"Lisa Markley, MS, RDN, a dietitian with over a decade of nutrition and culinary experience, has co-authored The Essential Thyroid Cookbook with Jill Grunewald, HNC, an integrative nutrition and hormone coach who's been in practice for over a decade successfully guiding her clients and students with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's (autoimmune thyroiditis) to health and vitality. Lisa and Jill have a mission to help you reclaim your health by translating simple, thyroid- and immune-supportive nutrition to the plate, with a substantive educational component as well as over 100 original food as medicine recipes that provide you with maximum nourishment for your thyroid and immune system. Hashimoto's is one of the most common autoimmune diseases and thyroid problems are among the most prevalent yet overlooked conditions that compromise women's health today. (Additionally, men are being diagnosed in increasing numbers.) Lisa and Jill have experienced the challenges of Hashimoto's first-hand through their own diagnoses and they've discovered that the most impactful way to reduce symptoms and improve thyroid and immune health is to focus on sound nutrition strategies. The authors took a rigorous academic approach to this cookbook. In preparation for the choices of ingredients, Jill and Lisa created a nutritional springboard that is the foundation for their recipes. They extensively researched the most supportive nutrients for the thyroid and immune system and then identified foods that are dense sources of these nutrients. Each recipe or recipe combination had to contain at least 5 supportive nutrients to make the cut. Many Americans are deficient in the nutrients required to maintain and restore healthy thyroid function. These nutrients laid the groundwork for these recipes, which also emphasize nutrient-dense, whole food ingredients full of color and flavor. All are free of gluten, dairy, refined sugars, and other highly processed ingredients, and are targeted to the home cook and easy to prepare - many can be made in 30 minutes or less. These recipes contain sensible adaptations, whenever possible, to fit dietary practices commonly used to address thyroid imbalances and autoimmunity, such as Paleo and Autoimmune Protocol (AIP). Discover oot causes of Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism. Key nutrients and their food sources (in addition to the foods already highlighted in the recipes) known to boost thyroid function. The connection between digestive health and thyroid imbalances. Nutrition and lifestyle strategies for taming autoimmunity. A discussion on goitrogenic foods, soy, and the dangers of low carb for those with low thyroid function. How to determine if certain foods may be triggering inflammation and autoimmunity. How to optimize your thyroid and immune system by preparing nourishing, unfussy, nutrient-dense meals that satisfy and delight your taste buds while restoring your health. This cookbook will support you for a lifetime of peak thyroid function no matter where you currently are on your wellness journey"--Provided by publisher.
