In this episode Dr. Rebecca explores the interconnected nature of thyroid, adrenal, and sex hormones, especially during perimenopause and menopause.

She empowers women by discussing: what enopause is (and is not), teaches what is actually going on with hormones during this transtion, why so many women feel bad, how thyroid hormones and sex hormones are conected and more...  Her message inspires hope and wants all women to know their bodies are incredible and built to heal if given the proper support.   NEXT STEPS: - Ready to work with me?

In this podcast, we tend to place a unique emphasis on the individual journeys of thyroid patients. Each story shared is a beacon of hope, a testament to progress, and an ode to the indomitable human spirit that finds its way back to wellness. These personal narratives highlight the challenges faced, the battles fought, and the joy of reclaiming life. Every time a guest shares their story, it resonates deeply with my listeners. Many reach out, expressing how these tales mirror their own experiences, often feeling as if they were hearing their own challenges and triumphs being voiced. It's truly heartwarming to witness the ripple effect of sharing. The power of a single story can inspire, motivate, and even propel someone to take the essential steps toward their healing journey. While women predominantly face thyroid and hormone imbalances, it's crucial to recognize that these challenges know no boundaries. Whether you're a man or a woman, the central message remains unchanged: change is possible, hope is tangible, and your story could be the guiding light for someone else navigating the same path. In this episode, Sarah McFarland delves into her distinctive journey of undergoing partial thyroid removal due to a nodule and then being on T4 medication for several years. It was only after the emergence of another nodule, leading to a complete thyroidectomy, that she began grappling with weight gain, pervasive brain fog, and relentless fatigue. Determined to uncover solutions, Sarah teamed up with me. Join us as she unfolds her transformative story, detailing how meticulous food tracking became the key to her weight loss breakthrough, even post-thyroidectomy!

Did you know that taking care of your adrenal system through detoxifying your body can help turn your life around? That's right! By understanding healthy habits like eating well, staying active, practicing mindfulness, taking the right supplements, and keeping an eye on your iron levels, you can make a big difference in your battle against thyroid cancer.   Joining us is Patricia Pomareda, a dedicated family nurse practitioner specializing in integrative medicine with a diverse background in geriatrics, urgent care, women's health, and primary care. She is a visionary; consistently advocating for her patients and deriving immense satisfaction from assisting them to attain optimal health and prevent chronic afflictions.   Following her diagnosis of thyroid cancer in June 2020, Patricia felt lost and fearful while undergoing treatment. Although she anticipated her life returning to normal, she quickly realized there would be a new normal to adjust to. "I was taking my supplements, I was eating, I was doing everything right on time. But when I went to go do my blood work. My ferritin was below range. It was super low. And so I knew because I was having all the symptoms of iron deficiency, this unreal fatigue. This is not the only thing but was a major driver for my source of fatigue. So I was just kind of piecing things together, like what would I do as a provider for myself?"   In this episode, join Patricia as she shares her journey with thyroid cancer and how it has impacted her approach to practicing medicine. She also explores her mission to promote public awareness of thyroid health and resilience through her clinic, The Integrative NP.

She is a member of the Institute for Functional Medicine and is board-certified through the American Association of Nurse Practitioners.   In July of 2020 Patricia was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.  She had a thyroidectomy and subsequent treatment.  As a provider on the receiving end of treatment, she was lost and afraid. She was told that her life would go back to normal and learned very quickly that there would be a new normal.  Her cancer journey has shaped the way she practices medicine and she has made it her mission to promote thyroid awareness and thyroid resilience in her community through her practice, The Integrative NP.   "Eating right, exercising, and setting up mindfulness habits (...) never ends, even when you're an adult. If we know what we have to do, we're able to get up faster and establish resilience."   - Patricia Pomerada Learn more about Patricia Pomareda here: www.theintegrativenp.com Her thyroid checklists:  https://www.theintegrativenp.com/s-projects-side-by-side  www.instagram.com/theintegrativenp www.facebook.com/theintegrativenp    Additional references about the topic: Thyroid cancer rate graph source SEER: https://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/thyro.html Worldwide thyroid cancer estimates: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/landia/article/PIIS2213-8587(22)00035-3/fulltext    Did you find this episode helpful?

On this episode, we continue with part 2 of thyroidectomy, this time, connecting the dots with weight loss resistance. One of the most important things we talked about is remembering that the body's systems still work together (even without a thyroid!)  and we need to always be looking at the bigger picture to connect the dots as to why there is weight loss resistance in this population.

Answering 3 listener questions:  Do I still have Hashimoto's after thyroidectomy? Does Hashimoto's cause thyroid cancer? Is Hashimoto's information useful if I have a different autoimmune disease?   AKA: “Does this podcast apply to me?” The answer to that is YES. Empower yourself with information so that you can be in control of your healthcare and your own path forward.

For more information on this topic or to schedule a consultation please visit us at http://WhatIsHashimotos.com Hashimoto's treatment after thyroidectomy. Like anything else with the human body, nothing is as straightforward as you'd like it to be. So the theory is, and again, it depends on why you had your thyroid taken out. Did you have your thyroid taken out because you have Graves' disease? Did you have your thyroid taken out because you have Hashimoto's? Did you have it completely taken out or partially taken out? I'm assuming this question refers to completely taken out. And did you have it out because you had cancer? Okay. So basically let's go to Hashimoto's and Graves', and Graves' is a very small part of the population, so I'm going to talk mostly about Hashimoto's. So when you have your thyroid out, and I've watched some thyroid surgeries years ago and asked some questions, and it seems like a lot of times they just take out maybe part of the thyroid in cancer. But in Hashimoto's and in Graves', they're usually going to take the whole thing out. And so the theory is because of where the medical model is at this point in time in 2022, okay, they're still not addressing Hashimoto's as an autoimmune problem. They're still addressing it as a thyroid problem, which leads to the theory of I'm going to take it out and I'm going to be able to control your thyroid hormone levels by giving you the right thyroid medication. And that alone is a crapshoot, figuring out what is the right thyroid medication for that particular person. That's a whole other subject that I have a presentation on online. And so it gets a little complex because of their model. All right? So two things. One thing is they don't always get all the thyroid tissue out, and it's attached to certain structures where it can alter things if you mess up. And the other thing is they're treating it as though it's a thyroid problem and not an autoimmune problem. So if you're still not aware that there's 40 triggers or more now, and I know I've got one online that says 39, but there's more since then. So if you're not aware of that and you're not removing those triggers, those triggers are still there. Very seldom does a Hashimoto's patient have one autoimmune problem. They usually have Hashimoto's and autoimmune gastritis or Hashimoto's and arthritis or they have Hashimoto's and cerebellar antibodies and on and on and on and on and on. So in several different ways, the immune response is still a problem. And if you have thyroid tissue that is still remaining, you will have thyroid tissue that is still getting attacked. And have I had these patients come in? Oh, my God, probably a couple hundred over the period of time I've been doing this. And so, I mean, it's something I've seen a lot. And they respond well to treatment, because when you have an autoimmune problem http://powerhealthtalk.com http://drmartinrutherford.com Martin P.

On this special episode I interview Dr. Stephen Wilson, PharmD from Solutions Pharmacy to talk about Low Dose Naltrexone. This is a medication that works to help balance the immune system and in turn help with problems related to inflammation. There are those that this medication helps tremendously and have reported improvements with things like pain, a decrease in thyroid dosage, helping with long haul COVID, decreasing thyroid antibodies just to name a few things. We cover: What is it? How does it work? What are some things that it can help with? How can it help specifically with thyroid disorders or post thyroidectomy? Why don't many doctors work with it? Any side effects? How long does it take to work? How to ask you doctor for LDN? Resources from the Show: Solutions Pharmacy LDN Research Trust Want to take your health to the next level?

This is for all those people that are living without a thyroid. I remember being so frustrated that most of the content about getting well never featured information for someone like, someone who was trying to heal post thyroidectomy. I decided to do a special Q&A from people that have experienced a thyroidectomy. I hope this helps you in your healing journey! Question in today's episode: After 25 years on levothyroxine and remaining mostly stable after RAI, why would my numbers just tank? I had to increase my dose by a huge amount. My endocrinologist tested me for everything under the sun. Nothing came up. Should doctors test your adrenal/cortisol? I've never had this done but wonder if I should. How, if at all, does pregnancy and childbearing differ when you don't have a thyroid? Just hoping to have a better understanding of what to expect when the time comes. Are there any differences between treatments in USA vs. other countries? What is this talk about the hormone T2 ? Supposedly it can help with weight loss and have no negative affect on T4 or T3.

What began as a routine physical for Kelley Pratt turned into a diagnosis of medullary thyroid cancer, a rare form of the disease. As if that wasn't bad enough, it was determined the cancer had metastasized to her chest. However, Kelley was in the hands of an outstanding care team and she has been in survivorship since 2004. This is the story of all she overcame.

Like so many working in thyroid health, Jules Chandler's passion to help thyroid patients comes from her own journey from Graves Disease patient to practitioner.14 years ago Jules was diagnosed with 'hyperactive thyroid', put on medication for 18 months and told they would then 'see what happens'.This began a long and windy road to thyroid health recovery for Jules.Along Jules journey, she studied naturopathic nutrition and became known amongst her fellow students as 'the thyroid expert'.  She has founded The Thyroid Collective - her thyroid 'army' of practitioners on a mission to help thyroid patients across the UK and beyond.In our conversation about her thyroid journey we cover topics including:What lead to her hyper/Graves diagnosis.Her complicated treatment path - this is a key difference between hypo and hyper thyroid - the treatment is very different.Anti-thyroid medication."Caging' her thyroid (a 'fighty, wiley little devil')Thyroidectomy.The path from hyper to very hypo to 'normal' then RELAPSE.The impact of gluten.Thyroid eye disease (another Graves' difference).How to prepare for an endocrinologist appointmentThe impact an 'empowered and engaged patient' can make.The importance of gathering with other thyroid patients from time to time - you are NOT alone.Thank you Jules for all you do to serve the thyroid population across the globe.

Hey friends! Welcome back to That's So Chronic and our first interview episode of 2022!! Today's episode is with Corianne Holmes, who you might recognise from @southislandtinyhouse, and we are chatting about all things thyroid. In this episode Cori explains the process of receiving a diagnosis of hyperthyroidism back in the United States when she was just 10 years old, and how that eventually turned into a diagnosis of hypothyroidism, why she opted for the partial thyroidectomy surgery, and she also talks us through the process of moving her medical care from the states to New Zealand, and I nerd out a little bit over that. Even though cov got in the way of us meeting and chatting in person like we had originally planned, I was excited to chat to Cori on take 2 and I just know you're going to enjoy this episode too.

Later, a vocal cord implant was inserted to help him speak. All the above, the result of a bad thyroid surgery that dampened his quality of life — and left him wondering, what exactly happened — during what should be a low-risk surgery? His attempts to follow up with UCLA and the UCLA surgeon were ignored.

This week, the most high-yield topic is hyper and hypothyroidism. You’ll see a lot of your test questions coming from this subject.I’m gonna talk about hyperthyroidism first, and then I’ll cover hypothyroidism.So, What is hyperthyroidism? It’s when your body makes too much of the thyroid hormones T3 and T4. I’m not sure how much of the A&P you remember from forever ago, so to review how T3 & T4 are made, your hypothalamus in your brain releases Thyroid Releasing Hormone; this makes the Pituitary gland release TSH, or Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, and that makes the thyroid, the little butterfly-shaped gland on your neck, produce T3 and T4.In both hyper and hypothyroidism, the main causes are autoimmune disorders. The autoimmune disorder that causes hyperthyroidism is called Graves disease. With Graves disease, the patient will have a goiter, or an enlarged thyroid gland, that’s sometimes so big, you can see it from the door of their room. They’ll also have the characteristic bulging eyes, or exophthalmos. This will also be very noticeable, cause it’ll look like they are staring at you in a creepy way, and their eyes are protruding out of the sockets. Usually, our upper eyelids cover the top half of our iris. But in a patient with exophthalmos, you’ll be able to see the white of their eyeball above their iris, below their upper eyelid. So, if the patient has green eyes, you’d be able to see some white between the green and their upper eyelid. Sometimes the exophthalmos will be so bad that they can’t even close their eyelids all the way.Hypothyroidism is when the thyroid gland doesn’t make enough T3 and T4. So just the opposite of hyperthyroidism. The most common cause is the autoimmune disorder, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. I remember that Hashimoto’s causes hypothyroidism like hypO, HashimOto. Hashimotos is when your body makes antibodies that destroy your thyroid gland, which decreases T3 and T4. This causes the gland to grow bigger to compensate, which creates a goiter. So you can have a goiter with both hyper and hypothyroidism. Another cause of hypothyroidism is simply not getting enough iodine in your diet, but this isn’t an issue here in the US, because we put iodine into our salt. Also, if someone is getting treated for hyperthyroidism, like they get a thyroidectomy, or radioactive iodine ablation, those can both overcorrect to lead to hypothyroidism. Even if they are just taking antithyroid medication, and they take too much.

For more information on this topic or to schedule a consultation please visit us at http://WhatIsHashimotos.com The question is, will thyroidectomies cure Hashimoto's? The answer is no. Why do we do thyroidectomies? We're going to be talking about that tomorrow. But a thyroidectomy takes your thyroid out. The problem is that the thyroidectomy doesn't address the root cause of the problem. The root cause of the problem is an overactive immune response. It's an autoimmune problem. That's really the root cause of the problem. The thyroidectomy in this particular light usually occurs when you have driven your endocrinologist batty because they can't find a drug that works for you, and you're still having a significant number of symptoms. What I'm seeing today in the thyroid world is the doctors have now diagnosed you with Hashimoto's. They've tried all kinds of medications, none of them have worked. So it's like, "Let's just take it out, or radiate it." By the way, this could also go along with, does radiation a cure? And the answer is no. Not only does it not cure it, their position is, "We'll take it out. We'll take it out and we'll give you enough thyroid hormone. We'll fine tune it just right so that it works," which the vast majority of time it doesn't. You got number one, you have somebody who's giving you exogenous hormones. They're giving you levothyroxine or Synthroid, or maybe one of the natural ones, but still it's very difficult to dose that properly, number one. Number two, it is very frequent that because of the positioning of the thyroid, it isn't taken out completely. And so if you still have thyroid tissue there and the tissue was getting attacked before you got the surgery, you're still going to be getting thyroid attacks from the immune system after the surgery, and you're still going to end up putting out intermittently excessive amounts of T4. Not as much as if you had your whole thyroid but it's still there. It's still confusing. It's still not allowing that person to maybe dose your thyroid that they're going to give you the way that they think they're going to dose it. I think one day they're going to figure this out. But for right now there's a lot of thyroids coming out. There's a lot thyroids coming out. I'm amazed at how many people put up their hand and go, "No, give me radiation. Radiate me." And that's crazy. They walk into the room with a hazmat suit on and then they tell you don't go near anybody for the next several weeks or whatever it is. That's something that I would avoid. But it will not cure it. And there's another aspect to this too. Let's just even theorize that they got it all out and let's theorize that they could somehow figure out the absolute perfect dosing of the exact proper medication for you, which is no small task if can even be done. http://powerhealthtalk.com http://powerhealthreno.com Martin P.

October is Pregnancy, Infant and Child Loss Awareness Month.  All month long we will honor our babies gone to heaven far too soon.  This month is special because you get to hear from our Sisters in Loss Birth, Bereavement and Postpartum Doulas!  Yes, you get to hear the ladies share their testimonies and stories to motherhood and why they became Sisters in Loss doulas and how they liked the course.  Have you heard of the term Goiter? A goiter (GOI-tur) is an abnormal enlargement of your thyroid gland. Your thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of your neck just below your Adam's apple. Although goiters are usually painless, a large goiter can cause a cough and make it difficult for you to swallow or breathe. Today’s guest thought she was showing signs of early menopause and doctors found a goiter on her thyroid and questioned her fertility.  Shanicka Vail House stepped out on faith and created onesies as a confession of her faith that God will bless her womb.  She had one girl then two years later was blessed with another girl.  Then as the world began to shut down she experienced a miscarriage at home with extreme blood loss resulting in a blood transfusion. In this episode, Shanicka takes us back on her personal thyroid journey, miscarrying at home that resulted in a blood transfusion, and how she is surviving pregnancy loss with her faith in God and becoming a Sisters in Loss Birth & Bereavement Doula. This episode is for you to listen to if you have ever experienced a miscarriage and delivered at home, and want to know how to turn your pain into purpose by enrolling in the Sisters in Loss Birth and Bereavement Doula course.  www.sistersinloss.com/doulatraining Become a Sisters in Loss Birth and Bereavement Doula Here Living Water Doula Services Book Recommendations and Links Below You can shop my Amazon Store for the Book Recommendations You can follow Sisters in Loss on Social Join the Sisters in Loss Online Community Sisters in Loss Instagram Sisters in Loss Facebook Sisters in Loss Twitter You can follow Erica on Social Erica’s Website Erica’s Instagram Erica’s Facebook Erica’s Twitter  

Do you let kids come to the hospital to see your loved one after surgery? That’s a loaded question. These are the types of decision you have to make that completely suck! There isn’t one right answer and it’s not the type of question your doctor would be able to help you out with because it’s a personal decision. You probably don’t have a lot of other caregivers to give you their ideas and maybe don’t have access to family members that can help without making you feel bad about it.  Listen to today’s episode #11 and listen to see if we decided to let our daughter visit the hospital and how we, as caregivers, really need to support each other in a way that we can feel safe to ask for advice.  Find me at www.charlottebayala.com and join our FB group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/612474642869329/

If you have had your thyroid removed with a thyroidectomy then there are 5 VERY important things that YOU should know! Once your thyroid is removed your body is changed forever and if you don't understand what that means for you then you may end up feeling poorly or symptomatic for a long time. This information ALSO applies to those people who have had their thyroid damaged from radioactive iodine ablation (by the way) and also those people who have had only HALF of their thyroid removed through something called a hemithyroidectomy. Here are 5 things to know if your thyroid has been removed: #1. You are now HYPOTHYROID. It doesn't matter WHY your thyroid was removed but once it has been removed you are now effectively and functionally HYPOTHYROID. This means that ALL of the information I talk about (directed at hypothyroidism) also applies to YOU! #2. T4 isn't enough by itself for you. Medical research has shown that T4 (such as Synthroid or levothyroxine) is not enough to NORMALIZE thyroid function in people who have had their thyroid removed. #3. You will probably gain weight and weight loss will be very difficult. On average, people who have had their thyroid removed gain 20 pounds. In addition, weight loss is more difficult afterward. #4. Thyroid supplements CAN and should be used. There is still a place for thyroid supplements (which can be helpful) whether you have a thyroid or not! #5. You will be on medication for LIFE. Once your thyroid is removed you will be on thyroid medication for the rest of your life! The only exception is if you've had half of your thyroid removed (it isn't always necessary in this case).

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Laura: Hello Dr. Cabral, I'm hoping you can help me. I get this lip rash every now and then, starting in 2016. Each time I was told it was contact dermatitis and given predisone, and I was fine. Since then, I've been very careful of what I put on my face. It would still flare up minimally in 2017, so I as prescribed Desonide cream, which I don't like putting on my lips. I have also been using hydrocoristone ointment as a lip balm since 2016, but not in the past few months. 2 weeks ago, this rash flared up badly again, and I refuse to take any sort of medication, or any topical steroids, as I want to get over it naturally. It's been going on for 2 weeks and I'm at a loss. I had a allergy patch testing done - no results. I am vegan (since 2017) and gluten free (since 2017). I don't eat refined sugar and I'm heavily plant based. My lips are incredibly itchy, almost unbearably, several times during the day. I think it starts overnight/in the morning, I always know it's going to be bad when I wake up with swollen lips. I haven't changed anything in months (skincare, detergent, etc., and everything I use is natural) so I'm pretty sure it's not a contact allergy. They're itchy and dry constantly, so much so that it's hard to eat, because they itch when anything, even food, touches them. The only thing that's been different in my life the last 2 weeks is that I've been taking it really easy in my daily Bikram yoga practice due to a shoulder overuse injury (nothing serious, but I've been unable to do the normal backbending, chest/neck stretching postures I normally do). But it definitely starts with the swollen lips in the morning, and sometimes I notice it in the middle of the night. It's not my pillowcase or laundry detergent. What could be causing my lips to swell overnight? Ashley: Hi Dr.Cabral, I have taken the OAT test twice and I've been working with a naturopath for the past year trying to get rid of all of my bacteria imbalances. I have overgrowths of Furan-2,5-dicarboxylic (27), Arabinose (79), Tricarballylic (.56), Hippuric (884), 4-Hydrobenzoic (2.7), DHPPA (1.1) and 4-Cresol (76). I feel like they're almost gone and I would like to do your 21 day detox to clean out my blood and reset my hormones and I'd also like to do the intestinal cleanse and the gut protocol. What order do I need to do these in for best results? Can I do them all at once? How long will it take to seal my gut back up? Do I need to stay on a diet without any coffee, alcohol, dairy, grains, beans and seeds for 6 months (am I allowed to stray from this at all?) I already follow a mostly plant based diet with smoothies in the morning, vegetarian lunches and at dinner i usually have high quality fish or meat with lots of veggies but I do love my pizza and wine once in a while. I am so excited to get started and can't wait to hear what you have to say! Thank you so much for everything you do, I love listening to all of your advice. Elizabeth: I’m wondering if you’ve ever worked with people that do not have a thyroid. Mine was removed because of uncontrollable hyperthyroidism, and after removal it was found I had thyroid cancer. If you have addressed this in a podcast, can you direct me to the one I should listen to? Pamela: Do you deal with anyone MTHFR positive both Gene copies of a1298c & c677t, who has Lyme disease and autistic? Any protocols to assist with detox, methalatukn, & focus, concentration. My son's diet is preserative free, corn free, gluten free, no HFCS, no dyes, & low sugar. Use of hemp & CBD oil & also colloidal silver. Some use of an infrad red sauna Tara: Hi Dr Cabral! My friend was diagnosed with Interstitial cystitis several years ago. She was told to eliminate acidic foods, which helped, and she regularly was seeing a naturopath who put her on a strict diet. She’s also having up to about 20 different naturopathic pills a day, and although she has seen improvement in the past few years, her symptoms seem to be recently returning. I was hoping you could recommend certain lab tests, or she’d light on what could be a root cause of this. It’s not something that runs in her family. Thank you! Ida: Hi! I will buy your book and starting 21-day seasonal detox. Is it possible to follow your detox plan with local food products and supplements? Do you give any alternative recommendations in the plan? I live in Finland and we have great functional medicine supplements and nutrient powders but I just wonder if the plan is stictly based on your products. You are one of my biggest inspirations and teachers in my way to functional medicine nutritionist! Love, Ida Imogene: Hi Dr Cabral. I'm so thankful to have discovered you - thank you for all you have done for me so far, I love soaking up your knowledge i am now considering a future as a wellness coach! I'm 27, 62 kilos, 165cms and a trainee clinical pilates instructor (English living in Perth Australia). I was diagnosed with Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis almost 1 year ago after trying for a baby for a year prior, and have this year undergone fertility treatment (2 x ICSI cycles -as my husband has 26% fragmented DNA in his sperm + 3 months of Zolodex) I'm now on a contraceptive pill with no breaks until we can (afford to) go ahead with embryo transfers (we have 4 day 5 blastocysts in the freezer). Prior to this diagnosis, I always had regular periods, however I have spent a good 10 years of my life on a contraceptive pill which help to mask the symptoms of Endo. After trying for a while my hormones were tested on day 21 and the GP said my results were normal. This lead to a hycosy which showed I had clear fallopian tubes, which lead to an MRI that eventually showed i have DI Endo and involvement in the bowel. I was told by the first specialist to have surgery to have it all removed and I'd also need prt of my bowel removed. I saw a second professor who gave an alternate option without surgery for now. I have had acne skin problems forever and am realising a link between poor gut health and digestion issues and believe this is all linked to the fertility issues we've been having. I have always been a very bloated person with poor digestion and tummy issues (constipation, stomach sensitivity, cramping etc). I had a lot of antibiotics as a child and prolonged periods of antibiotics for skin treatment in my teens, recurrent tonsilitis and glandular fever and was always the sick kid. I also suffer from what I believe to be Myofascial Pain syndrome following an accident I had in 2015 which I have since treated with massage, regular physio dry needling (twice weekly) and clinical pilates every day. It affects my quality of life and ability to work. I went vegan at the start of the year and initially felt great but recently i feel so fatigued and flat and need to nap during the day and struggle to get out of bed before 9am - It's been hard to know if it's been the diet, or the medication I have been taking for fertility treatment but I don't feel like I'm thriving despite my healthy diet and want my body in a great place for when we go ahead with the transfers. I recently saw a naturopath and have gone ahead with a bacteria/culture test (stool) and a Ubiome gut test which I'm yet to get the results - but upon listening to your podcasts I'm not sure this is comprehensive enough for me to really be informed moving forward. What would you recommend I do to move forward? My goals are to reduce or eliminate my chronic pain, fall pregnant and feel energised. I know your big on testing and data so we can make informed decisions but I'm not sure which other tests are necessary for me. My naturopath put me on gluten free diet for my endo and curcumin tablets to reduce inflammation. I also take folic acid, Wellco super elixir green powder, wellco chocolate protein powder, the beauty chef glow powder and collagen tonic and their sleep powder. I have berries, hemp hearts, flax seeds, chia seeds, coconut oil, raspberries, blueberries, bananas, greens and generally a wide variety of nuts, seeds, pulses, vegetables and fruits in my diet. I'm also eliminating chemicals and toxins where possible, shop at the local farmers market, cleared all chemicals from my house, reducing plastics, use organic deodorant, toothpaste you name it! I think my body is just not absorbing the goodness I'm putting in! Please help. Cheryl: I was thinking about ordering the daily protocol and had a question. My daughter has had problems in the past with taking multi vitamins. Her knee’s, elbows and thighs turn bright red and it takes a few hours to go away after taking a Benadryl. Would it be safe her to take all the item in the protocol? She is 20 years old and only weights around 100 lbs Thank you Michael: Hi Stephen, I have been diagnosed with achalasia type I. I am now waiting to get surgery. P.O.E.M surgery actually. I heard your podcast with Ben Greenfield and figured I'd contact you to see what you might be able to recommend if anything at all. Do you do skype consultations for example?

This video is all about why thyroidectomy patients need T3 thyroid medication. Thyroidectomy is a procedure in which your thyroid gland is completely removed. After you undergo this procedure you will be required to take thyroid medication for life. One problem that thyroidectomy patients face is persistent symptoms such as weight gain, brain fog, constipation, and fatigue after their procedure and even after taking thyroid medication. In this video, I highlight the importance of taking thyroid medication in this subgroup of patients and why the standard approach of using levothyroxine is not sufficient. There are new studies which show that approximately up to 20% of patients who don't have their thyroid is not able to achieve normal free T3 or free T4 levels by taking thyroid medication alone. And this makes sense considering that we know the thyroid produces both T4 and T3 when it is working. So why then do we only provide the body with T4 medication after it has been removed? Doctors believe that giving the body T4 is sufficient because they feel that the body will be able to activate T4 on its own. This study shows that this may not be the case for roughly 1 in 5 thyroidectomy patients. The net result is that you may need to take T3 medication in addition to your T4 medication if you want to normalize thyroid function.

This video is all thyroid cancer treatments including what treatments are available if you have thyroid cancer, the consequences of these therapies on your life, and we'll also discuss some important factors which help determine your prognosis. It's important to realize, though, that the majority of thyroid cancer cases are caused by the least aggressive form of thyroid cancer. This, combined with the fact that the most common therapy to treat thyroid cancer is the removal of the thyroid gland has helped increase the 5-year survival rate of thyroid cancer to around 97 to 98%. When it comes to thyroid cancer you may not have a choice as to which therapy is ideal for you, but it still helps to understand each treatment and how it impacts your body. Treatment options available for thyroid cancer include: #1. Surgery: - By surgery, I am referring to a procedure known as a complete thyroidectomy. This surgery results in the entire removal of your thyroid gland (well close to the entire amount) and it is the most common treatment for thyroid cancer. Removing your thyroid, though, can sometimes cause side effects afterward such as weight gain or fatigue if you are not dosed appropriately. #2. Radioactive iodine ablation: - Radioactive iodine is sometimes combined with a thyroidectomy to help kill off any tissue which is left over after your surgery. Radioactive iodine is a procedure which specifically targets and destroys thyroid gland tissue. It's helpful to use in conjunction with surgery because sometimes thyroid gland tissue can exist outside of the normal anatomy. Using RAI can help kill off extra tissue especially if cancer has spread. #3. Chemotherapy and radiation: - Chemotherapy isn't used very often for thyroid cancer because most cancers can be treated with surgery and with RAI. But, some cases of aggressive thyroid cancer may require the use of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. #4. TSH Suppression: - Lastly, another technique used to treat thyroid cancer is the use of TSH suppressive therapy. The goal here is to take high enough doses of thyroid hormone to suppress the natural production of TSH or thyroid stimulating hormone. This hormone is stimulating to thyroid gland tissue and can theoretically stimulate thyroid cancer cells as well. You can suppress the normal production of TSH by taking high doses of thyroid medication and this is sometimes used for patients after surgery. Each person is different so the exact treatments that you need for your cancer will depend on the type of cancer you have, how aggressive it is, the stage at which it was diagnosed, your age and other important factors.

Today is lesson #12 and it's all about what causes thyroid disease. Why does it matter what causes thyroid disease? If you can find the cause you can better target your treatment. Most doctors are only concerned with lab tests and not the causes of those problems, which means you may be unnecessarily treated for something that could be reversible. Thyroid Dysfunction vs Hypothyroidism: What's the difference? Thyroid dysfunction = thyroid hormone is not working properly at the cellular level but your body can still produce it. These are the top causes of thyroid dysfunction (remember they may be reversible): #1. Obesity - Just being overweight is enough to put strain on your thyroid (even as little as 10 pounds) #2. Calorie restriction or diets - as little as 1,200 calories per day x21 days #3. Nutrient deficiencies - Such as zinc, selenium and iodine - these are all required for your body to convert T4 into T3 #4. Insulin resistance/Leptin resistance - $5. Chronic illness & Infections - High blood pressure, chronic back pain, fibromyalgia, high cholesterol, heart disease and so on #6. Prescription medications - Beta blockers, diabetic mes, anti seizure meds, narcotics, antidepressants, heart medications and more (these are common medications!) #7. Inflammatory states - gut dysfunction, yeast or fungal overgrowth syndromes Thyroid dysfunction should be differentiated from hypothyroidism: Hypothyroidism = Your body is not producing ENOUGH thyroid hormone. The top causes of hypothyroidism include: #1. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis = probably main cause (triggers include stress, infections, gut dysfunction, etc. - see other video) #2. Treatment for hyperthyroidism - Thyroidectomy and RAI #3. Pituitary issues/hypothalamic issues - extreme stress, prolactinoma, trauma #4. Iodine deficiency #6. Pregnancy & Lactation = increased demand on thyroid hormone #7. Congenital = being born with issues How should you focus your treatment? Remember that thyroid dysfunction is usually reversible while hypothyroidism may or may not be. Both conditions may present with similar lab results (high TSH, low free t3, low free t4, high reverse T3) which can make diagnosis difficult. And both may benefit from thyroid medication (though those with thyroid dysfunction tend to only need it temporarily). Hey guys!

Antonio Bianco, MD, is the Charles Arthur Weaver Professor of Cancer Research in the Department of Internal Medicine. He is the president of Rush University Medical Group and vice dean for clinical affairs in Rush Medical College. Bianco came to Rush from the University of Miami Health System, where he served as professor of medicine and chief of the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism. He has more than 30 years of experience in the thyroid field. He has been recognized with a number of national and international awards and membership in prestigious medical societies. A well-rounded investigator in the field of thyroid disease, Bianco led two American Thyroid Association task forces: one charged with drafting guidelines for thyroid research (as chair) and another responsible for developing guidelines for the treatment of hypothyroidism (co-chair). Bianco’s research interests include the cellular and molecular physiology of the enzymes that control thyroid hormone action (the iodothyronine deiodinases). He has contributed approximately 250 papers, book chapters and review articles in this field, and has lectured extensively both nationally and internationally. Recently, he has focused on aspects of the deiodination pathway that interfere with treatment of hypothyroid patients, a disease that affects more than 10 million Americans. He directs an NIH-funded research laboratory where he has mentored almost 40 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. This episode includes the following topics: Thyroid produces thyroxin of T4.  T4 is not the biologically active, rather it is T3 T3 is biologically active Transformation of T4 to T3 happens throughs the body Levothyroxine has become the standard of care for treating hypothyroid patients T3 is the biologically active hormone, it could be by giving T4 only we are falling short Evidence based medicine wants to only treat with proven and documented therapy; T3 combination therapy is still not scientifically proven If patient takes T3 in the morning, it peaks about three hours later We have not developed a delivery system to maintain stable T3 levels The most important that we can challenge the pharmacy community is to deliver T3 in a way that it mimics the way it behaves in the human body Surveyed 12,000 patients and the ones on desiccated thyroid have higher QoL compared to those on Levothyroxine I was okay, I had a job, and then I had TT, and from that day forward my life is not the same.  Brain fog, and lack motivation We do not yet have evidence proving that combination therapy works, but some patients report improvement to QoL Mood disorders, depression, brain fog, memory loss, and lack of motivation are reported by TT patients T3 combination therapy does not Many symptoms of hypothyroidism is similar to menopause Depression like symptoms, difficult for weight loss, low motivation, less desire for physical activity, brain fog, memory loss are all symptoms patients report post TT Cannot yet yet distinguish between positive effects of T3 and placebo effects Side effects of T3 may include palpitation or sweating Improvement with combination T3 can be immediate, as reported by patients Patients on Levothyroxine most likely to be on statins, beta-blockers, and anti depressants Blood tests for TT patients, taking T3 and not Time of day to take blood tests Time blood sample depending on when patient takes lab work.  Ideally 3 or 4 hours after taking the T3 tablet Hypothyroid-like symptoms could be depression There is greater likelihood of depression symptoms for those taking Nearly 5% of the U.S. population takes T4 or Levothyroxine, as revealed by the NHANE survey.  This means 10 – 15 million Americans.  Levothyroxine is the most prescribed drug in the U.S. NOTES American Thyroid Association Bianco Lab A Controversy Continues: Combination Treatment for Hypothyroidism

My knee pain is gone, my blood work has improved, I can think more clearly and more. I hope some of my friends actually get on-board so they can reap benefits for themselves. I do tell them that what works for them may be different from what works for me.

After suffering with T2 diabetes for over 16 years following my doctor's pharmaceutical approach and completely wrong nutritional advice, I did my own research and discovered keto. I've now reversed diabetes, lost over 65 pounds and gotten off ALL my prescription meds! I'm 59 years old and in better health and am more fit than I've been in decades.

What can I do to best manage this while remaining keto? Hello Jimmy and Will, I started eating low-carb keto in April this year as a way to lose weight. I have struggled staying in ketosis, but have lost over 20 pounds so far. But my biggest problem is I’ve been having bouts of diverticulitis since making this dietary change forcing me to take Metamucil to raise my fiber intake. My doctor is recommending that I discontinue the ketogenic approach even though he was the one that encouraged me to pursue it in the first place. My C-Reactive Protein is elevated and I am now getting concerned. I’ve done my homework on a ketogenic diet reading all the books and websites and am fully convinced it’s the way to go. I hold a PhD in Biomedical Science from a US medical school and even though all I have read runs counter to what I learned in graduate school, I am fully converted and convinced of keto. Have you run into this problem before? If so, how should I proceed?

What impact on ketosis will there be with the complete removal of the thyroid? Hi Jimmy and Dr. Cole, I have been eating keto since May 2016 and I feel great! I regularly check my blood ketones and am usually in the 0.7-2.0 range. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's in 2006 and have been on 100 mcg Synthroid ever since. My thyroid levels were all in range last June but my thyroid kept getting larger. During the summer, my doctor found a nodule that ended up showing Hurthle cells. This concerned my doctor who said it’s a cancer risk and he recommended a total thyroidectomy. My surgery is schedule for next week and I’m wondering what impact this will have on my pursuit of nutritional ketosis. Will this make it more difficult for me to stay in ketosis if I no longer have a thyroid? I just want to know what I’m getting myself into so I can respond accordingly after the surgery. Love your show and keep it up! Liane KEY QUOTE “We shouldn't gorge on any food, whether it's fat, protein, or carbohydrate.

What can I do to my keto approach to remedy this? Hey guys, I’m a big fan of Keto Talk and I’ve been eating this way for about a year with great results for the most part. But I noticed a couple of months after starting a ketogenic diet, my sex hormone binding globulin rose from 50 to 70 and my testosterone tanked. I’ve since run these tests several more times and they all confirm the same thing. From what I’ve read, this means my body’s ability to use any available testosterone has been hampered and many sites online blame a low-carb diet as the culprit. I need you to talk me off the ledge on this and help me figure out what is going on. Thanks, Zach 3. Does eating a low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet make the urine pH more acidic? If so, should I be worried about this at all? Dear Jimmy and Dr. Will, Yesterday, I went to see my General Practitioner to review my latest bloodwork. She knows I’ve been eating a ketogenic diet for the past nine months and was nothing but pleased with all my markers—except for one. My urine pH was 5.5 and she noted that indicates my body is a bit acidic. She said I shouldn’t worry about this since all the other numbers are perfectly fine, but she made the following statement that stopped me in my tracks: “I am not sure, but maybe it’s the ketones you are excreting that makes your urine more acidic.” What?! Is it true that being in ketosis makes your urine acidic? Should I be worried at all about this or is this of no concern at all. Thank you for your help! Miguel   KETO TALK MAILBOX – If the body prefers to be fueled by ketones, then why does it preferentially burn glucose over fat when both are present? Hello you guys, I am currently reading Keto Clarity and the biggest question I'm having about keto is this: If my body truly prefers being in a state of nutritional ketosis and runs more optimally on ketones than on glucose, then why does my body choose to preferentially choose burning sugar over fat if both are present? I have a fear that years down the line, this whole keto diet will negatively impact my health. Is that fear justified?

You have been diagnosed with thyroid cancer, and choose no surgery.  Although thyroid cancer diagnosis has spiked around the world, a trend is to pass on surgery if the cancer is identified as low risk.  In doing so, mortality rate does not increase and it avoids unfavorable events sometimes related to surgery, such as vocal chord paralysis, hypothyroidsm, financial costs, and lifelong thyroid hormone treatment.  In this episode, we visit with Dr. hypothyroidism, a pioneer in prescribing active surveillance in place of immediate surgery.     Dr. Miyauchi is President and COO of Kuma Hospital, Center for Excellence in Thyroid Care, Kobe, Japan. He is an endocrine surgeon, especially interested in thyroid and parathyroid diseases. He earned his MD and PhD at Osaka University Medical School in 1970 and 1978, respectively. He was Associate Professor of Department of Surgery, Kagawa Medical University until he was appointed to Vice President of Kuma Hospital in 1998. Since 2001, he is at his present position. About 2,000 operations, including about 1,300 thyroid cancer cases, are done every year at Kuma Hospital. He is currently serving as Chairman of the Asian Association of Endocrine Surgeons. He also served as Council of the International Association of Endocrine Surgeons until August 2015. Topics covered, include: Incidence versus mortality Worldwide trends related to thyroid cancer Papillary Microcarcinoma of the Thyroid (PMCT) Unfavorable events following immediate surgery Results of research which began in 1993 The current trend in the incidence of thyroid cancer is expected to create an added cost of $3.5 billion by 2030, to the individual and as a society.

Thyroidectomy: complications; Thyroid surgery: RLN monitoring

Weight loss after thyroidectomy can be almost impossible unless you know exactly what to look for and how to treat it. It's considered "normal" to gain 20 pounds after thyroidectomy and Doctors tell patients that this is normal and in the same breath then say that the thyroid isn't causing the weight gain. How can this be? It is possible to lose weight after thyroidectomy but it takes a very different approach. Eating less and exercising more will NOT lead to significant weight loss if you've had a thyroidectomy or your thyroid ablated with radioactive iodine. Instead you need to be focusing on hormone imbalances that lead to weight gain. I've also included a diet guide to follow in addition to the following 5 tips which I explain in detail in the video. 5 Tips for weight loss after thyroidectomy: 1. Get on the right type and dose of thyroid medication - for most patients this means a combination of T3 and T4. So medications like cytomel or liothyronine in addition to levothyroxine/synthroid or the use of natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) will most likely be necessary. 2. Increase your free T3 - you need to be doing whatever is in your power to naturally increase your free T3. The more t3 you can in your system the higher your metabolism will be and the more weight you will lose. 3. Balance all other hormones in the body - I list several hormones, but the main ones I want you to focus on are insulin resistance and leptin resistance. Until these 2 are treated it will be almost impossible for you to lose weight. 4. Be strict with your diet but don't restrict calories - one of the worst things you can do is restrict your calories down to 1,000-1,200 calories per day. This will cause high reverse T3 levels and further reduce your metabolism. Instead be strict with WHAT you put in your mouth but don't restrict your calories. 5. When you have energy make sure you make exercise count - that means a combination of low intensity daily plus high intensity 1-3x per week.

A T4 papillary thyroid cancer with direct involvement of the right recurrent laryngeal nerve identified during intraoperative findings. Preoperative bilateral nerve function was intact. The surgery proceeds in a stepwise fashion, identifying the cancer-invaded nerve and verifying preservation of the contralateral only functioning nerve postoperatively. Total thyroidectomy, bilateral level VI and VII lymphadenectomies (bilateral paratracheal dissection), and nerve reanastomosis are demonstrated.
