health - it has made me feel like I'm not missing out when I feel the need to have a piece of bread. What has really been a game changer the last few years has been the availability of health information on the internet by caring people like you who are helping to educate us to the importance of our diets and the value of supplements . And done in such a way that we can understand the reasons and processes. Thank you very much.

Sharing Dr Bergs notes on this important episode! Goitrogens are things that cause a goiter. A goiter is an enlarged thyroid gland. Goitrogenic foods interfere with certain enzymes and hormones and can lead to a goiter. Foods to avoid for hypothyroidism: 1. Cassava 2. Lima beans 3. Sorgum 4. Sweet potato 5. Flax seed 6. Cruciferous vegetables 7. Millet 8. Soy products 9. Onions 10. Gluten If you have cruciferous vegetables in very small amounts (less than five ounces), it shouldn’t be a problem.

The negative long-term consequences of ketogenic diets may far outweigh any potential short-term benefits, according to a comprehensive new review published in Frontiers in Nutrition. Keto diets have skyrocketed in popularity over the last decade due to their ability to promote quick weight loss. Typically very low in carbohydrates, modest in protein, and high in fats, the aim of keto diets is to push the body into ketosis-the state in which the body uses fat for fuel. Foods like red meat, fish, nuts, cream, eggs, cheese, oil, and non-starchy vegetables are given the green light while starchy vegetables, fruit, whole grains, beans, and lentils are avoided as much as possible. For this latest meta-analysis, a group of physicians, researchers, and registered dietitians analyzed more than 100 peer-reviewed studies on keto diets to identify long-term effects. They found that people who follow such diets have a significantly increased risk of developing heart disease, LDL cholesterol buildup, kidney failure, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, and cancer. They also discovered that keto diets are particularly dangerous for people who are currently pregnant or may become pregnant. Low-carbohydrate diets are linked to birth defects, particularly neural tube defects, and gestational diabetes even if the pregnant person is taking folic acid supplements. Additionally, for those living with chronic kidney disease (CKD), the high amounts of protein consumed on the keto diet can place excess stress on the kidneys and worsen the long-term internal damage of CKD. So why does this diet have such negative side effects? The study’s authors suggest that it has to do with the nutrient quality of the food being eaten. “The foods that are emphasized on a keto diet are the very products that cause colon cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s disease,” says study co-author Neal Barnard, MD, FACC, president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and an adjunct professor of medicine at George Washington University School of Medicine. “New research also shows that these same foods raise the risk for severe COVID-19.” This sentiment is echoed by lead review author Lee Crosby, RD. “The typical keto diet is a disease-promoting disaster,” says Crosby. “Loading up on red meat, processed meat, and saturated fat and restricting carbohydrate-rich vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains is a recipe for bad health.” Originally developed in the 1920s as a treatment for patients with severe drug-resistant epilepsy, the keto diet has been shown to be effective for reducing seizures in extreme cases. Scientists believe the diet decreases seizures by making less glucose available to fuel neurons. And although the study authors concluded that eating keto could be beneficial for seizure management, they say the risks far outweigh the rewards for most people. Instead of going keto, Barnard suggests a whole food, plant-based diet: “On a low-calorie diet, people might lose weight, but they have to go hungry to do it. On a keto diet, they might lose weight but they feel guilty if they have an apple, banana, slice of bread, or a cookie. On a plant-based diet, you get the best of all worlds: weight loss, delicious food, better overall health, and you’re never hungry.”

I also have had IBS w/diarrhea and no doctor has ever suggested to avoid gluten, nor have I ever been tested.

Doctors prescribe meds. They won't tell you about how you can avoid the meds by fixing your diet. (Unless you ask) I'm unmedicated now after trying for 2 1/2 years to get the right dosage of Levothyroxine. It was a rollercoaster of hypo/hyperthyroid symptoms. I changed my diet significantly and feel SO much better. My hair and nails are growing, my skin looks better. Overall I feel great. My Doctor has me written as an uncooperative patient because I won't take the meds. So I just don't go now, which sucks because I really liked her before that. I may end up having to be on meds later in life, but for now I really feel this is the best for me. I know how I'm feeling after all. (I'm 55, btw)

Sometimes I feel like I’m going around in circles…… Was thrilled yesterday, to find out flaxseed oil is improving my eyesight…. Just found out, not to take because of my thyroid. Hashimoto’s Frustration building here….

I was quite fit before, surfing, skating, hiking, helped coach sons AFL footy team, singing in a band for years etc. Im just about to turn 51 and still try to keep fit, but it’s really hard to lose the weight, I put on nearly 20kgs! But the exhaustion I feel everyday! Is really bad. I’ve had my Thyroxine (synthetic thyroid medication) increased, lowered, up and down like a yo-yo, but it didn’t help. I’ve really got to force myself to get out of bed to do stuff, I broke up with my partner at the time as she thought I was now lazy as before I was so active. I had to give up my job as a tattoo artist as my hands had become to shaky. My beard when I grew back was no where near as thick as it was, it’s dumb but I used to enter “beard competitions” and often win, I don’t know, my hair is super dry, brittle and falls out badly. It stuffed up my testosterone badly so I had to go on Testosterone replacement at 40, it wasn’t a age thing as that was all tested before. The radiation therapy caused some of the lubricantion glands in my eye lids to stop working, I was then also diagnosed with Glaucoma (not sure if it’s related, but it was 4 months after it started to cause problems) so there is quite a few. I’m not sure if men are affected in the same way as women? I know the percentage of the population who get it are women are more likely to have thyroid problems over men? Anyway thanks for the question. Cheers

One thing what i found recently is the problem of eating milk and gluten. Gluten contains gliadin and cow's milk beta casein a1, these two resemble each other. These two culprits often body thinks as an invader and when it does think as an invader, it will think from thyroid transglutaminase as the same. Because all three as the same structural likeness. When body creates antibodies to destroy casein and gliadin, it causes inflammation by mistake of attacking thyroid. Also after inflammation will come leaky gut where these two can go to bloodstream and cause higher inflammation. One good to check is gluten cross-reactivity.

Two weeks prior i was diagnosed with pneumonia, given antibiotics and steroids. I was in Niagara Falls when it happened, and everything that could wrong, did. My sugars topped over 800, renal failure, a fib, severe drop in bp, about 15 lbs of fluid etc. My A1C was 11.8...fast forward to today, my A1C is 6.0 thankfully but I never feel well. I have issues with numerous things and I take about 13 pills a day. I am 52 years old, overweight and just miserable. I have a wonderful endocrinologist but something still isnt right. If I could get full disability I certainly would because most days I can barely function. For years I have joked I need a Dr. House but nicer, you might be the one...Thanks for reading...😢

15 years ago when I was on a diet of soy everything, and working out regularly I really liked the results. However, I started manifesting symptoms of thyroid disruption & had to give it up. My hair loss accelerated, and my nails were brittle to the point that it was almost analogous to radiation poisoning 😮.

Thank you to Dr. Berg who teach us such important and helpful stuff.. but unfortunately i can't understand them fully because i don't speak english fluently..!! GREEK SUBS when..? ! ? ! Auto translation has some languages available but not Greek..pls Dr.Berg's support team can you pls do something about it..?!

Hi Dr Berg ! I was wondering if we can have a video about the healthiest fruits to consume and which to avoid

@w1975b

I know you asked Dr. Berg, but I will give my 2 cents. If you're going to eat fruit, stay away from high carb fruit. Fructose is harmful for humans, damaging to our livers, even the fructose from fruit (doesn't have to be high fructose corn syrup). Plus everything high carb (fruit, grains, etc) is high deuterium, which damages the mitochondria of our cells....BAD.

The fact of the matter is that plants *don't* want to be eaten and the only way they can fight that is by producing toxins. Goitrogens are only ONE form of toxin, gluten is another, then there are oxalates, lectins, phytates, and hundreds or even thousands more. They cause all sorts of health problems for humans because we're *not* supposed to eat them.

lol…Dr. Berg just wiped out 80% of my diet.😂 I stopped eating corn tortilla chips b/c I had a corn allergy. Found Siete brand chips and was so happy. I eat ALL the foods that are on this list minus sorghum. My blood work this month showed slight hypothyroidism and I was so surprised. Now I know why. Thanks Dr. Berg for educating me (even if you just dashed all my favorite foods). I thought I was doing so good…

The herb "Devil's Claw Root" has found to be beneficial when taken for an extended period of time - depending on the severity of the rheumatism. This is due to a glycoside called harpagoside that reduces inflammation in the joints. Devil's Claw is also a natural cleansing agent for removing toxic impurities from the system. Simmer this in water for approximately twenty minutes and drink it daily. And stay away from drinking, including using tap water for making soups, pasta, etc. All the contaminants in tap water literally ends up attaching to your bones, creating stiffness. And, according to the late Edgar Cayce who was the Father of Holistic Medicine, he recommended massaging Planters brand Peanut Oil on arthritic joints daily. Yes. Really. He also suggested olive oil as well, which many people have benefited from.

Dr. Berg you never talk about the parathyroid. I was diagnosed with this condition a while ago. I was doing keto just fine and one day I woke up so sick. I could feel my thyroid in my throat and intense tingling inside. I went to the doc to draw some labs and my numbers were so bad. I started incorporating carbs with intermittent fasting……I did put back half the weight I lost but I am feeling a lot better. I wouldn’t do keto if I have any kind of thyroid issues.

@@w1975b The negative long-term consequences of ketogenic diets may far outweigh any potential short-term benefits, according to a comprehensive new review published in Frontiers in Nutrition. Keto diets have skyrocketed in popularity over the last decade due to their ability to promote quick weight loss. Typically very low in carbohydrates, modest in protein, and high in fats, the aim of keto diets is to push the body into ketosis-the state in which the body uses fat for fuel. Foods like red meat, fish, nuts, cream, eggs, cheese, oil, and non-starchy vegetables are given the green light while starchy vegetables, fruit, whole grains, beans, and lentils are avoided as much as possible. For this latest meta-analysis, a group of physicians, researchers, and registered dietitians analyzed more than 100 peer-reviewed studies on keto diets to identify long-term effects. They found that people who follow such diets have a significantly increased risk of developing heart disease, LDL cholesterol buildup, kidney failure, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, and cancer. They also discovered that keto diets are particularly dangerous for people who are currently pregnant or may become pregnant. Low-carbohydrate diets are linked to birth defects, particularly neural tube defects, and gestational diabetes even if the pregnant person is taking folic acid supplements. Additionally, for those living with chronic kidney disease (CKD), the high amounts of protein consumed on the keto diet can place excess stress on the kidneys and worsen the long-term internal damage of CKD. So why does this diet have such negative side effects? The study’s authors suggest that it has to do with the nutrient quality of the food being eaten. “The foods that are emphasized on a keto diet are the very products that cause colon cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s disease,” says study co-author Neal Barnard, MD, FACC, president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and an adjunct professor of medicine at George Washington University School of Medicine. “New research also shows that these same foods raise the risk for severe COVID-19.” This sentiment is echoed by lead review author Lee Crosby, RD. “The typical keto diet is a disease-promoting disaster,” says Crosby. “Loading up on red meat, processed meat, and saturated fat and restricting carbohydrate-rich vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains is a recipe for bad health.” Originally developed in the 1920s as a treatment for patients with severe drug-resistant epilepsy, the keto diet has been shown to be effective for reducing seizures in extreme cases. Scientists believe the diet decreases seizures by making less glucose available to fuel neurons. And although the study authors concluded that eating keto could be beneficial for seizure management, they say the risks far outweigh the rewards for most people. Instead of going keto, Barnard suggests a whole food, plant-based diet: “On a low-calorie diet, people might lose weight, but they have to go hungry to do it. On a keto diet, they might lose weight but they feel guilty if they have an apple, banana, slice of bread, or a cookie. On a plant-based diet, you get the best of all worlds: weight loss, delicious food, better overall health, and you’re never hungry.”

@@lilydauber3147 most studies published on ANY type of diet are very poorly done. Usually questionnaires, which people can lie about their answers, and no controls. Professor Bart Kay knows how to analyze studies and has done so for many on his channel, pointing out all the mistakes, intentional "adjustments", etc. I wouldn't be surprised if the review you shared is no exception. I'd trust Prof Kay's analysis of the review, but not the review itself because too much science these days is corrupt.

​@@chanwmalichani also have hypothyroidism and i looked for the strategies to deal with it in short you can either consume 7 - 10 cups of leafy greens or 4-5 cups of cruseferous veggies and you can take sea kelp at the same time one capsule a day to get your rda of iodine and compensate the slight deficiency that caused by the crusefrous veggies . 1 capsule of now kelp supplement contains 325mg wich equals more than double of the rda of iodine and it's pretty cheap

These are all the highly recommended foods to to eat daily and in abundance of to avoid a cancer recurrence, and now I can't eat them because they might make my hypothyroid worse. Don't eat meat, carbs, fruit because it contains fructose, and now cruciferous vegetables. What's left?
