August is Thyroid and Pregnancy Awareness Month 💙

As we mark Thyroid and Pregnancy Awareness Month, we recognise the importance of continuing to advance understanding of thyroid hormones and thyroid disease during pregnancy.

Supporting this area is a key aim of the European Thyroid Journal Special Collection: Thyroid Disease and Pregnancy, which is currently open for submissions.

The collection will explore the current state of the art in the management of maternal hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism in pregnancy, with a clinical focus on diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes.

⭐️ The polycystic o***y syndrome has a new name: polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, or PMOS. Our EASD e-Learning Journal Read reports on a recent Lancet paper that describes the global consensus process behind the change, involving patients, health professionals, and organisations across world regions.

💬 “Correcting the name to polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) is not a rebranding exercise; it is a scientific correction expected to realign research, funding, clinical responsibility, and ultimately, patient outcomes,” says Elisabet Stener-Victorin from Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm.

☝🏽 The new name removes the misleading reference to ovarian cysts and highlights the endocrine, metabolic and ovarian features of the condition.

The traditional Mediterranean diet and the thyroid

📌 The traditional Mediterranean diet is characterized by a large consumption of fruit, vegetables, legumes, nuts, fish, complex carbohydrates, and extra virgin olive oil.

📌 The Mediterranean diet may be beneficial for autoimmune thyroid disorders (Hashimoto's disease and Graves' disease) as it shifts focus away from highly processed, pro-inflammatory foods toward nutrient-dense, plant-rich foods, protecting the thyroid gland from oxidative stress.

📌 The high intake of polyphenols and antioxidants from fruits and vegetables protects the thyroid from free radical damage, which can otherwise worsen autoimmune attacks.

📌 This diet provides critical minerals and vitamins needed for proper thyroid function, including selenium (from fish, nuts, and seeds) to protect the thyroid, zinc for hormone synthesis, and vitamin D for immune regulation.

⚠️ Even the foods that characterize this diet may be polluted by chemical substances, known as endocrine disruptors (EDs), which show a strong interference with thyroid gland function at various levels, impairing hormone synthesis.

📌 Particular attention must be paid to the choice of foods and their origin from sustainable farming methods that minimize the use of pesticides and other substances that can play the role of endocrine disruptors.

Endocrine disruptors in food—such as BPA, phthalates, and pesticides—mimic or block natural hormones, leading to metabolic issues, reproductive disorders, and developmental changes.

📌 Key impact on the hormonal system:

Receptor interference: chemicals interact with the thyroid, estrogen, androgen, progesterone, and retinoid receptors.

Mimicking and blocking: EDCs can mimic body hormones, causing overstimulation, or block receptors, causing diminished responses.

Metabolic disruption: some chemicals promote fat deposition and contribute to weight gain.

Developmental and reproductive issues: exposure is linked to infertility, early puberty, and thyroid diseases.

📌 Common food sources of endocrine disruptors

Plastic packaging and cans: BPA (Bisphenol A) in canned food liners and plastic containers disrupts estrogen pathways.

Additives and preservatives can cause inflammation and stress.

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a large group of over 14,000 synthetic "forever chemicals" used since the 1940s to make products resistant to water, grease, and stains.

Pesticides and contaminants: residues on conventional produce and environmental pollutants (like dioxins) in animal products.

📌 Reducing exposure

Avoid canned foods: choose glass, stainless steel, or porcelain containers.

Avoid plastic for heat: do not microwave food in plastic containers, as heat releases more chemical additives.

📌 Check labels: avoid products with parabens or other artificial additives.
