Thank you, gullinvarg
Thank u I'v had a Thyroid disease all life . It's up than it's down I fell bad most of the time I can't sleep body ackes swilling of the feet. Tiredness .T Beavers Dayton OH. Thank u
Thank you.
Terri Beavers I had my thyroid gland removed due to Hashimoto’s 40 years ago. I felt just like you for years. My DO prescribed low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). It worked! Thank God. No more body aches and sleep is awesome now!
Thank you!
I just wanted to tell you that I have had the worst symptoms for so long and everyone has told me my thyroid's fine I took your list in I had the test done and it turns out I have hashi motos I want You to know that I never would have found this without your videos and I am truly grateful.
What testing shows hashimotos?
@@camarorules1reverse T3 I think he said
And what did your doctor tell you about treating Hashimoto ?
The antibody tests show when Hashimotos is present. When your blood has the antibodies present that shows the proof of the autoimmune disease. Hashimoto is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks the thyroid gland. I am learning all of this, too, after 17 years of painful symptoms!
So is the treatment the same?
Levothyroxine?
Wish I lived in Tn and you were my Dr. This has not been easy. It’s frustrating having to tell medical professionals what tests I want . It’s awful.
Same here in Texas it's easier to just pump us full of levoxythyrone =/
@@TejasToolMan I was worse when I was on levo….
Same here in France. You gotta fight for your health and the right to be correctly diagnosed and taken seriously. Fortunately, I was well informed and the endocrinologist was upset and said that I should not be doing so much research. Hello buddy, I got symptoms! He gave me 1005 reasons why I might have those symptoms. Separate reason for each and ofc….. it’s just stress!!!!
@@suedefringeSame in Oklahoma! The damned Drs REFUSE to LISTEN & Look at you like you’ve got “3 Heads” when you suggest ANYTHING but the Status Quo!
I have hyPERthyroidism. I've just been to my third endocrinologist. This one has been the worst so far. I need a good doctor.
She insulted me, she lied to me, she tried to scare me into compliance. I need a health partner, not a narcissistic bully.
Selenium is a good metabolism modulator. Maybe eating Brazilian nuts might help? It could have to do with your diet
@@rodrigsantsil it was an immune response. My thyroid is fine.
She just didn't know enough to be treating patients.
@@MelissaThompson432 Alright so. Some doctors can be very cocky. Many haven't woken up to the fact that scientific information is also widely available and play the medical degree card when you contradict them with information from the very reputable institutions they'll refer to
@@rodrigsantsil this is very true. I believed the peer-reviewed papers I found on the subject rather than her. I followed protocols they used. My thyroid is fine now; numbers perfect, no medication or other treatment.
Thank you Doctor, this is been so useful to know plus the previous video- I’ve been suffering of thyroid for quiet sometime, w/o knowing it, because for the reasons that you mentioned I’ve been diagnosed wrongly, is aggravating enough to feel most of the symptoms you mentioned and be label with the wrong diagnosis! Like you said is malpractice and I am besides myself about it, it must be God answering my prayers out desperation to get to the bottom of my symptoms to address them properly, I cannot thank you enough for your deep knowledge about this issue and the willingness to shared with so many of us struggling with a complex health problem 🙏♥️
If I go to my doctor and ask him for all these tests, he will ask me what medical school did I graduate from? Or which RUclips doctor was I listening to.. it's so frustrating.
There are so many of us who have thyroid issues and/or Hashimotos. I am in Canada,and due to research and the multiple groups I belong I have discovered there are many many of us who are not treated,tested, monitored,medicated well or listened to very well by our doctors. I wish doctors were trained better in regards to all the testing involved, not just testing and treating by TSH. This is a huge issue, and many cannot find proper care, and/or have to pay for private functional doctors, in order to get proper care,if not some of us are completely out of luck and are kept improperly medicated and feeling ill.
Snow White... sorry to hear your story. This is why Americans are so opposed to socialized medicine. I hope you feel better.
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 35 years ago and it took about 30 years to get my Hashimotos diagnosis. I never even heard of Hashimotos until my holistic doctor mentioned it and sent me for an ultrasound of my thyroid gland and did all these tests that you mentioned. I have had a dozen different pill pusher MDs over the years testing my thyroid and treat my symptoms. They never tested beyond TSH & T4, even if I asked them for more testing. And not one of them told me that I have an autoimmune disease. Not until I had found a holistic doctor was I tested & treated properly. Dr. Berry, I appreciate your holistic approach to health and your honesty. If I lived closer I would definitely love to meet with you if you are still practicing. But for now I will binge watch your videos. 😁
May I ask how the holistic doctor treated you? My doctor isn't very informative unfortunately.
Hi my name is Jackie I live in Wisconsin. They have diagnosed me with hashmoto will throw ride disease but I'm not sure if the doctor I have at ascensions in Racine Wisconsin or just pushing the pill on me and not doing testing she's argumentative with me can I ask you what doctor you found that I may could go to I'm in severe need of help
@@jacquelynchartrand729 are there other holistic doctors in your area?
Low dose naltrexone stopped mine. From 168 to under 1 in 4 weeks...the last 8 tests all fine..they had to remove the diagnosis
I'm in the same boat. I get it! I just found a functional doctor who is helping me but it's been a 30 year process. Lots of them just give you a pill and say take it for the rest of your life. I just lived with my symptoms and that was my normal. I blamed it on other life things so it's been an awakening to myself. No one spoke about food ever. My Hashimotos diagnosis came 30 years late but I'm glad to hear what's happening because at least can get a plan of action going. I quit sugar, grains, alcohol, and found out I'm allergic to tomatoes, pistachios, gluten, eggs, dairy, and hemp. I wish I would have known about in my 20's.
Brilliant, much-needed video.
My thyroid was 3.5 one year and 1.2 the next. I was told normal. I have every exact symptom. I have been having recurrent miscarriages now so here I go back to investigating myself and I ordered my own lab tests that came out to 300$ instead of seeing a doctor. I get them drawn Tuesday. Symptoms: chronic fatigue, dizziness, heart palpitations, unable to concentrate, sleeping 8-10 hours and still being exhausted, forgetting where I am and what I’m doing or even someone’s name that I’ve met, life feels “dull”, headaches, sparse eyebrows, receding hair line, face is dull even with lotion, hands and feet get cold even in the heat, hoarse scratchy throat like I always have a cold, feeling like things get stuck in my throat, hypoglycemia and needing sugar otherwise I feel I will pass out, puffy face that caused a permanent glabellar line within a month, anxiety, depression, and joint pain.
Have you ever taken an iodine and selenium test? I was studying that this morning. There may well be a correlation

I love all your RUclips videos, thank you so very much!
Excellent. Thanks!
Aloha Dr.Berry✌🏻 I’ve been looking forward to this video ..thank you
The world need more of you man!
I really appreciate it ❤
Appreciate this!
Thank you for the information doctor! I’ll be checking my results soon!!
Thank you so much Dr Berry!
im so thankful for this doc
Thank you so much Doc! This is what we were looking for!
LOVE U KEN BERRY EVENMY FATHER DONT KNOW ABOUT THIS WHEN I ASKED HIM ABOUT THESE TESTS . I STRAIGHT AWAY LAUGHED AT HIM.
Excellent info Dr Berry you one of a kind. Thank you so much.🙏🏾🌺
This is exactly what I've been trying to figure out. I was at my doctor's office recently for symptoms of chronic fatigue, and had blood work done. Shortly after that, I came across the symptoms for Hashimoto's (along with your wife's videos), and I'm convinced that's what I'm dealing with! When I messaged my doctor to ask for testing, I got a "we just checked your TSH levels, and they were fine" response. I need as much info as possible before my appt on Monday. Thank you!!
This is amazingly helpful!!!! I never know the lingo to use with my doctor so I really appreciate this!
Your videos are so informative and amazing. Thank you for doing this work!
I will let my doctor know for my next testing coming up in September!! Thank you so MUCH!!!
thanks for this wonderful information
Thanks Doctor again!
I wish you will be my Doctor!
Ty will be discussing these with my Primary.
Thank you , Dr. Berry 💕
Doctor, could you talk about what jacks up SHBG and possibly what we can do to lower it?
Also, can you talk about autoimmune related inflammation due to, e.g., Lyme coinfections, mold exposure, heavy metal toxicity, or reactions to food?
My thyroid went south at 49. Keto saved my life after gaining 74 lbs in 5 months! 276 back to 213 and plan on striving for 204 my original weight. I just received out iodine so that my wife will take it with me. I think she is in need
Bravo Andy. You took courageous steps with great results
Please update !!! Was iodine helpful
I really can’t say. I lost the weight was in great shape and felt great. So I’m sure that was part of it. I injured my back 2 years ago and haven’t been as active as I have been for the last 15 years. I actually went down to 199 but settled at 205. I have a blood test on Friday so I will try to find out. Oh, I’m 67 now
Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing this, Dr. Berry! You have no idea how many people it will help! So grateful!
This is what happened to me. My first checks of TSH + T4 were okay, but I was strongly believing that all my symptoms - and there were too many to just ignore, and my both sisters had hypothyroidism already diagnosed - was clearly pointing to hyphothyroidism. The first time I tried a really tiny dose of Levothyroxine was really an eye-opening experience. It's the most important medicine now in my life, improving the quality of my life by a light years.
I take np thyroid..I was diagnosed with hashimotos..was started on 90 mgs of np thyroid..then it could not be found. Was switched to armour..now back on np thyroid..am finally normal and temp has gone from 97 to 98..temp is my go to for knowing my thyroid is not right..glad the synthetic is working for u..it did not work for me..natural works for me
Thank you SO much
Wow. So interesting! Thanks
Thank you so much. This is the information I needed.
I can't stop thanking GOD for using Dr iyaremoses on RUclips for using his herbal medicine to get rid of hypothyroidism.
Wonderful video. So many doctors insist that TSH is the only test needed. My thyroid has been dead for many years. TSH on me often tells doctors I am getting too much thyroid. Frustrating that every time I get a new doctor I must deal with hardheaded doctors that think I only need the TSH.
Dr.'s do NOT like patients telling them how to do their job. So how do I find a Dr that wants to look past the "norm"????
Pay cash.
Join the Facebook group "The Attuned Thyroid". There's a list of "Good Practitioners".
@@infullbloom3246 nope not even that works
@@opossum632 ok pay cash and make sure doctor is not licensed therefore not controlled by big pharma.
I just saw an Endernalogist and got told that I don't need it, and R3 just sits there and doesn't do anything.
Bravo. Thanking you from Ohio.
Great video
We have Hypothyroidism and Hasimotos in our family. I will get checked right away.
Thank you Dr Berry will definitely be checking my thyroid soon also I just ordered the iodine drops you recommended
Thank you Dr Berry that is great information I hope I can get my Dr to do that for me
If I paid cash about how much would all that cost
Thank you Dr Berry. I am severely depressed and my psychiatrist who is treating my depression ordered a CBC and told me I had hypothyroidism because the TSH was elevated. Solely on that. Nothing else was checked but the TSH. So I have been stressing so much over this diagnosis because I’ve never had thyroid problems 🥲 I hope the diagnosis is not right 😭
Thank you for being detailed on what needs to be tested!!! This is what my doc wants me to be tested for & some of it is a completely different language.
Hypothyroidism
224576 | TSH+free T4-224576-P
010389 | triiodothyronine (T3), free
303756 | lipid panel-303756-P
005009 | CBC with differential/platelet
334943 | CMP14+eGFR
Yep! Back when I had stage 3 thyroid cancer and hypothyroidism, they said my tests were "normal". So I took over my own healthcare and haven't had either of the above since 2013. When I get thyroid levels checked now, I tell them to do a FULL PANEL.
Thanks Doc! I’ll definitely ask my doc for some of these after watching the symptoms video. I’ve been trying to figure out why my ADHD has gotten worse (also some unexpected weight gain). Interestingly I read somewhere that thyroid issues might be more common in the ADHD population but maybe it’s just overlapping symptoms
Which medicine would you recommend, when a patient has
Tpo- ab,TG- ab,TSHr- ab or NI- symporter- ab. Thanks a lot for this channel Dr.Ken.
Low Total t4 and high reverse t3 thyroglobulin ab
Could you show me any information on graves and hyperthyroidism I’ll be gratefully thankful!
I so wish that I wasn’t 2 1/2 hrs west of Nashville. I would definitely come to visit and be ecstatic to have you as my physician. Good bless yo u.
I can't thank you enough, doc. There are very few of you AROUND THE WORLD. My health plan doesn't cover integrated medicine professionals and conventional doctors won't include as many labs even if you beg them to, 35 at most as opposed to 70. I've never heard of the level 2 ones from an integrated medicine doc
Thanks a lot for this in-depth thyroid testing video! I get checked only TSH and parathormone regularly. My 6th sense has been telling me it is not enough. Besides, we got some "nice" Chernobyl fallout in the 80s :(
Very informative video. What about Hyperthyroidism (Graves)? Can you make a video about that? Tests, medications, diet - dos and don'ts.
I was diagnosed with graves in 1993, had almost all the symptoms.😢 they gave me radio active iodine to kill the thyroid off . Old school Dr I was young and dumb! Suffered side effects of low throws since. NO-ONE has ever understood or tried to help. Even went to an endocrinologist for 2 years nothing worked. I know they weren’t doing all these test!
Dear Doctor!
I would like to ask you the question regarding my parathyroid surgery which was done 2-3 weeks ago. Surgent removed 3 pieces of my gland. I got lab test back 2 days ago and nurse said that I still have PTH level high 101. Before the surgery was 108. What does it mean?
Thanks sooo much for valuable information and education about different health topics!!
Thirty five years ago, I had an issue, (because of a birth defect,) that led to the loss of my colon and eventually the loss of 6 foot of my small bowel. I also have had a pyloriplasty during to severe scaring from an ulcer.
I have had hypothroidism for several years, but have suspected, (as a nurse,) that It is because am suffering from malnutrition because of 35 years of uncontrolled diarrhea that they are just really now startling to get a handle on. I am 79 and have about every symptom you named.
At this point my hair is falling out, my nails are disgusting, my ears ring so loud I have trouble hearing at times. I have been on Gabapentin for 13 years for neuropathy they don't know the cause of and have osteoporosis. I could go on but, even with seeing the Doc every 3 months, I think I have been sl-o-o-wly starving to death for years, and even with all these problems, I keep telling them that, and they just don't get it. I am now on 8 different meds and still miserable with many of the other symptoms mentioned.
Thanks to your video, I will now double and triple my efforts on my own behalf and we shall see what happens.
Thanks for the video. It has made me wonder about recent symptoms that I have. I have developed tingling hands and feet, particularly at night and have woken up with them being tingly and cold. Also feeling really tired, could these be hypothyroid symptoms? Also my Mum had Hashimotos so is it possible I could inherit this?
Is there are difference between the normal and optimal levels for thyroid? And if so what are the optimal ranges? If your tests all show you are in normal range but not optimal is there anything you can go to help get them into a more optimal range?
Can you please tell us what the actual reference ranges are for each of these thyroid tests. I know that the lab reference ranges from the blood report labatory can be grossly inaccurate. And maybe what the 'ideal" normal levels are for each test . Thank you.
I am Definitely going through this and you are right this is what I’m battling . I just had all the tests you said and 😢. I have reverse T 3 at 16.. On Armour NDT. Now was diagnosed with hashimoto. He just said your thyroid is in range but my antibodies are climbing. They went from 3.1 to 4.3 in a month. I have so many symptoms. I’m asking him to just put me on T3 to see how I feel! To flush out the reverse T3 and possibly bring down my antibodies. My TSH is 1 .4 my T 4 is 1.00 my T 3 is 2.9.
Please Dr. Berry what do you think! I’m on a clean diet no gluten no diary. Eat grassfed meat organic.
I’m very on edge in pain shortening of breath I’m 70 I just found you and your wife since this happened. About 6 weeks or more ago. There is much more to my story and Armour thyroid.
I have been on Armour for 12 years and the endocrinologist in California took me off of it for a few days and lowered the dose. I was super depressed at that time and having some symptoms. My pituitary was not working it took 3 months to straighten out! That was 3 years ago.
Now I’m diagnosed with Hashimoto and I feel so terrible. My primary care Dr is treating my thyroid not an endocrinologist. Because the endocrinologist wanted me on Synthroid and that’s when I went into severe hypothyroidism. HELP
It took me years to get a diagnosis. Then it took me two more doctors before I got the correct medication. My doctor retired and recommended a new doctor. I'm so nervous!
What about high/hyper thyroidism? Any video or info about the treatment 🙏
Dr Berry, so, if somebody has receptor problems, is there anything to do? Thank you!
I had a complete panel done, and all my numbers but one were normal, but on lower end of normal. T3 Uptake was low. Doctor said its no big deal.
I just went and got mine checked and I bet I'm going to have to go back after this
Update?
Yes, I have been put on 150 Levothyroxine , but no better.
From 2012 to 2019, I had three tests 1.77, 1.64, 1.56 (6/2019). Started low-carb (about 3/2019), went for keto, then carnivore (3/2020). As of 07/11/2020, my TSH was 2.06 (range 0.35 - 4.00).
This is good to know, mine is 1.07 And I'm on the hunt to get it higher since I'm in a "normal range". It's always been in the middle until this last test
Mine is 0.21
Mine is 4.12 and doc says it's normal...
Hi Doc Berry. Can you please do a video about the treatment of Hashimotos?
I got a wide array of thyroid tests and definitely have hashimotos. But I need to have some other information on the treatment because my doc had no idea what hashimotos even was until I asked for more tests. How do I know she knows how to treat it?
hey Ken how much Iodine should you take if you suspect you are low in it? how much is too much?
Please Dr Berry I need help with this thyroid problem
What do you suggest I do
I had my general tests done and am taking a low doze of thyrozene which has not made any difference
Thanks for your videos I come from Malta
I have half a thyroid and the other half is very hypo. I’ve been on meds for 20 years. I had to change docs bc I moved an hour away. I was totally fine on my medication Mg. New doc ran a test and LOWERED my mg substantially. I am now exhausted beyond belief, gaining weight fast even after diet and exercise routines, freezing, hair falling out, etc. thanks a lot for nothing, new doctor! 😡. One thing I’ve learned- doctors don’t give a crap! Every time I said anything to any doc in the past after seeing them for a few moments, “Welp, you’re probably depressed, eat healthy, exercise, drink lots of water”. I’m like, “Why are you assuming I’m not doing that already? You didn’t even ask me what my habits were!!!! And NO, I’m not depressed dammit! I’m flipping frustrated, but not depressed!”
just ordered your book, and the iodine drops. I had a thyroidectomy 10 yrs ago due to a tumor( 3 doc said, but when I got my surgical and pathology report , there was NOT a tumor at all, the scans had been misread 3 times!!! and they took it out anyway!) Will these test still be valid for me? on Synthroid for replacement If these labs are not for those of us who have had thyroid removed, can you do a video on that? Thanks
Hello. My primary did a tsh, free t4 was high and free t3 was low. Will I need the reverse t3, urine iodine and the others u mentioned. My hands freeze even if 90 degrees outside.? Thank you. Love your videos. You changed my life!!
I started KETO one years ago (feel great, have better control of my blood sugar) and have recently been diagnosed with Stage 3 of Chronic Kidney Disease. Is there anything I should change or do more of in my diet?
Dr Berry
What is your suggestion for T3 conversion issues?
Hi Dr. Berry I greatly value your insights. I do however have a question concerning iodine: how would our ancestors have gotten along (given the fact that not all of them were close to the sea all the time) ... I don't recall the Apache or the Sioux being reported to all have goiters.I am probably missing something but so far getting 3mg (3000micrograms) seems to be a bit of a challenge to me (even with iodized salt) as my steak apparently has 20 -100micrograms per kilo!?
So, I've been on Keto since Sept. of last year. I lost over 40 lbs and have been maintaining my weight goal since Feb. I recently gave blood and my cholesterol came back 233. Should I be worried?? My bp , pulse, blood count everything was great. Thanks for your help Doc.
I seem to remember a video Dr. Berry did on this. I can't remember which one though.
Look at your triglycerides not total
If already taking medication(levothyroxine) what's the recommendation for testing, don't take it before the test/the day before or take it normally?
What if one of the symptoms is tinnitus? I’ve switched pycho-active drugs from Seriquil to Latuda. I have thyroid nodules. I see a endocrinologist.
I need my Doctor to run every test he can. I have great insurance. My hair is falling out and I am exhausted most days. Despite working out daily and tracking all my intake I barely lose any weight. Technically, I’m not over weight but I have terrible cellulite and sagging skin on my upper legs. This all started about 2 years ago. I’m 54, 5’3 and 123 lbs. I’ve been in menopause since age 37 and have taken HRT most of that time. I have searched everywhere for someone with systems like mine. I take Levothyroxine but i think it needs increased. I read everything I can to try and find answers. I’m thinking I need an Endocrinologist and not a primary care doctor.
Definitely see an endo.
I had zero luck with an endocrinologist - I suggest calling a local pharmacy and finding doctors who prescribe natural desiccated thyroid. Go to one of those!
listen to Toni
Levothyroxine is synthroid. Ask the doctor about getting on WP Thyroid or NatureThroid. Synthroid had my hair falling out so badly, I was exhausted and I was on double the dose that I've been on w/ WP Thyroid. I've been on WP Thyroid for years and have never needed to bump it up past the lowest level possible.
@@Ev-vh3pf synthroid makes me tired too I thought it was just the keto detox process. I'll persuade my doc to change it an see how it makes me respond
Asked for the basic level 1 tests that you described. I was told they could not be justified. Any ideas? Doc is opposed of natural thyroid medication as well.
That is exactly what's going on with me.
Thank you Doctor .Around 2009 I was found to have Lymes disease. The private Doctor in the UK suggested I ask my GP to test my thyroid. The TSH and T4 were I believe in range. I went for a private scan and was advised that I did have inflammation/nodules and in the radiographers experience, I would need treatment in around 7 years. The last 2 years everything has gone haywire and I have really lengthy flare ups, and I can actually feel a lump on my thyroid. It is very easy to feel. With my pushing they tested again, TSH and T4 and TPO. ( they did the TPO under duress)TPO’S were high but they said not not to worry as my TSH was normal I have been to the doctors so many times in the last year and not once has the GP palpated my thyroid gland or suggested a scan. I have just about every single symptom of hypothyroid. They don’t believe I don't overeat. And put everything down to being in my head I think. I even have microglossia permanently and evidenced by my old GP from years ago. I also have developed permanent high Liver enzymes ( I am tea total) and now something is attacking all my joints. ( not RA- they actually ruled that out) I am now worried the autoimmune has effected other areas. Even an NHS endocrinologist wrote to me to basically say they wouldn't treat me. My BMR is 1375, when I’m not in huge flare up, I train 4.-5 times a week , walk everywhere and have only been eating 1200 cals a day ( cutting carbs) yet for the last 8 weeks my weight has gone up by around 2lbs per week. This week I have cut my calories more although all my training , research and common sense indicate that this is not the correct path. I,like many are being left to suffer. I think they are trying to pin it on fibromyalgia yet after research, although there are a few overlaps, the symptoms don’t really fit. I will now look at the other video
Sounds like your chronic “caloric” restriction is messing you up.
@@jonchapman6821 Yes I think you are right. I have been looking up leptin resistance etc. I don't know how to get around this. As soon as I step up my calories even slightly, the weight goes up even more. I was always literally a very slim and athletic fit person and now people always assume I eat all the pies as they say here. My body temperature is always low. If I could afford it I would go carnivore or keto.
The lab you suggested 2 years ago is no longer in business. Can you please recommend another lab?
My doc will only do the standard TSH + Free T4. He says the rest are unnecessary even though Humana covers them all. I got him to add the TPO-Ab but he said the treatment is still going to be the same - levothyroxin. Humana covers Amour Thyroid but he said I don't need it. I wanted the Free T3 so I found that Any Labs Now does the TSH, Free T3 and Free T4 for $99. The Reverse T3 test is $129 by itself. I'll try and submit the receipts to Humana and see what they do.
Dr. Berry,i almost died back in july of 2022,becouse my own dr rise the thyroid meds from 50mg to 75mg. That's how i learn to start taking real control of my own health. I din't even know you sir. I was watching youtube without searching for specific thing. And i saw somenthing like ketogenic diet and fasting from some rondom videos,and here you were sir.. i watch some of your videos about keto...ketovore...and carnivire diet. So from that day i start my jorney with first keto/16/8 fasting for 3 weeks,than i start with ketovore/18/6 fasting,then when i saw i was getting huge results i start with carnivore/ omad fasting. Now we are at the end of september of 2022,and i lost 40 lbs,plus my blood sugar is 89 from 420.and my blood preasure is 117/72 from 159/110. So i call my own dr.and she kind took pause when i explaind her how i change my health... so i don't take simnavastastin,glisipide,metformine,and the thyroid meds anymore. Thank you dr. Berry...now everynight i do my walks i listen to your youtube videos. I love the chicken liver and all those beautiful on budget steaks,and eggs everyday,of course once a day. I don't spend money on those high protain,or supliments. I get what i need from PROPER HUMAN DIET. And i get my my elecrolite by putting pink salt under my toung every morning. Thank you dr. Berry. You saved my life. God bless you and God bless your family sir.👌🤙👌🤙👌
WOW...that is powerful proof this way of eating saved your life! Huzzah!!! You should have more thumbs up. You are a living testimony of Dr. Berry's hard work & his legacy of being kicked out of the American Medical Association for helping people & not lying to them! Huzzah, Dr. Berry, here in this comment is more proof you rock! Thank you so very much for saving lives!
Can you do a Hyperthyroid video? I know Graves is associated with it but I am Hyper and have Hashimotos. I never hear anyone talking about that combination.
Thanks Dr. Berry! Looking good with that shirt. I asked my doctor yesterday to make me some tests but for what's going on in the world she said she doesn't want me to go into the office for my type one diabetes, told me to call back in a month lol
Please talk about Graves’ disease and hyper thyroid and what happens with iodine in case of hyper. I feel that Graves and hyper and left out and there is no enough awareness about them.
76 YO. I had thyroidectomy years ago. Still have parathyroids. Do I still need complete thyroid panel? Have been on Synthroid/Levothyroxine all these years. Doctor is in process of testing to increase dosage.
I didn't even get half those tests done and it was a thyroid specialist.
Hi Dr, is it possible to consult you online with my thyroid test results?
Can you make a video about hyperthyroid?
Doc! I have been on thyroid meds for hypo the passed 20 years! Sould I or would it be any benefit to me to get the full panel of test now??
Yes u should do William
Do you know that KETO diet lowers T3 pretty substantially? After 6 months on keto i went from 62% of t3 range to 19% of the range. I do not loose weight. I it a lot until i am full. 2 times a day, usually 16/8. I feel great, lots of energy and i can go and go without stopping. However, my wife has hashimotos and hypothyrioidism and she is on keto since june and now no doctor can tell how to analyze her lab tests simply because there are no normal ranges for people on keto and no one every researched keto for hypothyroid patients. So, she just checked how she feels. That's basically now the only way. How is your T3 doing?
Doctor I would be interested in knowing what sort of treatments there are for people whom these tests flag? Is it something different than more levothyroxine or natural dessicated thyroid? Is it mainly iodine supplementation?
Where is the link to the lab to bypass your doctor if they refuse to test as you have recommended?
Which one makes you lose weight
I've had Hypothyroidism since very young. Once in a while I need my prescription dose changed but it's suppose to be "under control". Doctor, can you do a video on Gastroparesis? My husband was diagnosed with Diabetic Gastroparesis recently and it's terrible. I'm trying do do research and I don't understand how it says it's a rare condition/disease but then our Gastro tells us they see at least two patients with it every day and the nurse at the ER told us they get many people with pain and symptoms from it. :(
