Got thyroid issues or an autoimmune condition? Hashimoto's - sadly, far too many people know this autoimmune thyroid condition, and Dr Anshul Gupta is on a global mission to help as many people know as possible, that it can be reversed and put into remission. Frustrated by conventional medicine training, a board-certified family physician, he sought to improve the lives of his patients by training further in Integrative and Functional medicine, working with Dr Mark Hyman at the Cleveland Clinic. He's since helped thousands of patients reverse Hashimoto's and with his new book “Reversing Hashimoto's” he wants to extend that support beyond his clinic doors. We talk all things thyroid health, labs, contributing stressors or imbalances that set the stage for autoimmune conditions and he stuck around for an extra half hour, very generously, to answer your questions submitted on Instagram - if we're not connected there come and join the chat @lowtoxlife.

Hashimotos Thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks the thyroid cells. This causes inflammation and decreased thyroid function, meaning your thyroid will not release certain thyroid hormones.  How do you know if you have Hashimotos? In this episode, I dive into the symptoms and signs of this thyroid issue, ways to test for Hashimotos and action steps to get your hormones on the right track.  Thyroid Test: https://drbethwestie.com/dutch-thyroid-testing/

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Jovita: Hey Dr. Cabral, I would like to know if you can help me with my stomach problem. I get bloated a lot and burp 24/7 to a point where I can't sleep at night. My doctor said I had a chronic constipation and bacteria in my gut and I also have heart burn. And I have been having this problem for 2 years and the medicine doesn't help. Is there anything you have that I can buy to help ? Jenna: Hey Dr. Cabral! I really appreciate this community you've built. It has helped me overcome health complications I didn't think I'd ever heal and restored my faith in the power of my own body and mind. My question is a little different. I am thinking of going back to school to get my masters in psychology because I love the field, but don't know what career I want to pursue with it. I was wondering if functional medicine companies like yours had a psychologist on staff working with the team and the clients. I would love to work with people who are determined to improve their health in all areas. I've thought maybe sports psychology would align the best with working on both the physical and mental aspects of health, but thought I'd ask if there are any opportunities for psychologists on functional medicine teams. Thanks for all your help! Gillian: Hey there Dr. Cabral! I want to thank you first for sharing all your wisdom with all of us. You have an amazing heart for people and touch more people than you will ever know. My question is about breast implants. I got silicone implants 15 years ago and after reading and learning about natural and functional medicine, I think I may have made a big health mistake. While I love the way it makes me look and feel, I do not want to sacrifice my health. I'm in my late 30's and healthy. Should I have them removed for health reasons and if so, are there any heathy alternatives? Thank you so very much! Nancy: Hello Dr Cabral, I am a 57 yr old female with history of Hashimotos Thyroiditis, sleep apnea and I had a heart attack 5 yrs ago with one stent placed. I am on Pravastatin 20mg and zedia 20mg. I have recently gained about 30lbs over covid period due to lack of exercise. I am vegan and gluten free. My cholesterol has crept back up to 190 and my glucose is at pre-diabetic level (over one point) I have gained most of my weight in my middle region and my cortisol is also elevated. My oxidative stress and inflammation markers are low. I sleep well and I meditate and do breath practices. I can't tolerate stronger statins due to side effects. I know exercise will help and am getting back on the wagon. What else can I do to reverse all of this. Thank you. Desire: Hi, is heavy metal intoxication related to Autism/ASD? Is there any treatment recommended if they are related to reducing the effects of heavy metals e.g diet, vitamin or natural therapies? Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral. I've been listening to to show for several years now and it has truly changed my life. Thank you. I've searched for this question but have not found it on the archives. Is broken 8-9 hrs of sleep still considered getting a full 8 hrs sleep? My 6 month old still wakes up once a night, so for instance I will get 6 hrs of straight sleep then another 2-3 hrs after I feed her and she goes back down   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2248 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > View all Functional Medicine lab tests (View all Functional Medicine lab tests you can do right at home for you and your family)

Meet Sarah.  Back in 2009 Sarah first saw symptoms when she was a fashion buyer, working ridiculous hours (a typical go-getter), and was under a lot of stress. Twelve years later, just THIS year, Sarah was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis.Hashimoto's disease affects 850,000 Australians, 1.5% of men and 7.5.% of women, including me! It's a disorder that causes the immune system to attack the thyroid gland. The thyroid's job is to make thyroid hormones, which are secreted into the blood and then carried to every tissue in the body. Thyroid hormones help the body use energy, stay warm and keep the brain, heart, muscles, and other organs working as they should.Sarah still isn't at the end of the road of her health journey, but she is working hard to get there. She's  living in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne with her husband and two beautiful children living a nice slow paced life, looking after her body.If you think you have Hashimoto's Disease, book an appointment with a health care specialist before self-diagnosing.For some informative links:https://www.thyroid.org/hashimotos-thyroiditis/ https://www.hormones-australia.org.au/endocrine-diseases/hypothyroidism/

In this episode, we have Terese Millhouse. Terese was diagnosed with Hashimotos Thyroiditis (under-active thyroid) in 2001, and more recently diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) in 2014. This was triggered by the immense stresses that occurred through caring for his late husband, Matthew, who passed away in August 2015 at 36 years of age.She'd been told that there was no known medical cure for both of her illnesses, and she would just need to manage the CFS and take medication to control the Hashimotos for the rest of my life.Terese decided to take it upon herself to try alternative therapies to see if they improved my energy levels, and started to research the effect of toxins in the environment and household on humans. She discovered the root cause of her CFS and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis that really helped her heal fully! FOLLOW TERESE ON INSTAGRAM▶ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/chronictocuredwellnesscoaching▶ Website - https://www.fromchronictocured.com/my-storyFOLLOW US ON SOCIAL▶ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheChronicComeback▶ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thechroniccomebackSUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST▶ Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-chronic-comeback/id1533970626▶ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW_BGsN1LaeL4iudgSNUw7A▶ Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/71485tI9o4JPPkg1IpmDaX

  Hello. Hello, please help me welcome Donna Chappelear. She is a long time friend, Donna and I have known each other for about 22 years. Um, our kids have played together so much. It's incredible. We each have three and there were a million sleepovers and playdates in the cul-de-sac and they just had the best upbringing together.  It's been a pure joy to have her in my life. And I'm so excited that she's here with me today. She's had a personal medical journey that I have found very fascinating, and I wanted to share it with all my listeners about iron deficiency, especially for women. Iron is a very important thing and I want her to share her story and hopefully inspire somebody else Welcome, Donna. Thank you. It's hard to believe it's been 22 years. I know, I probably shouldn't say that because that's gonna make us both feel older. Awesome, great, great memories for sure. I still picture the girls outside, play in and one of the reasons we love living you're too.   Tell us about your symptoms and what was going on that why you, tried to get some medical help ? Sure. Well, I guess,  I was sitting here the other day thinking exactly what year it was, but it's probably been about seven years ago that really this started. And, um, I. It, you know, it was such a slow thing. That was that.  I think one thing with,  IDA, they call it for iron deficiency anemia, is,  it's a gradual thing. So your body can adapt to, if you start dropping, then you just kind of adapt to that. But you don't, you don't realize, you know, It's really iron, you know, I'm thinking, oh gosh, I'm just getting older. You know, I was going to the gym. I'm like , wait, I used to, could do this. And now I can't. I remember coming home one day after a class and just literally laying on my bed and going, I am exhausted. Why am I so exhausted? So I went, um, I went to my doctor and he's like, wow, your iron is 8.5. And you know, your hemoglobin, which your hemoglobin for women is normally around 12 or higher. And I'm like, wow. Okay. So he said, you know, I'd really like to do some tests to see if there is anything going on internally that we don't know about. Um, which I did have some intestinal inflammation, which that's normal for me, not, not anything out of the ordinary for me, but all the tests came back fine. So he's like, you know, just take some iron supplements and I did, and I did fine, you know, I got my iron up. Didn't think anything about it. And probably a year later, I'm like back at that same place and Did test again and okay. We'll take some iron and, kind of got it back up again and it, it began to be a cycle. About once a year. And so then it was like, um, I took the supplements, the iron, and after a couple months, I'm like, I'm feeling worse. So I went back to the doctor and she said, you know what? I'm going to send you to a hematologist. So I went and they said, you know, obviously you are not absorbing the iron, so sometimes you need an iron infusion. So I'm like, okay. So I did the iron infusion and that kind of has became my life, you know, for the past off and on for the past seven years here and there . Iron infusion in where they they inject it. You have an IV with iron, so it goes, you get the iron right straight in your body because we absorb iron in our small intestines. Um, I wasn't absorbing it and even taking the iron, orally. I was not absorbed. So that's like, you know what, sometimes people just have to have an infusion just to get the iron straight to the body. So I like an IV? It's an IV. Yes. It's called an iron infusion. So I did that thinking, okay, this will solve everything. And then, you know, my iron would be fine for a while and then it would start dropping again. So last year I got really frustrated and, I've been going to a gastro to send my hematologist was like, well, your, your hemoglobin is 12, which is great. Let's see what your ferritin is now. Your ferritin stores, your red blood cells. So I look at it as like checking account and savings accounts. So your savings account is what would be your ferritin that stores your red blood cells and, I think it's like every 30 days you replenish those cells. So anyway, I was taking more out of the ferritin, depleting my ferritin, which then would delete my checking account basically. So that's kind of like the best way to explain it. And she said, well, your, your hemoglobin, which would be, let's say, it's my checking account. It's normal. It looks great. Let's see, when you get your ferritin results back, let's see what it is. Would they like for it to be 50 or above? So she called me and she said, well, your ferritin is 30. And he would like to do another iron infusion. So we're talking within what, four months they went to do another one. And I'm like, what are you kidding me? So I'm like, okay, well maybe I'll go see my gastro to see if there really is something else. He said, well, you know, let's do an MRE and I'm thinking if we just did that two years ago, you know, it didn't show in it didn't show bleeding or anything. So I got really frustrated. I left my gastro going, I am thinking either I had to pay a bunch of money for the irony infusion or bunch of money to have the MRE. And I'm thinking I am tired of just, nobody's getting to the root of the problem. And that's what I want to know is what is going on. So I got my car and I'm just like, I remember driving it and I'm like, you know what, God, I need some answers. Right. And my phone rings and lo and behold, it is my niece calling me. She said, aunt Donna, I have been to Savannah to a functional medicine doctor. She had been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and she had been on thyroid medicine that was creating all kinds of side effects. Like it was affecting her vision. I mean, it really wasn't leveling off her thyroid. Um, well, her sister who is also, my niece is a nurse practitioner in Charleston and her sister said, look, this has been going on. I'm going to recommend, why don't you go to a functioning medicine doctor? They're going to, they're going to run more tests than a regular doctor. So she went to Savannah. So she said, listen, I sat there for an hour. And listened to this doctor explained so much to me that I've never heard of. And she said, they're going to run all of these tests that I've never had run on me. So she said, I thought about you and I'm thinking maybe you need to go, well, I pondered over it for a couple of days and I really I'm just like, okay, God like, oh, here we go. Like, I don't have the money. Cause I know I knew my insurance wasn't gonna pay for it. Exactly. So I called Progressive Medical in Atlanta. And I did know of a couple people that had been there and found out that the root to their problems and got it solved. So they said, if you come we will do a consultation, you just pay 150. If you want to go through with the tests , we'll continue and we'll tell you the price. So I made an appointment and I knew when I sat down and I met with this doctor, first of all, he is a medical doctor. He took a sabbatical and went and got his, I guess, more holistic approach, uh, of medicine. So he was actually an ER doc. Oh, wow. He asked me all sorts of questions that nobody ever asks me and I'm thinking, okay, what does this have to do with this? You know? I think you hit the nail on the head though. And the difference is that you wanted to know the root of the problem and all the regular doctors were just band-aiding. Yeah, that's what I told the gastro. I said, look, I just, we're just treating symptoms. Everybody's putting a bandaid on this. I want to know the root. Right. Said, well, I think if we do this test, And I'm thinking this one test we did two years ago that we still don't have unlike now. I mean, I really got mad about it. It's frustrating. It is. But when I sat down with this doctor, he just told me, he said, Donna, I think you have several things going on. I think you have a low functioning thyroid, I think you do have some inflammation going on in your small intestines. I believe that you also, your adrenal glands are probably off and he said, and I believe that you have a delayed food allergy. And he said, most people do not realize that you can have a delayed food allergy. He said we associate food allergies to an instant reaction, but he said there are lots of foods that may not show up until several days later. So,  I agreed to go through all the tests and, what I found is that with these tests, it takes longer to get the results because they are testing for everything. And, sure enough, he nailed it, I had all those things that he thought I had, so it was about five things and, we changed my diet. I was allergic to gluten, I was allergic to chicken, I was allergic to Turkey, I was allergic to iceberg lettuce, to oranges, to bananas, to, asparagus. I mean, it was a long list of things that I was allergic to. And I'm thinking these are all the foods I eat . Uh, you meet with the nutritionist there and you do a detox basically. Then they give you supplements until you're waiting for all. Cause it takes about six weeks to get all the, the stomach tests, all of those back. And, um, when those came back, I think you have about five good bacteria in your gut. Well, only half. Two that were functioned. And the other three, there was just no good bacteria, which was lot of the reason why I was not absorbing as well, as well as having it did show a small amount of some inflammation too. The more I find out about gut health, it is mind blowing. How many things relate back to your gut and all the ramifications, if you don't have that correct bacteria ratio going on in there., I  try to do some kefir. I try to do a fork full of sauerkraut every day, trying to do there's certain fruits like pineapple that are really good for you. So yeah, I I'm privy to that. It is vital that people take care of their gut. There's actually more neurons in your gut than in your brain. There are, and you, you know, we don't think about that and you hear that saying you are what you eat, but you know, that's true. There's a lot of truth in that.  But I got my iron up, so, um, I had, it did have a little setback in May but I had an enormous amount of stress in my life. My father had passed away and then we had a lot of family just. Just some things that kind of uncontrollable . Sure. So that kind of put me in an inflammation, um, factor with that. And they were very understanding about that and we, you know, had to regroup a little bit and do some things differently. Um, which was fine, but, but I, I feel really good now and, um, you know, I'm really just thankful. And I don't want to dismiss the fact that we do need medical doctors by any means you have to be an advocate for your health. And if you don't feel good with one doctor, go to another, you get as many opinions until you really have peace. But also there are other things that you can do to heal the body besides pharmaceuticals and I know that's a big, controversial issue now, but you know, just learning about some of the foods and just even the supplements that I take, that are all natural. They actually, I think kind of have their own compounding, I guess pharmaceutical place that, that compounds a lot of these supplements and you can actually order off Amazon too . I take ultra inflow max, which I drink that every day. And, there's, it's called GI health, which is for the macro biomes and your gut. Um, all of that to try to balance that, take a tablespoon at that. I was also very low in vitamin D. before 12 o'clock noon, you got to get signed. It's not only good for vitamin D, but your circadian rhythm, and you will sleep better if you can get in the outside by noon, which is better for sunburn anyway, but you can't do it with sunblock on because I've had to Nope right now, but it's really good for your whole body. It has a lot of benefits and it always gets tabooed about skin cancer, but it really does have its place . Well, and then to, you know, relate to a lot of the sunscreens are not truly what they're supposed to be. My niece, just told me some of the best sunscreens to use. And, um, you know, so just even things like that, that, that I've learned, that, Hey, Stay out in the sun for a little while. And then, then I put the sunscreen on, you know, yeah. 10, 15 minutes is all you need. Actually I just read a study, they came out when they said it's kind of more toxic for your body. They should do sunscreen a little bit before you go outside, but do it once only, and if you're out there longer than you, then actually cover up don't reapply because very toxic the chemicals that they use in there . If anything that I would encourage in this podcast would be for people to do your research. Don't don't fall for everything. And, and, you know, I told my niece, I said, you know, I think, um, You know, when we go to a doctor where we're entrusting them, because they've been to medical school, they had the knowledge for that, and we're entrusting them with, we're really putting our hand. I, you know, I bought it in their hands. I've been trusting that they're going to do the best for me, but what I have found is that. They're really good for just treating the symptoms. I mean, you've got all these specialists in it and in that, that specialty, if they can't find something, will they send you to another specialist? And I think one thing that I loved about going to progressive medical is they treat the whole body. And you're looking at everything and, you know, our body is so detailed and it's so, and I don't, I don't know much about how it all works, but I do know every little thing affects everything. And everything serves a purpose, you know, and the thyroid is huge . I always tell people with food, food is a solider. And you put it in your body, and they can fight for  just going to fight against you and you can either pay for the better food or you're going to pay for the doctor bills, that's the way I live. That is, that is the truth and, and sadly, Sadly, you know, they have to know this. You have to know that the chemicals that are in the foods are toxic. Oh, they do. It creates, you know, it, it, you know, it's like my husband just said yesterday, um, a week. We went to a very nice restaurant. It's our favorite restaurant in Atlanta. And they had eliminated some things on the menu and, he had asked for half and half tea, sweet tea, unsweet. Cause in the south you drink sweet tea. And he said, well, could you bring me the, just the sugary water? She said, sure. And so Caleb's like, okay,  why don't they have sweet tea? You know, we're here to in Georgia and, you know, we were kind of talking through that in my husband's like; remember, everything is always about money, Caleb. You know, there's some truth in that, unfortunately,  in the medical industry with big pharma, you know,  it's yeah, it's all a money making business. So I couldn't agree more with that. And it pains my heart because it's such a sad state of affairs. Um, that money governs life and death, you know, it's kinda kind of really crazy.  I agree with you  you know, medical doctors have their place and they're good for emergencies. They're good for the symptoms, but for the cause there's other answers out there. and I love that whole body approach. I think that's so smart because most doctors look for one reason and like you ended up have several and nobody would have ever known that for you unless you went the route. You did. Yeah. I mean, I, would've never known that. I mean, I did question my thyroid because my oldest sister has Hashimotos. Um, and then my other sister does have a Goiter that she's watching on her thyroid. She was supposed to get surgery. So my mother had thyroid issues. So there is obviously some sort of a genetic connection. But I, and you know, this doctor explained to me that he said, uh, what was happening with my body is he said your body's actually using the iron as a food source. So, and I said, that is, that is how I feel. I feel like something's eating it. It truthfully, it is it's taking it and using it as a food source. So, um, I should have gone back cause I do ask them on video and listened to everything. Cause he's. Crazy smart. Um, but it, it was, you know, it was very intriguing, but it was also very comforting to know that okay, you know, there really wasn't there was a root cause for all of this. And yes, I may flare again, it may, you know, drop again, which you know, but there's also things that contribute. Now, we kinda know what can contribute to that. And it's great that you have the power to handle that yourself. Like you don't have to go somewhere and get a prescription or get drugs. It's like, it's right in your pantry and your refrigerator and the grocery store, like the majority of your answers to help you help yourself, which is very empowering.  I mean, to feel that way that I have control too,  which is it's very self satisfying. Well, thankfully we had more whole food places that are opening up and, and you have resources available online that, that now deliver, you know, a lot of that. So, you know, and I, my sister was talking to me earlier today about it and, and I said, she's like, it's just so expensive. And I said, you know, Debra, I know there are people that probably can't afford to eat all of it, but I said, You can pick and choose. Yep. Just do the best that you can. If you can eliminate, like know he doesn't, there's like the dirty dozen. I know my niece sent me that list of dirty dozen and she's, she's a huge advocate.  It's so interesting because here she is a nurse practitioner and, and she has a story in herself,  with her journey and things that she's been researched in the past several years. And, she is very much an advocate,  the foods that we eat and, that we can eliminate a lot of illnesses, about what we eat. But we also, if there was more being taught about building up the immune system, you can fight a lot of these things.  So, you know, we're in a position now that, I mean, you know, it just, I just feel like we're kind of in a day in time where it's going to be one illness after another, that's going to be. You know, constantly hearing about it and let's push this, you know, better take care of yourself. I mean, find the things that that will boost your immune system. Get sleep, get exercise and yeah. Advocate asleep sleep is the number one thing. People have no idea. How many things that, that affects it's actually the number one thing to do for weight loss, nobody ever guesses that, or knows that no, you're right in the gym, you will lose weight I get their head on the pillow, because it does so many clean-outs and replenishing of things, right. And just because you're sleeping for eight hours, doesn't mean you are a quality sleep. It's ed. My I'm a very big proponent of quality sleep. Absolutely. I couldn't agree more with you. Donna and I caught back up with each other on the street, not that long ago. And we probably sat out there, I don't know, an hour or two. I kept you from walking. I felt bad. No, no, no, no. I know everybody can't see Donna, but Donna has always been extremely fit. She's always walked and been physically active. So, for her to feel like she has to lay in bed , you know, that she was definitely not feeling like herself, for sure.  I'm thrilled that you went the route you did and that you you've got a handle on this and I hope other people are inspired to  utilize all the resources because it's A against B it's, it's using them both. Um, I love that you tried to find the root of the issue and instead of just the symptoms. So I have one last question for you, if there's one thing that you could eliminate in this world, what would it be and why? I know it's a tough one. Goodness. I know,  you asked me that I needed to sit there and ponder over it. So, I'm going to give you something that everybody probably is going to laugh, but because we live in the south and, you know, we've had a great summer so far and I'm so, so thankful, but I have big hair. Um, and when it is very humid, I can't do anything with my hair. It just grows bigger and kinkier, I would love to eliminate humidity, however, I know we need humidity, the moisture helps her skin, but it doesn't do anything for my hair at all. I love that answer. It's so fun. It's fun, but it probably makes a lot of irritability out there. Nobody I've ever heard of, likes humidity. Yeah. I mean, that, that was, you know, I mean, there are a lot of things I would love to eliminate. Right. Um, I'm like, I'm just going to answer a fun one because I know I complain about it. Like it I'm like, okay, I can do my hair, but the minute I walk out the door, it's just going to get bigger. It doesn't matter what, but I love that. I think that is fun and we all need levity laughter and playing around and all that is,  just as good for your health as anything else. I just want to say thank you, to our listeners for listening and then for Donna for sharing her story. I hope everyone got some value out of this today. And, uh, that was really inspiring what you did. And I think brave too, because a lot of people just don't venture that route. You know what I mean? They just think doctors have all the answers and they never seek to find different ones. Because they just think that they've gone to medical school, they know the answer, but there are other answers out there. I will say this, um, I would just really encourage your listeners that if they, if they have continued to go into different doctors and can't find an answer, a functioning medicine doctor, you will find that a lot of them, we're former, I mean, they're still doctors, so there's a, you know, there's a misconception about that, but, um, a lot of them are, they had just gone in this direction, a more holistic approach, um, because really they're trying to prevent a lot of things too. And, um, so, you know, just kind of go with your gut.  Look, we, we all had that for a reason, if that's a God given thing, and if you don't feel good about something, then it's okay to go somewhere else and talk to other people, you know, also seek out other people if you know, somebody in the medical field, you know, I mean just, or somebody it's a nutritionist. I mean, just, you know, just seek somebody out. And another thing I would encourage to Caroline is, you know, we all want quick fix and that's the thing that's probably for a lot of people, not better is because they want a quick fix. This is yes. I mean he told me it could be almost a year, I'm actually began to add back a lot of those things. Um, I cheated during the vacation, my vacation time just to see how my body would respond. Sure. Um, I am, you know, back off of that and I'll get back in my, you know, eating, eating better. You know, and, and that's another thing too, we need to have some, some cheats here and there and that's okay. Right, exactly.  I just came off of a girls' trip and yet I'm like, back on the bandwagon here, but yeah. You just, you, you have to indulge in life a little bit here and there, not every day, not the whole day, but like a cheat meal a week I like to recommend, is great. I think that's just awesome. And I'm just so happy that you're feeling better. Thank you, me too.  And you need to share some of your recipes on these podcasts, because if people don't that are listening, do not know what an incredible cook you are. thank you. You are. So I know you want to give a shout out to progressive medical. I know that they were instrumental in helping you on your journey, and I think that's fabulous. They were, they are the kindest people. I'm going to say this. I had an appointment the day, my dad passed away and I had to call them that morning and say, I'm so sorry. Cause it was on a Monday. And I said, I can't, I am out of town. My father has just passed. And they were just so understanding, oh, they called me the next day. They just, you know, when I'm like the fact that took the initiative. I got goosebumps. Yeah. Well, how many people, number one are going to remember that. And then number two, reach out and just say,  we're just checking on, on you and want you to know that we're thinking about you and you take your time when you, you know, need to reschedule. And that meant a lot to me. Absolutely. That's so beautiful. I mean, like I say, not many people do that and they think of it. They don't usually act upon it. So they did both. . So I'm glad we gave them the shout out because they'll, they deserve it and I will put them in the show notes as well. Um, but thanks again, Donna, this was such a hoot catching back up with you. So glad we ran into each other after all this time. I know! We need to get out more. So, all right, so thank you so much. And, as I always say, "life has no remote, so get up and change it yourself." That's right

This video outlines how you can use lasers to treat Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Using lasers may help regenerate thyroid gland tissue. Is it possible to regenerate thyroid gland tissue that has been damaged? Well, you can't regrow thyroid gland tissue which is DEAD but you may be able to heal or accelerate the healing process of DAMAGED thyroid gland tissue. It turns out that there are certain cold lasers, termed low level light therapy, which may have a beneficial effect on treating Hashimoto's thyroiditis. These lasers are COLD lasers which mean that they don't burn your skin. And because the thyroid gland is so close to the skin, it's possible for these lasers to penetrate into the thyroid glad in the neck. Some recent studies have shown that LLLT lasers can help reduce inflammation in the thyroid gland, improve thyroid gland size, and more. Learn more about using lasers to treat Hashimoto's thyroiditis and how/if you should try this interesting therapy/treatment!

I'm Dr. Westin Childs and I focus on thyroid health, hormone balance, and weight loss. I write about thyroid disorders, weight loss, insulin resistance, estrogen/progesterone balance on my blog. I truly believe that hormone balance is the key to managing your weight, your mood and your quality of life which is why I'm so passionate about it.

For more information on this topic or to schedule a consultation please visit us at http://WhatIsHashimotos.com The question is what are symptoms of a Hashimoto's thyroiditis flare up. So there's the common symptoms. I'm assuming the person asking this and the person tuning into this as interest already know something about Hashimoto's. So Hashimoto's flares up. Many things can flare it up. I mean we've talked about that. They're lifestyle things that can flare it up. There's lack of sleep. There's over-exercise, there's poor relationships. There's blood sugar problems can do it. And then there's food sensitivities and chemicals and viruses and pathogens and moles, and on and on. There's like, again, the third famous 39 triggers that can flare it up. There's the symptomatic overactive thyroid symptoms are pretty much anxiety. It can flare up anxiety. It can I think like the cardinal sign to me is heart palpitations for no reason at all. Heart palpitation that come and go for no reason at all. Something goes, something triggers your thyroid. The thyroid starts vomiting out thyroid hormone, more than it should. It increases your metabolism and your heart has a gazillion thyroid receptors on it, more than any place else in your body. And so the thyroid hit your arm and you start getting heart palpitations for no reason. Inward trembling, which comes directly from that increased thyroid. Shakiness, like if you some for not everybody but for some people start to get shakiness or some people will start to get worse balance problems because their cerebellum is being attacked by the thyroid. Insomnia, the insomnia fires up the system. Starts screwing up your blood sugar. Blood sugar is the biggest cause of waking up in the middle of night and not being able to go back to sleep but it can be secondary to the thyroid. So let's see thyroid let's see. Inward trembling, insomnia, night sweats. It has a profound thyroid when its major function, its main function. It has a profound effect on estrogen and testosterone and progesterone. And so it can affect your hormones and cause night's sweats in men as well as women by the way. I think some of the more outward visual signs that are more obvious that tend to really really get people's attention is their thyroid. If their thyroid starts swelling and then it goes down it swells and then it goes down. Those are signs of a hyperthyroid Hashimoto's flare up. And that's actually an acute unstable Hashimoto's thyroiditis. And when one of those cases comes in here, one of my decisions is do I just go after that first and throw a bunch of stuff there, that's gonna get that down. So the patient can be a little calmer and not be so worried or do you go after all of the things that are causing those triggers and just wait on giving the person a bunch of supplements that calm down the inflammation. So, but either way, if that is an acute inflammatory response. http://powerhealthtalk.com Martin P.

These are the 6 stages of Hashimoto's thyroiditis that every patient with Hashi's will go through. There are no fewer than 6 stages of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and where you fit on these stages matters because it impacts what type of therapies and treatments will work best for you. Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease characterized by self-destruction of the thyroid gland by the immune system. This destruction takes place over decades but there may be ways to slow or stop the destruction if it's caught early enough. Each person with Hashimoto's thyroiditis will process through certain stages. These stages proceed in every patient with Hashimoto's as the disease gets worse and as more and more damage accumulates. Learn more about these stages, what they mean for you, what happens to your lab tests at each stage, and how these stages impact treatment options available to you. As you go through these stages try to find out where you fit and share your comments/questions below!

The best doctor to see if you have Hashimoto's thyroiditis. It's not what you think... Why does it matter what type of doctor you see if you have Hashimoto's thyroiditis? Well, if you have this condition then you've probably already realized something very important... Standard doctors are just not very interested in treating the underlying CAUSE of Hashimoto's and they are all too fine with allowing your own body to destroy your thyroid gland in what they refer to as the "sit and wait" approach. If this doesn't sit well with you then you are in the right place. Today I am going to talk about your BEST options if you have Hashimoto's including the best doctors to help you feel better and reverse your condition. These doctors are NOT the typical doctors you might think of like endocrinologists and family practice doctors. Watch the video to find out how to get the best treatment for your condition.

For more information on this topic or to schedule a consultation please visit us at http://WhatIsHashimotos.com Presentations I do on Hashimoto's are done from questions. And the question was what are Hashimoto's thyroiditis Symptoms? Hashimoto's is primarily an autoimmune problem, but it shows up first as a hypothyroid case because over a period of time, you have a thyroid that has started to get attacked by your immune system. And in the beginning, when you get this attack, you may only get symptoms from the hypo thyroid aspect of this. And what that means is, that as you attack the thyroid, the initial response is you start to lose thyroid tissue, and that causes you to make less thyroid hormone. So normally in the beginning, you'll get fatigue, you'll get tired, you'll usually start putting on weight, you haven't changed your diet, you haven't stopped exercising. You know, your routine is pretty much the same but all of a sudden you start putting on weight. Some people gradually, some people not so gradually. Hair will start falling out to varying degrees. Hashimoto's, the hypothyroid aspect of Hashimoto's slows everything down, so it can slow down your intestines. It can slow down your stomach, so you can start getting stomach acid. You could get GERD because you don't have enough hydrochloric acid in your stomach cause the thyroid is slowing it down, so you can get acid indigestion, you can get gas, bloating. The most common gastrointestinal symptom that you'll get will be constipation, because it has to do with helping your nervous system to ultimately make the bowels move. So everything slows down your bowels move down. One of the most common causes, constipation is hyperthyroid. So you'll get those, swelling around the ankles is another one. Dry skin, normally the dry skin is usually on the shins of the ankles. Sometimes you'll get myxedema of the face, we've gotten questions about why I get puffiness in the face. So basically everything slows down. You're not clearing, your liver is not clearing, your lymph glands aren't clearing so you're starting to get puffiness. And then as the attack keeps taking place and more and more tissue goes, but as the attack keeps taking place more and more, then you start activating, these enzymes more that create the thyroid hormone. And during the attacks you will get usually intermittently, you'll get I think the big one is kind of anxiety intermittently for no reason at all. Anxiety happens. You're getting too much thyroid hormone during the attacks and it creates a situation that sets off a stress response in your brain. Insomnia, you can get insomnia, you can get inward tremors. Hashimoto's thyroiditis has an affinity to also create an attack on something called your cerebellum. That's called molecular mimicry. A lot of times, these two things will get attacked at the same time, the thyroid and the cerebellum. And so you might get inward tremors for no reason at all, night sweats. You can get night sweats from some indirect function of the thyroid effecting your estrogen hormone balances. So anxiety and inward tremors, panic attacks. You can get panic attacks in extreme cases and insomnia, night sweats. For some of you who are like the 20% that, thin Hashimoto's patient. http://powerhealthtalk.com http://powerhealthreno.com Martin P.

For more information on this topic or to schedule a consultation please visit us at http://WhatIsHashimotos.com We're beginning a new topic here in our presentations that we've been putting on for the last seven or eight or nine years. Our new way of presenting data, we're going to start presenting one condition a month and we're going to address that condition every day for that month. We're going to give you nuances of that condition. That condition that we're going to start with in April is, that we're doing this April, right now, is what is Hashimoto's? And Hashimoto's is going to be the subject this month. Then another month we might talk about fibromyalgia, another month we might talk about chronic fatigue. So, there's so many aspects to these conditions that it's hard for me when somebody writes me and says, "What's Hashimoto's?" I can talk for, well, you can go look at our Hashimoto's No BS Series, and that's over an hour long and we had to cut that down. So, what is Hashimoto's? And we're going to hit a little nuance each and every day. So, for those of you with Hashimoto's this should be like uber interesting and informative, because I've been doing Hashimoto's for a long time. I studied with a doctor that actually kind of figured out Hashimoto's was what's causing most thyroid problems, and I've been very blessed that way. And if there's a question you got about it, usually I can answer it. So, let's start answering them. We'll start with what is Hashimoto's? So, I'm going to keep this short because we're going to talk about this for another 29 days. Okay? But Hashimoto's is very complex. It is just so complex. When we started out it was, okay, it's an immune attack against the thyroid. Okay? And that's clear enough. Your immune system starts attacking your thyroid and you get Hashimoto's. So, technically it's an autoimmune problem. They call it Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Itis means inflammation. Okay? So, there's inflammation against the thyroid because the immune system is attacking, and there's so many nuances. We're going to talk about why you've been told that your lab tests are normal. A lot of people know that now, but a lot of you still don't. I had a nurse in here yesterday that kind of was a little bit unaware of the fact that it's mind numbingly misdiagnosed. It's frequently not looked for. The numbers in different labs are different. There is silent Hashimoto's, there is reactive Hashimoto's, there is full blown Hashimoto's, there are nuances of it all over the place. There are herbs and botanicals for it. Some people want to know, can I get off the medication? We'll answer that question. Medications are a big, big question I get a lot. Hashimoto's is related to so many other things. It's related to autoimmune attacks against your cerebellum where you get dizziness and vertigo imbalance at the same time and you're going like, "What the heck do I have that for?" And you don't realize that they're connected. It's related to gut problems, specifically related to celiac. It's related to autoimmune gastritis. For those of you who have difficulty having a child, it's related to polycystic ovarian syndrome and more. If you have rheumatoid arthritis, there's such and such a chance that you're going to have Hashimoto's. So, we're going to talk about those things. We're going to talk about what is the actual attack for Hashimoto's and the fact that the initial attack should not be herbs and botanicals, or drugs for that matter. http://powerhealthtalk.com http://powerhealthreno.com

Today's Anonymous Infertility Warrior goes by Sarah. She was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, endometriosis, genetic defect causing blood clotting issues, and risk for miscarriage. Sarah states that the purpose of her trying to conceive Instagram account is to let veterans and their partners know about what fertility services/benefits the VA offers and other programs and grants that are out there. She is passionate about bringing awareness to current issues and alternative ways for LGBTIA+ veterans to create their families. Sarah says the main reason she keeps her Instagram account anonymous is because of her immediate family being non-supportive of ART(assisted reproductive treatment). However, she still feels the need to reach out to the veterans dealing with infertility and know they have options and are not alone. Sarah also suffers from PTSD due to military service. Sarah spent 8 years in the air force, medically retired due to a traumatic ankle injury and PTSD; deployed to Iraq for OIF, got out of the military in 2010. She met her husband in 2012, married in 2016, took three years to have their firstborn.

Ten years ago, Sarah Hayes, co-founder of OptimizeYou, was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an autoimmune disease affecting the thyroid. She was diagnosed soon after the birth of her second child, and her physical symptoms became a massive disruption to her daily life, as she battled against fatigue, digestive upset, brain fog, irritability, in addition to many other symptoms. Hashimoto's is the leading cause of hypothyroidism in the U.S. It affects 5 out of 100 people (1-2% of the population), and is 8 times more likely to affect women than men.* Sarah had to learn how to manage her condition, and she calls it her biggest struggle, as well as her biggest motivation to understand the human body, and help others feel better in their bodies. Over the years, Sarah has worked to regain wellness and manage her symptoms. After trying countless treatments and therapies, she has forged a path towards health. She describes her solution as discovering what she needed to feel like she was thriving, giving herself permission to do it, and committing to that process. Her story is inspiring to all who have dealt with chronic or complex health issues, and instills hope about the resilience of the human body.

Having thyroid issues doesn't always mean that the thyroid is what needs to be treated. Most hypothyroidism can be attributed to the autoimmune disease called Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. In this episode, you'll find out how to support your body with nutrition and lifestyle habits that support overall health of the body and may be able to bring thyroid function back into balance. IN THIS EPISODE WE’LL COVER SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS: What role does the thyroid play in health? What are symptoms of a poorly functioning thyroid? What does immune function have to do with the thyroid? What nutrients support the thyroid? What foods should I include or avoid? What the heck is selenium? What's in the anti-inflammatory diet? What effect do environmental and endocrine disrupting chemicals have? Is the THYroid connected to the HIP bone? Why do Keith and Mary sing so much? OTHER HELPFUL NOTES: Are you a practitioner?

Hashimoto's thyroiditis is the most common cause of hypothyroidism. Despite that fact, it is dramatically under diagnosed. Research has shown us that a proper diagnosis is critical not only for symptoms management but also to slow disease progression (because it is possible!). Today we discuss how the gut microbiome and oxidative stress are involved with Hashimoto's and also explore how symptoms are unrelated to TSH. Research DiscussedThe Effect of Oxidative Stress on the Progression of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29185364/Gut Microbiota and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30294759/Thyroglobulin Antibodies are Associated with Symptom Burden in Patients with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis: A Cross-Sectional Study. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30332318/Stay in touch!Naturopathic Clinical Mentorship https://www.naturopathicmentorship.com/Advanced Women's Health website https://www.advancedwomenshealth.ca/My personal website and articles https://sarahwilsonnd.com/Finally Lose It purchase https://sarahwilsonnd.com/finallyloseitInstagram https://www.instagram.com/drsarah_nd/ Facebook https://facebook.com/sarahwilsonndLive in Ontario?
