Key Takeaways
Thyroid Nodules Explained: Thyroid nodules are lumps or growths on the thyroid gland. Most (95%) are non-cancerous, but investigation is crucial to determine the type.
Causes of Thyroid Nodules: Inflammation (thyroiditis, Hashimoto's), iodine deficiency, deficiencies in vitamins/minerals (selenium, zinc, vitamin D), radiation exposure, and smoking are discussed as potential causes. Cancer is also mentioned as a less frequent cause.
Dietary Changes: Removing inflammatory foods (processed foods, fast food, fried food, gluten, dairy) and incorporating thyroid-supportive foods (green leafy vegetables, Brazil nuts, seaweed, foods high in zinc and omega-3 fatty acids) is recommended.
Supplements: Zinc, selenium, and vitamin D supplementation are suggested, along with a combination of curcumin, spirulina, and chlorella, based on a cited research study.
Stress Management: Stress reduction techniques like meditation, yoga, and deep breathing are advised to reduce inflammation and hormone imbalance.
