What to Eat, When to Eat, and Why for Autoimmune Disease

Autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis occur when your immune system goes haywire and attacks your healthy tissues (in this case, your thyroid). What you eat can have a huge impact on Hashimoto’s and other autoimmune conditions and boost your metabolism. In this episode, you’ll learn about the “healthy” foods that can contribute to autoimmune thyroid disorders, the connection between blood sugar imbalances and Hashimoto’s, and the trifecta to eat at every meal to support your thyroid. Plus, JJ discusses the misunderstanding about cruciferous vegetables and thyroid problems, the controversial nutrient for thyroid health, the most important thing to do for thyroid function, how intermittent fasting affects your thyroid (and why you want to be cautious about doing it), and the link between thyroid function and toxins, gut issues, and nutrient deficiencies. Whether you have an autoimmune condition like Hashimoto’s or want to keep your thyroid and immune system healthy, this episode provides simple action steps to support your health… one forkful at a time.
