I was recently diagnosed with an underactive thyroid and the doctor said diet is important. What kind of diet is good for someone with an underactive thyroid? Any specific foods to focus on?

I know how incredibly frustrating it is to deal with the fatigue and unexplained weight gain of hypothyroidism. I used to cry looking at the scale, but focusing on selenium-rich foods like walnuts and eating cooked, rather than raw, cruciferous veggies helped me feel more in control.

With thyroid and high blood pressure, lifestyle management is everything. I make sure to eat iodized salt in moderation, take my thyroid pill first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, and get my blood tested every three months without fail.

Listen, there is no magic diet that cures thyroid. Just take your thyroid medication daily as prescribed, eat simple home-cooked meals, and cut down on bakery items and deep-fried food.

I can only share what worked for me under my doctor's care. I stopped eating raw soy products and raw cabbage/cauliflower, as my doctor said they can interfere with thyroid hormone synthesis.

My thyroid gland decided to go on a lazy strike too! While we can't force it to work harder, eating plenty of fiber and avoiding raw cabbage keeps my digestion from joining the strike.
