Healthy eating should be simple, especially now that we have easy access to the latest studies.
It's technically simple to eat healthy.
But let's be honest, it turns out much more complicated than it seems.
Especially when you have thyroid problems.
If you do a simple Google search "Hashimoto's thyroiditis and diet" you will receive a huge amount of information where mainly they will tell you to remove certain foods, eat only organic products and that you need to follow a certain diet.
Hashimoto's thyroiditis is frustrating and debilitating!
Treatments for Hashimoto's thyroiditis exist but unfortunately they are not sufficient to eliminate the symptoms.
Hashimoto's thyroiditis usually occurs between the ages of 30 and 50
- in this case the body begins to develop antibodies that attack the thyroid itself.
The thyroid at this point fails to produce the thyroid hormones necessary for proper functioning.
Let yourself be helped by proper nutrition.
Food can be both your best friend and your greatest enemy.
Have you ever felt / or tired / or after a meal of vegetables? Didn't you tell yourself "I only ate vegetables" and besides being swollen / or I'm very tired / o!?
Have you ever eaten something "for the throat" but then immediately felt a sense of nausea?
Have you by any chance read a thousand articles about nutrition and Hashimoto's thyroiditis but in the end what you got was a great sense of confusion?
There is a lot of misleading information regarding Hashimoto's thyroiditis and inflammation. A healthy and balanced diet is beneficial for your health.
I can't promise you that changing your diet will magically make all your symptoms disappear. Unfortunately there is no cure for Hashimoto's thyroiditis because it is an autoimmune disease.
But I can guarantee you that a healthy lifestyle and personalized nutrition for your needs will have great physical and mental benefits. It will also help you improve digestion and reduce intestinal symptoms.
We will take care of your body at 360 degrees. We will not leave out any symptom that may seem negligible. I will be here to support you in your moments of difficulty and you will never feel alone.
Inflammation, mostly caused by food, can destroy "the walls of your house" before you even build it.
A personalized and optimized food plan has made the difference in many people.
There is a way to eat healthy for Hashimoto's thyroiditis that does not involve major limitations, micro and macro nutrient deficiencies or require hours of preparation in the kitchen.
Build healthy habits for a better life.
Cutting out certain foods and taking supplements won't cure thyroiditis, but following a thyroid-friendly diet can support your medical treatment and make you feel better!
HI!
I'm Dr. Sara D'Imperio.
I am a biologist and qualified nutritionist. I have several patients who unfortunately suffer from thyroiditis, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Graves' hyperthyroidism and thanks to my experience I can help you!
Even if nutrition cannot cure thyroiditis, thanks to my experience I have discovered that it can bring great benefits and minimize the symptoms of tiredness, swelling and intestinal dysbiosis. I share anti-inflammatory recipes, a method for planning meals for the week, articles and science-based knowledge. I strongly believe that a healthy and balanced approach can put us at ease as much as possible and make us more bitter about ourselves.
