I take thyroid meds about three minutes before porridge. Coffee and bran affect levothyroxine absorption, so avoid having these within an hour of taking levothyroxine. You can of course take your levothyroxine at bedtime if you find that easier.

Take meds at 7.30am. Drink smoothie containing walnuts, almonds, avocado, mixed frozen berries, banana, ginger, lime juice and spinach (don't be put off..it tastes good) at 9.30. I read that milk inhibits T4 uptake so I avoid this and also caffeine for a few hours after meds.
