Eating to balance the thyroid

Danielle, This post is for you. I came home and looked it up right away before I forgot. 

Actually my last post is a good recipe for you. Thyroid is a lack of iodine in the body, which helps regulate metabolism. Eating Sea Plants (water-earth) like nori, agar, dulse, kelp,etc... the Vegan Tuna has dulse flakes in it. 

Also, eating soups (earth-water) making it  slower to eat.

Great Pilates class today. Today is full of errands and good family activities!!!

Enjoy today! And Class tonight at 6:30
