I hate kale, I don’t believe it’s that healthy honestly.
Everyone hates it, that is why everyone that eats it gives you a recipe that calls for smothering it in tons of olive oil and salt until all the kale taste is gone. One guy said he loves kale, gave me his favorite kale soup recipe that includes sausages and bacon, that was pretty good, didn't taste the kale at all!
As far a meds go, I took my 85 year old father to a new family doctor, the nurse nearly fell over in her chair when he told her he takes no meds. They fixed that quickly though, he did leave with a bagful of medicine, my dad put it a drawer and never took a single pill. He doesn't think the docs know enough to full around with your blood chemistry without screwing something else up, he said his body is all "settled" and shouldn't be disrupted. lol

Actually cabbage and kale are both VERY healthy. Kale beats out cabbage mainly in the anti-inflammatory department where it really shines. But kale is such a great vegetable. I suggest reading the attached link from healthline. It's probably one of the healthiest foods on the planet.
Anti-inflammatory. How about eat some raw turmeric for a change. I grow lots of them in my garden. No kale though. I eat kale, but I don’t think they are healthier than cabbage, broccoli, etc.. if you have thyroid or low thyroid problem. It’s best to stay away from kale.
Just eat lots of different vegetables. Vary them too. I buy kale when it’s on sale.but I prefer to eat collard greens.

It’s true that eating a lot of these vegetables could limit your thyroid’s uptake of iodine. The amount you would need to eat to have that effect, however, is very large — much larger than most people would ever normally eat and certainly far more than would be included in a daily smoothie.
In addition, the effect of these vegetables is on the thyroid gland itself. That means for someone like you whose thyroid gland isn’t working properly, and who is taking thyroid hormone replacement medication, even if you ate these vegetables in large amounts, there wouldn’t be any impact on the amount of thyroid hormone in your body.
One and I can phase it out in a couple of years. Generally I don't share health issues except in rare occasions and in generalities, such as YAY cancerversary and cancer free WOOP!
As a retired person, the one thing I avoid talking about is health issues. No one wants hear a bunch of complaints. The complaints only seem to make the complainer feel worse. Nothing is accomplished in the process.
Millions of retirement-aged people are on statins, antihypertensives and insulin. I cannot imagine why anyone would want a list of forum members on those and additional meds.
the only argument I have against this is that when people share on forums sometimes the information can provide some snippets of info that might be useful to others, may comfort others in that their reactions to meds is normal etc. However in daily life with family, friends, acquaintances and strangers it's not a subject I talk about unless specifically asked and it's relevant.

Not everyone. I don't hate it, in fact I like it and, since it actually has little taste at all, I add it to other dishes to make them even healthier without really changing the flavor. I add it shredded fine to coleslaw (sort of redundant, but adds color and antioxidants), soups, casseroles, salads, etc. I also just steam it, and saute it, sometimes with mushrooms and garlic or other add-ins, instead of spinach. The taste is much milder than broccoli or brussel sprouts, which I also like, but understand some people hate brussel sprouts due to bitterness.

Oh, I'm sure...but it'll soon be eclipsed by some fruit found i the Amazon...so don't get too attached.
LOL. Ain't it the truth. We have the magic "moringa" growing here on our grounds. Tried it once and it is so disgusting. Dragon-fruit is another miracle fruit that tastes like a rotten kiwi.
They come n go.
All those healthy kale-related foods are also potentially problematic for kidney stones, so what's a gal to do?

There’s borderline case, not bad enough to take thyroid medicine. My kid used to eat a lot of kale salads until I told her not to. She now eats turmeric.
