Revolutionary new thyroid detox
Target of these autoimmune attacks. That’s not all. Dr. Gundry says there’s evidence that lectins can block cells from burning blood sugar, keeping levels high and worsening inflammation. “And the less sugar burned, the more that’s stored as fat,” he adds
Once Kelly began avoiding sneaky thyroid toxins hidden in some “healthy” foods, she dropped 37 lbs and was even able to stop taking her thyroid medication. According to a top expert, her approach can also boost your thyroid—and help you get slim in a hurry!
Want to detox your thyroid and lose weight with surprising ease? All you have to do is follow Kelly Clarkson’s lead! Diagnosed with a thyroid condition back in 2006, the multi-platinum album Voice coach recently revealed that she healed herself and lost 37 pounds using guidelines in the bestseller The Plant Paradox. “I had a thyroid issue, and now all my levels are back up. I’m not on medicine anymore because of this book!” she marveled during a red-carpet interview. Kelly, 36, added that the approach—which eliminates lectins, irritants found in many plant foods— made slimming down easy. “Literally, I haven’t worked out at all!”
Plant Paradox author Steven Gundry, M.D., isn’t surprised. “My program is designed to do exactly what it did for Kelly—improve overall health and trigger effortless weight loss,” says the California cardiologist, one of the world’s leading experts on lectins. What exactly are lectins? “They’re natural toxins that deter animals from eating certain plants,” explains Dr. Gundry. “Humans tolerate them to varying degrees, but I’ve seen studies and overwhelming clinical evidence that suggest lectins can wreak havoc.” Thyroids take a particularly big hit because lectins— from staples such as wheat, bell peppers and peanuts—trigger inflammation that suppresses our “metabolism gland.” Worse, lectins can set off autoimmune attacks, the most common cause of thyroid disease. “My program absolutely optimizes thyroid health,” Dr. Gundry promises. “It also protects your thyroid from future problems while helping you get to an ideal weight right now.” His patients report losing up to 20 pounds in 14 days. How much will you lose? Here’s how to find out . . .
Quick start ● What you eat
At each sitting, fill your plate with lowlectin veggies— greens, broccoli, celery, onions, mushrooms and more. Then add some natural protein and plant-based fat. Carbs are on the menu, too— just stick to low-lectin options like sweet potatoes, grain-free bread and millet. You also get moderate amounts of fruit, nuts, goat cheese and red wine.
● How this diet heals your thyroid gland
The more inflammation inside our bodies, the higher our risk for thyroid trouble. “Lectins are irritants that drive inflammation,” Dr. Gundry notes. They’re so irritating, they can even rip holes in the digestive tract, allowing bacteria to escape; as the body tries to defend itself from a “leaky gut,” it can mistakenly begin attacking itself. The thyroid is often the prime
● Real-world wow!
When California cancer survivor Angela Kassan began experiencing autoimmune issues, she tried the same Plant Paradox strategies that had helped her mom, Shirley, get lean. Between them, Angela, 53, and Shirley, 72, have shed 66 pounds! “I lost weight without trying and avoided another serious health problem,” says Angela. “My mom and I both have a ton of energy and feel fantastic!” Meanwhile, Tracey Boschetti went to see Dr. Gundry about chronic stomachaches; he diagnosed her with leaky gut— a common precursor to thyroid disease. “I was fortunate I got help when I did,” says the California hairstylist. “Within three days, my stomachaches were gone.” Much to her surprise, she shed 28 pounds in a month and 48 pounds in all. “I’m 52, and I have a better body and more energy than I did when I was 30. You can’t beat that!”
