As a thyroid expert, people often ask me, “Where should I start if I want to heal my thyroid disease naturally?”
It’s a great question!
I believe the best place to start healing any condition is with a holistic view.
Meaning, don’t just take a recommended medication, herb, or supplement blindly without understanding “why” you are taking it. And even deeper than that, is to understand how the thyroid gland got out of balance in the first place.
Is your thyroid condition physical, emotional, energetic, environmental, or spiritual?
By educating yourself with a wider perspective, you’ll get to know your thyroid gland and what it needs from multiple angles.
If you don’t learn this vital knowledge, you may not be able to fully heal, and the condition will keep returning over and over again.
That’s the western medical model that keeps you trapped in the system taking medication for the rest of your life. And, it won’t benefit your health in the long run.
To start your healing journey, I pulled together some articles to give you insight and education into healing and feeling your best.
Always remember that healing takes time.
Be patient with your thyroid gland and give it the time, attention, ingredients, and love that it needs.
With a greater perspective healing is inevitable.
The ONE Thing You Can Do to Heal Thyroid Disease
In modern society we are always searching for a quick fix – the “one thing” that will help us.
And it’s not just for thyroid disease, but every condition you can think of.
It’s not your fault. It’s the way we have been conditioned through the media, advertising, and modern medical model.
We have been brainwashed to believe there is ONE magic pill we can take to cure our ailments – but that couldn’t be further from the truth. And, if we continue thinking that way, it will lead to a long road of disappointments and failures that leave us feeling defeated.
Always keep in mind that it takes more than just one thing to heal the thyroid. Read more here: The One Thing You Can Do to Heal Thyroid Disease
The Raw Truth About Thyroid Health
I love raw foods, especially in the summertime.
Unfortunately, there are many raw foods that do NOT work well for the thyroid gland and can inhibit iodine uptake.
Here’s an example of an email I got from someone that is eating raw foods and it’s not working.
“I’m trying everything I can to lose weight and heal my thyroid condition, but it’s not working. I eat a plant-based diet with lots of raw vegetables and smoothies. I keep feeling more and more exhausted. What am I doing wrong?” – Susan
The first thing I told her is to get off the RAW foods!
Raw foods are wonderful, delicious and nutritious, but they are not necessarily good for all conditions. Especially, not for someone suffering from a “cold” thyroid condition.
In this Raw Truth article, you’ll discover that there is a time and place for raw foods.
Radiate My Thyroid? No Freakin’ Way!
One of the reasons how I became a thyroid expert is by experiencing my own journey dealing with what the my doctor said was “an incurable thyroid condition.”
Had I listened to the doctor and radiated my thyroid when I was first diagnosed with hyperthyroid over 25 years ago, I would not be sharing any of this knowledge about natural healing with you and millions of other people around the world.
I am truly grateful for my illness as it taught me much about how to obtain real health and wellness using a truly holistic model. You can read more about that here: Radiate My Thyroid?!

Most People Don’t Know This About Healing the Thyroid
The thyroid is an amazing gland and it does a lot of work in the human body.

If you are suffering from symptoms of thyroid disease, your body is speaking to you and letting you know that something is amiss.
Your thyroid, as the master communicator, is warning you that the quality of your nutrition, stress levels, immunity, circulation, emotional health, and environment need to be assessed and altered in some way.
The thyroid is literally speaking to you and it’s wise to hear what the gland is saying, and then make the necessary adjustments.

Gaining Weight and Unable to Lose it is NOT Due to a Faulty Thyroid
Nine out of ten clients struggling with thyroid conditions are concerned about their weight.
And, I totally get it!
