What is thyroid-healthy eating?

Well, that can be a tricky question to answer because there is no one-size-fits-all thyroid diet. We all have unique dietary needs and sensitivities. 

In this episode of Thyroid-healthy Bites, we're going to cover the why's and how's of thyroid-healthy eating, so you can think about your current diet, and how it may or may not be serving your thyroid and overall health.

Chicken Saltimbocca is a classic Italian dish where chicken cutlets are wrapped in fresh sage and prosciutto, then browned in a skillet, and topped with a rich and lemony pan sauce. Saltimbocca can also be made with pork or veal cutlets, but chicken is so easy to source and works especially well here. 

We make this version all the time at home and it's always a showstopper. In fact, the Italian translation of "Saltimbocca," is, "It jumps in the mouth!" 

Watching the way my family wolf's this down, I would say that's pretty accurate! LOL

But the best part about this recipe for us Thyroid Thrivers is that it is gluten-free, dairy-free, Paleo, and AIP-friendly.

Thyroid-healthy eating can sometimes feel like a game of compromise. How can we enjoy burger night, without the super-processed, glutinous bun? The answer: Burger Salad.

Trust me when I say that there really are no compromises here. This meal plays on repeat at our house, and truth be told, I'm the only one skipping the bun. I'm also the one having the MOST fun loading up my plate with all the deluxe toppings I want! No bloat, no guilt, no gluten, and no regrets. Burgers are just better this way.
