I suffer from hypothyroidism, can I take fucus?

I was wondering, suffering from hypothyroidism and taking “tirosint” of 125 mg, if in this case it is possible to use some supplement based on fucus since, despite the TSH has returned (from 17 now it is 1.5 more or less), the my metabolism shows no signs of awakening and as a result I cannot lose weight. Thank you and good evening

Hello dear, the first thing to check with your doctor or your trusted pharmacist are the interactions that fucus might have with the drug you are taking. The fucus actually contains the most suitable functional substance to stimulate the thyroid when it works little, it is well understood that it is necessary to follow the prescribed dosages above all because the thyroid gland is a delicate gland and has very important and decisive functions for the organism, (especially in hormonal level) and, as you have noticed, its “abnormal” functioning creates considerable disruptions at a general and metabolic level and also has effects on mood. What I would like to recommend is physical activity especially before meals is able to give a boost to the body, but it must be done consistently and regularly: walking at a fast pace, alternating a combination of aerobic and anaerobic work can be very useful but should not underestimate the psychological aspect. People with hypothyroidism often automatically feel doomed to live “fat”, but that’s not the case! Hypothyroidism is certainly a condition that makes the path a little more difficult, but not impossible! Do not be discouraged therefore, a mind free from constructed thoughts is a conscious mind that can transform the conditions in which we are. See yourself and live as a beautiful, thin person and you will see that little by little, with small tricks, you will begin to have excellent results. In the meantime, knowing little about her, I can’t recommend anything other than eating protein in the evening and limiting carbohydrates at lunch. Lots of vegetables and fruit in a sensible quantity.This will allow you to deflate initially especially by cutting everything that is industrial. Furthermore, I have found that the Zone Diet is very valid for your type of problem, but you must rely on a professional who follows you in this. I hope I have been of any help to you. Good luck don’t be discouraged. Best regards Cinzia Zedda
