How could diet affect hypothyroidism?

Dietary iodine intake that is too low or too high can result in hypothyroidism, so it’s important to consume the recommended daily allowance of iodine (150 µg for non-pregnant adults).^[1] Because hypothyroidism precipitates metabolic imbalances, eating a healthy, nutrient-dense diet that promotes a healthy weight is recommended to better manage the condition. Also, there is some speculation that following an anti-inflammatory diet might help reduce autoimmune damage to the thyroid in people with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.^[2]
