The TSH level for first trimester of pregnancy is high. This can potentially effect the fetus' mental development. I would suggest you to start thyroid medications ASAP. Please consult a local endocrinologist for a prescription.
The TSH target in 1st Trimester is less than 2.5. This is known as Subclinical hypothyroidism. Food has no relation with this and it is an autoimmune disease.
