January is Thyroid awareness month!

As someone who struggles with Hypothyroidism, here are a few tips I learned over the years to keep my TSH and T4 levels in control for almost 20 years.


Diet

  • Avoid eating goitrogens such as raw kale, cabbage, broccoli, etc

  • Switch to Iodized Sea Salt

  • Increase iodine intake through foods such as seaweed, cod, shrimp, eggs, and tuna

  • Increase probiotic consumption to improve digestion


Timing

  • It is very crucial to take your medication on an empty stomach

  • Wait 30-40min after taking your medication before eating

  • Do not take any vitamins or supplements within 4 hours before and after taking your medication

  • Check if any other medications you're currently taking might interact with your thyroid medication

  • Be consistent, if you forget to take your pill one day double your dose for the next morning


Exercise

  • Indulge in yoga and cardio exercises to reduce stress and increase your metabolism


If some medication can cause or worsen hypo/hyperthyroidism, check with your healthcare provider
