Dietary recommendations to support thyroid function include getting adequate protein ie organic beef, poultry, eggs, fish, cultured milk products such as kefir and yogurt. Thyroid healing foods include these high in the B vitamins such as wheat germ, whole grains, nuts, seeds, dark greens, legumes and Brewer's yeast. Other foods include seaweeds, wheat germ oil or natural Vitamin E,The advice to eat more protein for the thyroid is almost universal. Vitamin E shows up a lot as something that's useful.
