  1. Amit Kakkar Healthyway Thyroid Protocol Hypothyroid & Hashimoto’s Basics • Practical nutrition & lifestyle playbook

  2. Thyroid 101 — What It Does • The thyroid controls metabolism, energy, temperature, hair/skin, and mood • Key hormones • • TSH (signal from pituitary) • • T4 (storage), T3 (active) • • Reverse T3 (stress marker) • Autoimmunity (Hashimoto’s) • • Immune system attacks thyroid tissue • • Often drives gradual hypothyroid symptoms © Amit Kakkar Healthyway — Thyroid Protocol

  3. Common Symptoms Checklist Fatigue, low mood/brain fog, weight gain or difficulty losing weight Dry skin/hair fall, feeling cold, constipation, irregular or heavy periods Muscle aches, joint stiffness, slowed heart rate Neck fullness (goitre), voice changes (less common) © Amit Kakkar Healthyway — Thyroid Protocol

  4. Root Causes & Drivers (Big Picture) • Nutrient gaps • • Iodine, selenium, zinc, iron/ferritin, vitamin D, B12 • Stress axis • • High cortisol → reduced T4→T3 conversion • • Sleep debt worsens hormones & appetite • Gut & immune • • Dysbiosis, low stomach acid, gluten sensitivity in some cases • • Infections, chronic inflammation • Environment • • Endocrine disruptors (plastics/fragrances), smoking/vaping © Amit Kakkar Healthyway — Thyroid Protocol

  5. Smart Labs — What to Ask For TSH, Free T4, Free T3 Anti-TPO ± Anti-thyroglobulin (Hashimoto’s antibodies) Vitamin D, B12, Ferritin, Zinc; HbA1c/fasting insulin if metabolic issues Discuss ranges & treatment with your clinician; this deck is educational © Amit Kakkar Healthyway — Thyroid Protocol

  6. Food Protocol — Foundations • Daily plate • • High-quality protein (dal, paneer, eggs/fish/chicken) • • Colourful veg & fruit for antioxidants • • Smart carbs: millets/rice/quinoa as per activity • Fats • • Ghee, coconut, olive/mustard oils; prioritize omega‑3 sources • Goitrogens: sensible approach • • Cook crucifers (steam/saute) to reduce goitrogens • • Balance, don’t eliminate—crucifers have benefits • Limit ultra‑processed foods, deep‑fried snacks, and excess sugar © Amit Kakkar Healthyway — Thyroid Protocol

  7. Hashimoto’s — Special Notes Antibodies may fluctuate; aim to calm inflammation, not just chase numbers Trial a gluten‑light approach if symptomatic; ensure adequate fiber & B‑vitamins Support gut: ferments (curd if tolerated), prebiotics (onion/garlic), and diversity Work with your doctor on meds even when lifestyle improves © Amit Kakkar Healthyway — Thyroid Protocol

  8. Supplements (Evidence‑Aligned, Individualize) • Often considered • • Selenium ~200 mcg/day (short course; medical guidance) • • Vitamin D optimization • • Myo‑inositol (with selenium in subclinical cases) • • Omega‑3 (ALA from flax/chia; EPA/DHA if non‑veg) • • Iron if ferritin is low (only after labs) • Space iron/calcium away from thyroid meds by 4+ hours © Amit Kakkar Healthyway — Thyroid Protocol

  9. Medication & Timing Basics (with Doctor) Levothyroxine usually taken on empty stomach with water; wait ~30–60 min before breakfast Avoid coffee/tea, iron, calcium, and high‑fiber meals around the dose Consistency matters: same time daily; recheck labs 6–8 weeks after dose changes © Amit Kakkar Healthyway — Thyroid Protocol

  10. Lifestyle Protocol — Daily & Weekly • Sleep & stress • • Aim 7–8h, same wake time; wind‑down routine • • Breathwork/meditation 5–10 min/day • Movement • • Strength training 2–3x/week; walking on most days • • Pace intensity to energy; progress gradually • Light hygiene • • Morning outdoor light 5–10 min; reduce blue light at night © Amit Kakkar Healthyway — Thyroid Protocol

  11. 4‑Week Starter Plan (Template) • Week 1 • • Morning med timing + protein breakfast • • 10‑minute walk post meals • Week 2 • • Add 2 strength sessions; steam/saute crucifers • • Track sleep & energy • Week 3 • • Breathwork nightly + reduce plastics/fragrances • • Evaluate ferritin/B12/D if pending • Week 4 • • Refine carbs to activity; add omega‑3 sources • • Book follow‑up labs/consult © Amit Kakkar Healthyway — Thyroid Protocol

  12. Red Flags — Seek Medical Care Severe fatigue, chest pain, depression/suicidal thoughts Rapid neck swelling, difficulty breathing, or swallowing Post‑partum symptoms or palpitations with weight changes Any medication side effects — call your doctor © Amit Kakkar Healthyway — Thyroid Protocol

  13. Follow‑Up & Tracking Recheck TSH/FT4/FT3 after 6–8 weeks of med/lifestyle changes Track: energy, sleep, bowels, hair/skin, menstrual changes, weight/waist Adjust plan gradually; aim for sustainable habits © Amit Kakkar Healthyway — Thyroid Protocol
