Meal plans are easy to follow. Listening to your body can be much harder, yet it's often the missing key in long-term thyroid healing.

In this Q&A episode, I'm answering a common question: Is a thyroid-specific meal plan required to heal? I start by explaining why paying attention to your body's signals is more powerful than following rigid rules, then explore how a personalized, flexible approach creates more sustainable progress. I also share how I guide patients through food tracking, health coaching, and anti-inflammatory principles—all without relying on strict diets.

If you've ever felt frustrated trying to 'follow the plan' while still not seeing better results, this episode is for you. Tune in for a more grounded, individualized path forward.
