9 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 9 of my favorites:
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!
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.
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.
LUMEBOX Red Light Therapy | Save $260 off
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
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***
Araza Beauty Non-Toxic Cosmetics | Save 10% off with code: Rassp10
Why non-toxic cosmetics?
Most of the cosmetics on the market contain hormone and thyroid disrupting chemicals like heavy metals, fragrance, and more.
I’m obsessed with Araza Beauty because they are:
The first paleo certified makeup company
Ingredients like plant extracts, nourishing fats, and earth based minerals
High polyphenol content promotes new skin cell regeneration
Natural SPF blue light blocking and anti-pollution
Made with a coconut post-biotic that balances your skin’s natural micro-biome + increases moisture
I’ve tried a ton of other natural cosmetics and non make my skin feel as healthy and glowy as Araza’s All-in One Coconut Cream Foundation. I also love their mango pot blush in rosy. (code: Rassp10)
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.
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!
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.
Benefits of Risewell for Hashimotos:
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
I’ve tried all the other fluoride-free toothpastes out there and this one is by far the best tasting and quality.
Pique Tea Non-Toxic Tea and Matcha | Save up to 15% 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.
Olive Tree People Waterless Skincare | Take the skin quiz
Did you know that most skincare products on the market contain hormone disruption chemicals and contain 70% water?
I’m obsessed with Olive Tree People’s Bioactive Waterless skincare because they have a special ingredient called hydroxytyrosol that:
counteracts redness, irritation, pigmentation, and natural skin aging
protects human cells from oxidative stress
Supports the cells in forming new collagen
Replaces 70% of water content which is normally used in skincare products
I was never really a skincare type of gal.
But within just 2-3 days of using the products on my skin quiz, my skin has never looked so bright and glowy. I started with the F06 and F07 and even just using these every morning and night befor bed have made a huge difference!
