i've been listening to and reading Chris Kresser's articles:
http://chriskresser.com/basics-of-immune...hashimotos
while he outlines how to tweak your diet, he acknowledges that in many cases, supplementing with thyroid hormones is necessary.
i take vitamin D supplement and cod liver oil every day. so between the cod liver oil and the coconut oil and the occasional avocados, i figure i have my efa's covered. i also try to cut down on carbs, sugar, and gluten (though i'm not completely 100% free of any). i also try to eat organic and grass-fed whenever possible. ANDDDD i exercise 5x a week.
before doing all of that, and before i knew i had thyroid issues, i was a mess! lethargic, depressed, acne, hair loss, migraines, bloating ect... so i've improved a lot, though i know i'm not completely healthy. it feels like a constant battle.
