Soy is one of the most debated foods in the thyroid world. For years, the common advice was simple: “Avoid soy if you have thyroid issues.” But more recently, experts have been revisiting that recommendation, asking: Is it really that cut and dry? In this mashup episode of Thyroid-Healthy Bites, I bring you three trusted thyroid voices with very different perspectives: Dr. Izabella Wentz shares why many Hashimoto’s patients do better limiting soy, at least in the beginning. Dr. Alan Christianson explains why his deep dive into the research didn’t support a blanket recommendation to avoid soy. Mary Shomon offers a practical middle ground, sharing best (and worst) choices around soy. Together, we explore: Do thyroid patients really need to avoid soy 100% of the time? If not, which forms of soy are best? How can we weigh soy’s potential benefits against its possible drawbacks? Plus, I’ll share my own approach as a thyroid health coach and chef. 🦋 Need more support? Join the Thrivers Club here 👉 www.hypothyroidchef.com/membership 🛒 FREE Thyroid-Friendly Grocery Guide: https://www.hypothyroidchef.com/grocery  💫 Subscribe & Review: If you've been enjoying The Thyroid-Healthy Bites Podcast, please subscribe, follow, or leave a review.
