Podcasts about how hashimoto

Multiple Sclerosis is a complex autoimmune condition that is often poorly understood and requires a great deal of expertise to treat it effectively. My guest today, Dr. Erica Rivas does exactly that in her private practice focusing on a more holistic approach to Multiple Sclerosis. We also touch on other Neurological Autoimmune conditions that can affect the brain including Hashimoto's which is often not thought of as a brain condition but rather thyroid condition. Hashimoto's can have direct effects on the nervous system and often causes symptoms in these patients.We discuss:– Her medical background and why she went into Neurology.– What is Multiple Sclerosis and how does she treat it differently from other practitioners?– What are other autoimmune conditions that can affect the brain?– Is there potential for more holistic treatment options for autoimmune brain diseases?– How Hashimoto's affects the brain.– The Biggest challenges she faces with her patient population– Some success stories of patients with her approach.Guest Intro:Dr. Erica Rivas is the medical director of the Multiple Sclerosis and Neurology Institute of Austin. She is an expert in immunological disorders that affect the central nervous system, spinal cord and brain. She completed her fellowship in Multiple Sclerosis and Neuroimmunology at the University of Southern California. She is board-certified in Neurology. She is also the recipient of an educational grant award for the Americas Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis. She has been named a top doctor in Austin.Connect with Dr. Akhter:Website: www.madinamedicine.comEmail: info@madinamedicine.comYouTube: www.youtube.com/@dromarakhterFacebook: www.facebook.com/madinamedicineaustinInstagram: www.instagram.com/dromarakhterLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dromarakhter/ TikTok: www.tiktok.com/dromarakhter Connect with Dr. RivasWebsite: https://www.msnia.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/multiplesclerosisandneurologyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_ericarivas

I am so thrilled to welcome Dr. Amie Horniman to our studio. Dr. Amie is the “thyroid fixer”. She's a woman on a mission to optimize thyroid patients around the world, not just in the United States, and give them their lives back using her proprietary transformational program, the Fix Method.  She is also the founder of the Institute for Thyroid and Hormone Optimization.

The Functional Medicine Approach To Hypothyroidism And Hashimoto’s Disease | This episode is sponsored by Athletic Greens and Rupa HealthWhile thyroid disease can occur in various forms, one of the most common is called Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, an autoimmune disease where the body attacks the thyroid gland and diminishes its ability to create precious hormones—ones that impact every cell of the body. Hashimoto’s is the leading cause of hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid) in the US, with women at much higher risk, being 7 to 8 times more likely than men to get it. Because of its autoimmune component, people with Hashimoto’s are actually at a higher risk of developing other autoimmune diseases as well. The good news is that the right diet and lifestyle choices can work wonders when it comes to treating and healing the thyroid. In this episode, Dr. Hyman sits down with Dr. George Papaicolaou to discuss the Functional Medicine approach to diagnosing and treating hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s disease. They also delve into common triggers of Hashimoto’s disease, and much more.George Papanicolaou is a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Abington Memorial Hospital. He is also an Institute for Functional Medicine Practitioner. Upon graduation from his residency he joined the Indian Health Service. He worked on the Navajo reservation for 4 years at the Chinle Comprehensive Medical Facility where he served as the Outpatient Department Coordinator. In 2000, he founded Cornerstone Family Practice in Rowley, MA. He practiced with a philosophy centered on personal relationships and treating the whole person, not just not the disease. He called that philosophy “Whole Life Wellness”. Over time as the healthcare system made it harder for patients to receive this kind of personal care Dr. Papanicolaou decided a change was needed. He began training in Functional Medicine through the Institute of Functional Medicine. In 2015, he established Cornerstone Personal Health – a practice dedicated entirely to Functional Medicine.

This week Dr. Lo talks with Izabella Wentz about a disease that currently affects 27% of Americans and most don’t even know they have it: Hashimoto disease. It’s an autoimmune thyroid condition that can go undiagnosed for the first 10 years until it’s in the advanced stages. This is an episode that should be listened to and shared with all your loved ones. Some of the things you’ll discover in this week’s podcast are: What the top symptoms of Hashimoto’s Disease are (and they’re unexpected, like panic attacks and anxiety) The most dangerous time and the events that can trigger Hashimoto’s and how to prevent it How the thyroid is an environmental sensing gland and what that means How Hashimoto’s affects your fertility What worked in as little as 1 week for 65% of Izabella’s patients with Hashimoto Also mentioned in this week’s podcast: Save 20% off anything you order at organifi.com when you enter DRLO at checkout.

I want to share a fabulous discussion that I had recently with Dr. Michael Ruscio about women's hormones and how gut bacteria can have such a tremendous effect on them! He is a functional medicine practitioner with an emphasis in gut health. He also specializes in autoimmune, thyroid, and digestive disorders. He is a wealth of knowledge and provided many great insights. Listen to our discussion on “The Hormone to Gut Connection” Key points from our interview include: Pylori - dangerous or protective? Pylori and Hashimoto's thyroid autoimmunity connection How Hashimoto's may be improved with H. Pylori treatment Hormonal changes that affect the GI tract, and solutions such as the use of chasteberry for PMS Melatonin disruption effects on Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Did you know melatonin, the hormone of sleep regulation, is anti-inflammatory and an anti-oxidant, too? How Vitamin D improves IBS, and is the "great mediator"! Stress and a causal decrease in protective GI bacteria Benefits of exercise on gut bacteria - who knew? (Just like Goldilocks, too little and too much are not good).

Magdalena talked about the significant health crisis she went through as a result of a highly stressful career in advertising. A high profile and demanding lifestyle, stressful in every way! Mentally stressful, never in the same time zone, lack of sleep, hotel, and fast food on the run. This eventually ended in complete adrenal fatigue, autoimmune conditions, estrogen dominance, and even depression. But she was able to heal herself and go into complete remission from her health issues through truly using "food as medicine". She adopted a number of key nutrition principles as well as her signature method of cooking for hormone balance. In the interview she discusses: Anchoring and her three-legged stool analogy about healing the gut and liver, and stabilizing sugar levels The importance of an elimination diet (she lives gluten, dairy, and soy-free) How eating the right foods is key to cooking for hormone balance Her "day in the life of cooking for hormone balance"... This starts with warm water with a squeeze of lemon and apple cider vinegar, and includes a PFF breakfast (Protein, Fat, and Fiber) Her weight loss secret! Quick and easy five-minute lunch and dinner selections I loved the discussion, which included her back story, coming from a communist country and living without the luxuries of life. Her family had to improvise, and she learned to improvise, too. Along with some of those stories she also shares with us the "roots" of her health problems, going back to her birth and early childhood. I encourage you to watch or listen in...I think you'll enjoy it! Oh...and after watching the video don't forget...Magdalena has a special gift for you... a free cooking workshop where you will learn much more about healing foods and preparing easy, nutritious and hormone balancing meals! About Magdalena Wszelaki Magdalena Wszelaki is the founder of Hormones Balance, a nutrition coaching practice. Her practice is dedicated to helping women rebalance their hormones with nutritional and lifestyle changes. She is a certified nutrition coach, speaker, educator, and a soon-to-be-published cookbook author. Her hormonal health journey encompassed grappling with Graves' and Hashimoto's Disease (autoimmune conditions causing thyroid failure), adrenal fatigue, depression, and estrogen dominance. Today she lives a symptoms-free awesome life and teaches women how to accomplish the same in her online programs and education.  Dr Anna Cabeca talks to Robin Nielsen about PCOS, excess androgen and the symptoms that relate to it.

In this episode of The Dr. Hedberg Show I interview Stacey Robbins!  This was a very unique interview because we didn’t focus on biochemistry, but rather how Hashimoto’s can affect your life and your relationships. Stacey Robbins (Certified Health Coach and Certified Yoga Instructor RYT200) is an award-winning Author, Speaker, and Integrated Wellness Coach. She is honored to work with senior executives in global organizations and is a trusted advisor to influential thought leaders, film producers, authors and creators who make a major impact in the world through their work. Stacey took a diagnosis with an autoimmune condition, Hashimoto’s – where the body attacks the thyroid -- and turned it into an opportunity to look behind the scenes at where she was at war with herself.  Traveling around the country for years to study and attend conferences, Stacey learned more about the mind, body, spirit connection, which allowed her to dive into the thoughts, patterns, and beliefs that were undermining her health. Her book, ‘You’re Not Crazy and You’re Not Alone: Losing the Victim, Finding Your Sense of Humor and Learning to Love Yourself through Hashimoto’s’(with a foreword by Dr. Izabella Wentz) is Stacey’s funny, honest, and soulful journey, to not only heal from the physical part of Hashimoto’s, but to address the inner work and healing that is available to every woman with Hashimoto’s. Giving back to the community is a core value as Stacey serves on the Board of Directors for Hashimoto’s Awareness, an organization that educates and empowers the Hashimoto’s community in the areas of testing, self-care, and healing.  At Hashimoto’s Awareness, she works alongside esteemed experts in the field of Thyroid health:  Dr. Izabella Wentz, Mickey Trescott, and Dana Trentini (a.k.a. Hypothyroid Mom). Stacey inspires women to live their happiest, healthiest life with Hashimoto’s and to use it as a teacher and guide to discovery as they learn to love themselves. As she says, “Hashimoto’s isn’t the end of your health, it’s the beginning of your healing.” We discussed the following topics in detail during the interview: -How Stacey got connected to Hashimoto's. -The top three messages women should know from reading Stacey’s book. -How relationships are affected with your spouse or partner, when you have an autoimmune condition. -Helpful tips for both of you to have when dealing with Hashimoto’s. -How Hashimoto’s affects being a parent. -How Stacey’s life and lifestyle changed by having Hashimoto's. I urge everyone to connect with Stacey at the following resources: You can find her at ⇒  http://www.staceyrobbins.com Her Facebook group the “Girlfriends’ Guide to Hashimoto’s” ⇒ https://www.facebook.com/groups/girlfriendsguidetohashimotos/ Stacey’s book on Amazon ⇒ You’re Not Crazy and You’re Not Alone
