Thank you so much for pointing out just how the body starts making excess Adrenaline when hypothyroid.
I have been hypothyroid for many decades, and in recent years I’m finding it almost impossible to stop my TSH from going up to 40/50/60’s – IE – scary high levels of Hypothyroidism.
I have also suffered 5 Takotsubo (or Broken Heart Syndrome) heart ‘attacks’ in recent years, and feel lucky to still be here on the planet at all!!
Furthermore, I keep telling the Cardiologists and other Medical staff that excess adrenaline caused by poor thyroid function is the reason.
I have read that the body can be running about 40% more adrenaline in these circumstances.
So far, no one cares a jot.
They are not interested – because Endocrinology is not interested either.
They have one paradigm, and gold standard mantra – which they insist covers every human being who has an apparent hypothyroid condition.
Their ‘short synacthen test’ of course PROVES that my adrenal glands are working just fine, no further discussion allowed.

A very informative article. Do you have a suggested nutrition plan for Graves hyperthyroidism?

In reply to Florian. I'm glad you found our site Florian! Cooking cruciferous veggies releases goitrogens. I don't recommend eating them raw because they contain active goitrogens and are challenging to digest. I offer more information in this article here.

Hey,
love your content! Are goitrogens also bad for healthy people? Is eating half a head of cauliflower / broccoli a day a safe amount! Thanks!
Kind regards

In reply to Mary. Hey Mary, Eating large amounts of raw cruciferous vegetables can inhibit iodine uptake. The amount you would need to consume would be over 3 lbs of raw cruciferous vegetables for it to be a possible issue with iodine update and most people don't get anywhere close to this. If you want to eat a lot of cruciferous veggies, just be sure to steam them to remove a lot of the goitrogenic substances and make them easier to digest. These foods are otherwise nutrient dense and a recommended source of micronutrients for individuals with hypothyroidism.

Hi all. I have been reading lately about food that can help healing hashimoto thyroid problems and I got confused. The writers are medical professionals. Ones said that broccoli, cauliflower, broussel , iodine is bad food for this disease and on this article it shows the opposites.
