Never Eat These Foods with Hyperthyroidism
Save My Thyroid: Healing Tips for Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's
High-Iodine Foods to Watch
Dr. Eric discusses iodine sources like kelp and shellfish and their potential to worsen hyperthyroidism.
If you’re newly diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, start here.
This episode lays out a foundational overview of foods that are best avoided when healing from hyperthyroidism or Graves’ disease. I cover the “big ones” like gluten, dairy, refined sugar, alcohol, and grains, as well as the less obvious culprits. I also explain the reasoning behind these recommendations, including gut permeability, immune reactivity, and long-term thyroid stability. You’ll leave with a clearer sense of which foods might be interfering with healing, even if they don’t cause obvious symptoms.
If you’re overwhelmed with conflicting diet advice and want a grounded place to start, this episode is for you.
