Your patient takes levothyroxine every morning, with coffee. She has read that broccoli is bad for her thyroid, she is thinking about a kelp supplement, and she wants to know why the weight will not shift. You have twenty minutes. This is the reference for that appointment.
Who it's for
Clinical and community dietitians, private-practice dietitians taking thyroid and endocrine referrals, and new graduates who want a defensible, evidence-graded thyroid nutrition pathway. The scope boundary is explicit on every relevant page: dietitians do not diagnose thyroid disease and do not adjust thyroid medication. We optimise the nutrition around the diagnosis and refer back at the right moments.
What's inside
Clinical Guide · 14 chapters, 42 pages, 40 references. Thyroid physiology and the selenium-deiodinase link. Hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's and subclinical disease. Hyperthyroidism and Graves'. Iodine as the double-edged essential: the U-shaped curve, the Wolff-Chaikoff effect and honest kelp cautions. Selenium graded honestly, including the Cochrane verdict on Hashimoto's and the Brazil-nut trap. Levothyroxine absorption, the single most valuable dietetic intervention: coffee, calcium, iron, fibre, soy and consistency. Goitrogens, myth versus mechanism. Iron, vitamin D, B12 and zinc. Gluten, coeliac and the AIP question. Weight and realistic expectations. The low-iodine diet before radioactive iodine. Life stages, a full ADIME framework and a monitoring schedule.

Evidence base
American Thyroid Association guidelines (hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, thyroid cancer, pregnancy), NICE NG145, the British Thyroid Association statement, European Thyroid Association guidelines, the Cochrane review on selenium in Hashimoto's, and current endocrine literature. Where the evidence is weak, on selenium, gluten-free and AIP diets, and ferritin targets, the guide says so plainly rather than overselling it.
What you save
The thyroid appointment runs on a handful of recurring questions: the tablet and the coffee, the kelp bottle, the broccoli myth, the weight that will not shift. This handbook answers each one with graded evidence, a matching patient handout you can print, and a recipe set that backs the advice up at the plate, all while staying firmly inside the dietitian's scope.
