⚠️ Cautions
- Do not use this to replace prescribed thyroid medicine or monitoring — an overactive thyroid needs a doctor's care.
- These same vegetables can slow down an already underactive thyroid, so do not use this approach for hypothyroidism.
- People with existing goiter or thyroid nodules should check with their doctor before making big dietary changes.
- Cook cabbage-family vegetables lightly if they cause gas or bloating.
