What we also want to do is reverse our insulin resistance. There is data suggesting that when your body has a more difficult time dealing with blood sugar, that is when you are more apt to grow nodules on your thyroid4.
When we are better able to deal with how our bodies deal with insulin, it can go a long way in managing our risk for developing nodules.
Produce in Your Diet
We have seen that large amounts of produce in the diet can cut the risk of nodules. While suppressing the growth of nodules, and ultimately helping reverse them altogether.
We obviously know the benefit of getting more produce into your diet. This is just one more reason to add a little bit more fresh fruit into your life!
Here’s a wild thing, though, that this data also applies for cruciferous vegetables. Many have talked about cruciferous vessels as goitrogens.
While that is a bit of a separate topic, it has been shown that cruciferous vegetables have the ability to reduce nodules. (Read: A comprehensive guide to Goitrogens and Hashimotos)
