It’s Q&A time! You can ask your own question here for a chance to have it answered in an upcoming edition.
This week’s answer is for paid subscribers, but everyone can read the question.
I have high levels of thyroid antibodies, and nearly every publication on thyroid health, hypothyroidism, and Hashimoto’s recommends a highly restrictive diet. I’m over a year into recovery from disordered eating, thanks in large part to your book, and I feel better than I’ve ever felt now that I’m no longer restricting food. I tolerate lactose and feel like ending carb restriction was the best decision I ever made for my energy levels. I do NOT want to go back to restricting or intentional weight loss.
I recall you sharing on a podcast episode that you have Hashimoto’s. Can you do a deep dive into what the science really says about restricting gluten, dairy, nightshades, coffee, and other supposedly “inflammatory” foods for thyroid health? I’m finding it so hard to navigate and learn about my condition without these strong diet messages, and I’d love your critical take.
