Your thyroid needs carbs.

I had a light #peatstr snack for din din. Melted ghee butter infused with rosemary and sea salt flakes. Tasty

Cooking carrots makes them filly digestible, so you lose the antiseptic effect, and also get exposed to tons of beta-carotene, which is sadly anti-metabolic.
"Dr. Ray Peat suggests that beta-carotene can interfere with thyroid function and may not effectively convert to vitamin A in some individuals, particularly those with low thyroid activity. He recommends avoiding excessive intake of beta-carotene and focusing on obtaining vitamin A from animal sources instead."
Don't get me wrong, I love well cooked carrots especially in carrot cake and homemade Japanese curry.
I beg to differ.
I healed my hypo thyroid (TSH 5.2) from 23 years of vegetarianism. It took one year on a low carb ketogenic diet to completely heal and my TSH went down to very respectable 1.4.. Have been zero carb carnivore for almost 2 years now. Phenomenal results..💪 🥩 🥰
