Q: Troy asks: What's the best diet for Hashimoto's?…58:20

Ben Recommends:
  • Hashimoto's, or Chronic Lymphocytic Thyroiditis – not only an autoimmune disorder of the thyroid but of the entire immune system
    • If left untreated can do a lot of damage to the thyroid
    • Estimates that 90% of hypothyroidism is related to Hashimoto's disease
  • Decrease the intake or the exposure to compounds (immune-reacting foods) that could be causing the production of these antibodies
    • Gluten
    • Grain foods in general – grains that have not been sprouted or fermented
    • Vegetable oils, refined oils like safflower oil, sunflower oil, canola oil, corn oil can also be inflammatory and can trigger an immune reaction
    • Eliminating nightshades, seeds, nuts, most dairy products, and soy
  • Consume foods or compounds that help to support the thyroid
  • Toxic by Neil Nathan
    • take note of high EMF environments and cleaning the personal environment in general
  • Boundless by Ben Greenfield
