I am 28yrs lady, weigh 64kg, hypothyroid (tsh 21 uiu/ml), foods like potato, eggs, turkey breast, iodised salt are useful in treating hypothyroidism?

No: Hypothyroidism dose not respond to food. If due to iodine deficiency will respond iodine fortification. If due to hashimotors will respond to thyroid hormone meds.

Not necessarily: Hypothyroidism, unless it is caused by lack of dietary iodine will need to be corrected with replacement of thyroid hormone.
