Posting this because I've been fussing at my partner for like what feels like years now to eat some iodized salt and they haven't done so and keep complaining about "maybe I have seasonal depression" or this or that and like okay unless I'm an ignorant shit ass moron there are few dietary sources of iodine outside of SEAFOOD, DAIRY, EGGS or SEAWEED which is basically seafood but for vegans. Anyway, unless you're eating that DAILY because it's water soluble i'm pretty sure, you should be supplementing your diet with probably at least HALF A TEASPOON of iodine EVERY DAY. depending on your weight and whatnot but also like just vibe it out

eat some iodized salt, it was a medical miracle of the 19th or whatever (I'm not an encyclopedia and I'm drunk) century

it imparts a metallic taste to food but like you can just mix it up into some water and swig it, treat it like a vitamin, idk dawg

your thyroid will be like yummy yummy yummy yummy and you might feel more energetic and you'll definitely be at less risk of developing goiter! don't make me fuss at you! eat your salt!

p.s. good news it's one of the cheapest things you can buy (so-far )

from what I've read, in contrast to the useless mountain of vitamins influences push, the reasonable supplements which normal people should take daily include vitamin D, omega 3, magnesium, a generic multi vitamin, creatine, protein.... which is still ends up as like a huge fistful of pills. at least it only costs a few cents per day, being mostly the protein powder, but I still feel geriatric opening 5 different pill bottles every morning. I'd feel even more geriatric having a pill calendar I fill up each week, and most are probably not large enough to fit the 6 whole fish oil capsules you're supposed to take every day.

Get some fiber in that diet, too. I'm on the same regimen, omega 3, magnesium, multivitamin, vitamin C. Started soaking chia seeds in water and a squirt of lemon juice. 3 tbsp of chia seeds is about enough of your daily recommended fiber for the day. 95% of amerikkkans don't eat enough fiber every day. It's been a game changer for me
