Thank you for the question… I discussed this with my endo. at my last visit and the big thing with consuming foods that contain goitrogens is to try to limit the intake of them…It’s fine to…actually you need to eat natural vegetables like your broccoli and spinach they have so many other important nutrients that your body needs; but at the same time I was told… no soy is not very good for people who have hypothyroidism… You should refrain from eating soy products.

Now with those vegetables the trick there is to eat those later on in the day long after your body has had the time to absorb your thyroid hormone replacement medicine.

Hope this answers your question.
Thank you
Cindy

Sabeen, we’ll try to compile a list of high sodium foods and post them but in the meantime I would suggest that you start by looking at all your packaged foods and snacks and see what the sodium content is. Also, if you cook with a lot of salt try to cut back. Now, you have to strike a balance because if you are using sea salt in your diet because of its higher iodine content then you may not want to eliminate it completely.

We are aware of the possible connection of between infertility and hypothyroidism but we still need to research any possible tips and resources. As soon as we have something ready we’ll post it and let you know.
