Alkaline Recipe #225: The Hypothyroidism ReBalance Juice
Hypothyroidism is impacting tens of millions of people around the world right now and is frequently undiagnosed.
If you’re feeling:
- Fatigued
- Have sudden weight gain
- An inability to lose weight no matter what you do
- Dry, cracked skin
- Brittle, weak hair
- Digestive discomfort
- Mental lethargy
The chances are, your thyroid is implicated…
And this juice will do WONDERS for you.
It’s also, of course, hugely alkaline, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant-rich (fitting my Triple-A model), so it will also work to soothe and rebalance your body in a variety of ways, not just your thyroid.
And frankly, it’s delicious. It’s fresh, clean and vibrant-tasting. You’ll love it.
It’s simple, uses affordable ingredients, and easy to source ingredients you can get at any shop.
The combination of nutrients packs a huge punch. So let’s get into it!
[Note: Remember, juicing every day is literally the BEST thing you can possibly do for your health BUT I know it can be a drag…. so, feel free to use this recipe to make two serves, and then save the second serve for tomorrow! That way you’re only prepping, juicing, and washing 3 times a week (well, 3.5)…just be sure to store in an airtight container in the fridge.]
The Hypothyroidism ReBalance Juice

Instructions
Nothing really, just juice and enjoy!

Hi Ross, Thank you for posting,
Is there a way to do a vitamix recipe,
I have been using your book I bought a couple of years ago, and lost 30lbs, I appreciate all your knowledge.
WHAT IS 100g arugula/rocket leaves, AND WHERE TO GET THIS INGREDIENT I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF.IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO ALL TO TELL US WHERE TO FIND.
THANKS
Hey Marion – I have never been to a grocery store in the UK, Europe, USA or Australia that did NOT stock rocket/arugula?
OK, THANKS.Ross.
Cilantro is so horrible tasting to me. Is there an alternative?
When I try to press Register for free training nothing happens.
I would like to register for the Thyroid Repair Plan. How do I proceed?
I have thyroid cancer,,,is it too late to start healing.
The doctors want to remove my thyroid
Why can’t I print this about celery juice when I click on the printer friendly version?
Ross hi there
I am having a problem with attempting to juice lettuce, spinach, khale? Its all the leaves that don’t seem to juice
What can a do to stop them just passing through the juice with no juice?
Invest in a new juicer by the sounds of it – I highly recommend the Hurom brand
I’ve been trying to lose weight for now over five years. I am 55 years old seem to be 56 I have Hashimoto’s and hyperthyroidism I would love to make juices at home could you give me some ideas to jumpstart and help me lose weight I’d really appreciate it
I can’t seem to loose belly fat and I eat pretty heathy. I have been diagnosed with mild or low levels of hypothyroidism. I found supplements that helped as opposed to prescription meds. Since covid and not working much I have not been able to get my supplements. I juice a lot and one of the ingredients I use is seaweed sheets. Also tumeric and ginger root
Thank you. Trying to loose weight hard staying away from junk (chips, icecream cookies and fried food). I do smoothies in the morning, maybe 2 to 3 times a week.
Any veggies to crave these bad habits
Thanks so much Ross ????
Your recipes are amazing and the wealth of information on your Facebook page is invaluable.
I suffer from CRPS, Osteoporosis, Rhumatiod Arthritis and Silent reflux so I’ve much to gain by following the Alkaline Diet for life and you’ve given me all the tools to be able to do so confidently.
Keeping everything crossed that I’ll eventually be well enough to drop all the nasty pharma drugs.
You are a star ????
I was told cruciferous veggies like arugula and leafy greens aren’t good for people with hypothyroidism
Thanks so much Ross ????

Hi Ross,
I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Not wanting to take the prescribed drugs I decided to change my diet. I cut out gluten, reduced my sugar intake, and cut out nightshades. On my last visit to the docs she told me I no longer have markers for RA (one win!).
I’ve decided to get on board with the alkaline diet. My question is: what is your opinion on nightshades (in relation to RA) mainly tomatoes, eggplant and zucchini? I would love to reintroduce these foods to my diet but fearful they will cause a flare up. Any thoughts?
Kind regards,
Kerry
Hey Kerry
I’m about to write a big guide on this because it’s a common question. The quick answer is: I would include them. The alkaloids that are theoretically going to trigger your immune response are practically non existent in almost all of these ‘nightshade’ vegetables (including those you’ve mentioned). What I would avoid are very old white potatoes that have started to go purple around any sprouts that may have appeared. Aside from that I would proceed with having these foods.

How much is 100 g of Arugula leaves is it a handful ? I am trying the juice today . Is it bitter Ross ?
Big handful yep – and it’s a little bitter. If you don’t like the bitterness, halve the arugula 🙂
WE tried it didn’t notice the bitter taste at all it is really good maybe because we added an extra celery stalk ? LOL LOL
Hi Ross, we bought your ARC book on Amazon and I really feel good after any one if your recipes tried 🙂
Quick question though, how long will I have to take the hypothyroid juice for? It tastes delicious, btw!
Thank you and keep up the great work!
I’m from London, UK and I discovered your book around 3 weeks ago and before even using it, I shared the link to my friends to buy it too.
After doing the Reset Cleanse, NOT perfectly, I notice a huge difference to My Scleroderma and Hypothyroidism. Reduce inflammation in my hands and feet, reduce hardness of my skin in areas such as my stomach and torso. And the horrible hot flushes has gone. As a person who struggled due to the portion sizes ( too large) and missing some smoothie or soups, it still had a noticeable effect on me. So folks try it. It will help immensely. I’m amazed how quickly the body responds and how quickly you can see the results. I also noticed that I still had craving for other foods. But I know this is due to my medication but I pushed through and now I looking for recipes to look forward too and plan to always have a juice or smoothie in my daily diet, which is usually plant based. I was unable to do any exercises, due to my stiffness and pain plus I have Pulmonary Fibrosis, but I still managed to lose about 5lbs. So I’m over the moon about that.
So I wanted to say this will work for anyone, and thank you Ross Bridgeford for sharing and caring. One question do you have any tips, to move forward?
Hey Maxine – this is AWESOME!
Did you join my Facebook group yet – would love to see you in there 🙂
Plus did you register for the Alkaline Reset Workshop that’s happening right now? I’ve released 2 lessons so far that you can access now, and Lesson 3 is all about AFTER the Cleanse and moving forward 🙂

Is there a substitute for cilantro for the thyroid rebalance?
Hi Lynne
You can simply leave it out 🙂
Hi Ross. I love your book “The alkaline reset cleanse”. I am cooking your recipes – preparing for 14 days ARC. I am feeling much much better. Whole my life candida and parasite destroying my body and my thoughts. Your work, help is amazing. I am searching for your article about drinking water. Can you provide information? Thank you and keep going. Turning to our nature earth.
Rather than juicing these ingredients… is it ok to make a smoothie out of them instead? Are there any negatives to liquidised veggies? I’ve been liquidising for years & so create no waste (as juicing does) …. is it a problem that I drink smoothie rather than juice? Thanks all!! ????
Hey Sarah – it’s better than not doing it at all but there’s definite benefits to mixing it up and having juices as well as smoothies.
For a smoothie – this recipe might work better 🙂

Hi Ross!
I have a couple of questions
how you know the mixture of greens in order to be good for any specific treatment as this one for hipothirodism?
What is the nutricionl yest? you don’t use it
and I order a book that I have not received, I send my ecuadorian address, i am thinking maybe for that?
Hi Ross,
I just found your site. I like all the information – like, where have you been all my life!
In regards to this recipe on hypothyroidism – my mom doesn’t like cilantro and is repelled (to the point of being sick) by cucumber.
So my question is – are there alternatives to those for this recipe? Is substitution allowed?
Mom (84-years-old) seems to think any recipe can be altered. I think the ingredients serve a purpose.
Can you give some direction?
Thank you! I am sharing about it Monday!
How many times can you drink this drink per day?
When you say Coriander, do you mean Cilantro?
Yes – absolutely – I usually remember to put in the US/UK/AU translation 🙂
What if you dislike cilantro? Is there any alternate?
Good Morning Ross,
I wanted to know if there’s a special combination of vegetables that we should put together?
I have Cancer, I am always tired, full of pain and it’s been 3 months now that Ive done my version of greens in the mornings but I feel it’s not working.
Would you assist me it be greatly appreciated.
THANK YOU & MANY BLESSINGS
Nelson … Get in touch with me on Facebook. Tannis- Lee Henriksen.
Hey Tannis
Would love to hear what you’re doing re: cancer here too.
Ross
What if I’m allergic to celery? I feel my thyroid may be out of sync. I’ve gained 29 lbs in 2 years and having a difficult time trying to lose weight. Dr is keeping track of thyroid levels and says they are in normal range. Dry skin, rashes, no energy. Just frustrated. Would like to try juicing but celery turns me off. Any alternatives? Thanks! Cindy
Hi Ross –
Recently found you & immediately subscribed, love all your info!
Can I just Vitamix this recipe or does it have to be juiced?
Thanks –
Alison
