Thyroid Disorders (Hypothyroidism & Hyperthyroidism)
Thyroid Disorders (Hypothyroidism & Hyperthyroidism) Management
The thyroid gland plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, energy levels, and overall hormonal balance. Thyroid disorders, including hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, can significantly impact weight, mood, digestion, and overall health. At Sai Dental and Wellness Centre, Dr. Shilpi Gupta (M.Sc. in Food and Dietetics) provides personalized diet plans to help individuals manage thyroid imbalances through nutrient-focused, science-backed nutrition.
Understanding Thyroid Disorders
🔹 Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid) – A condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones, leading to weight gain, fatigue, slow metabolism, dry skin, and hair loss.
🔹 Hyperthyroidism (Overactive Thyroid) – A condition where the thyroid gland produces excessive hormones, causing rapid weight loss, increased heart rate, anxiety, and excessive sweating.
How Nutrition Supports Thyroid Health
Diet plays a vital role in balancing thyroid function, improving symptoms, and supporting hormone production. Dr. Shilpi’s personalized diet plans are designed to:
✔ Boost Metabolism – Food choices that support energy production and hormonal regulation.
✔ Regulate Weight – Nutrition plans tailored for healthy weight gain (hyperthyroidism) or weight loss (hypothyroidism).
✔ Support Hormonal Balance – Foods that aid in optimal thyroid hormone production and absorption.
✔ Manage Inflammation – Anti-inflammatory diets to reduce thyroid-related swelling and discomfort.
✔ Enhance Gut Health – A well-balanced diet to improve digestion and nutrient absorption for better thyroid function.
