"Hyperthyroidism" is a condition where the thyroid gland produces excess thyroid hormones, speeding up metabolism and overstimulating body systems. This can lead to symptoms like weight loss, rapid heartbeat, anxiety, and heat intolerance. In some cases, an enlarged thyroid (goiter) may appear. Untreated, it increases the risk of heart issues and bone loss. Diagnosis includes hormone testing and imaging. Treatment typically involves medication or radioactive iodine to slow hormone production and stabilize thyroid function over time.

Things To Do
The dietary recommendations for hyperthyrodism include:
a whole-foods-based diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, meat, fish, legumes, whole grains, and healthy fats.
including foods that contain goitrogens, such as cruciferous vegetables, kale, collard greens, mustard greens, turnips, kohlrabi, lineseed, peaches, pears, peanuts, etc.
incorporating carnitine-containing foods, such as red meat, chicken, fish, avocados, beans, etc.
iron-containing foods, such as meats, fish, dark leafy greens, seeds, whole grains, etc.
selenium-rich foods, such as meat, mushrooms, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, Brazil nuts, etc.
healthy fats, such as fatty fish and seafood, avocados, unsalted nuts and seeds, olives, olive oil, flaxseed oil, etc.
staying hydrated. Drinking quality mineral water and herbal teas.
Other recommendations include:
stress reduction that can be achieved through the practice of yoga, mindfulness, and meditation.
Applying a high-calorie, healthy diet can promote weight gain when necessary.
moderate-intesnity regular exercise.
get quality sleep.
reduce exposure to endocrine disruptors. Xenobiotics are found in pesticides, cosmetics, household cleaning supplies, food additives, drugs, etc.
Things To Avoid
There are foods and products that should be avoided in hyperthyrodism. These are:
processed, junk, and fast foods. They contain high amounts of additives, salt, trans fats, refined carbohydrates, and sugar.
packaged foods that contain added salt.
iodine-rich foods that should be reduced. They include egg yolks, shellfish, dairy products, iodized salt, etc.
soy-containing foods.
gluten. Hyperthyrodism is more common in people suffering from Celiac disease.
caffeine, caffeinated drinks, soft drinks, etc.
foods you are allergic to or intolerant of.
Furthermore, avoid the following:
excessive stress,
smoking, which contributes to thyroid dysfunction.
lack of sleep.
physical inactivity.
excessive weight loss,
address your speedy metabolism, which can lead to nutrient malabsorption.
