Though I am trained in traditional Western medicine, I strongly believe in the power of foods and recommend dietary changes as much as possible when treating a whole spectrum of diseases. Since thyroid dysfunction is relatively common, I am providing a list of foods which can be beneficial with an underactive thryroid gland, as well as foods to avoid.

Try to incorporate the following foods into your regular meal regimen to boost thyroid function naturally:

Eggs
Turkey
Beef
Saltwater fish such as tuna or halibut
Shellfish
Seaweed
Coconut oil
Sunflower seeds
Walnuts
Pecans
Mushrooms

There area some foods which you should limit or even eliminate from your diet due to their tendency to interfere with thyroid function. They are:

Soy
Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale
Spinach
Peanuts
Almonds
