Fasting 16:8

Hashimoto Gentle

Selenium food, enough calories, and iodine as a maybe — never a megadose.

Use in the lab
SeleniumZincVitamin D3Omega-3

The plate

  • 65%non-starchy vegetables
  • 25%protein
  • 10%added fat

Steps

  1. 01Two Brazil nuts, not a handful. Selenium is a trace.
  2. 02Do not megadose iodine. Hashimoto’s is not a kelp contest.
  3. 03Eat enough. Chronic OMAD can look like a thyroid problem.
  4. 04Retest TSH and antibodies with your clinician after the diet settles.
  5. 05Keep the plate. Skip the thyroid ‘hack’ bottles.

Eat

  • Eggs
  • Brazil nuts (two)
  • Sardines
  • Turkey
  • Spinach
  • Olive oil

Skip

  • Iodine megadoses
  • Raw crucifers as the entire diet
  • Chronic under-eating

Food-first notes

  • Selenium (food-led)

    Thyroid conversion. More is not better — selenium is a trace for a reason.

  • Vitamin D3 with K2

    Immune tone, mood, and bone. K2 helps steer calcium. Test, don’t guess.

  • Zinc (food-led)

    Skin, hair, immunity. Easy to miss on a cheese-and-bulletproof-coffee menu.

  • Marine omega-3

    Cools joints, supports brain and skin, balances the omega-6 load of modern food.
