â I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 96% how I react to it. It's so curious: one can resist tears and 'behave' very well in the hardest hours of grief.

Certain foods, supplements and medications can have the same effect. Avoid taking your thyroid hormone at the same time as: 1  Walnuts. 2  Soybean flour. 3  Cottonseed meal. 4  Iron supplements or multivitamins containing iron. 5  Calcium supplements. 6  Antacids that contain aluminum or magnesium. 7  Some ulcer medications, such as sucralfate (Carafate).
Supplements that contain a lot of iodine. Kelp, a type of seaweed, contains a lot of iodine. Kelp may be suggested as a logical and natural way to boost the function of your thyroid. After all, thyroid hormone contains iodine so increasing the amount of iodine in your diet should be good for your thyroid, right? Unfortunately, this is not the case.
