Change
Effect
1- Increase hypothalamic CRH
production
Increase stress reactivity and anxiety
2- Increase amygdala CRH production
Increase stress reactivity and fear
learning
3- Decrease cortisol receptors in
hippocampus and hypothalamus
Increase difficulty terminating stress
response
4- Decrease GABAA receptors in
hippocampus
Increase difficulty terminating the stress
response
5- Increase brain noradrenalin activity
Increase reactivity to stress and
irritability
6- Increase serotonin availability and
utilization
Difficulty gaining dominance over
personal life
All these effects cumulatively result in limiting the baby’s potential later in life. These
effects often result in a life marred by desperation, perpetual failure and loss of selfesteem.

SOY
CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLES
Broccoli, Cauliflower, Brussels, kholrabi…
All soy containing foods (including soy milk)
facilitate the disposition of thyroid hormone from
the body
All crucifers contain a chemical (isothiocyanate)
which is a toxin for the thyroid gland
GLUTEN CONTAINING GRAINS
RYE, BARLEY, WHEAT…
Gluten sensitive individuals of all ages show a
deterioration in thyroid function while consuming
grains; and an improvement on gluten-free diet
CORTAID CREAM & OTHER OVER THE
COUNTER STEROID CREAMS
Cortisol (hydrocortisone), a naturally occurring
steroid, in excess amounts may lower active
thyroid hormone in the body
Synthetic variants of cortisol show a more
accentuated effect compared to cortisol
an herb commonly used to help with sleep may
reduce thyroid function
Melatonin and other sleep aids also may lower
levels of active thyroid hormone
May lower levels of active thyroid hormone in
body
