Are you struggling with thyroid imbalance? Whether it's hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, managing thyroid health naturally is possible with the right lifestyle and dietary approach.
As a clinical dietitian, I’m Shreya Oza, and I’ve helped hundreds of clients naturally manage their thyroid levels without extreme medications. Here’s a science-backed, sustainable approach to control thyroid naturally through food, lifestyle, and smart habits.
✅ What is Thyroid and Why Does It Matter?
The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in your neck. It plays a critical role in regulating metabolism, hormones, weight, energy, and mood. Imbalance can lead to:
-
Weight gain or loss
-
Fatigue
-
Hair fall
-
Menstrual issues
-
Mood swings
-
Constipation
🌿 Natural Ways to Control Thyroid Function
1. Adopt a Thyroid-Friendly Diet
Eating the right foods can help manage thyroid function and reduce symptoms.
Foods to Include:
-
Iodine-rich foods (but not in excess): Rock salt, seaweed, iodized salt.
-
Selenium-rich foods: Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, brown rice.
-
Zinc sources: Pumpkin seeds, lentils, cashews.
-
Antioxidants: Amla, berries, green tea, turmeric.
-
Complex carbs & fiber: Bajra, jowar, oats, brown rice.
-
Superfoods: Moringa, spirulina, ashwagandha (under guidance).
-
Anti-inflammatory spices: Turmeric, curry leaves, ginger.
🍵 Morning Detox Tip: Start your day with warm water + ajwain or jeera water for better metabolism.
2. Avoid Goitrogens in Excess
Raw cruciferous vegetables like cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli may interfere with thyroid function. Eat them steamed or cooked to reduce impact.
3. Manage Stress Levels
Stress can worsen thyroid issues. Include:
-
Yoga & Pranayama (especially Anulom-Vilom, Bhramari)
-
Mindfulness meditation
-
Nature walks
4. Get Adequate Sleep
Poor sleep disrupts hormonal balance. Aim for 7–8 hours of quality sleep every night.
5. Check Vitamin D and B12
Deficiencies in Vitamin D and B12 are common in thyroid patients. Include:
-
Morning sunlight (15 mins daily)
-
Fortified milk, paneer, nutritional yeast
-
Supplements if necessary (after testing)
🚫 Avoid These for Better Thyroid Health
-
Processed foods and refined sugar
-
Deep-fried items

Excess soy products

Fluoride-containing toothpaste (optional switch)
