Thanks for the continued feedback! I do have subclinical hypothyroidism (said nutritionist wasn't sure what that was), but it's well controlled. I just had blood work checked by my primary care, and I'm happy with the numbers. The primary care said she wasn't sure what else to check medically - hence, the nutritionist. Not sure where else to look medically - since there's really not more blood work to check. I do need to get the knee resolves, so I can get back to my level of activity.
The veggie advice was in no way related to the thyroid issue. There are veggies that can interfere with thyroid hormone, but what my doc told me is that if I eat them consistently, my dosage will compensate (i.e., if they depress the levels, the dosage gets adjusted up, and we dose based on part of the dosage not being absorbed). I'm OK with that, and it mirrors my research. Soy, cabbage, and broccoli are all potentially problematic - but I eat them very consistently and my numbers are fine. I do try to add seaweed and other iodine rich foods as an added bonus.
Most days in life don't stand out, But life's about those days that will...
