How it works

Iodine is essential for thyroid hormone synthesis. However excess iodine can trigger or worsen Hashimoto's through oxidative mechanisms.

Most Australians get adequate iodine from iodised salt and bread. High-dose iodine supplements can worsen Hashimoto's - avoid without medical guidance.

Dietary changes

Consider speaking to a GP, dietitian, or naturopath before making significant changes to your diet, particularly if you have an existing health condition.
