For some, the path to motherhood comes with unexpected thyroid challenges—and understanding those hidden imbalances can make all the difference. In this Save My Thyroid Health Audit, Jenny shares her journey with Hashimoto's and secondary infertility, two challenges that often go hand in hand but are rarely talked about together. Despite being told her thyroid levels were “normal,” deeper testing revealed elevated antibodies and imbalances that standard panels missed. We walked through the key tests that matter (from T3 and T4) to functional medicine insights on gut health, stress, and hormone metabolism. We explore how addressing root causes, not just lab numbers—can open new possibilities for healing and conception. Tune in to learn how getting the right tests and asking the right questions can move you closer to healing.Episode Timeline: 0:00 - Episode Overview1:45 - Podcast Intro2:17 - Welcoming Jenny to the Podcast3:10 - Jenny Navigates Secondary Infertility3:24 - Initial OB Visit and TSH Concerns4:04 - Referral to a Reproductive Endocrinologist5:20 - Diagnosis: Hashimoto's and Mild Hypothyroidism6:08 - How Jenny Found Dr. Eric Osanski7:09 - Challenges with Blood Work and Thyroid Testing8:02 - The Importance of T3 and T4 in Thyroid Testing9:17 - Understanding Antibodies and Their Role in Fertility11:24 - Addressing T4 to T3 Conversion Issues12:13 - The Role of the Liver and Gut in T4 to T3 Conversion12:45 - Jenny's Frustration with Rising TPO Antibodies13:34 - The Challenge of Normalizing Antibodies13:58 - The Importance of Diet, Lifestyle, and Identifying Triggers14:22 - Have You Done Any Functional Medicine Testing?15:12 - Jenny's Experience and Interest in Functional Medicine Testing16:14 - Balancing Blood Sugar and Addressing Gut and Liver Health16:46 - Understanding Liver Function and Thyroid Medication17:36 - Minimizing Exposure to Environmental Toxins18:27 - Addressing Iron and Nutrient Deficiencies in Thyroid Health19:02 - Exploring the Role of B12 in Thyroid Health20:28 - Jenny's Focus on Sleep and Stress Management21:52 - Testing for Adrenal Health and Hormonal Imbalances23:19 - The Importance of Functional Medicine Testing for Gut and Adrenal Health24:10 - Next Steps: Diet, Stress Management, and Functional Medicine Testing25:23 - Final Words of Support for Jenny's Journey26:34 - Final Thanks for Jenny's Insights26:52 - Podcast Outro27:13 - Episode Takeaways and ConclusionMentioned in this Episode: Dr. Eric' BooksNatural Treatment Solutions for Hyperthyroidism and Graves' Disease Amazon.com: The Hyperthyroid Healing Diet: Reverse Hyperthyroidism and Graves' Disease and Save Your Thyroid Through Diet and Lifestyle Changes Hashimoto's Triggers: Eliminate Your Thyroid Symptoms By Finding And Removing Your Specific Autoimmune TriggersFree resources for your thyroid healthGet your FREE Thyroid and Immune Health Restoration Action Points Checklist at Do You Want Help Saving Your Thyroid?

Liver biochemical abnormalities are seen in 15-76% of patients with untreated thyrotoxicosis - that is, those not taking antithyroid medication. This liver dysfunction is typically related to direct injury to the liver, comorbid heart failure, and associated autoimmune conditions. The good news is that, in most cases, liver enzymes can return to normal without lasting damage to the liver.Today, I'm exploring what the research shows about liver dysfunction in those with hyperthyroidism.

Send us a textShort Summary: Thyroid biology, offering insights into its role in metabolism, development, and longevity, making it a fascinating listen for those interested in how our bodies manage energy and health across the lifespan.Guest: Diana van Heemst, PhD is a biologist at Leiden University Medical Center, specializing in gerontology and geriatrics. Her research focuses on the neuroendocrine biology of aging and longevity in humans, particularly involving thyroid functions.Note: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack and to everyone on YouTube. Partial versions are available elsewhere. Full transcript and other information on Substack.Full Summary: Dr. Diana van Heemst explores the thyroid's critical role in metabolism, growth, development, and transitions across life stages. It discusses the thyroid's evolutionary history, its location in the neck, and how it functions through hormone secretion, specifically T3 and T4. The conversation covers the importance of nutrients like iodine and selenium, the impact of thyroid hormone on various bodily functions, and the implications for health conditions like hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. It also touches on how thyroid activity might relate to longevity.Key Takeaways:Thyroid Hormones: T3 and T4 are crucial, with T3 being the active form that regulates metabolism, heart rate, and cognitive functions.Iodine and Selenium: Essential for thyroid hormone synthesis; iodine is unique to thyroid hormones, while selenium is vital for the enzymes that regulate hormone availability.Hypothyroidism vs. Hyperthyroidism: Hypothyroidism is more common, especially in older age due to autoimmune issues, leading to symptoms like fatigue and cold sensitivity. Hyperthyroidism can result from iodine excess or autoimmune conditions like Graves' disease.Developmental Role: Thyroid hormones are vital for major developmental transitions, from birth to puberty, impacting brain development and metabolic adaptation.*Not medical advice.Support the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, etc. at the M&M Substack Affiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

Endocrine diseases are prevalent in cats, and the most frequent ones are diabetes and hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism in cats is a common endocrine disorder typically seen in older felines, characterized by an overproduction of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) from an enlarged, usually benign thyroid gland. This hormone surge ramps up metabolism, leading to classic symptoms like weight loss despite an increased appetite, hyperactivity, restlessness, and a poor coat condition. Other signs may include increased thirst, vomiting, and heart murmurs or hypertension due to the cardiovascular strain. If untreated, hyperthyroidism can lead to heart disease, high blood pressure, and kidney damage. Treatment options include medication, dietary management, surgery, or radioactive iodine therapy, depending on the cat's health status and owner's preference.

Toxic multinodular goiter is a type of hyperthyroidism in which a person has a goiter in the presence of multiple thyroid nodules. In today's Save My Thyroid audit, I'm chatting with Nanette, who has been dealing with toxic multinodular goiter for over 20 years and I'll be sharing practical advice to help her improve her health. Nanette's thyroid journey began at age 16 when she had her first thyroid nodule, which was then surgically removed. Later, at age 30, she found herself in the same scenario, and she had a second surgery. Following that, she's been on and off of different thyroid medications and was eventually diagnosed with toxic multinodular goiter.While this isn't the same as the comprehensive consultations I do with patients, you'll get a lot of value from the conversation. Nanette and I discuss long-term medication use, her treatment with propylthiouracil (PTU), dietary changes, the importance of stress management, why we need to address underlying causes like insulin resistance and inflammation, my approach to testing and lifestyle modifications, and more.If you'd like to apply for an audit with me, you can do so by visiting SaveMyThyroid.com/audit.

Air hunger, also known as dyspnea, refers to shortness of breath or the feeling of not getting enough oxygen. While a thyroid hormone imbalance can be a factor in some cases, there are many other potential causes of dyspnea, including asthma, COPD, congestive heart failure, interstitial lung disease, pneumonia, and mental disorders.For those with thyroid conditions, air hunger is more commonly associated with hyperthyroidism and Graves' disease than hypothyroidism, though it may not always be the cause. Today, I'm explaining the connection between air hunger and hyperthyroidism, how it is diagnosed, the importance of addressing thyroid hormone imbalances, related conditions to consider, and the need for a comprehensive treatment approach to manage air hunger effectively.In this episode, you'll learn about:- How hyperthyroidism is potentially linked to air hunger- The physiology of respiration and the role of mitochondria in cellular respiration- How dyspnea presents and the differences between acute and chronic dyspnea- Potential causes of dyspnea- Diagnostic methods used in evaluating dyspnea- What research shows about thyroid conditions and dyspnea- Types of sleep apnea and the relationship with hyperthyroidism- Natural treatment options for dyspnea- Role of nutrients like CoQ10 and L-carnitine in supporting mitochondrial functionAs always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!To learn more, visit the show notes at https://savemythyroid.com/podcast/air-hunger-and-hyperthyroidism/.To take the Save My Thyroid Quiz visit www.savemythyroid.com/quiz Do You Want Help Saving Your Thyroid?
