Let's Talk Thyroid-healthy Eating with Annabel Bateman

In this week's episode of Thyroid-healthy Bites, we're going to switch things up a bit. I'll be in the hot seat this time, being interviewed by the amazing Annabel Bateman of the Let's Talk Thyroid Podcast. She had me on her show to talk all about food, glorious thyroid-healthy food! 

Annabel is a health coach, cookbook author, Hashimoto's patient, mom of three teenagers, and a fellow Thyroid Thriver from Australia. She reached out to me via Instagram because we both LOVE thyroid-healthy eating and recipes.  

Like me, Annabel has used diet and lifestyle to manage her thyroid symptoms with life-changing success. In fact, she recently found out that her thyroid antibodies are so low she's essentially in remission!

We had so much to talk about and I had a great time on her show. This episode is a little longer than my normal episode length, but there's a ton of great information, inspiration, and practical tips we both shared as we compared notes and personal stories.

I know how overwhelming it can feel to start thinking about making dietary changes, so I've put together a list of over 130 delicious foods to choose from.

There are so many lists out there of foods we're not supposed to eat as thyroid patients. It's such a bummer! That's why I wanted to put together this list of foods we CAN eat!

Once you download this list, use it to get your wheels turning, and help you envision a life of delicious, thyroid-healthy meals. 

In this handy resource, you'll find protein sources, produce, healthy fats, GF grains, seasonings & condiments, and even sweet treats from all colors of the rainbow 🌈. They also happen to be gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and refined sugar-free. 

We all have our unique dietary needs and sensitivities, so adjust this list in the way that works for you. I hope it helps inspire delicious meals that support your healing journey.

P.S. If you're anything like me, when I started down the path of thyroid-healthy eating I had questions-- lots of them. What I didn't have was a step-by-step system, to get me where I wanted to go. I wasted a lot of time piecing together bits of information about what to eat, what to avoid, and HOW to make thyroid-healthy dietary changes. That’s why I created the Thyroid-healthy Meal Plan Kickstart. Ready to take YOUR healing journey farther, FASTER? Let’s do it. Learn more HERE.
