Ep. 204: Seaweed, Kelp & Your Thyroid: Superfood or Risky Business?

Seaweed and kelp are praised as superfoods packed with iodine and minerals—but are they actually helping or hurting your thyroid?

In this episode, we dive into the science behind these ocean plants and their impact on thyroid function, especially for those with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s disease.

We’ll explore how iodine affects your thyroid, why too much can be just as harmful as too little, and whether seaweed snacks or kelp supplements belong in your diet. Learn what the research says, who should be cautious, and how to make smart choices when it comes to iodine-rich foods.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your favorite sushi roll could be messing with your hormones, this is the episode for you.
