Whole Foods - are foods that are nutrient dense.  Incorporating fruits, vegetables, good quality protein and healthy fats; foods like leafy greens, berries, nuts, seeds, and quality protein including wild fish rich in Omega 3’s are all beneficial for thyroid health.

Support Gut Health - a healthy gut is very important for hormone balance.  Eliminating processed foods and introducing natural, alive and good quality foods that reduce gut inflammation, dysbiosis and leaky gut can support thyroid health. 

Manage Stress - chronic stress can exacerbate thyroid health. Incorporating stress-reducing practices such as walking in nature, yoga or journaling. Regular physical activity is also soothing for the hormones.
