Functional Guide:
Immune Modulator (Lowers Antibodies)
Goitrogens (Inhibits T4 Synthesis)
Gut Barrier Support (Heals Leaky Gut)
Strictly use Non-Iodized Rock Salt
⚠️ Protocol: Select ONE option per meal. Graves' disease is an autoimmune condition where antibodies (TRAb/TSI) overstimulate the thyroid. This plan focuses on immune-modulating nutrients (Selenium, Vitamin D, Omega-3s) and gut barrier repair to lower systemic inflammation and directly reduce autoantibody production.
| Preparation: Avoid all gluten and processed dairy, as these are common triggers for autoimmune thyroid flare-ups. Use pure non-iodized salt strictly.
| Monitoring: Monitor thyroid antibodies (TRAb, TPOAb) and inflammatory markers (CRP) via blood work with your endocrinologist.

Extended Medical Disclaimer — Read Before Use
This meal plan is an educational nutritional framework only. It does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. It must not be commenced without the written approval of a licensed physician or endocrinologist who has reviewed your complete thyroid panel.
Medication Synergism If you are prescribed anti-thyroid medications (Methimazole, PTU), this diet will compound their effects. Your doctor may need to adjust your medication dosages to prevent you from swinging into hypothyroidism.
Selenium Toxicity Do not exceed 3-4 Brazil nuts daily. Selenium toxicity (selenosis) can occur at high doses, leading to hair loss, gastrointestinal distress, and nerve damage.
Iodine Strictness You must strictly avoid all iodized table salt, seaweeds, kelp, spirulina, and marine seafood. Use pure rock salt (Sendha Namak) or non-iodized salt for all cooking.
Gluten & Dairy Elimination For patients with autoimmune thyroiditis, a strict 60-90 day elimination of gluten and conventional A1 dairy is highly recommended by functional medicine practitioners to assess antibody reduction.
