Can You Heal Hashimotos on a Vegan Diet? ▫️ The answer is 👎🏻 and here is why... ▫️ 1️⃣ Excessive blood sugar imbalances – People with Hashimoto’s are already suffering with lack of sugar storage and blood sugar issues, which, can be exacerbated by a heavy carbohydrate vegan or even vegetarian diet. ▫️ 2️⃣ Gut healing – Remember Hashimoto’s is an immune system suppression issue, not a thyroid issue. Most of your immune system is in your gut. Excessive intake of non-meat “protein” sources such as beans, grains, soy, nuts, and seeds can be very triggering and reactive, which can perpetuate gut issues such as leaky gut. ▫️ 3️⃣ Nutrient deficienies - "Vegan diets put people at a risk for MANY nutrient deficiency’s such as Vitamin A, B3, B9, B12, D, calcium, copper, iodine, iron, magnesium, carnitine, manganese, and zinc.” - Dr. Izabella Wentz ▫️ 🔐 The micronutrients we receive from the breakdown of the food we eat act as the catalyst to every function in your body. Iron for example, is ESSENTIAL for the conversion of T4 to T3.  ▫️ The argument 🗣will be that vegetarians receive plant 🌱 based iron sources however these are less readily absorbed by the body when compared to more optimal sources of heme iron- beef 🥩 , liver and shellfish 🦐 . ▫️ So what diet is best? 👉🏻A diet that provides BALANCE in its macro and micro nutrients. The balance of macros from metabolic carbohydrates (roots, fruits and squashes), high quality animal protein/fat will help regulate the blood sugar and energy needs of the system. ▫️ By meeting the body’s energy needs, digestion is upregulated making the micronutrients from the food you eat more bioavailable and very effective at restore vitamin and mineral deficiencies and thyroid health. ▫️ How do you know if your diet is working? 🔥Your energy is more level – less fluctuations 🔥Your digestive issues are improved 🔥Sleep has improved 🔥Mood is more stable 🔥Body temperature and pulse readings begin to follow normal patterns 🔥You require less supplements . . #hashimotos #hashimotosdisease #autoimmunedisease #hyperactiveimmunesystem #suppressedimmunesystem #thyroidhealing #thyroidhealth #vegandiet #plantbaseddiet #realfoodgangstas https://www.instagram.com/p/BvjjkXgAFbz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uayx4eeyers2
