My experience with Levothyroxine has been different. I’ve never known anyone, including myself, who has had anything but great benefit with no side effects from this hormone. I can finally lose weight, my hair is thick again, and my fatigue is very much mitigated. Food as a curative has only gone so far to get my body back to functioning as it should.

Just wondering… what do you eat? Like what things at home do you make that a caterer would be unable to make? I don’t mean this snarky, but genuinely curious!

I am very concerned with ethical food production, so pretty much free range chicken and grass fed beef are my proteins. Quinoa and brown rice are my sides. I eat mostly veggies but I do source organically and locally. I’m lucky to live by a ton of great farmstands and organic CSA’s.
Im pretty sure if I went to a therapist they’d consider me some type of OCD. But it does keep me off meds.
Again, if you’re doing well on thyroid meds I am in no way saying that they’re bad! I’m just not a severe a case, so I can manage it with food. Some day, I might not be able to. Then I’ll take meds.

can you have your caterer serve you food that you brought from home? They can just bring the plate from the back like everyone elses. No one will notice that your plate is different. If anyone does just say that you have certain allergies.

Sorry but to me this seems like a form of orthorexia ….
You can’t even trust a caterer to make something suitable for your diet if you give them all your restrictions in advance (e.g. give me a plain chicken breast that has been organically and ethically sourced and a side of brown rice) ? You get anxious at the thought of them plating your food?
That’s extreme.

I suggest you ask yourself these questions- the Bratman Orthorexia Self-Test*
If you are a healthy-diet enthusiast, and you answer yes to any of the following questions, you may be developing orthorexia nervosa:
(1) I spend so much of my life thinking about, choosing and preparing healthy food that it interferes with other dimensions of my life, such as love, creativity, family, friendship, work and school.
(2) When I eat any food I regard to be unhealthy, I feel anxious, guilty, impure, unclean and/or defiled; even to be near such foods disturbs me, and I feel judgmental of others who eat such foods.
(3) My personal sense of peace, happiness, joy, safety and self-esteem is excessively dependent on the purity and rightness of what I eat.
(4) Sometimes I would like to relax my self-imposed “good food” rules for a special occasion, such as a wedding or a meal with family or friends, but I find that I cannot. (Note: If you have a medical condition in which it is unsafe for you to make ANY exception to your diet, then this item does not apply.)
(5) Over time, I have steadily eliminated more foods and expanded my list of food rules in an attempt to maintain or enhance health benefits; sometimes, I may take an existing food theory and add to it with beliefs of my own.
(6) Following my theory of healthy eating has caused me to lose more weight than most people would say is good for me, or has caused other signs of malnutrition such as hair loss, loss of menstruation or skin problems.
