This group is for those who believe Nutrition is the first line of defense against illness with our focus being on Endocrine - Thyroid health.
The Nutritional common ground we share is based on the findings and research of the Weston A. Price Foundation as outlined in Sally Fallons book Nourishing Traditions which believes in Whole Organic Foods; both animal's and plant's, consumption of saturated fats like real butter and Coconut Oil, Soaking and Fermenting grains before use, and saying NO to Processed Foods, Soy, Hydrogentated Oils..... in our daily diets.
I wanted to start this group so that others who are following the Nourishing Tradition approach of eating using Whole Traditional Foods can share ideas, information, and research with one another in regards to rebuilding our Endocrine health through the means of proper nutrition first instead of relying on medication alone.
I had not found any forums dedicated to healing Thyroid disorders with proper Nutrtion 1st according to WAPF and NT when i first looked into my own Thyroid issues. I believe the WAPF/NT research on Nutrition to be crucial key to our over all health. I am definately a novice in both of these areas and need the knowledge of other experienced WAPF/NTers who have similar health issues. Together we can explore what helps and what doesn't with like minded people in regards to over all Natural Health and treating disease with Nutrition as the 1st step.
I hope other WAPFers and NTers will join me and share what is working and all they have learned in regards to how food, nutrition, minerals, herbs, and vitamins can positively affect and rebuild Endocrine health. Hopefully we can all compile a wonderful database of information on exactly how WAPF and NT Nutrition can be directly applied to Endocrine issues like Hypothyroid, Hashimotos, Adrenal Insufficiency/Fatigue, Estrogen/Progesterone Dominations and the like.
