Hyperthyroidism is the over production of hormones by the thyroid gland. Your thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located at the front of your neck. This gland produces thyroid hormones known as T3 and T4. These hormones help your body use energy, balance body temperature and assist your brain, heart and other organs in functioning properly.
| Symptoms |
- Swollen thyroid gland
- Prominent, protruding eyes
- Increased metabolic rate, a condition termed as hyper metabolic state
- Irregular or rapid heartbeat
- Increased blood pressure
- Shaking hands
- Increased sweating
- Hot flashes
- Irritability and restlessness
- Increased bowel movement
- Weight loss
- Weakness
- Difficulty sleeping
- Brittle hair
- Hair loss
- Nausea and/or vomiting
- Irregular menstrual cycles or amenorrhea in women
- Breast development in men

| Root Causes |
|
Graves’ Disease (Most Common)
-
Autoimmune disorder where the immune system produces antibodies (TSI – thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulins) that stimulate the thyroid.
- Causes diffuse thyroid enlargement (goiter) and excessive hormone production.
- Often associated with eye symptoms (Graves’ orbitopathy or exophthalmos).
2. Toxic Multinodular Goiter (Plummer’s Disease)
- Multiple autonomously functioning thyroid nodules produce excess hormones.
- More common in older adults and in iodine-deficient areas.
- Unlike Graves’, it lacks eye involvement.
3. Toxic Adenoma
- A single autonomous nodule in the thyroid produces thyroid hormone independent of TSH regulation.
- Often detected as a solitary "hot" nodule on thyroid scan.
4. Thyroiditis (inflammation of the thyroid)
- Includes subacute, painless (silent), postpartum, or Hashitoxicosis (early stage of Hashimoto’s).
- Causes temporary release of stored thyroid hormone into the bloodstream due to inflammation or immune attack.
- May lead to transient hyperthyroidism, then return to normal or become hypothyroid.
5. Excess Iodine Intake
- Sudden or chronic exposure to large amounts of iodine (from contrast dyes, supplements like kelp, or certain medications like amiodarone) can trigger hyperthyroidism, especially in people with nodular thyroids.
6. Exogenous Thyroid Hormone Use
- Taking too much levothyroxine or liothyronine (T3), either accidentally or intentionally.
- Common in people on thyroid hormone replacement or those abusing it for weight loss.
7. Rare Causes
-
TSH-secreting pituitary adenoma: A tumor that produces too much TSH (rare).
-
Struma ovarii: A rare ovarian tumor made of thyroid tissue that can produce thyroid hormone.
-
Metastatic thyroid cancer: Rarely, some cancers produce thyroid hormone.
Look at all toxicity affecting the thyroid gland such as dental issues, heavy metal toxins, viral issues, vaccinations, etc. Genetic Miasms are often the culprit in this condition (particularly Syphilitic and Sycosis miasms).

| Nutritional Support Items |
|
VERY IMPORTANT:
-
Multivitamin and mineral complex (NS Liquid Life, NS Colloidal Minerals Plus): Increased amounts of vitamins and minerals are needed for this “hyper” metabolic condition. Take as directed on label.
-
Vitamin B complex, plus extra vitamin B1 (thiamine), and vitamin B2 (riboflavin), and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) (EQ B Complex, AI B Complex): Vitamin B complex is needed for thyroid function. Vitamin B1 (thiamine), is needed for blood formation and energy levels. Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) is required for normal functioning of all cells, glands, and organs in the body. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) activates many enzymes and is needed for immune function and antibody production. For vitamin B complex, take 50 mg of each major B vitamin (thiamine and riboflavin) 3 times daily, with meals. Amounts of individual vitamins in a complex will vary. Do not exceed 35 mg niacin, 100 mg vitamin B6, and 1,000 mcg folate daily. Injections (under a doctor’s supervision) may be necessary. For vitamin B1 (thiamine), take 50 mg twice daily. For vitamin B2 (riboflavin), take 50 mg twice daily. For vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), take up to 50 mg twice daily.
HELPFUL:
- Essential fatty acids (NS Omega Complete): Needed for correct glandular function. Take as directed on label.
- Vitamin C with bioflavonoids (NS Liposomal Vitamin C: Especially important in this stressful condition. Take up to 2,000 mg daily.
- Vitamin E (EQ Initial E): An antioxidant and necessary nutrient. However, excessive amounts may stimulate the thyroid gland. Take 90 mg (200 IU) daily or 180 mg (400 IU) every other day.

The mineral iodine plays a key role in making thyroid hormones. A low-iodine diet helps to reduce thyroid hormones. Add these foods to your daily diet:
- Decaffeinated coffee or tea (without milk or dairy- or soy-based creamers)
- Egg whites
- Fresh or canned fruit
- Unsalted nuts and nut butters
- Homemade bread or breads made without salt, dairy, and eggs
- Popcorn with non-iodized salt
- Oats
- Potatoes
- Honey
- Maple syrup
- Cruciferous vegetables and other types may stop your thyroid from using iodine properly. They may be
- beneficial for hyperthyroidism:
- Bamboo shoots
- Bok choy
- Broccoli
- Brussels sprouts
- Cassava
- Cauliflower
- Collard greens
- Kale
- Mustard
- Rutabaga
Low levels of iron are linked to hyperthyroidism. Get plenty of iron in your diet with foods such as:
- Dried beans
- Green leafy vegetables
- Lentils
- Nuts
- Poultry, such as chicken and turkey
- Red meat
- Seeds
- Whole grains
Selenium-rich foods may help to balance thyroid hormone levels and protect your thyroid from disease. Selenium helps to prevent cell damage and keep your thyroid and other tissues healthy. Good food sources of selenium include:
- Brazil nuts
- Couscous
- Chia seeds
- Mushrooms
- Tea
- Meat, such as beef and lamb
- Rice
- Oat bran
- Poultry, such as chicken and turkey
- Sunflower seeds
Zinc helps you use food for energy. This mineral also helps keep your immune system and thyroid healthy. Food sources of zinc include:
- Pumpkin seeds
- Cashews
- Chickpeas
- Cocoa powder
Hyperthyroidism causes weak and brittle bones. Bone mass may be restored with treatment. Vitamin D and calcium are necessary for building healthy bones. Calcium-rich foods include:
- Spinach
- Collard greens
- White beans
- Kale
- Okra
- Calcium-fortified orange juice
- Almond milk
- Calcium-fortified cereals

- Avoid excess iodine foods
- Avoid or limit foods with soy
In some people, gluten may harm the thyroid by causing inflammation. Even if you don’t have a gluten
allergy or intolerance, it may be beneficial to restrict or limit gluten. |
