Selenium (Brazil nuts, tuna, eggs) and zinc (pumpkin seeds, beef, chickpeas) are essential for thyroid hormone conversion and immune function.
Iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production. Our plans include moderate iodine from fish, dairy and eggs — avoiding excess that can worsen autoimmune thyroiditis.
Broccoli, kale and cabbage contain goitrogens that can impair thyroid function when raw. Our plans always include these cooked, which neutralises the effect.
Hypothyroidism reduces metabolic rate. Meals are designed to be nutrient-dense with adequate calories to support energy without causing weight gain.
Large amounts of soy can interfere with levothyroxine absorption. Our plans include moderate soy, and we recommend taking thyroid medication at least 4 hours away from soy-containing meals.
Yes. We recommend taking levothyroxine on an empty stomach 30–60 minutes before breakfast, as several foods (calcium-rich, high-fibre) can reduce absorption.
Diet supports thyroid function but does not replace medication for clinical hypothyroidism. Think of it as optimising the environment in which your medication works.
