❌ 5. Excess Caffeine
The Adrenal & Thyroid Stressor
Foods to watch:
- Coffee, energy drinks, strong black tea
While moderate caffeine is fine for most, excess intake can:

- Disrupt sleep and adrenal health — which affects thyroid function
- Interfere with thyroid medication absorption (wait at least 60 minutes after taking meds)
🟢 Smart tip:
Limit to 1–2 cups of coffee per day, and avoid drinking it with breakfast if you take thyroid meds.
