In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Warren dives deep into the intricate relationship between food and thyroid hormone health—especially for those healing after thyroidectomy. After walking through her own journey of overcoming thyroid cancer, she has learned firsthand how crucial it is to understand the role food plays as fuel, not medicine. Her goal in this episode is to clear up common dietary misconceptions and help listeners feel confident about nourishing their bodies well.

She breaks down the controversial topic of gluten, its connection to autoimmune thyroid disorders, and how it can contribute to leaky gut. She also shares the important differences between A1 and A2 dairy, how each affects inflammation and gut function, and why some forms of dairy may be much better tolerated than others. She even dives into the truth about soy and cruciferous vegetables—two foods people often fear unnecessarily—and explains how they can support hormone balance when incorporated mindfully.

Above all, she emphasizes the importance of listening to your body, honoring your unique needs, and avoiding overly restrictive eating patterns that can actually hinder healing. If you're ready to make informed food choices without the overwhelm, this episode is for you.
