You downloaded this document because you or someone you care about is
struggling with hypo- or hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto’s or Graves’ Disease.
This often means feeling extremely tired (“thyroid-tired” is different from the
“tired” most people know) or depressed and experiencing anxiety attacks,
brain fog, heart palpitations, an inability to lose or gain weight no matter what
methods you try and so much more.
Oh, and have I mentioned the digestive issues, miscarriages and difficulty
getting pregnant?
You probably also believe that what you eat matters. You have a notion that
food could be your medicine; you just need help to know what works and
what does not.
There are a few points I want you to know before I share the strategies with
you.

My Story of Hormonal Struggles
!
Hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s, adrenal
fatigue and estrogen dominance are all too
familiar to me.
If you have not watched my story, I

recommend doing so. You can find it here:
My Story Video.
Like many people, my personal health crisis

brought me here today.
I was a high-flying advertising executive,

had a knack for my trade (strategic
planning), worked on Fortune 500 brands,
covered the Asian region, lived in 6 different
countries and was the go-to-person in the
industry. I loved it and was addicted to it.
Until a crisis struck. Intensifying anxiety attacks, forgetting events that

happened the day before, severe mood swings and sliding into depression
landed me with a diagnosis of Hashimoto’s Disease. My TSH, T3, T4 were
within range but my TPO antibodies were over 1,000 (norm is <30). Based on
these, modern medicine only treats TSH, T3 and T4 and has no solution for the
high antibodies that were a reflection of the raging inflammation in my body; I
was, therefore, sent home with “we have no cure for you.”
It was the most lonely and helpless time of my life. Looking back at it now, it’s
hardly surprising that my immune system was weak and my hormones were
out of whack; I was not a breast-fed baby (my immune system is therefore
weak), in my tweens I lived through the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and ate
contaminated food for a week after the explosion.
Due to a weak immune system, I suffered from chronic ear infections and
eczema as a child and later severe acne, migraines and hormonal imbalance
for early adulthood; all clear signs of chronic inflammation and a suppressed
immune system.
As my advertising career took off, I was under chronic stress, lived in polluted
China (which contributed to very high mercury and lead levels in my body),
was experiencing exhausted adrenals that were made only worse by my
intense and competitive athleticism. In other words, I was an ideal candidate
for an autoimmune disease.
Refusing to accept my disease, I went to a nutrition school to become a

Certified Nutrition Coach, to really know how food can heal. I also dove into
every thyroid and hormones book I could buy, sought answers from numerous
endocrinologists, alternative healers and naturopaths to filter it all down to
what’s critical in firing up your thyroid. As a result of that, I founded Thyroid
Diet Coach, a nutrition coaching practice dedicated to women with thyroid
problems.
As much as I have managed to get my thyroid under control, the TPO

antibodies dropped from over 1000 to 66 (I’m working on getting them under
30) and I started feeling great, in 2012 I started experiencing cyclical hair loss
– I would lose 20% of my hair in one month and then have re-growth for 2-3
months before the cycle repeated.
After much searching, I was diagnosed with estrogen dominance. To read the
full story and see the before-and-after lab work please go to this article.
I attribute my recover to a few critical factors: restoring the health of my

digestive tract (eliminating food intolerances, Candida and parasites and
populating it with beneficial bacteria), cleansing my liver, stabilizing my sugar
levels and cravings, getting enough sleep and self-nurturing as well as
switching to organic-only and nutrient-dense food to address my nutritional
deficiencies.
Today, I feel better than ever before. Free of all hypothyroid symptoms,
healthy adrenals and estrogen levels well under control, I have more energy
than most 30-year olds, my skin is glowing, I have not had a cold in 5 years, I
sleep well and enjoy a wonderful physical and emotional equilibrium in my life.
Hormonal rebalancing in women is what I dedicate my life to. I own two

coaching practices, Thyroid Diet Coach and Hormones Balance, focused on
teaching women with hormonal challenges how to self-heal with dietary and
lifestyle changes.
It’s ironic but true: my disease became my destiny.
What are the typical symptoms?
In the case of hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s, the typical symptoms are:
!
• fatigue, exhaustion • anxiety attacks
• feeling run down and sluggish • dry, coarse and/or itchy skin
• depression • dry, coarse and/or thinning hair
• difficulty concentrating, brain • feeling cold, especially in the

fog extremities
• unexplained or excessive • constipation, indigestion

weight gain
• muscle cramps
• inability to lose weight no
matter what you try • irregular periods
• infertility/miscarriage 
!
In the case of hyperthyroidism or Graves’ Disease, the symptoms would be:
!
• heart palpitations • insomnia
• nervousness • racing heart
• irritability • more frequent bowel

movements
• increased perspiration
• weight loss despite a good
• thinning of your skin appetite
• fine brittle hair • weight gain for no apparent

reason
• muscular weakness especially
involving the upper arms and • hair loss
thighs
• lighter flow accompanying less
• shaky hands frequent menstrual periods. 
• panic disorder
How do you get diagnosed?
Thyroid conditions are some of the most undiagnosed and misdiagnosed
conditions in modern medicine.
It’s hardly surprising why there are so many women today reporting
depression, anxiety attacks, fatigue, infertility and unexplained weight gain in
spite of being on countless diets, medications and supplements.
The first thing you would need to do is find a doctor who would be your
partner, who is open-minded and willing to run a complete set of tests. If your
current doctor is not willing to run these tests, find one who is – and yes, they
do exist!
I would like for you to consider a meaningful perspective while starting out in
your healing process: don’t view doctors as infallible gods or unquestionable
know-it-alls, but rather see yourself as a client who has the right to ask for
what is reasonable, well-researched and sensible. Take that power back into
your own hands and don’t rely on one doctor’s verdict alone to conclude your
diagnosis.
!
Integrative doctor listings and directories
There is good news. There are doctors who can help. I want to offer you this
hope and empower you with this knowledge.
Here are some good go-to resources that will help you find a better physician.
And yes, many of them do take insurance.
Take a look at these resources that many of my clients found very helpful:
1. American College for Advancement in Medicine
2. American Association of Naturopathic Physicians
3. Institute for Functional Medicine
4. Paleo Physicians Network
5. American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine, physician locator
6. ThyroidChange list (US, Canada and Australia)
!
One more great trick I want to offer you.
If you are still in no luck to find a doctor, go to your local compounding

pharmacy and ask them for a list of doctors who are their customers. We find
that often times, doctors who are willing to work with compounded (it means
custom-made for you) thyroid replacement therapy are more open minded
and progressive.
There is hope.
If you do your homework, you also stand a much better chance to find the
right support system.
!
Order the tests yourself
You can order thyroid tests yourself. Most people do not know that. You can
do so by going to Direct Labs or you can order the panels Direct Labs
designed for us (it works out cheaper) – you can see the testing options here.
They cover more than just TSH and T4 – you will get the full spectrum of
results which you need to know to manage your thyroid and Hashimoto’s.
!
Getting a complete set of tests
Part of the problem lies in the lab tests doctors frequently order (see more on
this below). Apart from the standard TSH and FT4 (Free T4), you should also
request more comprehensive tests, including FT3 (Free T3; this is the active
hormone that powers you up) as well as reverse T3. Also ask for TGB
(thyroglobulin) antibodies and TPO (thyroid peroxidase) antibodies.
If you suspect that you might have hyperthyroidism or Graves’ Disease, test
for TSI (thyroid stimulating immunoglobulins) antibodies.
For mineral deficiencies, test for vitamin B12, vitamin D, ferritin and folic acid
(vitamin B9).
For hormonal health, I recommend testing for estrogen, progesterone and

cortisol(the infamous stress hormone with which so many people struggle).
These tests will give you a much better insight as to what is really going on in
your body, and a starting point from which you can begin to find a
personalized healing regimen. At times, I recommend further tests, such as
those for heavy metal toxicity, parasites and candida, or liver function, but
begin with the above first and foremost.
If your insurance does not cover these, I recommend investing in these tests
out of pocket, as they will reveal the true picture of your thyroid health.

Brief overview of the labs
TSH – Thyroid Stimulating Hormone is released by the pituitary gland. This is

the most commonly used (but not the most indicative) marker of thyroid
health. TSH increases when T4 drops as the pituitary gland tries to wake up
the thyroid by releasing more TSH to stimulate T4 production. In hypothyroid
cases, TSH is typically high. This is a good starting point of a diagnosis, but
should not be used as the only marker. Typical lab range is 0.5-5.0 mU/L,
whereby functional practitioners like to use 1-2 mU/L range.
Free T4 (FT4) – measures the amount of free thyroxine found in the blood. T4
is produced by the thyroid gland when it binds with iodine. It is largely an
inactive hormone that gets converted to T3, which is the active hormone.
Free T3 (FT3) – measures free triiodothyroxine (Free T3) and is the best
marker for measuring the amount of an active hormone available for our body
cells to utilize.
Reverse T3 – This marker is elevated if a person went through a major trauma,

surgery or severe chronic stress. When the body is under stress, instead of
converting T4 to T3 (the active form of thyroid hormone), the body conserves
energy by making what is known as Reverse T3 (rT3), an inactive form of the
T3 hormone. A high rT3 will block T3 from entering the cells, making all
symptoms of hypothyroidism even worse.
TPO Antibodies – Thyroid peroxidase antibodies are an excellent marker to

indicate the inflammation level of the immune system. TPOs are elevated in
75% of Hashimoto’s patients. They are often not tested by doctors, as there is
no medication they can prescribe to lower the antibodies.
TGB Antibodies – Thyroglobulin antibodies are used for two reasons: to
evaluate the effectiveness of treatment for thyroid cancer and to monitor for
thyroid cancer recurrence. They can also show up in high levels when a
woman is taking birth control pills and/or has elevated estrogen levels.
!
Learn about the difference between functional and conventional ranges of
these tests by joining us at the Mastering Hashimoto’s Workshop
(www.masteringhashimotos.com/workshop). You will find that functional
medicine’s healthy ranges are much narrower than the lab results shown to
you by conventional medicine.  
Why are so many thyroid conditions not diagnosed properly?
Practitioners who truly understand thyroid health (which are few, but do
exist)are baffled and outraged by standard medicine’s ignorance and
unwillingness to change the diagnosis methods.
So why are so many of us flying under the thyroid radar? Why are so many of
us undiagnosed in spite of feeling run down, fatigued and moody, and
struggling with weight, anxiety, depression, hair loss and infertility?
There are many reasons, but let’s just focus on the key ones:
1. Incomplete tests
You probably know by now that the standard thyroid tests a traditional doctor
would recommend are TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) and T4 (this is just
one of the hormones produced by the thyroid).
!
Unfortunately, we know today that this is a very inconclusive way of making a
thyroid diagnosis. Many people have a “normal” level of TSH and T4, in spite
of showing all signs of hypo- or hyperthyroidism.
However, it is only when more complete tests are ordered, such as the Free T3
or FT3 (this is the bio-available active hormone for which our body cells have
receptors), reverse T3 and antibodies called TPO and TGB, that an accurate
diagnosis can be completed.
I, Magdalena, am an excellent example of this trap – my TSH, FT4, FT3 were

always perfect by conventional standards, even though I felt extremely sick
and compromised. After much education and insistence, we ran the TPO
antibodies, which showed up as over 1000, when the normal range is below
30. You can see my test results here, along with how I managed to bring these
antibodies down).
2. TSH “normal” range is set as 0.5 to 5.0
This is the second controversial area. Even the American Association of

Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) recommends doctors use a range of 0.3-3.0.
Most endocrinologists are, sadly, still basing their diagnoses on outdated

information and are not even aware of the revised range. Most holistic doctors
and functional medicine practitioners believe that we should be in the 1.0 – 2.o
range.
As mentioned, my own TSH ranged between 1.8 and 2.0, yet I felt absolutely
awful when diagnosed.
3. Total T3 instead of Free T3
This is another mysteriously overlooked thyroid health marker – if a doctor

orders the T3 test (and too often, they do not), it’s most often Total T3 and
not the Free T3.
Free T3 refers to the unbound or bio-available T3 hormones that you body

receptors can actively use – receptors are like parking lots that are waiting to
be filled up with T3 to function properly.
Total T3 consists of both bound and unbound T3 and is a useless

measurement, as we really need to know how much FREE T3 there is.
!
4. Ignorance and outdated practices
You might be asking why doctors aren’t receiving this updated information,
and rightly so. The answer is partly due to an outdated approach that never
got enough attention to be changed, although that’s slowly being modified
now as thyroid advocate groups push for it.
Another reason cited is that most endocrinologists are too busy with the
diabetes pandemic and have little time and willingness to learn more about
the thyroid.
This is why you need to become your own thyroid’s CEO.
Why is it all happening, this thyroid pandemic?
If you pose this question to a traditional endocrinologist or a GP, they would

probably tell you they don’t know. However, holistic practitioners have a
different point of view as to why we have a thyroid and autoimmune
pandemic in developed countries.
Let’s take a look at the underlying factors:
1. Nutritional deficiencies
• Many people are experiencing chronic digestive issues such as

bloating, constipation, gas, acid reflux, bouts of diarrhea, burping or
more serious conditions like Celiac’s, Crohn’s, IBS/IBD or leaky gut.
When our digestive tract is behaving this way, the villi (see more below)
are not absorbing the nutritional goodness offered from the food we
consume.
• The soil in which our food is grown is often depleted of the key
nutrients our body needs to function properly. Nutritional deficiencies
are one of the many reasons why the thyroid may not be operating at
optimal levels.
2. Toxic load
Today’s developed world is overloaded with dangerous toxins, many of

which we are not even aware have an impact on us. Here are a few main
sources (although this is, by no means, a complete list):
• Non-organic food loaded with pesticides, synthetic fertilizer residues,

hormones and antibiotics, which are well-documented to be serious
endocrine disruptors.
• Drinking water containing high amounts of chlorine and fluoride,
which inhibit the functions of the thyroid gland.
• Household items and skin care products that are a source of

xenoestrogens, which create a serious hormonal imbalance including
estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance has been cited as the leading
cause of thyroid nodules and cancer (source)
!
3. Over usage of antibiotics
A highly reputable naturopath with whom I often collaborate said this:

“The worst things medicine has given us in this century are antibiotics
and birth control pills.” When researching the long-term effects of these
drugs that have long been hailed as medical marvels, we find a
staggering truth in that statement.
Here is the challenge with antibiotics: they may quickly kill the bad
bacteria that caused the illness, but they also kill the good bacteria
which are responsible for keeping the immune system working. This is
why many people fall sick with another illness soon after completing a
series of antibiotics.
4. Stress
Whenever you get stressed and bottle up your emotions without a

proper release, a potent hormone enters your blood stream, called
cortisol.
Excess cortisol erodes the lining of your digestive tract by creating

inflammation. Constant stress also inhibits your stomach from digesting
food properly. Cortisol is also known to inhibit the T4 to T3 conversion.
The Role of the Digestive Tract in Thyroid
Health.
If you remember only one thing from this document, let it be this:
This means that your own immune system is attacking the thyroid gland.
As with any autoimmune disease, the immune system turns against one’s own
body parts – in the case of rheumatoid arthritis it’s the joints, with Celiac’s it’s
the gut, with Type 1 diabetes it’s the pancreas, with multiple sclerosis it’s the
nerves, with lupus it’s the joints and muscle tissue, and the list goes on.
In the case of thyroid autoimmune diseases, it’s called thyroiditis, which can
refer to either Hashimoto’s, which is an autoimmune disease that slows the
thyroid down (hypothyroidism), or Graves’ Disease, which causes an
overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism).
It’s well known now that those with one autoimmune condition are more likely
to develop two or three more debilitating autoimmune conditions.
“People with Hashimoto thyroiditis have an increased risk of developing other

autoimmune disorders, including vitiligo, rheumatoid arthritis, Addison
disease, type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and pernicious anemia.” – source.
It is, therefore, essential to restore the functioning of the immune system in

order to manage the state of the immune system and, hence, your thyroid
challenges. To restore the immune system one must restore the health of the
gut.
Gut, Thyroid And The Immune Connection
It has been estimated that the gut wall contains about 80—85% of the immune
system. The good bacteria in the gut engage the lymphoid tissue, an integral
part of the immune system.
There are tons of lymphocytes and other immune cells in the gut, which
protect the body from viruses, bacteria, and other invaders. If the bacteria in
the gut are damaged or abnormal, there are far fewer lymphocytes, and the
immune system becomes compromised.
This can lead to the person developing chronic viral infections, allergies,
chronic colds, autoimmune disorders, and other similar complications.
!
What you need to know about the gut.
Everyone has bacteria in their digestive tract that is essential to the function
of the human body. A healthy adult has about 1.5 – 2 kg of bacteria in their
gut, both good and bad.
The different types of bacteria live in harmony, with the good bacteria keeping
a tight control on the bad. Normal levels of bacteria, also called micro flora, in
the gut protect against invaders, undigested food, toxins, and parasites. It
keeps the gut wall protected, takes an active part in the digestion and
absorption of food, and is essential to the immune function.
It helps to transport vitamins, minerals, water, gases, and other nutrients

through the gut wall and into the bloodstream. The bacteria also actively
synthesize various nutrients.
When the good and bad bacteria in the gut get out of balance, it’s referred to
as a dysbiosis, and a whole host of negative reactions can occur in the body.
!
Undigested foods can leak through into the bloodstream, causing food
allergies and Intolerances. Vitamins and minerals may not be absorbed,
leading to deficiencies and causing the bad bacteria to produce an excess of
toxins, and the immune system to stop functioning properly.
Do you often experience bloating, gas, constipation, acid reflux, burping or

bouts of diarrhea?
It is so common for so many people that we have grown to believe that it’s
normal to have frequent or chronic digestive issues. It’s very important to
understand that it is not only not normal, but also detrimental to your immune
system (remember, this is where the immune system starts) and therefore also
your thyroid health.
If you look at the picture on
the left you see healthy villi;
these are hair-like projections
located in the ileum, which is a
part of the digestive tract.
The villi are instrumental in

digesting carbohydrates,
proteins, and fats without
causing irritation of the intestinal walls.
The villi are also responsible for the absorption of vitamins and minerals from
the food we eat. The picture on the right is showing you a damaged form of
villi, which is common in people with chronic digestive issues.
When we say “chronic” it does not have to mean you must be in a constant
and debilitating pain; it just means you are frequently (a minimum of twice per
week) challenged with any of these: constipation, diarrhea, gas, bloating, acid
reflux, burping or intestinal pain.
!
What is “leaky gut” and why does it matter?
The intestinal walls are often irritated in those with intestinal permeability, also
known as “leaky gut.”
The term “leaky gut” is a non-medical, yet very real and descriptive way of
saying that the lining of the intestines is damaged and undigested food
particles “leak out” to the blood stream to wreak havoc in the body.
This chaos is largely created by the immune system launching an attack on

one’s own body parts when there is food “leaking out.”
Some of the food particles, like gluten, are said to look very similar to the
thyroid gland cells, and this is why so many people with thyroid conditions do
well when they stop ingesting gluten.
!
Autoimmune disease and a compromised gut create a vicious cycle.
A person suffering from an autoimmune disease invariably also suffers from

often unacknowledged gut issues.
The more inflammation in the autoimmune system, the more severe the gut
issues. In a vicious self-perpetuating cycle, a leaky gut causes flare–ups of
autoimmune conditions, which in turn further damages the gut lining.
Diagnosing leaky gut is not easy and the list of symptoms can be very long. It
includes conditions like constipation, intestinal pain, diarrhea, headaches, skin
problems (acne, eczema), frequent colds, stubborn weight gain, UTIs,
insomnia, and the list goes on.
Things that have a negative effect on gut flora:  
• Antibiotics and other drugs • Stress
• Diet, especially sugar and • Other: physical exertion, age,

processed food alcoholism, pollution, etc. 
• Diseases
!
Why do I need to change my diet?
Diet is an important component of a person’s health. The food that one

consumes affects the type and amount of bacteria in the gut, the functioning
of the immune system, and vitamin and mineral levels, among other things.
Poor diets can lead to improper digestive system functioning, food allergies
and intolerances, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and toxins leaking into the
bloodstream and, therefore, into the brain and nervous system.
All of these things can lead to a plethora of different health problems ranging
from autism and depression to thyroid dysfunction.
Making positive changes to the diet is the first step in cleansing the body. Only
then can we begin to repair the gut lining, dispose of built-up toxins, restore
immune system function, and see our health starting to shift.
Symptoms such as weight gain, fatigue, anxiety, constipation, difficulty

concentrating, diarrhea, and insomnia begin to disappear. Once the immune
system is repaired, the thyroid is no longer under any attack, and our body
can heal.
!
A stricter diet is often necessary.
If you have been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition like Hashimoto’s or

Graves’ Disease, it’s very likely that a simple diet improvement might not be
enough at this point.
Generic advice dispensed by mass media, such as “eat whole foods,” “choose
unprocessed snacks,” and “buy local produce” is not enough.
!
Isn’t the elimination/challenge diet we have tried good enough? How much
more can I be cutting out?
It became clear to many integrated physicians who believe in diets and holistic
nutritionists alike that a new, more stringent approach is sometimes necessary.
The diet must be very basic and simple so as not to trigger inflammation in
the intestines and worsen leaky gut and autoimmune flare-ups.
Food allergy and food intolerance tests (which, unbeknownst to many, are
two different tests) are infamously unreliable and can, therefore, not be
depended upon when it comes to repairing serious digestive issues.
How Is Sugar Impacting Your Thyroid?

When you feel hungry and you feel jittery, shaky, moody, unfocused and just
plain crappy, then this is bad news: your sugar levels drop too quickly and this
is either an onset of hypoglycemia (called reactive hypoglycemia) or full-
blown hypoglycemia.
You might have heard many people talk of feeling this way, but similar to
common digestive issues, this is not normal.
Oh, and don’t rely solely on the lab results of your glucose (fasting blood
sugar) or insulin HAC1 tests – they can be a great source of information, but
always listen to the way your body is signaling hunger by 3pm.
!
!
If, as described, you get moody, shaky, jittery, or unfocused, then this is the
time to be concerned. Here is the good news: you can reverse hypoglycemia
and even insulin resistance with a proper way of eating!
!
Why are your sugar levels so important?
In simple terms: you will never enjoy good health with a healthy thyroid if
your sugar levels are not well-managed and contained.
This is what happens when we consume all types of sugars, refined

carbohydrates and high-glycemic carbohydrates (like puffy rice cereals): to
bring the sugar levels back to normal, the pancreas excretes insulin into the
blood stream.
The pancreas, as you may or may not know (I didn’t at first!), is also part of
the endocrine system.
The endocrine system is a complex, intricate and sophisticated network of

glands, all of which produce hormones designed to balance each other out;
this means an imbalance of one will negatively impact the others.
So, back to the pancreas: when sugar spikes occur frequently from too much
cereals, bagels, pastas, bread, candy, or power bars, the pancreas begins to
overcompensate, releasing too much insulin into the blood stream.
Now the blood levels drop too low, and our adrenals (fight or flight hormones)
step in to save the day. You see, the adrenals interpret low sugar levels as a
“crisis mode” in the body and send out hormones to boost it.
When this happens chronically, the body systems that take a beating are the
digestive tract, the immune system (remember also that sugar is an immunity
suppressant), and the brain and lungs, as well as the adrenals, which are
driven to exhaustion.
I hope now you can see how reaching for an afternoon sugar fix is digging a
deeper hole into your thyroid crisis.
!
Sugar shockers
Many people think they eat well. You might be one of them. I was certainly
one of them, too.
Here is something I would like to share with you that many of us don’t realize:
simply read the product labels to really know how much sugar there is in the
products you buy and count, and just for a few days, calculate the amount of
sugar you consume.
!
Take a look at the meals of an average American and the amount of sugar
they contain. 3.8 grams is equal to 1 teaspoon of sugar.

cranberries and 1/2 sweet potato
dressing. !

Frappuccino
! Jerry Banana Split:
! ! !
69 grams
36 grams 24 grams
(not kidding)
OK, so here is the total: 170 grams of sugar. That’s 45 teaspoons.
Yes, this is not a typo. 3.8 grams of sugar = 1 teaspoon.
OK, take out the sinful Starbuck’s Frappucino, and we are still at 26.5
teaspoons.
How much sugar is a good amount to consume per day? 4-5 grams is
optimum and this includes sugar found in whole foods, like fruit and
vegetables.
Mass producers of processed foods are generous with sugar, catering to our
addiction to that substance, along with carbohydrates and grain-based diets.
As you can see from this example, it’s key to get an idea of how much sugar
we consume daily and how we feel because of it.
To repeat: the best test for your sugar levels is how you feel right after eating
or when you are getting hungry.
Feeling tired right after a meal could be a sign of insulin resistance, and feeling
shaky, moody and unfocused could be a sign of hypoglycemia, or the onset of
it.
!
What does it mean to crave sugar?
Food cravings are one of my all-time favorite topics, as they are our body’s
way of telling us that it needs something from us.
It’s like a voice from the inside that says, “I need your help to feel balanced,” or
“I need something to feed an addiction or to fill a void.”
A chocolate craving, for example, is not a sugar craving; it’s most often a sign
of a magnesium deficiency.
Craving meat should not be seen as a particularly bad craving – it often just
means our body needs animal protein, iron and/or vitamin B, as it might be
deficient of them.
So what about craving sugar and carbs like pasta and breads? About 60% of
the people with whom I work struggle with this craving, so don’t beat yourself
up if that’s you, too. It’s not about being weak. It’s not about being greedy for
sweets.
Here are a few reasons why you could be craving sugar:
• Candida (yeast overgrowth in the gut, reproductive organs or skin)
• Low blood sugar
• Deficiency in chromium, sulfur, tryptophan or phosphorus
!
Keep reading to find out how to address your sugar addiction.
“Yes, but I’m already a healthy eater!”

The majority of my clients say this
when we first speak. I fully
understand where you are coming
from – I was a healthy eater too.
The important questions are: “What

is healthy?” and “What is right for
you?” A couple of things I suggest
considering:
!
!
Reason #1: Misconception of what is “good food.”
For example, many people still see low-fat diets, protein powders or fortified
food as healthy.
There is sufficiently strong evidence today to show their detrimental impact

on our health.
Reason #2: Food sensitivities you don’t know you have.
You might have food sensitivities, which are different from allergies and often
misdiagnosed by most doctors.
If, for example, you are sensitive to eggs, eating even organic eggs will still
create havoc in your immune system. Food sensitivities compromise the
immune system. You need to find and eliminate them.
Reason #3: Imbalanced digestive microflora
Remember that your health starts in your gut. Food intolerances, pathogenic
bacteria, yeast, parasites and internal and external toxic load create an
inflamed immune system.
Reason #4: Heavy metal toxicity.
Toxicity from heavy metals such as mercury and lead, PCBs, BPAs, chlorine,
and fluoride all can trigger autoimmune diseases, and they are all ominously
present in our modern lives. Do you know where to find them?
Reason #5: Marketing
Marketing claims and perceptions created by large food companies cause us

to trust food that has little nutritional value or is often detrimental to our
health by being highly processed, and loaded with chemicals, sugar and
sodium.
Just look at the innocent lemon tea from Snapple marketed as a healthy,
everyday drink... with 36 grams of sugar, which equals 9.5 teaspoons, nearly
ten times the recommended daily allowance.
Why Should You NOT Be Happy With

Taking Synthroid (or any other medication)
Alone?
We are NOT saying you should not take Synthroid or any other medication.
You need it to function properly. Synthroid, Armour, Levoxyl, etc., provide a
hormonal replacement therapy to give you the hormone (T4) you are not
producing sufficiently.
What these hormone-replacing drugs are not addressing is the underlying

reasons why you are having thyroid challenges in the first place.
If you have lost your thyroid to cancer or RAI (radio-active iodine), you will, of
course, need to be on medications (or hormone-replacement therapy) for life.
However, optimizing your digestive health will benefit you all around, and your
thyroid meds will be utilized far more effectively.
But, in parallel to a pill-popping morning ritual, start thinking critically and
take action to re-build your overall health by re-building your digestive health
first.
Consider this analogy: imagine your house having a leak in your roof and you
continually repainting the walls inside the room under the leak every day so
you don’t see the mold growing. Taking Synthroid every day is like re-painting
this wall. Would you not rather fix the roof, since this is where the leak is? Or in
other words, why would you not get to the root of the problem?
You can hear a fuller explanation of why medication alone is not enough to
significantly improve your thyroid health by watching this members-only 7-
minute video.
So, What Exactly Is a Thyroid Diet?
To explain Thyroid Diet, allow me to address three pillars. I developed these
pillars while asking myself three fundamental questions:
Pillar 1: What can I REMOVE from my current diet and lifestyle that is
sabotaging my immune system and my thyroid?
Pillar 2: What can I ADD to my life to boost the immune system, detox the
body and help the thyroid?
Pillar 3: How can I find a BALANCE in what I’m doing so I don’t go crazy, and
instead really learn to enjoy my new life?
!
Pillar 1: REMOVE what is detrimental and toxic to your thyroid.
a) SUGAR FLUCTUATIONS
This means sugar cravings, hypoglycemia or insulin resistance, and

normalizing these first is key in restoring thyroid health.
Without fixing your sugar issues, your thyroid will never improve. This is
because the pancreas is responsible for sugar metabolism, and similar to the
thyroid, the pancreas is also part of the endocrine system. As you can imagine,
these glands are all intricately interconnected.
A few tips for you to manage sugar fluctuations:
• Start reading product labels to see how much sugar is in your food.
3.8g = 1 teaspoon. For example, a Caramel Frappuccino from Starbucks
has 69g of sugar = 18 teaspoons. Activia’s yoghurt proclaimed as
“healthy food” has 7 teaspoons. Try not to consume more than 5
teaspoons of sugar daily, especially if you are having a sugar problem.
• Start the day with a high-protein, high-fat breakfast. It will help you
stabilize your sugar levels for the day; you won’t crash at 11am and
won’t crave sugar and snacks during the day. Reduce processed
carbohydrates; we are a carbs-obsessed and addicted nation, with
carbs constituting 50-60% of our diet, much of which is coming from
grains. Grains, especially in the form of flour contain starch that feeds
the pathogenic bacteria in your gut and worsens the problem.
• For great breakfast ideas, head over this section of my recipes.

Breakfast will never be the same!
• Reduce processed carbohydrates. Again, this is sugar too, especially

from chips, cereals, puffy grains and flour, even the gluten-free versions.
!
b) FOOD INTOLERANCES
Have you seen “gluten-free,” “dairy-free,” etc., popping up at the health stores
lately? This is because many people are trying to rid their diets of the big five
(gluten, dairy, corn, eggs and soy) in search of significant changes to their
health.
You can also have a food intolerance IgG test done, which is different from an
allergy test, but they are still far from accurate.
Gluten is an infamous food if you have a thyroid condition, and eliminating it is

pivotal in restoring healthy functions. However, you often need to cut out
more than just gluten.
!
c) FIX YOUR DIGESTIVE TRACK (aka GUT)
As mentioned above, most thyroid conditions are autoimmune diseases. There

are multitudes of lymphocytes and other immune cells in the gut, which
protect the body from viruses, bacteria, and other invaders.
This is why most people with thyroid conditions also experience frequent
bloating, gas, constipation or diarrhea. A diet change will help your gut
tremendously. “All diseases begin in the gut,” said Hippocrates, the father of
Western medicine, and I’m not sure why this is not taught in medical school
today.
Reduction and total elimination of food intolerances is the first and most
important step in restoring the health of the gut.
c) REDUCE TOXICITY
Reduce toxicity from additives, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, excessive

sodium, trans-fats, parasites, candida and pathogenic bacteria, as well as
toxins hiding around your house.
Water toxicity is a HUGE factor in thyroid conditions; in the US, most

municipalities add fluoride to the water supply, and that chemical is now
linked to slowing down the thyroid. Fluoride is believed to be leaching on to
the thyroid cells, inhibiting the uptake of iodine, hence the production of the
thyroid hormone (T4). Pick a water filter that removes fluoride (many do not).
d) DETOX
It is crucial to detox your liver and your gut, as this is where the inactive T4
hormone gets converted to T3, the active hormone that powers us up. Most of
our body cells need T3, not T4. If you are taking Synthroid, you are taking a
synthetic version of T4 that still needs to be converted to T3.
If you have a sluggish liver and gut, you won’t convert properly. Try doing a
yearly or bi-yearly detox by fasting or juicing to give your body a break.
Look out for our Spring and Fall Detox program, either Live or as a DIY
program. It’s a highly thyroid-tailored program and it does not include any
cruciferous vegetables (they are full of goitrogens known to inhibit the thyroid
function) which are widely used in most generic detox programs.
You can also learn how to calculate your own toxic load impacting your
hormones in the free workshop posted on www.ThyroidDetox.com.
e) ADDRESS STRESS and ADRENAL FATIGUE
This is a hugely important topic, especially with women. You won’t be able to
fix your thyroid without fixing the adrenals. The adrenals are also a part of the
endocrine system and fire up when you are stressed.
The stress that exhausts the adrenals does not have to come from your
emotional responses. Stress can also be brought upon by chronic digestive
issues as well as hypoglycemia. Both were covered in the earlier sections.
I recommend looking into adrenal fatigue symptoms to see if you are

exhibiting signs of them. De-stress by working with a therapist or life coach,
meditating, developing a regimen of physical activity, or practicing breathing
exercises and positive thinking; whatever works for you will work toward your
health.
f). REDUCE RAW GOITROUS / CRUCIFEROUS FOOD
Goiter is a substance that slows down the thyroid. It is found in bok choy,
broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, mustard greens, radishes,
soy, soy milk, soy lecithin (often used as a filler in vegetarian food) and tofu.
Cooking them reduces their goitrous properties. Some thyroid experts advise
reducing this group of vegetables altogether. I do NOT agree with this advice
for a few reasons:
1) These vegetables are highly nutritious and will provide an

abundance of much-needed vitamins and minerals. I’m therefore of the
opinion they should NOT be eliminated.
2). Goitrous vegetables, also known as crucifers, have wonderful

estrogen balancing properties, and estrogen dominance is a very
common hormonal imbalance experienced, sadly, by most women with
thyroid conditions. Estrogen dominance is the leading cause of thyroid
cancers and nodules.
3). Crucifers support the liver detoxification pathways - this is

necessary for the conversion of the T4 hormone to T3.
The trick is to consume these foods in cooked form: steamed, sautéed, grilled
or boiled.
!
Pillar 2: ADD what your thyroid needs to start healing.
a) NUTRITIONALLY DENSE FOOD
Food that is nutritionally dense and provides all the key macro- and micro-
nutrients in good ratios needs to be added in place of sugar-rich
monstrosities.
Some tips for adding to your diet:
• Always choose organic produce, as it is more nutrition-packed and

free of hormones that are known to interrupt our endocrine system.
• Meat must be organic at the very least, but preferably pasture-raised
and grass-fed. We want to eliminate antibiotics and growth hormones
from our diet. Organs meats are significantly higher in nutrition than
muscle meat, especially vitamin A, B12, B6, selenium and iron.
• Food that is FERMENTED the traditional way; sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir,

homemade yoghurt (if you can tolerate dairy), and dill pickles are all
rich in probiotics, which help balance the gut flora.
b) PROTEINS and FATS
These are the building blocks of both your digestive track and your hormones.
We are fat-o-phobic in America, and low-fat diets are one of the worst things
we invented.
Europeans and Asians traditionally sustain fat-rich diets and still enjoy much
better health than we do. Choose foods rich in good fats, such as avocados,
walnuts, coconut oil, and coconut butter.
Animal fats are best for restoring a troubled digestive system; ghee (clarified
butter), butter, chicken and beef fat are essential, but need to be rendered, not
in fried or processed form, for maximum health benefits.
c) PROBIOTICS are key in restoring your digestive tract.
Everyone has bacteria in their digestive tract that is essential to the function
of the human body.
A healthy adult has about 1.5 – 2 kg of bacteria in their gut, both good and
bad. Normal levels of bacteria, or flora, in the gut protects against invaders,
undigested food, toxins, and parasites.
When the good and bad bacteria in the gut get out of balance, a whole host
of negative reactions can occur in the body.
Undigested foods can leak through into the bloodstream, causing food
allergies and intolerances, along with vitamin and mineral non-absorption,
leading to deficiencies, with the bad bacteria producing a whole heap of
toxins, and the immune system functioning improperly.
Here are examples of traditionally fermented foods you could incorporate into
your diet:
• Sauerkraut (choose properly fermented, not in vinegar)
• Kimchi (Korean fermented veggies)
• Yoghurt (check out my recipe to make your own yoghurt)
• Kefir (has different bacteria than yoghurt, also super beneficial)
• Vegetable medley (fermented)
• Coconut water kefir

(d) HERBS, SUPPLEMENTS and VITAMINS
I’m a fan of getting these from REAL food whenever possible, as too many
people over-medicate with synthetic versions and feel worse later. These tips
were given by my naturopath, who focuses on hormonal and thyroid health,
and apply to most auto-immune conditions.
Most people are Vit D deficient. Taking Vit D in 2,000-5,000 units is safe
and healthful, as Vit D is actually a hormone, connected to the thyroid.
Calcium is fundamental, but needs to be taken with magnesium, vitamin

D and K2 for full absorption. Fat needs to be present for the vitamins to
be absorbed.
For hypothyroidism: selenium, turmeric/curcumin, and phytosterols, and

for GI support: probiotics and L-Glutamine are vital.
For hyperthyroidism: copper and magnesium are a common deficiency.
e) SIMPLE MEDITATION, BREATHING and VISUALIZATION techniques that

manage stress and emotions I cannot emphasize enough how important this
is, especially for people with hyperthyroidism.
We underestimate what stress and emotions do to us; each flare-up of anger,

along with feelings of guilt, fear, hostility, or jealousy, fire up the adrenals,
which then release cortisol, and this hormone has a detrimental impact on the
thyroid.
f) MOVEMENT PLAN
Whether it is sports, dancing, or yoga, choose an activity that gets you

moving without draining your adrenals and your thyroid, yet gives you a sense
of accomplishment and joy.
Pillar 3: BALANCE based on your bio-individuality
No one diet or lifestyle plan works for everybody, as each person has a unique
way of healing.
There is a saying: “One person’s food is another’s poison.” It’s always worth
remembering that just because one diet worked for one person it does not
mean it will work for you, too.
One person could have healed their thyroid by just changing their water filters
and eliminating fluoride, while another needs to implement five major diet and
lifestyle changes to start feeling just a little better. Let’s respect our
differences.
I think you might be also interested to listen to my free workshop called “How
to Use Food to Rebalance Your Hormones.” You will not only learn how to eat
for thyroid health but also how other hormones like estrogen and cortisol
impact the thyroid gland.
