My endocrinologist refused to run a reverse T3 rest for me. He was furious and asked who told me about it. My pharmacy told me.
My test was at 5..he increased my levothyroxone..I am getting a new doctor..
Smart person. These physicians are POS
Hey Patricia also check out Dr Westin website he deals a lot with explaining the meds properly and the side effects may have. I had a client in her late 30’s on levothyroxone struggling to lose weight. I’m not saying this is in your case just interesting to the 4 different types of medication .
Yes, I wonder why reversed T3 is not taken? Even though you ask for it. Been trying to get it for years without results
lmao why was he mad though?
@@Marysol1fi that's too bad. even if you pay out of pocket? you can get any labwork you want in mexico on a walk-in basis.
Started taking Iodine drops with distilled water, no floride!, and the changes are mind blowing. Hypothyroid symptoms are going away.
Where did you get the droops? Does it have to be distilled water?
What brand, dosage, etc please?
Lugols iodine - 2-3 drops in glass of water every evening. Swill your mouth after to avoid staining teeth.
@@tracycroll4325 Are you also consuming iodized salt on top of the drops?
@@patatevitale no
My TSH was over 36! This is the worst I have ever felt. I have Hashimoto’s and it has never been so bad. More doctors need to know more about this disorder and offer more help. Thanks for posting information.
its sad how many Drs just dont care anymore..
Man, I totally agree!!!
Regular doctors aren’t trained in this way of thinking 😢
Doctors care. Please let’s not paint them all w. A broad brush

I eat a lot of herring, sardines, meat, eggs…raw nuts, fruits/veggies. Sleep, strength training, walking in nature. Breathwork got it 🙌
Do you add anything to your fish? Like spices, seasonings to help flavor it? I need to add sardines and herring to my diet. I love salmon but its expensive compared to herring and sardines. Thanks!!!
How does breathwork help
@@lolafalona6451 I cook them in garlic and olive oil…like the Spanish do..they are delicious..the herring, is cured in oil..

Hi Doc, I have hypothyroidism but I'm asking about my friend. SHE IS SMALL ,HAS ULCER ,HAD HIGH TRIGLYCERIDES, ASTHMA ,and most of time she feel different about her food ,today she likes t tomorrow she doesn't.,she had liver issues come from family of diabetic. SO I HELP HER WITH NATURAL REMEDIES TO LOWER SUGAR ,AND TO HEAL THE ULCER .BUT I WORRY IF SHE DOES HAVE HYPERTHYROIDISM. BUT SHE HAS GOOD APETIE ,OR IS IT SIMPLY HER ULCER,SHE IS IN THE LATE 50'S.
Wow, a lot of content in the video. I have hypothyroidism and take Levothyroxine. I do try many alternative therapies; I try to strictly follow an anti-inflammatory diet. I do yoga, journal, mediate, get out in nature as much as possible. I take vitamins and supplements, do red light therapy. Hot/cold showers. I focus on sleep; stress reduction. I feel like I do everything I can possibly do but feel like I'm missing something? Thanks for all the good information.
Please look to carnivore diet: Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Sean O’ Mara, Dr. Elizabeth Bright - especially for women, Dr. Paul Saladino, Dr. Georgia Ede - for mental health through diet.
a) we need BALANCE -- vegetables and some fruits too. We can't get it ALL from meat. b) if you're not careful about what you're eating (meat-wise), and ensure it's grass fed, open graze, etc....c) addictions to smart devices and internet few list as a health habit to kill....EMF she misses. More to it. Gotta have also water that is fluoride filtered out, etc, raise iodine, etc because we're being...nuked! @@LauraHartman-k2u

Stop taking the meds.
@@aileenbie291I’ve was told by a friend that once you start that med you can’t come off bc it down-functions thyroid function.
Last month I insisted my doctor schedule a blood test for antibodies to see if they were causing my longstanding hypothyroidism. He looked puzzled and asked why. I told him about leaky gut, gluten and molecular mimicry and that people with one autoimmune disease are more likely to get another. He asked, _"Where are you getting this stuff?"_ Seriously. Incredible!
It turned out that yes, I _do_ have both TPO and TgAb antibodies even though I'm eating keto, largely free of gluten, soy, corn and seed oils.
This month I'm experimenting by avoiding all dairy. I've already seen a benefit. I hope I don't have to give up dairy forever, but I'm pleased to finally be making progress.
Sounds like you need to find a good functional medicine dr. I just found a great one after trying a few. My regular dr sounds like yours 🤦🏼♀️
@@K1111A I can't find one here in Maryland. It's frustrating.
@@KenJackson_US I can't find one either. We have places in Omaha but the waitlist is like 8 months and no insurance covers anything at a functional doctor. It is infuriating. I've been going it alone for a while. Doctors don't like to be told what to test and why you do or don't want certain tests/medications. I had a similar experience as you when I tried a new doctor last year. He didn't want to test anything but I had a list of all the thyroid related tests I wanted. He told me it was pointless to have my antibodies tested if I tested positive for them in the past "bc they never go away". I wanted to see if they had lowered bc of the diet & lifestyle changes I had made. (They were significantly lower btw) All he wanted to do was prescribe me a 100 different medications, even after the first thing I said was that I wanted to stay off all prescriptions. He wanted to give me an antidepressant and metformin. I am not depressed, not overweight, do not have diabetes. Unbelievable. After my appt he said, "ok well, I'll see ya in a year if you want to make another appt." No thanks!
I discovered about fifteen years ago that I have an anaphylactic allergy to the protein casein in dairy. I missed cheese and ice cream for a minute, but I saw huge differences in how I felt! And my skin improved dramatically! If I could go back, I wouldn't. It was a blessing in disguise.
Keto causes a constant stress state in the body. Keto and carnivore caused my hypothyroidism. I am back to eating carbs. Look into the pro-metabolic or bio-energetic view of health.
Unfortunately, functional medicine doctors are often not covered by insurance here in the U.S. All of these tests and treatments, except for the natural ones like diet and lifestyle changes, can get very expensive.
Yes, but you get what you pay for. They're smarter than conventional docs as they treat the root cause and body as a whole. They're more effective and because of that, insurance won't pay. Everyone needs to call their local Congressman to get this changed so insurance companies can start paying out on these providers or it will never change!!
They add up. If US stopped giving away billions to Israel they would be able to care for Americans
Yep. "Cut them or pill them and bill them" is our healthcare model here. "Management" of a chronic condition with drugs is not equivalent to curing it; but it's much more lucrative for the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries.
I have taken iodine for years. Had an ultrasound yesterday and both sides have suspicious lesions. I am so disappointed. It’s a constant battle to stay healthy in the US
Maybe you were eating foods that block iodine absorption
You have to take selenium with it for proper absorbtion
Hey Dianne, don't sweat it. You know iodine excess or deficiency can cause nodules, but others can cause nodules too!! Selenium, iron, zinc are just a few that I've read the published research papers on. I (and my doctor) had no idea! Quick summary: selenium helps snuff out the hydrogen peroxide fire after thyroids byproduct of T4, also helps convert it to active t3.
Zinc is an antioxidant and assists thyroid, as does copper. So don't do either of those in huge doses or you could drop the other, since they compete.
Vitamin D and magnesium are crucial in hundreds of functions globally, including thyroiditis.
Iron deficiency or even ferritin under 100 can cause nodules too! Still learning what all iron does for thyroid hormone.
Because you are NOT supposed to take iodine through supplements. Only if you have a serious lack, and for a short period. There is this Iodine Project people, spreading around misinformation , urging people to take high doses of iodine, while all the research is showing that above or below the recommended dosage is harmful.
I fell into this deception as well, but thank God I fell on a video from another doctor, who explains in detail why this Project is false and even dangerous. I watched this video here for cross-reference, bc I trust doctor Hyman, and surely enough he NEVER mentioned taking iodine supps!!!
Now I am sitting in my house with a stash of iodine supplements, from the one hand feeling sorry for the money I threw, but most importantly feeling grateful that I got it at the beginning , before hurting my thyroid
I'm happy to report since 3/6/23 post partial Thyroidectomy with large nodule.
The diet changes have led me to losing 46#, off 20 plus medications, including pain meds. BP has lowered since eating beets daily.
Mensus stopped age 41, now 64.
No eyebrows!
I saved myself getting a 2nd Hip Replacement.
That is just a few amazing changes❤
CPTSD, fibromyalgia, the Gut Microbium is the biggest challenge.
Next, I plan to do your labs to check on metals. All while grieving my sister, who sadly was murdered last June and wants to drag a trial😢
Thanks to video cameras, justice will be served one day!
I can choose this as my sister's way of saving "My life!"
Holy hell what a story. Hope you doing well now.

Yes, thanks. I may write a book of how I changed my genetic family trauma.
My Ancestry account documents so much. Wild when you look back.🧡
@@galemartinez6585can you share a few ideas here? Sorry to hear of things you have been through.
The 1st thing I did to start was cutting all my intake by half, save it for later so my mind would know. Increase the time between meals, and when your stomach growls, you learn you won't die of hunger. For my low blood sugar, Dr. Mark Hyman suggests keeping a go pack always available. I keep a bag full of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit. I have been hypoglycemic all my life if I don't eat enough protein. I get symptomatic when traveling.
@@chrisgrui1993 considering I am amazed when my mind stops racing that I'm quite lucky, educating myself as a nurse helped to understand.
@24:55 You say to get rid of gluten and list rice when listing foods with gluten… rice is gluten free, so why is it bad?
Mark, I'd love for you to speak about the emotional root cause of thyroid issues. The true holistic healing comes from the internal shift when the conflict heals and the identity changes. I know you know!
Thank you Dr Mark Hyman. You truly are my hero. God bless you and your family. I have the utmost respect and admiration for you and your superior work.
Absolutely beautiful advice but when are we going to see patients moving away from thyroid medicine altogether because they no longer need it. Is it possible in this toxic world!
This is a world of selfish pharma people who wont think twice if people die as long as they push medicines down people s throats.
Yeah, great info but like usual...don't eat anything(it will affect your thyroid)basically everything in life will cause you issues with your thyroid. Plus, it will cost you a fortune on food, vitamins and everything everything else you have to change in your household. I have done it all and just can't afford all of it anymore. I myself am just living with hoshimotos and just do the best I can. I mean...you need a huge book of dos and don't with thyroid problems.
I totally agree with you. There is no cure & there is very little reliable data on Hashi’s. Apparently there are loads of triggers including gluten, sugar, dairy, salt,
Alcohol, chemicals to name but a few! The best thing is try to eat a healthy diet, take a decent vitamin supplement & exercise ( but not too strenuous)
Just try to enjoy life & appreciate the things you can do!
I would suggest 90% of your readers/watchers, can in no way afford all these tests, much less the initial visit or joining fees.
But, $500 for all that testing and retesting sounds like something I need to think about.
Fifty percent disabled. Veteran who’s been eating 70-80% keto, walking with spring bursts (too weak for past three weeks. Hundreds in supplements. Watch the best practitioners and have both books.
Tried to get my VA doctor do those thyroid labs you mentioned-she’s not doing it.
She did order a brain scan for memory problems, getting worse by the month-thus the scan. And this is a lot to remember. Printing out this transcript to give her-she will have a personal health crisis eventually!!!
There was only one CD of the four you mention in your book, available in your store site.
But I imagine all you say in these videos is what the CD would reveal.
So, just follow his suggestions, which are the same for any chronic condition, and you will surely feel much greater in every level. This is what I do and it works
My hashimotos appears to be from lack of sleep and/or high aluminum.
How do you get your doctor to actually treat it? instead of brushing it off as a side effect of age and being female?
Try different doctors. Took me 3 years within the same clinic.
You might be able to treat yourself , if you read up enough on it and can get the right product in your area
Live in a small rural town and the clinic won't let you change doctors.
@@annetteburchfield1067 if you live in America they might allow you to order a NDT or T3:T4 product online but I don't know all the ins & outs , needs to be standardized,
There's a nice blog on thyroid called thyroid patients ca I think
@@annetteburchfield1067 besides there's things you can try instead of replacing ,
For example there's a Japanese study where women who were on 1g+ iodide a day lowered their intake and their thyroid hormone levels restored
In America salt has high iodide. On the other hand if iodide is too low under 75mcg it can fix hypothyroid by eating more
Another one is fixing iron deficiency or maybe copper deficiency if have this
Possibly reducing estrogen if high as there's a link to high estrogen creating need for higher amounts of thyroid to work (things like high gamma vit e, or hesperidin from orange juice, potentially might lower estrogen but not sure on all the effects)
You just described me...and i do have Hashimotos...and heart problems so....i started on carnivorian foods and in 5 days im a brand new person..and my hair is growing and thichickening...and shinny right before my eyes..and ive lost 8 pounds...and the word looks like i have a bright filter on ..(.and ive not lost my train of thought..in the last 3days)... praising the GodS
What were your heart problems? I have hashis, 16 years on thyroid hormone. For over a year I've been experiencing palpitations That wake me up in the middle of the night and coincide with hot flashes.
Had a full cardiac workup and they don't see anything of concern. so the heart is not the cause of the palpitations.
There is only one GOD . Jesus died and rose from the dead to set you free from the eternal judgment we all deserve. It you repent of your sins and ask Jesus to take over your life He Will! He will prove He’s real. He is awesome!
Wish I'd had this knowledge 15 years ago. 🤷🏼♀️

30 years ago!
Me too …
God Bless you all. It’s a total travesty for all of us and those who are no longer with us. People think it’s innocent incompetence but only on the front lines. The decision-makers and chair members of health organizations and the elite institutions that fund and direct policies at the top are sinister and there are centuries old documents and testimonies to prove it. Pray for the disclosure and dissolution of this age-old traditionary trend and the best evolution and improvement of these systems as a civilization.
I got the results of the blood test PTH Intact 117 ng/L. Leucocytes 3.8 x10^9/L
Waw ,Doc ,all my respect no stone unturned .Thank you.
And eat what? Grass. This is just unsustainable and unrealistic in our world. And im not a millionaire.
_”If your answer is yes to any of these questions…”_
My answer was yes to ALL of those questions & my doctor still says I don’t have a thyroid problem.
I don’t understand - do people with Hashimoto’s need to take iodine or not?? From one of the provided research links it says “The thyroid uses iodine, a mineral in some foods, to make thyroid hormones. However, if you have Hashimoto’s disease or other types of autoimmune thyroid disorders, you may be sensitive to harmful side effects from iodine.”
If you're low on selenium iodine not recommended but if you're replete with selenium it's essential to take it.
@@Henry-uo4xd No! Iodine supps are dangerous! A thyroid condition does not imply iodine deficiency. I did the same mistake, but after I researched further I stopped taking iodine. These Iodine Project advocates are endangering people, only based on speculations, while all research shows the opposite! Take care
For people on no medication but are told they are 'borderline' hypothyroid. Try changing your diet. Do everything you can before taking levo. An acquaintance also borderline, paid to see a Harley Street doctor and he prescribed iodine drops, which bought her back to normal levels. I didnt know this at the time and stupidly, without even researching, 7 years ago I started 50mcg levo and now take100mcg. In my personal opinion, once youre on levo its impossible to come off. Over the last two years ive stuck ridgedly to different diets - more recently high fat ketovoire and iodine 2 drops (also lost 35lbs. My tsh went from 2.1 to 9.5. Nothing works for me. Obviously, some doctors know the trick is to try iodine BEFORE levo but theres no money in it. I hate taking Levo (because of future bone issues) but am beginning to come to terms with it. Ill never forgive nhs for not suggesting iodine FIRST. In UK they refuse to test t3, too. Ive given up.
Sorry to hear that Virginia. I agree. Have you had your ferritin above 100 this whole time? And B12 above 500ng (not nmol)... Lastly selenium and zinc are crucial to convert T4 into T3.
Magnesium especially in the form of Glycinate can help so many hormones and body systems, BTW.
TCM heals these problems
Great videos Dr! Can swelling in the knees also be a low thyriod symptom?
You said to get rid of oats, barley, spelt, wheat, rice and gluten. What about brown rice? And what about Quinoa???? Is there any grain I can eat???
It's better not to. It's all carbs, low quality protein and they all have anti-nutrients.
However, the number one rule is get seed oils, aka vegetable oil out of your life
I actually came upon some medical research study that showed that for half the population BLACK SEEDS OR BLACK SEED OIL could reverse Hashimoto's. I think you should read the government health website on it.@@galahadthreepwood
try eating lentils and beans...chickpeas,blackbeans.etc.
What are your thoughts on EMF's (Electromagnetic Frequencies) affecting many aspects of our health and wellbeing? Thank-you Dr. ✨❤️✨
Its another major disaster being covered up. Absolutely detrimental to health.
@@now591 Yes I agree 💯💯💯 👍
I was just going to comment. Every one who says "I do this right and that right"...meanwhile, on their 'smart' devices all day and night, never read paper books, glued to anti-social media, etc. HUGE. EMFs are huuuuuge and are destroying more than people want to see because they are so flipping addicted!
Thank You Mark. Much Appreciated
😊😊😊Blessings
Habits of creature. lol Okay can anyone tell me if Red Light Therapy is helping them? I'm doing EVERYTHING right, addressing low cortisol and on NDT. My labs are perfect but still can't lose weight. Is RLT worth a shot or a waste of money?
is gluten free oats okay?
Your videos are getting harder and harder to watch. Please provided print-outs of all these tests that you are suggesting and maybe I can remember everything you are throwing out. You have absolutely helped me with my migraines and I suggest your name for others to watch you. But please slow down on all the information at one time.
dr mark . can you provide normal levels for those tests? and how to fix it ? i get lost in the scientific explanations. 😮😮 thanks.
.
I take sea kelp for iodine. Eat 2 Brazil nuts a day for selenium. Eat gluten free. Support my liver with livatone and dandelion tea because it helps convert t3 t4. And castor oil packs over liver and thyroid.
Maybe check Dr. Ken Barry's videos. He describes what tests are part of a full thyroid panel.
Hey, during perimenopause ie during 40s you often have thyroid issues
I do not sleep
Can we eat black wheat in hypothyroidism
Thank you so much ❤
Who can afford all this AND pay regular insurance. America needs to address this🤬
Everyone is selling something. What sounds true doesn’t last. You named every symptom know to man. Bad enough I bought every vitamin and supplement other RUclips doctors recommended but those who have their own brands are 10x more expensive.
There’s nothing left to eat!
I have taken Armour Thyroid for about 8 years with great results. I wish every Doctor would check the full Thyroid panel.
Yes, Yes, ...but they get a perk in their clinic to give Levothyroxine. I had a miserable time getting the clinic to convert and had to go to an endocrinologist ($40) copay.
I was told by an Endocrinologist in Frederick, MD just last year, "I practice corporate guidlines medicine, regardless of whether it injures patients or not and if you want something else, I will not help you because I would be fired." That was a conversation about Armour, which I got from my Lyme doctor. The endocrinologist also said, " There is more money in the treatment than the cure." They make the most money by keeping the patients sick.
I took levothyroxine for 40 years and it didn't do anything for symptoms of low thyroid. I changed to Armour and all symptoms were removed! 1 and 1/2 years now. (No side effects)
@@marybeth6676 where did you go to get the Armour thyroid filled if you don't mind me asking? An MD or Naturopath?
@@annettegiardino3728 a endocrinologist and got a referral from my clinic
Lovely content . Thankyou very much .
Why almost no body talk about hyperthyroidism
they do, it's just that hyper turns INTO hypo, so it's super rare for someone to stay at that hyper phase. There is a lot that almost nobody talks about....step by step, one thing at a time.
Hey @@Jennifer-gr7hn
I am the same age of my mother when she was diagnosed with hypothyroidism (age 31) and I am showing a lot of the signs and symptoms myself… I want to heal & balance my body naturally and avoid pharmaceuticals as much as possible. Thank you for this information.
I am on a healing journey 🌀
My mother was put on tranqs etc. never heard of the condition. UntilI read up my symptoms twelve years ago. After complaint of leaky gut.
Eventually I told the doctor what was wrong. Already allergies etc. given the usual uk med
But read about it. .?? That was enough. Also had high legal insomnia. Over twenty years.
Wish I could find a local therapist like dr. Hyman. Now reached high age take naturals etc. yoga. Forty odd yrs. dark haired .
Get frustrated as many affirm that I am much younger .stroke last year . No jabs. My health centre are pushing meds non stop
Find it very hard to get advice .get my ankle felt ! Then I know something has been arranged ? But waste of time
The brilliant advice. Can the tips be found ,to copy. . Thankyou
Niesha Berry did it with Food!
Check out her video on Ken Berry live on Mondays.
It would be interesting to know where those with thyroid issues live, whether it's possibly regional. A week after the Northrup train derailment in East Palestine, my thyroid became enlarged. I live at the bottom of the Mississippi River...
Is there any hope for vegetrains
Sorry this too long and got a bit boring....we have already read and heard of all symptoms....we heard abt gluten....selenium..and iodine...nothing new...
Can you suggest more natural remedies,minerals etc., that are not synthetic?❤
Some things we need for good thyroid function are
- 75mcg to 350 mcg iodide in diet (but not too much more as otherwise it reverses into worsening hypothyroidism) (cow's milk is a good source or goats milk if can't tolerate) (salt in America is already loaded with it)
- need to be out of iron deficiency and probably copper deficiency
- need some carbohydrate intake
- maybe need some selenium, found in meat
- need to avoid PUFA polyunsaturated fats (seed oils) as they inhibit thyroid
- maybe need to lower estrogen if it's too high, with things like hesperidin in orange juice potentially
I take sea kelp for iodine, eat 2 Brazil nuts a day for selenium. I have also have read if your liver is off it can mess with your thyroid, so supporting your liver should also help because it helps convert t3 t4, so I take livatone and drink dandelion tea. Then you can use castor oil packs on your liver and over your thyroid.

Please talk about subclinical hyperthyroidism. Thank you.
Yes! No one ever talks about hyperthyroidism, I can’t find help anywhere
@@saaa.aa9578 See an endocrinologist! They specialize in all thyroid diseases in addition to diabetes, etc.
WHY isn’t most talking about it? Graves disease
...that's what I'm talkin about!
Yes please also talk about thyroid nodules and RAI … and what happens after RAI
The grains that have gluten and gliaden are mostly GMO and have huge amounts of glyphosate in and on them. My theory is that the poison acts as an adjuvant in sensitizing us to the unnatural gluten in the GMOs which then cross reacts with our thyroid hormones.
Probably. I dropped all carbs.
Please don't make 10 min videos. If we wanted that lame type of coverage of topics, that's what tv & tik tok is for.

I have a month to improve or they will take my thyroid. Follicular neoplasm. So I don't have cancer but my throat is swollen. Lymph nodes. I see the ent doc in a week. What should I do? I don't feel good.
Yes maybe you in right but if is antiebody tested or other stuff yiu still can get t4 t3 maybe what else ????they told me in uk no point as is the same tretman. And i got hypothyroidism i got lots of stress i am overweight .I am using all vitamins what i know need for my case also i am in menopause and also i start taking ltironine i think that is call .Still not better at all just i am not on diet
I have Hashimotos. My blood test 2 days ago said my TSH is 15.2. I am type 1 diabetic with a glucose a1c 6.9. My free T4 is 1.02. I have fatigue, dry skin, thinning hair, depression and brain fog. I am on levothyroxine. have had Hashimotos for 30 years. 😢
Do you know your vitamin D levels? There seems to be a relationship between vit d deficiency and hashimotos
How long have you been on the thyroxine?
Damn.... Change your diet asap to thyroid Support'n nutrients!
way more than Vit D..@@ayy2193
Levothyroxine did nothing good for me. (40 years) I switched to Armour and I saw immediately that my dry skin went away plus mood changes too and more 👍
I've had doctor after doctor want to check my thyroid and every time it's normal levels. BUT after I got the Moderna shot I started feeling really bad and my thyroid antibodies went through the roof and was told by an endocrinologist that I just wait until enough is affected to show up in the tsh and whatever else. Never had Hashimoto's til Moderna.
Sounds like you have spike proteins that run rampant on the vaccinated. Check out supplements that help to reduce these spike proteins.
Does gluten free diet help Graves disease markers?
I had a thyroid problem but it's better now. But then last results I had last summer
Thanks Dr Hyman always giving us valuable info!!❤
The reason levothyroxine (Synthroid) doesnt work well for most people is that it only supplies T4, but not T3. You need BOTH. Ask your foctor for a full thyroid panel & antibodies and tell them you'd like to switch to Armour Thyroid.
It's a natural source (pig) of thyroid hormone, closely related to human thyroid, much more effective than the synthetic levothyroxine. Natural thyroid will likely make a significant difference if you suffer from hypothyroidism symptoms.
I did that but it became just too expensive. UK prices.

But still have severe fatigue. Aching lower back pain, joint pain at times. A while ago I was busy and didn’t know I was being bitten my mozzies. For two plus weeks had painful welts everywhere.
Never had that issue before.
Thinking minerals as down, yet bloods didn’t show this, so IDK.
So frustrating, so much for modern medicine.
Useless
What have you 2 tried for fixing thyroid so far?
I take sea kelp for iodine. Eat 2 Brazil nuts a day for selenium. Eat gluten free. Support my liver with livatone and dandelion tea because it helps convert t3 t4. And castor oil packs over liver and thyroid.
How do you prevent hashimotos?
Reduce stress
Stay away from processed foods , junk food, and grains.
Mark Hyman says: eliminate pretty much all foods except expensive supplements with salmon organ meat and a couple veggies... purify your air, water, skin, don't use any soaps, exercise & do breath work all day, buy a red light and sauna, sleep 9 hours every night
Good luck with all that in today's typical world. People would love to do those things but still have to work and run a household. Hopefully if they do the best they can, despite conventional medicine, they'll get better.

Levothyroxine affects gaba glutamine balance so it can cause anxiety, especially if you're stressed, levothyroxine can cause you to make reverse t3 which harms thyroid. It also affects histaminase so you may have allergy like symptoms: I had itchy skin. I am now addressing sibo instead as there is a found link between hypothyroidism and sibo. Btw, there's a correlation between much higher cancer rates and long term levothyroxine use.
what about armour?
How does levothyroxine cause cancer ?
I have been on thyroxine since 1998. I have never had problems whatsoever.
I’m have been hearing about the affect of glyphosate on the wheat crop. It seems like this could be a cause of wheat products causing issues on our gut!
yes, separates gut junctions and what gets through there, goes to the blood circulation
Yes glyphosate is used during the crop growth and after as a desiccant to prevent mold. Nasty stuff.
Question doc. I’m 30
weeks prego. What would a TSH level of .3 and. FT4 level of .3 indicate? Hypo or hyperthyroidism? Test results are hard to interpret.
My homeopath treated me for lyme and other tick diseases. My TPO antibodies went from 1,000 down to a few hundred, now down to.60. He believes there is no autoimmune disease. The body atracks itself because there is a.pathogen there.
Would you know any good blood testing in the UK and if you have any Uk conversion charts on the blood count optimal ranges as it’s gets very confusing.
What if all four tests for thyroid are normal and I still have every single symptom?
Be sure to check reverse T3
@@elizabethwilbur4322 will do, thank you!
Old Root canal 🦷 this is root cause of most auto immune disorders. Combine with co infections … Lyme mold ect .. 10 blood pass ozone will cure this . Root canal needs to be removed properly … by a biological dentist
Diet is of course important but honestly it’s not everything especially since once you go into menopause you loose your Estrogen which has to be replaced with bio identicals . Estrogen is needed for all women in menopause. This correlates with thyroid disorders.
Women go to see a hormone holistic dr specialist immediately
How can you stop buying food that's packaged in plastic? It's impossible. Literally everything is packaged in some form or other of plastic -- meats, cut fruit, cut vegetables, sauces, any dried foods, etc. It's fine to say we should avoid plastic on our food, but it's another thing altogether in practice. It's impossible. These guys should actually go to the grocery store sometime and do the weekly shopping.
So you find a local farm & buy from them.
20:26 - No wonder I still feel awful. I’m not even sure what normal feels like.
Early 90s when we began to search for things on the internet, I found that Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome seemed to describe my symptoms. It was too much of a hassle to do the temperature taking protocol and I let that fall by the wayside. My symptoms were not severe at all but they were there nevertheless. I’ve never had healthy eyebrows or thick hair. I’ve usually lost motivation to finish most bigger projects unless others were counting on me. About seven years ago, a coworker was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, and her symptoms did not quite line up with mine but I still was thinking that my symptoms were thyroid related. In the last six months I’ve re-researched it and have added iodine to my morning coffee. What a difference! By day two I was doing “normal” stuff without even thinking about it. Finishing what I started. Taking the trash out more often. Keeping up with the laundry. Going to bed with a clean kitchen sink. I’m so grateful.
What kind of iodine? How do you take it?
Iodine tablets??? Drops???? WHERE CAN I ORDER THESE???
They are NOT available in shops??? PLEASE HELP US!!!
@@aemyay5169 WHERE CAN WE GET THESE DROPS!!!!
PLEASE???????
Lugol's iodine. 2 drops of 5% daily
My exwife takes straight T-3 for Hashimoto"s .
I am Hyperthyroid and I have major sleep problems
Thank you! Love listening to your content! Awesome info!
Low energy with benign goiter present. FNA done twice negative twice 68yo female slim. Follow up next week. Switched from keto to carnivore. 4 days ago.Feel really good. Have more energy all day.Weight lifting for muscle mass.
They will not treat you if they don’t get the lab results.
Have u calculated typical daily iodine (iodide) intake? If live outside the US
Also vitamin a deficiency might be worth a look into it there's a relationship between that and goiter
So only meat???
Stopping wheat products helped me more than anything. Turns out I have a bit of a wheat allergy; not gluten.
Low?!! I have high thyroid!! Please help with Graves’ disease!! Too often no one talks about it!!
yes...me too...
Settle down.
Yes, I have hyperthyroidism as well. I wish there’s more information about it.
Change your diet to help heal!
Curious what is considered to be the normal range at night, when levels naturally go lower.
My doctor runs a full thyroid panel every 6 months by my request. I want to see the full picture of how my thyroid is functioning not just a TSH. I look at my free levels and my reverse T3. When i was diagnosed my TSH was 90 and my TPO antibodies were over 30,000. I felt like death. There is also a great resource you can use to manage your thyroid health called Paloma Healthcare. You can do at home Labs and mail them in and meet with a doctor virtually. Can't say enough about them. Eat clean, low carbohydrates, gluten free
Thanks!
Wow! TPO 30,000! I got my antibodies down to around 60 at this point. Curious about reverse t3. If you have too much the T3 is not getting into the cells.
How do you clear that? I am vaguely remembering something about taking T3 only to clear RT3 Because the reverse form is made from t4.?
I’m confused about the synthetic versus natural thyroid medication. What are the advantages and risks of each method?
Do you have info like this about Hyper thyroid? I have Graves and its hard to find info
There was lots of talk about thyroid a couple of years ago. I was and am chronically depressed (which manifests itself as extreme fatigue, not as "sadness"). I also have many of the symptoms mentioned in the video. My GP agreed to do a thyroid test back then. Unfortunately, my result was on the border of the normal and hypo range so I didn't get a description :(
🚩Look for YOUR NORMAL not the “range normal”… I do well between 2 - 3
Try homeopathy if doctor is not giving prescription. Try Plant Based Whole Food Vegan diet.
Honestly this is all just so SO overwhelming - between the longevity routine, inflammatory reduction, microbiome protection and now reversal of thyroid and other underlying disorders. It's just too much... And we don't have functional Drs in Canada ... (Anyone know of one tell me !)
It's also so hard to do these gut resets when you're vegetarian .. or if you have a histamine sensitivity (can't do fish than)
Ugh ... If anyone has guidance as to where to start ...
Also... Would a naturopathic Dr do the same type of comprehensive testing that a functional doc would ?
Oxalates in vegetables, fruit, nuts & seeds can lodge in the thyroid causing it to malfunction. In fact they can lodge anywhere & are the main cause of kidney stones. I try to limit intake to 150 mgs a day.
What a powerful informative video! Thank you!
This is great information.
I have recently had a TSH test and was told it was 17.80 and now my doctor wants me to get a thyroid scan. I don't think she checked the Free T3, Free T4 and Thyroid antibodies. I need to inquire.
You need HS-CRP, TPO and thyroglobulin tested (as well as Free T3 and Free T4). You probably also need a big diet change, and should do a functional LUGOL’s IODINE patch test, and then start supplementing. (Iodine must be Lugol’s 5%).
@@midwifemichelleThank you. Where would I find such a test?
@@71suns In my country a company called i-screen offers a "Comprehensive Thyroid Test" and an "Advanced Thyroid Check". You could search for either of those terms and a local service is likely to offer it. The comprehensive test checks more types of auto-antibodies and is more expensive.

Is there any study about the autoimmune conditions linked to vaccines use? I had mandatory flu shots yearly and hep B then came down with Hashimoto’s and a year later SLE.
I talked with more people who have an autoimmune disease after hepatitis B shot. A woman with ankylosing spondylitis. And some other people.. Its for sure a thing
Late reply, but please comment on the issue of possible vitamin D supplement poisoning people it's made from calciferol which is used to poison rats. Additionally, it can harden the arteries.
Is there a link between thyroid hormones and gallbladder? I have read that the gallbladder is a contributor to T3/T4. So if yours has been removed, you might be deficient.
Absolutely, you are correct!
totally related, everything is. Gallladder is GI/liver - liver congestion is the cause of 200 issues.
Raw peanuts? Wtf is he talking about? Who actually eats peanuts.
Also why does DR BROOKE GOLDNER say we should eat raw spinach and kale??
Who to believe.
Dr. Hyman I am 71 years old and had been on thyroid medicine for 30 years. I got sick and tired of taking it and weaned myself off of it two years ago. I feel fine. Have not had any over-the-counter medication‘s in about 25+ years absolutely none. No Tylenol no Advil no cough syrup nothing and the doctors look at me as if I am a freak or something! I basically have been doing everything you said should be done that I can do. The doctors are devastated because it’s been over almost 2 year now and my labs are completely off the chart. Nevertheless I feel better than ever. How would you dealwith those type of patients. Doctors often ask me what do I use for pain when I have it and I tell them I find most of my medicine in my kitchen! I would really love to sit down and have a conversation with you.
What do you mean your lab work is off the charts??? Good off or bad off???
Same question. Is it bad or good ? My TSH went up to 21.4 after quitting Levothyroxine. I guess you can help too ..
Several of us are wondering what you mean by "off the charts." Are you saying that your labs show that you are very hypothyroid but since you feel fine, you aren't going to treat it? I would keep doing what you are doing; I took Synthroid for years and didn't feel any better on it.
Sorry for the delay everyone. I should have made it clear when I stated my labs work was off the charts. My apology. My labs were extremely bad. My doctor just ask me how am I feeling and I told him I feel better and that my bones felt stronger. He doesn’t pressure me to take them either way. He still calls in a prescription to the pharmacy for me but I never pick it up. However if it all possible I will try to find a doctor that specialize in hypothyroidism and know what they are doing. Another thing. Some years ago I became a raw foodie and was eating everything from the Earth nothing cook for almost 2 years and my doctor lower my thyroid medication twice in six months. At the time I was eating mostly raw kale, broccoli, collards and a huge amount of raw foods they said we should not eat with hypothyroidism. Yet my doctor lower my medication dose twice in six months. I truly wish someone would stop the madness and get to the bottom of the truth! Until then I guess I would be my own guinea pig with God’s blessing I will survive whatever the outcome. I truly want to be medication free! And that is from all pharmaceuticals absolutely!
@@vanessaross3458 oh ok . Thank you for clearing it up . Wishing you best . I’m in the same situation right now.

Jennifer, why can't I respond to your comment,? I'll come back later when I wake up some more.
The medicine industry LOVES to give labels. Apparently once a label is applied to your symptoms and a prescription is matched to the label...THEY feel much better! 😂.... unfortunately too many of us don't feel better!

I am hypothyroid-- Hashi-- I came off my Synthroid in February to have a Thyroid Uptake scan done which was 2 weeks ago. Hope to hear about my results tomorrow. However, I feel so good being off my Synthroid. Its been 9 weeks since I've been off of it now. While on it, i would have cardiac events like tachycardia early in the mornings when id wake up. My heart rate would jump up to 144 bpm . Made me feel like i was having a heart attack. I have not had one of those episodes since I've been off the medication. Im terrified of going back on any thyroid meds once they tell me my results from my thyroid scan.
What would be your opinion on how to start back on something ??
Fyi. Great video. But you are staring down at your screen and it appears you are just reading an article or written document on your screen to us. It would be more effective if you were looking eye-to-eye with us.
I think he just prepared a lot of material with research and is referring to his own notes. There is a lot of medical info that can't be ad libbed. People on TV read through teleprompters maintaining eye contact while they lie and gas light us. DR Hyman is honest and well researched. I prefer this real approach over polished media styles personally. But I see your point.
What is parathyroid?
Parathyroids are 4 small glands about the size of a grain of rice and they sit behind the thyroid. Their sole job is to regulate calcium levels in the blood to maintain a pretty strict balance. If the calcium level drops, the parathyroids send out the parathyroid hormone which tells the bones to release calcium. Dysfunction of the parathyroid can cause hypercalcemia and osteoporosis. Detected by blood testing. The parathyroids play up if they have a growth on them. This growth maybe on 1 or more of the glands. And must be operated on.
