      Just thought I would add this FYI. After much research I found it to be my gallbladder was compacted with fat stones as well as my liver. One day my blood preassure was 73/27. I could have died. I did not want my gallbladder removed and if I had gone to the emergency room I would have next been sent to the opperating table. Instead I did a liver and gallbaladder flush 3,000 stones came out in my first flush and my blood preassure went up. It was not yet normal but it gained 20/20. After approx. 3 to 4 flushes BP was almost normal. After 7 flushes it was back to normal and now I'm on my 9th flush over the past year. So mine was caused by a fatty liver/gallbladder from eating too many carbs such as breads, chips, crackers, beer and cookies. Sugar also helped this. Also note I never gained weight. I'm 51 and lok 35 and athletic build. I hope this helps somebody out there.

    When our understandings change, there is very naturally a lag time. Currently we are changing our understandings about how the body works when symptoms are not masked. The last century gave the medical professionals the ability to mask any symptoms that were indicators of imbalances. Some of us are now interpreting the symptoms and correcting the problem. This is very empowering. Thank you.

    I thought you might be interested in my story. I had most of my thyroid removed at age 11 due to hyperthyroid. Longtime allergies as a child. Leaky gut for sure (I was adopted and bottle feed). Anyway, they left a little piece in and in my twenties, I did a macrobiotic diet which contains a lot of sea veggies and fermented miso, which I consumed daily for years. By the age of 30, I went from possibly having Hashimotos to having grown the thyroid back. That was confirmed by an ultrasound in my thirties when it was functioning normally. I’ve had issues over the years off and on depending on diet and lifestyle. Certain herbs, supplements and foods have been helpful and those have changed with age. Treating my microbiome with pre and probiotic foods has been key as well. Anyway, not everyday you hear about an organ regrowing (from a small bit that was left in), but here I am. Thanks for your very helpful videos.

      Klej Lf seaweed stimulates thyroid function so it feeds the gland. I ate a bit every day when eating according to macrobiotics . Also, miso soup pretty much everyday like they do in Japan. That heals the gut lining which is essential in healing any chronic illness. They rest of diet was whole grains, beans, legumes, and veggies and some fermented pickles too. All whole organic food as much as possible. It’s also crucial to filter the fluoride and chlorine out of your water. A big Berkeley is the best in my opinion.

That’s 3 years ago, and I feel so much better. I am now getting my daily Elthyrone dose adjusted. Thank you SO MUCH for making people aware of the importance in treating the core issue!

      Hi, You are so lucky to have a daughter that is a natural path I wish I had went that route instead of a business degree. I’ve been sick for quite some time, diagnosed with Hashimoto’s but my thyroid tests normal, even with thorough holistic testing. I do have bad allergies both food and airborne as well as leaky gut. Wondering if you would share what you did to treat your allergies As well as leaky gut. I know the basics with leaky gut, but can’t seem to get it under control. Thank you so much. Glad u are better!

    Thankyou so much Dr Ekberg! You are the only one I have come across who has mentioned that a TSH of 0.5 to 1.8 can actually be functional hypothyroid. I had a TSH of 1.14 which is considered normal by my doctors and many others online. I had hypothyroid symptoms though so I was left wondering. The underperforming pituitary gland makes sense to me.
    It is a shame that many people are suffering and go undiagnosed because of this difference of opinion.

    How I wish I had heard what you have to say here in this helpfully informative video before I let anyone take out my thyroid. So many people seem to display problematic symptoms with their thyroid, many go undetected by conventional medical protocols. This video will be shared with others so maybe they could be pointed into a clearer direction than I was concerning their own health. Being made aware of the underlying factors concerning the thyroid's imbalances are the key to knowing how to set the direction of how to achieve wellness. Autoimmune conditions seem to prevail in this country to the point where the general population believes that looking and feeling sick is normal.

Thankfully, the results of his thyroid sonogram didn't show any tumors, nodules, or anything else abnormal. I've been trying to learn all that I can about this new diagnosis of his so that I can help him cope in the best way that he can. This video was exponentially helpful, and I really appreciate the comprehendible way you broke it all down.

    I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease at 26. Took tapazole to suppress the gland and once it was “asleep” I began synthroid and took both concurrently for about a year. At that time I was taken off both and my glad was supposed to “re-set” itself. Had labs done every 6 months and levels were normal. First symptom I noticed was feeling jittery and nervous. I was always hot. When hot water from the tap poured over my hands my heart would skip beats! It was bizarre. Doc initially misdiagnosed me. I also had fast heart beat, insomnia, severe fatigue and despite eating normally with a great appetite I stayed very thin. It was terrible for several months. Once on the meds I felt so much better. I was told if my gland didn’t reset I would have to have radioactive iodine or surgery. I know several people who have been diagnosed with their cancer and some that have hashimotos or graves. Oh and I was also prescribed a beta blocker called tenormin to slow my heart rate. I remember carrying heavy bags up a flight of stairs and my heart was barely beating. It was weird. I would describe Graves’ disease as having your internal thermostat turned up to “high” and every function of your body was turned up several notches and was FAST. Strange feeling and the anxiety was bad. Like you’ve had 6 cups of coffee but feeling that way 24/7. No fun at all. And it is exhausting. You have no energy because you can’t sleep and you’re dragging through the day. It’s awful.

    I never had thyroid issues until I had to get radioactive iodine injected into me for an epidural cortisone injection for a herniated disc. I immediately had a reaction the second the procedure was over and my vitals all dropped. BP was 65/40 and heart rate was in the 30’s and I was covered in hives. About 1 month after that I started feeling a lump in my throat like when you’re trying not to cry during a movie. They had me do a CTscan and found a nodule on the right side. I’m convinced the iodine they injected caused this and now I’ve been dealing with bad fatigue as well as esophagus inflammation which I’m guessing is from stomach acid. Worst part is that the procedure for my herniated disc didn’t even help. I’ve gotten to the point that I don’t even trust a regular doctor anymore. But I’m not having much luck fixing my issues on my own either. 😣

    Thank you Dr. Ekberg, I have been had most of these symptoms for over 10 years. My pituitary glan was not working at maximum efficiency, was sent to a specialist who arranged for an MRI to be done but was told although it was enlarged there was nothing to worry about. Had many blood tests done which showed my Thyroid test showed it was on the low lever but within the recommended medical levels. After suffering from anxiety, depression and now CPTSD. Awaiting for my second blood test for final diagnosis and will be put on medication for Hyporthyroidism. Have learnt more from your video than I've gotten from Doctor's over past 10 years. Australian Dr's are under the control of big Pharma = illness symptoms, treat symptoms not the cause.

I have seen more doctors than I can count yet none of them has truly been able to work out my multitude of symptoms. I have even been told that I am looking for things because I wrote down a list of symptoms because I forget things but wanted to give them a full description of what is going on. It has been very frustrating and has only added to my feelings of depression. I fit into all 10 of the categories and whilst I am taking 50mg Levothyroxine daily I have not yet felt any change. I know it is a slow process so live in the hope that there will be an improvement after my next increase. Understanding is a tremendous help so thanks again.

Now what you have said makes sense very massive sense.

    Thank you Dr Ekberg for sharing and clarifying signs of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. I have been on Levothyroxine since 1992. I have hypo-t. I knew something was wrong 2 months ago. Symptoms were brittle nails, gaining weight and eating the same, feeling pudgy, slow and fatigued. Is was at 6.7 TSH level. Also, I have a nodule on my thyroid. Size has not changed in 15 years when it was first discovered. No recommendation was made by my provider and no change in my medication. It continued at 150 mcg levothyroxine. I think what caused it I was hungry in the morning and ate yogurt after taking my daily pills.
