The formation and diagnosis of excessive thyroid hormones
Hyperthyroidism refers to the thyroid gland secreting too much thyroid hormone. It typically presents with low levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and high levels of either T3 or T4 . TSH is secreted by the pituitary gland and is responsible for instructing the thyroid gland to produce T4 . If TSH levels decrease, the thyroid gland lacks the "stop" signal, causing it to continuously secrete more hormone, resulting in overactivity. The problem usually involves an imbalance in receptors and overall feedback mechanisms.

- Difficulty falling asleep
- Heart racing
- Not heat resistant
- diarrhea
- Weight loss, not weight gain.
- Protruding eyeballs
- Hand tremor
- Increased panic and anxiety
Common types of hyperthyroidism and precautions
Hyperthyroidism can be caused by various factors, including:
- Autoimmune diseases (such as Graves' disease)
- Thyroiditis
- nodules or cysts
- Excessive iodine intake
- Excessive use of synthetic thyroid hormones (such as Synthroid )
For those with hyperthyroidism:
- Iodine supplementation is not suitable
- Bile salts should not be supplemented , as they can increase the conversion of T4 to T3 and worsen symptoms.
Cruciferous vegetables are more suitable because they help to inhibit the effects of iodine.
Three factors that may stimulate hyperthyroidism
The following three aspects deserve attention and study:
-
Lectins
Lectins are found in plants and are used by plants to defend themselves from being eaten. If the human body is sensitive to them, it can cause inflammation. Gluten is one type of lectin. Lectins have structures similar to certain tissues, which may confuse the immune system, causing it to attack its own tissues and leading to thyroid problems. -
Avoid foods high in lectins and gluten.
Lectins may damage the intestinal barrier, increase inflammation, disrupt the immune system, and increase the risk of autoimmune thyroid disease. -
Intermittent fasting and reducing physical stress
Fasting helps reduce inflammation and naturally decreases lectin intake due to the absence of food. Maintaining adrenal health is also important, as stress weakens the immune system, making the body more susceptible to autoimmune problems.

Conclusion:
Adjusting diet, controlling iodine intake, and monitoring stress and immune responses are important aspects of managing hyperthyroidism. Avoiding irritants while supporting the body to return to a balanced state helps improve overall health.
