Hii ,
Welcome To HCM & Thanks For Asking Your Query Here

Whether people who have hypothyroidism should avoid soy is a topic of debate and there is no established medical fact about it however soy has been thought to interfere with the body's ability to absorb the medication

it is better to take thyroid hormone replacement typically when you have an empty stomach. Generally, it's best to wait four hours after taking thyroid medication to consume any products that contain soy

finally i would strongly suggest you to consult with your Doctor about any food supplement you want to take during the treatment

I hope it help
Thanks & Get well Soon
