The following items can stress the thyroid: smoking, exposure to fluoride (from tap water, commercial tooth paste, etc.), exposure to mercury (e.g., leaching from silver fillings, etc.) or other heavy metals, exposure to chemical toxins from body care and home cleaning products, consuming soy products (that are not fermented) such as soy protein powder, not enough natural iodine in the diet, stress from surgery, radiation treatment to the head, neck or chest, exposure to radioactive fallout or radioactive iodine treatment or chronic stress.

First, adopt a natural whole foods diet that is full of living enzymes. Enzymes are substances that are needed for every chemical reaction that takes place in the body. No vitamin, mineral or hormone can do any work without enzymes. They help build our body from proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.

Fresh, organic fruits and vegetables. Avoid eating commercial produce or meat due to their high content of pesticide residues. Pesticides act as xeno-estrogens (i.e., toxic, foreign estrogens) that can inhibit thyroid function and disturb healthy body physiology.

Adequate protein is important for thyroid function, but a high protein diet (which is currently so popular) is high in phosphorus, which can trigger calcium loss, inducing low tissue oxygen, which in turn can keep the thyroid reved too high and your body pH too low. For high-quality, organic protein, use 2 to 4 tbsp. of Lean-Body Whey Protein Blend™ daily. In addition, eat a diet rich in natural fruits and vegetables to ensure an alkaline body pH, the key to the best thyroid support as well as great health.
