13 Of My Thyroid Friendly Favorites

There are a ton of products out on the market these days, but the sad reality is that many of them have not been tested for our health and safety. Many of them are even adding more inflammation to our poor Hashimotos bodies. (No thank you!)

Toxins are a root cause of hormone imbalances, thyroid disorders, and autoimmune diseases. We cannot control all of the toxins that are constantly coming at our Hashimotos bodies, but we can control the products we invest in to care for ourselves and have around our home.

I remember feeling very overwhelmed at the beginning of my Hashimotos journey, so I compiled a list of products (of all different price ranges) that I not only recommend, but also personally use myself to lower my toxin load and keep my body healthy with Hashimotos Disease. Any change no matter how big or small is a huge step at bringing down the inflammation in your body and feeling more like yourself again.

Here are 13 of my favorites:

Therasage Infrared Sauna (Use code: “Rassp10” for 10% off)

Use code: RASSP10 for 10% off

Benefits for Hashimotos:

  • Improved sleep

  • Skin health

  • Relieves pain,

  • Increases circulation

  • Stress relief

  • Aids in detoxification

  • Decreases inflammation

FAQ : “What’s the difference is between a traditional sauna you might use at the gym versus an infrared?’

Answer: Infrared is unique in that it heats the body from it’s core allowing your body to excrete more toxins while sweating. Many traditional saunas also have high levels of EMF (electromagnetic frequencies) which can add more toxicity to the body.

Why I choose the Therasage sauna:

  • Full spectrum infrared frequencies

  • No VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds or off gassing)

  • Low EMF (electromagnetic frequencies)

  • Non-toxic bamboo materials

I love having this portable one in the convenience of my home! I also move quite a bit and it’s nice to have something that is portable that I can easily pack up and travel with me. My skin finally started to clear up as soon as I started using one consistently. Great for anyone who wants to reduce inflammation from the comfort of their home.

Air Doctor Pro Air Purifier (Save up to $300 off)

Why is having a high quality air purifier is important?

Mold, Volatile Organic Compounds (from toxins found in our home), and other contaminants found in our indoor environment can throw off your thyroid, hormones and immune system.

Benefits for Hashimotos:

  • Air Doctor Pro captures 100% of airborne particles as small as 0.003 microns in size for: mold, dust,viruses, bacteria, pollen, smoke, viruses, and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s).

I keep mine in my room and it helps me breathe and sleep better at night. It comes with a carbon filter (lasts about 6 months), a Ultra HEPA Filter (lasts about a year), and a pre-filter that goes over the carbon filter (you can wash and vacuum over it to allow for longer use).

Makes a great gift for any household!

Benefits for Hashimotos:

  • Improved skin health

  • Reduced inflammation

  • Reduced pain

  • Improved immunity

  • Improved thyroid health

  • Improved sleep + emotional well-being

  • Research shows it can help aid in lowering TPO antibodies

Use code: RASSP10 for 10% off

Use code: “Rassp10” for 10% off

I use mine every morning for 20 minutes. My skin looks younger and it’s helped me combat a lot of the persistent cystic acne I was battling. I recommend this brand specifically because it has low EMF (electromagnetic frequencies) so it’s not adding additional toxins/stress to the body.

FAQ: What’s the difference between an infrared sauna and the red light therapy?

Answer: Both has amazing benefits, just slightly different. The infrared sauna uses heat to excrete toxins from the body while red light therapy uses wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and regenerate your cells.

Xtrema Non-Toxic 100% Ceramic Cookware (Link automatically applies 10% off)

Why non- toxic cookware?

Heavy metals and toxins in traditional cookware (such as Teflon) leech into your food causing thyroid and hormone disruption. Many “ceramic cookware” on the market are not truly non-toxic. Many still contain coatings that can leech chemicals into your food.

Benefits of Xtrema for Hashimotos:

  • Xtrema cookware contains no: PFOA, PTFE, glues, polymers, coatings or dyes.

  • Will never leech chemicals, metal, cadmium, lead or change the taste of your food

  • Scratch resistant

I personally love how it doesn’t chip, scratch and it’s super easy to clean after cooking! (**note— these are not non-stick pans and need to have oil heated before adding food to avoid sticking***

Branch Basics Non-Toxic Cleaning Starter Kit (Use code: “Rassp10” for 10% off starter kits)

Why do cleaning products matter + why do I choose this brand over others?

Chemicals in most of our cleaning products today contain harmful ingredients known to cause thyroid, immune, and reproductive harm. Many claim to be “safe” by using unregulated terms like “Eco friendly” or “green” etc, which really means nothing in terms of toxicity for hormone health. Many also contain the word “fragrance” which is sneaky word for chemical nightmare.

Use code: RASSP10 for 10% or 20% off

Use code: “Rassp10” for 10% -20% off

Benefits for Hashimotos:

  • Plant and mineral based

  • Fragrance - free

  • MADE-SAFE Certified ( ensures no harmful thyroid disrupting chemicals are allowed)

  • Not tested on animals

  • Non-GMO

    I love how the starter kit lasts a really long time because the water bottles are refillable with the concentrate. I bought my sister’s family one for the holidays last year and now she loves them too!

Fontana Candle Company’s Non-toxic Candles: (Link automatically applies 15% off)

Why non-toxic candles? 

Link automatically applies 15% off

Most candles contain chemicals like formaldehyde, fragrance, and heavy metals that your thyroid and immune system isn’t a fan of.

Benefits of Fontana Candles for Hashimotos:

  • Made only from beeswax, coconut oil, and essential oils

  • MADE SAFE Certified (free of heavy metals + endocrine and hormone disrupting chemicals)

  • Wood wick

Makes for a great stocking suffer! Perfect gift for any household!

“Before enrolling in Hashimots 101, I felt defeated. I had a lot of inflammation and was constantly breaking out in hives. I was always tired and the brain fog was affecting my job. I really didn’t’ know what to do to fix my situation. After taking the course, my inflammation and constant joint pain had gone away. I feel overall better. I have gained so much from the course. I feel I can now better explain to myself and others what is going on with my body.” — Kayla

Risewell's Fluoride- Free Toothpaste + Oral Care (Use code: RASSp10 for 10% off) 

Why fluoride free-toothpaste?

Despite what your dentist may tell you, fluoride is toxic for our immune and thyroid health. Research shows it directly affects the conversion of T4 to T3 which is important for thyroid health.

Use code: RASSP10 for 10% off

  • Fluoride-free

  • Paraban-free

  • SLS and Sulfate-free

  • No artificial colors or preservatives

  • Contains Hydroxyapetite- a special ingredient that aids in re-mineralizing the enamel of your teeth

Queen of Thrones Castor Oil Pack ( Use code: “Hashimotos10” for 10% off

Benefits of Castor Oil packs for Hashimotos:

  • Reduces inflammation

  • Improves digestion

  • Eliminates toxins

  • Improves sleep + stress

It’s recommended to use daily for at least 60 minutes consistently for optimal results.

I love this particular castor oil pack because it’s not as messy, easy to use, and heatless/ does not require a heating pad unlike other castor oil packs out there. I sleep with mine on at night underneath an old t-shirt and I’ve noticed regular bowel movements that were not happening on their own before! (The oil does stain so be mindful to use on old clothing).

Pique Tea Non-Toxic Tea and Matcha (use code: AllisonR for 5% off)

Why non-toxic tea and matcha?

Unfortunately steeping a single tea bag releases approximately 11.6 billion microplastics into a single cup beverage. Many tea bags are sealed with polyethylene and release plastics when steeped. Tea is one of the most pesticide laden crops and can due to long shelf lives can accumulate mold.

Benefits of Piquetea for Hashimotos:

  • Triple toxin screened for pesticides, heavy metals, and toxic mold

  • Free of preservatives, sugar, and artificial sweeteners

  • Sun goddess Matcha contains L-theanine for calming energy

    There are tons of flavors to meet anyone’s taste buds! I personally love the Ginger Digestion Elixir for when I’m having a digestive flare-up.

King Coffee (Thyroid Friendly Reishi coffee)

How is this coffee different than others?

Traditional coffee is acidic, it dehydrates, raises blood pressure, increases your cortisol (your stress hormone), creates jitters, creates caffeine crashes, can cause headaches, contains approximately 135mg of caffeine, and often contains mold and mycotoxins. Aka—things the Hashimotos body isn’t a fan of.

Benefits of King Coffee for Hashimotos:

  • Contains organic Gonoderma Reishi spores (great for supporting your immune system)

  • Non- acidic

  • Balances PH levels

  • Boosts immunity and gut function

  • Oxygenates the body and provides gentle detoxification

  • No jitters or crash

  • Contains 9mg of caffeine

  • Tested for mold and mycotoxins

  • Anti-parasitic and anti-candida

I avoided coffee for years because the caffeine made me feel so jittery and would plummet my adrenals. I now cannot go a day without drinking King Coffee. I have noticed improved sleep, decreased sugar cravings, improved digestive symptoms, and more energy with drinking it daily. I love adding some Laird’s superfood creamer and Further Food Collagen Peptides (“RASSP15” for 15% off) for hair, nail, and skin support.

Aqua Tru Water Filtration (link automatically applies up to $150 off)

Why our water matters:

Unfortunately our water supply is filled with toxins. Fluoride, pesticides, heavy metals (arsenic, lead etc.), chlorine, PFA’s are just a few toxins our drinking water is filled with which can wreck havoc on our immune system and thyroid health. Click here to check the contaminants found in your local water supply.

Link automatically applies up to $150 off

Benefits of the Aqua Tru for Hashimotos:

  • Uses reverse osmosis to filter out over 83 contaminants including lead, chlorine, nitrates, PFA’s, and fluoride (things the thyroid and immune system isn’t a fan of)

Having this in the convenience of my house has saved me a ton of money from having to buy water at the store.

Makes for a great give for any household!

Butcher Box (high quality meat delivery subscription)

Why high quality meat matters:

Over 70% of our immune system resides in our digestive tract. Eating good quality animal protein (grass-fed, organic-free range) supports your immune system by providing essential nutrients your digestive tract and your thyroid needs to thrive, Farmed factory/raised meats are processed and can add inflammation to our digestive tract.

Benefits of Butcher Box for Hashimotos:

  • Highly quality meat (100% grass-fed beef, free-range organic chicken, humanely raised pork and wild-caught seafood) —All anti-inflammatory)

  • Flexible (Free shipping + can cancel at anytime)

  • Saves you time of having to go to the grocery store

It’s been so convenient having a stash of meat in the freezer to have on hand for those nights I don’t having time to run to the grocery store.
