I'm 60. Tried everything since being diagnosed at 29. Long story short, what's helped me the most is carnivore for 6 months. After my gut stabilized I worked back in non reactive foods. If i got a reaction I knew not to eat it. If no reaction I ate small amounts. This is where I am now. Non reactive foods are squash, peas, green beans, only fresh cut onion, bone stock (homemade), kefir, dark chocolate, again small amounts. Onions grow mold quickly so if i cut one i ate it immediately or cooked it. All foods are organic, grass fed, i have hens for eggs. I suspect our fruits and vegetables are both poisoned with roundup, and genetically modified and this is why it makes me sick. I am feeling better than i did when I was in my teens. Not 100% but better than when i ate vegetarian, vegan, paleo, fodmap, etc... and all the other diets.
@julieellis6793 I get bored and am concerned about the mRNA vaccines that will be put in livestock soon. This new technology is not just for humans. I also get constipated too easily, so I'm trying to stroke a balance. I think I need some plant material for a healthy microbiome.
You said you would get a reaction from certain foods What did a reaction look like for you, as in how did you know you weren’t dealing well with that food and which foods caused reactions? Thank you 🙏
😭 Thank you!! My TPO is 51, everything else is normal on my thyroid panel, and I read to cut out dairy. 😮 My diet is animal based, so that really threw me. I’m happy to hear your perspective, because dairy causes me zero issues that I know of, and I definitely want to keep it in my diet! Thank you again!! 🙏🏻
I’m glad I’ve found your science-backed videos on Hashimoto’s. I’m 64, a registered dietitian, food editor, and foodie diagnosed with Hashimoto’s years ago in my early 40s. Every doctor I’ve been to says I need to stop eating gluten. A friend constantly berates me for not doing so, as she also has Hashimoto’s and has cut out gluten (personally, I’ve not heard her say it has benefited her in any way except that she lost weight). Thank you for your balanced perspective. Cutting out foods will impact my love of eating and cooking. Essentially, my enjoyment of life. I agree 100 percent that chasing numbers is not productive, especially when I found I felt better when my doctor freaked out when my TSH was “low” and she said I was hyperthyroid. Now it’s back up, due to lowering my medication, and I have zero energy and have gained 20 pounds. No one ever bothered to ask how I was feeling.
I Guess I'm struck by your gluten free friends wt loss as a Sign she needed to cut gluten and your unwillingness to give it a try.... Why wouldn't you want to See if it helped you. 2nd if not, then on to the next possibility, the Only way to advance is Action Steps! Are you just confused or depressed Over everything and Have'n a hard time do'n the simple things like cut'n gluten a known issue for thyroid, cause what if things improved and you were able to see results, wouldn't that be a Good thing!?!

Great info! I was full on Keto for a few years but have shifted to Paleo/Mediterranean. Learning keto taught me good eating habits. I feel better adding in small amounts of QUALITY carbs. Cutting out eggs, mainly yokes dropped my thyroid antibodies from 900 to below 200. I was bummed as eggs are nutrient dense. I Had to add in small amount of iodine after cutting out eggs, this small loss of iodine showed up in my thyroid labs immediately. Keep plugging away people!
@@les9058 Hi - for some strange reason egg yolks elevate my thyroid anti-bodies. One doctor theorizes that the Epstein-Barr virus can hide in your thyroid and it uses egg yolks as fuel
Do not eat yolks just whites get the other nutrients needed from other foods or vitamins ! my numbers were perfect for months until I added the yolks, then a sudden huge spike! I am not liable for my advice, always ask your doctor first and get a second or third opinion
Thank you so much for this! I have TPO 277kU/I and TG 518IU/m and have been so worried. I was about to embark on a restrictive diet and expensive supplement protocol recommended by another well known doctor but I feel much happier that my TPO is in the below 500 risk range. I will start using these 3 tips instead. So grateful for you and your content, thank you, thank you, thank you ❤
Cutting out gluten dairy flouride and ate less processed foods reduced my caffeine and found I felt better ❤I suspect the glyphosate and other processing like pasteurisation or additives/ preservatives is not helpful to health 😊
Great information! I get what you are saying about gluten, but what about the idea that its consumption can be a trigger for various other autoimmune diseases besides hashimotos? I went 100% gluten, dairy, and soy free when I found out I have tpo antibodies (plus only mildly elevated TSH with other thyroid markers normal) because of strong family history of hashimotos (both sisters) and other autoimmunity in grandparents and parents. Sometimes I feel like maybe I'm being too overly cautious. My tpo antibodies are not very high; being GF for 2 years lowered them from 70 to 50. And my symptoms of fatigue, etc were actually from extremely low ferritin. But I see relatives with other autoimmune conditions like ulcerative colitis and I'm trying to prevent that. But I do feel kind of food obsessed most of the time.
Have you seen anyone with Hashimoto’s TPO antibodies double over time and then present with angioedema and urticaria? No-one ever speaks about this but there is a clear connection.
I am not sure if you talked about that here, but... I saw a video of an endo, who mostly work with Hashimoto's patients, saying that Hashi anti-bodies don't only attack our thyroids, and she mentioned patients who removed their thyroid and the same anti-bodies started to attack other organs...Any comment on that?
I've heard from other doctors as well as you that a Paleo diet is good for Autoimmune caused hypothyroidism, which is what I have, but in the government articles that you posted. One article says to have a lot of plants instead of a lot of meat. Along with my Hashimoto's hypothyroidism, I also have gall stones. After being a Vegan for over a year and eating a lot of soy, I have now no soy at all and no dairy or wheat, because of the lack of protein, due to excluding soy, I have now reintroduced Fish, Turkey, Chicken and once a week Steak, as well as eggs once a week. When I was eating like this before, I had high cholesterol. After going on the vegan diet, I no longer needed cholesterol pills. I image I will need to take them again now that I am eating meat. Is there a way I can have one day a week with just vegan foods? If so which ones? I also am confused about lectins. I've read that Kelly Clarkson had autoimmune Hypothyroidism and got rid of it by lowing lectins. I'm not sure that diet would work for me due to my gall stones. I really like my plain cheerios or oatmeal in the morning. I can't seem to go to the bathroom without it. I also have IBS with constipation.
Great video, thank you. Very encouraging for us with elevated tpo (tsh normal range). I'm working on my gut as I've had dysbiosis and i think all my autoimmunity had to do with that. Would you suggest for people with higher tpo to do blood test for iodine, selenium, Zink, inositol, but especially iodine? I was going to supplement with lugol iodine but don't want to risk getting too much iodine in case i have enough...? Also i guess if i take half of Brazil nut with all three of my main meals(which has inositol in it) it would be a good option instead of having have to buy a supplement. Also more bio available natural form possibly.
What about the cases where ultrasound finds evidence of hashimoto´s, but no hypotyriosm is present. Do these cases belong to the 20% with "TPO only" or to the 5% with "TPO + ultrasound"? Also the fact that only 25% of hashimoto patients have hypothyrioism at one moment does not mean that the remaining 75% will never develop hyptohyrioism, right? If only hyptohyrioism is a problem with hashimoto´s, why do so many people with the desease with a perfectly functional thyroid gland experience a wealth of problems? I wouldn't care about hashimoto´s, if I was not suffering immensely.
Carnivore worked VERY well for getting my antibodies to normal level. I tried literally every diet before trying this and none worked. Carnivore didn't work well in the long term, but it made a fantastic elimination diet. I'd say try it for a month or two, then add foods one at a time to see how you feel. What worked for me was most fruits, some tubers and occasional white rice
@Dr.MichaelRuscio I'm struggling to get access to the full paper you mentioned for the TPO risk assessment (I've only found the full text on Thieme that my University doesn't have access to). Did you know any papers or information on the risk of developing Hypothyroidism at levels >1300 IU/mL of TPO?
So what about hormonas testing for estrogen levels which coinciden with thyroid how to figure that out am as well not able to eat gluten get food poison very easy scare to eat out only eating salads greens and tubers sometimes I feel totally confused by all this bloating everytime I eat and have fibroid on my right thyroid.please any answers to this? Could you have video about? Thanks soo much from Atlanta georgia by the am also italian in my blood. Which my doctor told me it makes matters worse.so I feel lost.
I was diagnosed hypothyroid due to a blood test. Reflecting on the symptoms I found, i have had this a long time. Most likely this is Hashimoto's. More testing is coming. TSH WAS 94 in jan. may -its 15. still 3x normal. I am taking levo, and I cut ALL SUGAR, nearly ALL CARBS...i eat meat-eggs-bacon-and salad (greek style). I feel 10000% better, numbers improving, 60 lbs have fallen off me in 4 months NO BREAD. NO OATMEAL. NO PASTA. NO CARBS. NO SUGAR. NOTHING FROM A BOX. NO ICE CREAM. Thrown out all garbage in pantry with hi fructose corn syrup and all other POISONS we are being fed for LONGER SHELF LIFE and cheaper materials FOR WALL ST PROFIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kinda Carnivore with salads and some vegs. ALOT of WATER!!!!!!! I hope I help 1 person out there, because I was in bad shape and felt soooooo bad. EAT to CURE this. This may be the reason sooooooo many people are OBESE...and I was Obese. Help Yourself!!!!!!!!!
So I'm on Armour thyroid 60mg. I've been on it for for almost a year after being officially diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I am pregnant now and took a thyroid panel last week. My tsh is 2.16, t4 free is .8, but THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES test result is 231 which is marked as high... Is that normal me given I'm already taking medication? Does that mean that I went from having Hypothyroidism to Hashimoto's?

Regarding gluten...does it mean, that gluten free diet makes sense only when someone with HT has gluten intolerance or celiac desease? I am 34 year old man, anti TPO 43. No symptoms. Now I am confused, if gluten free diet makes any sense to decrease anti TPO and avoid hyperthyroidism in the future.
I’ve been on thyroid meds for 23 years hate it I have all the side affects. Went off and felt amazing but dr. Said I had to go back on it and I feel terrible with all side affects back.

@@Sunshine-72 I hope you will! Standard process is good, but there are lots of good glandulars out there. My chiropractor is putting me on a parasite cleanse, as he says that parasites cause auto immune disease, and he says I’ve got them!
I have Hashimoto's and Hypothyroidism (75mcg levothyroxine). My celiac tests came out with only Gliadin IgG elevated and others well below the lower limits. Does this mean I should eliminate gluten?
Marijanovic, if you have coeliac, I understand it is for life. My gastroentrologist discussed my blood test and said I only had 1% of gluten. The allowance is up to 6%, so I am doing well. He never said it was OK to start gluten. I currently take 100mcg. Waiting to complete current prescription and then start on 75mcg with various supplements and diet without soya, gluten and dairy and check in April blood test results if 75mcg keeps in the required range.
I mean you cannot gluten for life, as it is connected with autoimmune disease, which includes hypothyroid. I wish to get rid of levothyroxin prescription. I also need to improve my osteoporosis and osteopaenia. Also not having gluten avoids any other AI related diseases. So I would suggest to continue gluten free diet forever. So much choice these days, though expensive.

What is low thyroid without any high antibodies
Great video, thank you. Very encouraging for us with elevated tpo (tsh normal range).
I'm working on my gut as I've had dysbiosis and i think all my autoimmunity had to do with that.
Would you suggest for people with higher tpo to do blood test for iodine, selenium, Zink, inositol, but especially iodine?
I was going to supplement with lugol iodine but don't want to risk getting too much iodine in case i have enough...?
Also i guess if i take half of Brazil nut with all three of my main meals(which has inositol in it) it would be a good option instead of having have to buy a supplement. Also more bio available natural form possibly.
Do not supplement iodine. You get plenty in your diet. You only need 50-200mcg/day. More is toxic! It gave me Hashi.

I hope you will! Standard process is good, but there are lots of good glandulars out there. My chiropractor is putting me on a parasite cleanse, as he says that parasites cause auto immune disease, and he says I’ve got them!
What side affects ... And why did Dr say go back on, was your test scores showing you still had an issue?
I have Hashimoto's and Hypothyroidism (75mcg levothyroxine). My celiac tests came out with only Gliadin IgG elevated and others well below the lower limits. Does this mean I should eliminate gluten?
I would encourage you to experiment and see how you feel, check in with your doctor first.
Marijanovic, if you have coeliac, I understand it is for life. My gastroentrologist discussed my blood test and said I only had 1% of gluten. The allowance is up to 6%, so I am doing well. He never said it was OK to start gluten. I currently take 100mcg. Waiting to complete current prescription and then start on 75mcg with various supplements and diet without soya, gluten and dairy and check in April blood test results if 75mcg keeps in the required range.
I mean you cannot gluten for life, as it is connected with autoimmune disease, which includes hypothyroid. I wish to get rid of levothyroxin prescription. I also need to improve my osteoporosis and osteopaenia. Also not having gluten avoids any other AI related diseases. So I would suggest to continue gluten free diet forever. So much choice these days, though expensive.
Is TPO 28 good?
The research done by Dr Terry Wahls has yielded remarkable results for patients with various autoimmune conditions besides M.S.
Like what are the results and how achieved?
