Organic egg I would suggest avoid or limit all non-fermented soy product .

Thyroid and Soy

If you eat once a week / bi week especially with seafood, i believe it wouldnt harm that much.

Eat the right fat and cholesterol to improve your cholesterol profile. ( Increase HDL and reduce LDL ). Avoid sugar, limit refined starchy carbohydrate to reduce trygyceride level.

The difference in organic and non-organic animal foods is significant. As an example, let’s look at the difference between organic and non-organic eggs. We function best when we eat an equal balance of two fatty acids: omega-6 and omega-3. Having too much omega-6 and too little omega-3 leads to numerous health problems, including generalized inflammation, high blood pressure, depressed immune function, weight gain, an irritated intestinal tract, and a tendency to form blood clots. An organic egg, one that comes from a hen allowed to eat green plants and insects, contains an optimal ratio of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids of 1:1. A commercial supermarket egg from a hen that is fed mainly grain in a factory-farm environment has a ratio closer to 15 or 20:1.

Best wishes of luck
