8 foods I stopped eating to improve my thyroid symptoms

8 foods I stopped eating to improve my thyroid symptoms

June 13, 20232 min read

Clean, healthy eating is a huge part of a healthy-thyroid lifestyle. The relationship between what you eat and how your thyroid is functioning is really clear. 


Cutting out bad foods and adding in good ones can really make a difference - it can help ease many of your symptoms and overall help improve how you’re feeling


One of the challenges, though, is that there is not necessarily one right way to eat. What worked great for me, or a client of mine, might not be what you need.


I always recommend clients stay away from GMOs, gluten, soy, alcohol, sugar and trans fats. 


All of these ingredients or types of food can cause stress or inflammation in the gut, which can impact the thyroid.


For myself, I also have sensitivities to dairy and corn. So I cut those out of my diet and found it really helped improve my symptoms. However, you might be okay with dairy and corn or other gluten-free grains, so don’t think I’m telling you that you 100% have to avoid that plate of nachos!


I know this can feel like a lot! A thyroid-friendly diet can feel really scary at first. 


But don’t feel like you have to cut all of these things out at once! Take it as slow as you need to so it can work with your lifestyle and be a long-term habit (not a crash diet).


Now, the best way to find out what foods you should remove from your diet to improve your symptoms is to work closely with a health professional. But, I also wanted to share a few resources I’ve created to help get you thinking about your diet and food choices.

Hi, I am Angela Brown. I wasn’t always as health-conscious as I am today. I’ve always had an interest in sports and working out, but living a healthy lifestyle was a battle for me. I didn’t eat the best and burned the candle at both ends. I became interested in the healthcare field in high school when I took my first anatomy class. It was then that I knew I wanted to pursue a career related to the body and how it functioned. After I graduated high school, I earned a degree in Physical Therapy. I worked in outpatient orthopedic and sports clinics for 8 years but at that point, I knew I wanted something more. I became certified in personal training and then went on to get certified in health coaching. My passion for nutrition and lifestyle change began to grow even more when I was struggling with my own health issues. I became certified in Functional Diagnostic Nutrition to get more answers for myself and to help my clients even gain control of their health. I have set out on a mission to help with women overcome hypothyroidism so they can lose weight and get their sexy back.
