Supporting Thyroid Health Through Diet
While avoiding certain foods is important, adding nutrient-rich, thyroid-supportive foods can make a huge difference:
Iodine-rich foods: Seaweed, fish, and dairy support hormone production.
Selenium-rich foods: Brazil nuts, eggs, and sunflower seeds protect thyroid cells.
Zinc-rich foods: Pumpkin seeds, chickpeas, and oysters help hormone synthesis.
Anti-inflammatory foods: Berries, fatty fish, and leafy greens reduce inflammation.
The Takeaway
Your thyroid is sensitive to what you eat, and even “healthy” foods can sabotage your energy if consumed in the wrong form or amount. Avoiding these six foods — or adjusting how you prepare them — can help maintain optimal thyroid function, increase energy, and improve overall well-being. Small dietary changes can make a big difference in how you feel every day.
