What Our Members Say

Iodine is a recurring concern for members who avoid seafood and iodized salt. The community is split: some supplement or lean on eggs and dairy, while others report normal thyroid labs on meat alone.

  • Eggs, dairy, and seafood are the most-cited whole-food iodine sources members rely on
  • Members eating regular fish or shellfish rarely report iodine concerns
  • Several recommend periodic thyroid labs rather than guessing at iodine status
  • Those who supplement caution starting low, as high-dose iodine can disrupt thyroid function
