@@leahdarley2565 I have Hashimotos also, and I eliminated a lot of foods I very much enjoyed -- especially in the carb area, like Italian foods, etc. I simply look at the sacrifice this way . . . which would I rather have: a temporary pleasure with lots of irritation, inflammation, and pain following . . . or be relatively pain-free. The question pretty much answers itself, with the pain seenmg to dictate the answer.
@@russmaleartist I have already eliminated a lot of foods. I really don't eat carbs and I haven't since about 2011. My gut doesn't like dairy or eggs. The egg part is really hard to do without. I don't have pain associated with my Hashi. I really struggle with the weight coming off. I would like to lose about 20-25lbs but at this point I would take 15. I just started taking meds early this year so the functional med dr I'm working with is still adjusting my dosage to get it optimal.
Thanks to both of you for sharing this, so happy for you Neisha! and it gives hope to us other Hashi patients. Hashimoto's is so misunderstood and despairing! I have been unable to find adequate help for decades now and have tried so manuy things and so many different kinds of doctors. I cannot find a functional doctor who knows anything about all of this in Italy. So now I am without a doctor and without meds, and mostly feeling exhausted, drained and depressed, overweight and all the rest we know of sypmtoms. I keep self educating myself with books and online. I am currently being extremely strict with the keto diet and if I can now do 17 hours daily. It's been over a month but nothing has happened yet. I am still trying and hoping...I am 49 and have insulin resistence on top of Hashimoto's, EBV, chronic fatigue, fybromialgia, adrenal fatigue, and other things I have been told without finding relief. the worst is the depression and the exhaustion, which just go hand in hand. I really hope if I stick to it something will happen...
My labs for pretty much everything were abnormal since I was 12 years old. PCOS, IBS, insulin resistant, high cholesterol, couldn't control my weight. I was so inflamed. Went through this and following a "health" diet with lots of whole grains and fruits and veg and was never full and kept getting sicker and fatter. 3 years into keto my labs are perfect and I am 28. First time in my life.
I was diagnosed at 42 with hashimotos. . Major joint pain, brain fog, weight gain with going to the gym 3x's/wk and "eating healthy". Family history of thyroid probs.. . Making it short went on meds, worked for about 3 mos. In July found Dr. Berry, went on strict carnivore, first 2 weeks dropped 5lbs and joint pain GONE!! Now on diet like yours, mostly carnivore with veggies. Went off my meds a month ago and for the first time in forever had a 28 day cycle 🎉. Thank you for all you do ❤
I stumbled upon an early type of functional medicine MD in Austin (Dr. Ron Manzanero) more than 20 years ago after I was so sick with hypothyroidism that I could not get out of bed and he met with me for over an hour. He wrote on his prescription pad and handed me the note: "never allow a doctor to determine how you feel." I sat there and cried like a baby. I began my healing journey that day and am now a spit fire who gets shit done every day. I am 55 with no arthritis, etc. I would add to what my good MD wrote on his prescription pad: "never let your lab results drive how you feel or how you heal!"
wow, I am so happy to read that, my Hashimoto's has been and still is, ruining my life and I cannot find a doctor in Italy who has a clue...I sort of gave up on doctors, although I am still searching, and trying to cure myself alone...
@@anniephenix Wow, that is a lot for a mere mortal to survive! What happens to a surgeon who is such a menace/liability to clients? Does one sue them or hospital after being irreversibly maimed to receive $1,000,000 or what?
@@lindasunderlin6936 we consulted with some top Texas lawyers and MDs. they said we would have no valid case because while he had me under and he hacked out half my thyroid he found a "nodule" (non cancerous) so I was advised to be grateful he found it ... meanwhile I later learned that MANY women have harmless thyroid nodules. It began my deep dislike and suspicion of the medical community and why I try to stay as healthy as I can so I can avoid interacting with it. I do love good and smart people like Neisha and Dr Berry who are changing things on such a massive scale.
Awesome 👏! I have Hashimoto’s/hypothyroidism/asthma. I’m on my 5th day of carnivore and I feel great. I was diagnosed hypothyroidism about 17 years ago, Hashimoto’s over a year, asthma since I was a kid. I hope to come off my meds some day.
@@whatdoyouthinkal I wish I could say yes, but I’m not there yet. My T4 levels are still all over the place. I’m feeling better, but still fighting to be healthier.
Emily can you please tell me how your diet looks like exactly....Do you use supplements for micronutrients? What kind of fat do you use for cooking... olive oil, butter? And what about spices? I'm sorry for peppering you with all these questions, but my mother is suffering very much from this condition.
I have hashimotos. I have started keto bc I am a firm believer that nutrition is a HUGE factor to our health. I am so glad to find someone freely talking about it like you do. I don’t feel so alone.
Wow this video popped up on time!! I also got my lab results today and my Hashimoto’s is in remission after 3 months of carnivore! I am amazed. My thyroid is doing so well that my doctor actually believes I’m “sub clinical hypothyroid”. Will be doing labs again because she’s not believing it herself hahahaha. She says it may be a lab error but I know it’s the diet change. 😏🤗
Awww you guys are so cute together, I love it! I’m hypothyroid and got off my meds for the last 4 months, been mostly ketovore and my lab results came back great, my doctor wasn’t happy when I told her about the meds but didn’t complain when she saw my lab results! I really believe that paying close attention to our diet it’s the most important thing we can do for ourselves! Keep up the great work
Hi Ana, I have hypothyroid and started keto since February. If I read correctly you eat more meat that veggies sometimes right? How long did it take you to get off the medication? How many times did you do your blood work per months? Thank you for this post, it gives me hope of feeling better, losing weight and hopefully getting off the med
@@terihooper789 Take youtube comments with a pinch of salt I've been strict carnivore for 6 months 6 weeks ago my doc lowered my meds by 25mcg I was happy as i thought the diet was working but now 6 weeks after lower meds Im back to when i was originally diagnosed no energy hurting all over and totally depressed I called him but he wont put them back to what they were because he says the blood is in range I'm in UK and it's really difficult to change doctors
Thank you both so much, I was diagnosed with insulin resistance and Hashimoto’s in my 20’s I am now 62. I’ve worked really hard to stay healthy. I passed out in work from low blood sugar in my 20’s and thank God the Dr. at Emergency told me to eat protein! That was in the early 1980’s!! I’m now eating a keto diet. I feel better and better! Thanks for this video!
I’m late to the party but I have to tell you as someone who has struggled with Hashimoto and Graves for 20 years on and off (went into remission for a 7 years - ish) this is by far the most useful video I have seen EVER!
That’s great that you are able to go off of thyroid meds! Our whole family, husband, 6 kids, and I have Hashimoto’s. I went for years without a diagnosis. Even after I suffered a miscarriage and the doctor ran thyroid labs with a resulting TSH over 6, at the time the lab showed a TSH of 10 or under as normal, I was told my thyroid was fine! I’m glad that most doctors know better now and more labs have lowered the normal range for the TSH but you still have to have your own knowledge because still too many doctors have little education when it comes to thyroid health.
Great video and good work! I also have hashimotos...however...I had 1/2 my thyroid removed! But...keto has gotten me fully off meds...with just 1/2 of thyroid! I also stopped my med as I felt it was working against me while keto was trying to fix me! I was right! Almost 2 years no thyroid med...but just 1/2 a thyroid 😍 Firm believer that Food is Medicine! 👊🏻👍🏻
In 2018 was dx and antibodies were 2500s, yes seriously. Fast forward to today, just checked last week, and they are 89. During that period of time, I started researching about Hashimotos, I became a nurse, landed my first job at an integrative medicine office where we focused on thyroid management, weight loss with keto and IF, optimizing vitamins/minerals, and balancing hormones. Got myself on board and was successful in optimizing my own in these areas. And yes as of last week my tpo was 89. Amazing!
I am a Hashimoto patient. I am amazed that you work in an office that specializes in integrative Leto and IF with hormone balance. Where is your office located??? Thanks for your comment
@rebeccatotorica8141 We are in Morton, Illinois. And yes, I have not known too many doctors offices that specialize in this but if you look into any office under integrative or functional medicine category, they are what you need if you are interested. We continue to puzzle our patients primary care doctors with how we treat and how we manage to help patients reverse conditions like type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol. And they are finally able to losing weight and autoimmune symptoms disappear.
Because of you and Dr. Berry, I have started Keto. I also have Hashimotos. I have been doing it for a couple of weeks now, have lost weight and feel great! Thank you so much for sharing your story!!!
I'm so glad to have found your videos!!! I was diagnosed in 2000. My Dr moved, and all of my following drs said I no longer had hypothyroidism but my symptoms continued to worsen. I've just started changing my diet and I'm looking forward to feeling better. I will be watching all of your videos 😊 and Dr Berry's too. Thank you for sharing!!!
One way I love to have short bursts of exercise during the day or week is on my Bellicon rebounder. LOVE it for my lymphatic system and cellular health! Just 4 - 5 minutes of gentle bouncing, with not even lifting my feet off the mat, can do wonders.
Wow! Your lipid panel is amazing! You’re also half my age but yikes!! That is such a testimony!! I love this. You guys are the best for sharing your lives and proving that lamestream medicine is so far off. Thank you 🙏🏻
@@taylorholden9574 we are not alone. The medical field, even functional/holistic "dr's" are just awful. Gotta fight, kick, and scratch for every damn test! No compassion. I hear it from so many people. Its soooo sad. And we suffer......
Stephenie Noel yep. I asked my doctor for the tests Dr. Berry suggests. All I got was a flat out no with no reason other than he thinks I have a thyroid cyst. After my thyroid ultrasound, I’ll be going to an ENT. I’m hoping that goes better 🤞🏻 it’s really sad that patients are starting to have to do research that doctors should be doing.
This is a great video. I recently got labs back and my TPO and my number is 533 and I’m upset. So this video helped me!! You’re so fortune to have Dr. Berry on your side!
My hashis returned maybe 6 months ago after diet had reversed it. Listlessness sucks. I’ve returned to zero grain but only dropped sugar 5 days ago (dark chocolate chips sustained me they my exhaustion). I love vegetables and work at curtailing them while increasing butter and eggs (not a fan but I know they are good for me/my brain). I can’t bear my immediate heart palpitations from all types of thyroid meds....even had a stroke maybe related to them, luckily have recovered. I swear the huge dental work I had done invited Hashis back! Thanks for the inspiration.
Take vitamin D3 to raise your levels. It helps regulate the immune system. Also, try removing all dairy including that butter. Dairy was making my TPO antibodies go up.
My TPO antibodies have dropped from two things. I removed milk. It was making my TPO antibodies go up. And I found that vitamin D3 was lowering my antibodies at a fast rate. Vitamin D regulates the immune system. The vitamin D3 really needs to be between 60-90 and not at 30. I am taking 20,000 I.U.s of vitamin D3 per day.
Just make sure you are getting sufficient magnesium. Dr Carolyn Dean says that VitD requires Mg to transport it, so I assume that means you might be depleting Mg with your dosage of VitD. Check out her Pico formula ReMag. Excellent stuff!
Thank you for posting this. I have Hashimoto's or Grave's no one's really told me, but those words are all over my workups and not been doing very well, EVEN with supplementing D3 and Mag and eating 4 brazil nuts every morning for selenium. All of the above and below protocols done on my own from research, my Dr told me nothing of nutrition of course. Immediately, strictly gave up refined sugar, soy, corn in all their forms, ALL dairy and all grains. 6 mos and doing worse...I have a nodule growing fast on my thyroid too that they finally ultra-sound found as I felt like I have had a sore throat and flu for 1/2 a year...and it is over 2cm now since discovery in Sept '23 grown over 1 cm to now in Dec '23 but in Canada OH MY they keep telling me not to worry about it and I made a bit of a fuss, so I have a biopsy sched'd for MARCH! Everything I read in America, they would have biopsied right away! Our system is super broken it seems. That'll be 7 mos since I told Primary that I was feeling really bad...I don't think I can wait...I also have swollen nodes all over my neck and collarbone for months now - but no one has even palpated me all this time, my endocronologist appt is over the phone Jan 4th and it's not even Covid times? I am so confused, how do you treat me without seeing me, I am not just my bloodwork. I'm pretty scared INTERNALLY but putting on a brave face for my family, they know I'm "sick" but don't know just HOW bad I feel - so tired, I almost feel like giving up, but may try carnivore first, but no one is helping me, no CT scans allowed unless your primary deems it URGENT. Woops, rant...sorry, MY QUESTION was, just got new labs as I am not even on any thryroid meds yet, thanks doc! but soon I guess, she spoke of synthroid - all my labs are not good as of 2 days ago...TPH or O 217 the one that shoud be
That’s amazing thanks for sharing!! I’m taking 10,000 IU vitamin D3 felt kinda better but not noticeable for my hypothyroid symptoms but I’m gonna up it to 20,000. Don’t forget to take vitamin K2 with the vitamin D to avoid calcium build up in the wrong places! So every 10,000 D3 needs 100 mg of K2👍
Ohhh this makes me so happy and gives me even more faith in what the Berry Team has accomplished showing that the proper human diet should NEVER be altered to live a full healthy life. Great job !!! Neisha your one lucky healthy beautiful lady wife and mother. 💖 CONGRATULATIONS 👏💃(Finish that ☕coffee lol)
I am so happy for you!! I've seen great results from keto! I am determined to stay keto forever for my hashimotos. I may even lean more towards carnivore just by watching this!
Excellent labs. I too have put my Hashimoto's into remission this year and my most recent labs are very similar to yours. I think the key was due to keto and IF the past 2 years, and I just began carnivore in July, so am excited to see what labs show this coming December. I would love to be off thyroid meds as well. 😉
I love this I’m newly diagnosed and crying over this and that there’s hope!!! I’m trying keto for sure now! Thank you! And I’m now following you as of now!!!
First time i've heard my triglyercides 54 beaten. Great job! And for anyone worried about LDL on keto mine is 41 so you never know what it'll be. My HDL is 100. Keto is nothing to be scared of.
Thank you for posting about Hashimoto's and how your diet has improved your health. I started keto 12/4/2019 and need to lose 50 lbs. I'm halfway there. I wish I could show you the difference it has made already in my body. My face especially around my eyes was always swollen. Now it isn't. Im pretty sure I suffer from insulin resistance because the belly fat is not budging much. I'm currently trying IF, can make it 12 hours without snacking but when I try to do 20 hours I find I need a snack before then. I'm not giving up though. I also found that stress caused me to eat and crave the bad carbs. Being on keto is the only time I've ever been able to lose any weight at all. Wish I had tried it a long time ago. I'm also post menopause. I became menopausal at age 39. Diagnosed with Hashimoto's at age 35. I now 58.
I am so happy that keto/carnivore worked for you. I will warn other people that it made some of my symptoms worse, but I'm probably a rare case with a neurological condition in addition to Hashimoto's.
I’ve been doing carnivore for two weeks and my symptoms are a bit worse like fatigue and headaches etc. but I am less bloated. I know the transition period is the hardest so I’m sticking to it I keep reading that hypothyroid takes three months to get fixed on carnivore. I’m impatient lol I want result right away😅 but I’m not giving up
This is great news Neisha! Congratulations! I’ve been on levothyroxin for about 7 years. On a ketogenic diet for a year with IF and 24-36 hour fasts at least twice a month. My goal is to get off the medication and at times want to just stop taking it to see if I’ll feel ok. My recent labs came out good ( not as good as yours though) but I had taken the levothyroxin that morning of the blood draw (2:00 pm) in a fasted state . My doctor still says I need to be on this medication for the rest of my life! You’ve inspired me to try out carnivore despite the fact that I’ll miss my nuts and salads. Thank you for sharing. I don’t want to be at the mercy of prescription drugs.
The day I've been waiting for!! These are GREAT results!! I watched this with my husband late last night. I've been doing mostly carnivore, but not fully commiting. My husband said, "Are you going to jump all in and give it a try?". Heck yes! I had my Endocrinologist appointment a couple of weeks ago. My thyroid function is doing well even though I have Hashimoto's. My TPO is 130, TGab is 2. I'm on therapeutic levels of Vitamin D, and also put iodine in my coffee. My Dr. Doesn't have me on hormone replacements, yet. I'm still hoping to send it into remission with diet and exercise! I have a follow up in ten weeks. Congrats on your amazing numbers and thank you for sharing them with us!
Good for you. I am anxious to see my A1C later on this month as I have been very good on Keto for 6 weeks so far and fasting 16 hours. So far I am down about 13 lbs. too. Yay for me!
I’ve also been keto for a little over a month and I was previously controlling it with metformin with a A1C of 6.9 since keto I stopped taking it on my own and my blood sugars have yet to be over the 90’s even after eating. I’ve also lost weight but I don’t step on the scale because it’s more important to me the way I feel! Congratulations to you!
BIG Congratulations, Neisha! When I was on the S.A.D diet & menopausal I developed Hashimoto's symptoms, which were NOT proven by my labs, my doctor told me she could find nothing wrong but she could refer me to a psychologist. (Huh?!?) Then I went to DR. google with all my symptoms, which pointed to sugar/wheat products/high carb diet. I went low carb, now keto-ketovore and no symptoms since. Any stress (lack of sleep, poor diet, emotional stress, overwork, menopause, babies) will whack out everything further and labs are a snapshot of where you are at the time taken. Folk should view them as such and address diet as first culprit.
Thankyou for all your valuable information, I have thyroid auto immune disease and seem to always be battling one symptom of another. You are both like a breath of fresh air, when watching your videos I am nodding my head constantly . "Yes "at last someone fully understands. I am now eating keto and trying to do intermittent fasting.
Impressed, Neisha! I have been waiting to hear good news from the lab, since you always do your due diligence for accountability. Figured it would be positive. Happy too. Rah, rah, sis-boom-bah! Go Neisha!
I’m trying to navigate hypoparathyroidism, laying off pork/bacon and other high phosphorus foods in combination with ketovore and iodine I believe is slowly helping, wish I could get the bone popping under control (especially jaw/face), praying for continued healing.
I have a family history of low thyroid (grandfather died aged 54, my father died at 62 both with thyroid drying up therefore heart attacks). I had benign rumour on my thyroid in 1973, so half of ny thyroid was removed & I have been on synthroid ever since, though it has reduced from 1.25 mg to .75 mg. Keto diet helped me lose weight but I found it hard to stay on. I'm just starting Carnivore, so I'm delighted to see there are good numbers. Thank you both! 💖💕🇨🇦
Right on Neisha! I've always tracked my Hashi's with TPO antibodies with my N.D. We want them to be "negative" under 35 (SonoraQuest labs). That's remission. We can tell the state of my immune system based on my TPO counts. Immune symptoms are different then hypothyroid symptoms, although some can be related to both (inflammation, histamine reactions, stiff joints, etc.). My hypothyroid symptoms (body temp control, hair loss, brain fog, weight gain, etc.) are always consistent with my TSH (thyroid speed) and Reverse T3 (active thyroid hormone) numbers. My Hashimoto's was uncontrolled for so long, that my thyroid was damaged. That damage will require lifelong medication if it is unable to regenerate in long-term remission. It's important for folks to understand the difference between the immune system actively attacking self and the thyroid under producing. We also focus on keeping my vitamin D levels super high 80+ as vitamin D is critical for the immune system to be able to differentiate self from an infectious agent (I also have cancer history so proper cell function is a big deal). I follow keto customized to remove foods that are reactive to me. No dairy or gluten since they tend to follow autoimmune pathways of reactivity. Veggies are important for me for optimizing estrogen pathways since I tend to veer toward estrogen dominance. So I eat my Brussels. I also fast intermittently, I'm just not a breakfast person.
How do you know your thyroid was damaged? Did you have a scan done? I have had untreated Hashimotos symptoms for YEARS. Just last year I was diagnosed and my (former) dr basically said it’s no big deal and the discomfort in my throat is probably acid reflux and to take antacid 🙄 I’m paranoid as my sister was recently diagnosed as hypo and her thyroid is no longer making any hormone. A cousin has thyroid cancer. Waiting on updated lab results from a new dr (previous doc refused to test my thyroid again !). Should I request a scan?
@@tamlinchamberlain8590 Yes, I had an ultrasound done and the tissue is all scarred. It's possible that it could regenerate the longer I'm in remission, so we'll see. But so far, it hasn't, meds have been the same for the last 3 years in remission. I actually had a doctor tell me I didn't need thyroid meds when I was first diagnosed. He told me that it may help me with weight management, but otherwise, it's not a big deal. She was dead wrong. I started to lose my memory and my eyesight along with all the symptoms Neisha talks about. I'm glad you have found a new doctor!
I too have Hashimotos but my labs are way different than yours. My TPO was 2,957, TSH 12.7 and T4 0.6. I was on synthroid and I asked my doctor for an armour thyroid script instead. I have been following you & Dr Berry for 8 weeks, eating ketovoure, lost 10 pounds and feel much better! Will test again in 6 months and Hope to have results similar to yours.
I love this. I keep telling myself I need to check my labs for my mthfr for the last year to see how keto truly affected it. but, with my symptoms gone, I keep putting it off. now I'm just gonna do it
Neisha you look so pretty! Thank y’all for sharing this. I am positive (so is my husband who has hypothyroidism) that I have low thyroid BUT all my labs are always (“normal”). Usually the low end of normal.....My symptoms are so bad I wish I could find someone like you that would listen. I have honestly given up and am just going to work on diet.
I don’t think the carnivore diet alone is what healed the thyroid more than it is what you take out! I healed mine cutting out gluten, sugar and processed food. I still eat healthy carbs such as rice and do great! I get out of bed not feeling that I have a body to carry around, energy all day, alertness and sound mind! ❤️
Congratulations! Just more evidence of the benefit of KETO lifestyle. Thanks for posting this! My TSH number is elevated for the last three lipid panels. May try iodine drops and increase glutathione. Ketovore/Carnivore has literally saved my wife's life in just 2 months. Thank you for all you do!!!!!
Thank you for crunching the numbers. My TgAb was over 1200 and doctors didn't seem too worried. Had a TSH of 3.5 but symptoms as if it was at least 25 (sleeping 12-16hrs per day, immense swelling - ankles ballooned to the same size as my thighs, grape sized tumor in my thyroid and tones of others issues). Done gluten free, Whole30, AIP but it's keto that started improving my symptoms. I'm just at the beginning of the journey so videos like this are really informational and can help with motivation. Still long way to go but at least I'm moving the right direction.
I’ve been following paleo for a number of years and in June switched to keto . Just this morning I started worrying if that was ok for me. I forgot I have Hashimotos. And then this showed up for me today. Thank you. My doctor always recommended 12 hour IF but now do 18 and feel like that really works for me.
I have my antibodies at an optimal level , I feel great ,once in awhile I have arthritis pain in my right hip, I use red light therapy every night, no more pain ❤️❤️❤️
I would love to know where you got your red light? I have read a little about this. I tend to have pain in my hip and shoulder area. Currently fighting frozen shoulder in my left shoulder. I have already had it in my right.
A video on how to read your blood work would be awesome. 🚒 I’ve been on thyroid since I was 15. I have a growth growing on my thyroid I’m trying to shrink with carnivore and some cheese along with other stomach issues. I’m also a firefighter who is exposed to a lot of chemicals which I also feel caused my growth. But To better understanding on exactly how to read blood work would be awesome!! Especially with someone who believes this way of eating is essential for health. Thanks and great video
I had chemical toxicity as well. I ended up getting a sauna to treat it. I used the Niacin protocol but I haven’t retested r yet but I know my husband reduced his by a lot.
Fantastic! Just started carnivore a week ago and am looking forward to improvement in Hashi's soon. Tried AIP and made some progress *mostly weight loss* so I am hoping zero carb works better. This video was super helpful.
I’ve been in the ER 3 times with severely low potassium. Muscle spasms all over body could barely talk. Just now realized it’s hashimotos related!! No one told me. A week ago had urticaria vasculitis and fat left bruising. Again, no one says it’s hashimotos related. Started watching Neisha and realized she described me!! Fasting now and going carnivore from keto
Thank you for posting this! This gives me an idea on how to read my own blood work, which by the way would make a great RUclips video or video for the private FB group! 😬
Thank you so much for great information! I have Hashimoto’s also and have it under control taking Armour Thyroid 180 mg since 2017. I feel great! All symptoms are pretty much gone. I am however left with my stress eating issues that have always wanted me since having my last baby in 2010. Then I discovered carnivore and my life has changed for the better! I have only been carnivore for 45 days now and feel amazing and plan on continuing like this indefinitely. When did you realize that you wanted to get off your medication? Never thought such a thing could be possible.Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you and love you guys!
I’m happy for you and even though I don’t have Hashimotos .....good bloodwork is a real “high”! I’m 71 and have worn out shoulders (that need replacing)and osteoarthritis. Am hoping my labs in the future make me as happy as yours made you! This keto journey is exciting!
Awesome! I too have hashimoto's and have put mine in to remission with low-dose naltrexone and keto. My provider believes it's the LDN, but I've always thought it was keto. You've given me some things to think about - may be cutting out the LDN and NDT which would be great!!!
@@Janarae18 I did have a small reduction in my thyroid meds with starting LDN. I started the LDN and then went keto and didn't have my antibodies rechecked until I was doing both, but both antibody markers are now within normal limits. I did feel better after starting LDN, but felt a much more drastic improvement with starting keto.
My TSH is 16 😢 I was doing great for years, no symptoms and normal lab work but have had a rough 3 years and my symptoms are horrible, hair loss, weight gain, exhausted, can’t even function. So glad to find you, thanks to a wonderful friend. Are you still ketovore or are you carnivore now?
I took myself off of medications 10 years ago. Against doctors orders. I know I shouldn’t have done that BUT today I feel the best I have ever felt!!!! I will continue to follow my heart. I have 0 symptoms are not there anymore. The only thing I wish were better is my hair that’s it.
My doctor upped my Levo to 150mcg 5 weeks ago and now my resting heart rate is 88 and my heart races all day long. I'm going today instead of next week to get my labs done. I love Keto, but this is stressful. I've spent the day deep breathing, upping my electrolytes, sitting in bed and trying not to get up too fast, ugh! I love that you guys went over your detailed lab results in this video, thank you for all the info!
@@katierunnberg7997 thanks God. Take care. Have looked into IF? I am doing it and OMAD and it seems to be helping. I did use milk thistle too to clean up my liver and my energy is back now. Now I am learning about carnivore diet and I will be mixing it with keto. Happy Easter
@@DarkAngel-cj6sx Yep, I'm doing 14-16 hour fasting. I've been taking Ancestral Supplements (liver and bone marrow), just started. Keto has been great for me and I'm researching carnivore. I was wondering if my 22lb weight loss and new way of eating helped my thyroid and my meds really need to be adjusted. I'll find out tomorrow hopefully. You take care as well and thank you for all the info!
I’m so glad I found your channel! I am going through the whole hashimotos train right now☹️. I am going to try the keto in hopes that it helps me as it has you🤗
Brilliant Neisha Excellent work and thanks for sharing, so good to get a breakdown of lab results. In the UK we don’t get labs checked unless asked for, and then it’s a fight as NHS funding is so tight. So it’s so interesting to hear results and just how very low Keto physically impacts the body. 👌🏼
I need you to be my doctor. I have horrible fatigue and pain that I can no longer deal with. I will try one more time to get help. I will take care of it myself if I cannot be treated. The pain is devastating me. Thank you for sharing friends.
Thank you for making this video 🙏🏽 I too have Hashimoto’s and after taking medication for over 6 years I decided to get off. I’m slightly hypothyroid right now but I’m determined to get my life back and seeing your videos gives me hope and you both are heaven sent🙏🏽 God bless and I look forward to watching all your videos.
@@bobbiemauk1879hello👋! Well from my experience, I was taking 88mcg of levothyroxine and last year for about 4 months I was only taking half the tablet and by December I just completed stopped taking it. I did feel the consequences of it physically, mentally and emotionally but I was determined to keep going. Thankfully I found this page and have noticed that intermittent fasting and going carnivore has helped. I still have to educate myself about the lab work but one thing I can say,regardless of what my labs say… I feel amazing! I feel like myself again. My advice is keep doing research and listen to your body. I pray all goes well with you🙏🏽
Is a TPO antibody of 35 without diagnosed thyroid issues bad? It was 8 the year before but I was under tonnnnss of stress when I had them checked last time and they were 35. Tsh was 2.2. Free T4 1.8 and free T3 2.4..
Keisha’s Hashimoto’s numbers are so much better than mine. Mine is greater than 1000, & 15. My doctor gave me LDN ( low dose naltrexone 4.5). I still am very tired but body pain is better. So happy for such good numbers! Congratulations 🥳
Thank you for sharing your journey and results. It gives me encouragement since I have hypothyroidism. No one can argue with hard numbers! Good for you 👏
Love this video full of great information .I'm hossimodo thyroid autoimmune disease. And the doctors in uk took gallbladder out think it was my gallbladder then appendix I highly allergic to sulfite In food what making me really Ill and in lots of pain and asthmatic now I'm going keto see if it helps ... uk doctors haven't a clue thanks for information because doing my own research I'm helping my self by watching video like yours xoxo ❤👍👏😃
I have never had any symptoms but have bloodwork that says I have Hashimoto’s. And now psoriasis and one time I had iritis. I really want to get rid of any issues that require lifelong pharmaceuticals. I’m heading towards intermittent fasting and ketovore
Great video! Happy to hear you are doing well off of thyroid meds! I have Hashimoto’s and I would love to hear your advice on high estrogen levels with Hashimoto’s. Thank you!. .

For Hashimoto's, KETO + Intermittent Fasting is the Way
I can't get it to work for me. I can IF with no issues but KETO even without dairy doesn't seem to work. I guess I need to track my carbs.
Do you take new patients? I'm interested in seeing you if possible!
@@leahdarley2565 I have Hashimotos also, and I eliminated a lot of foods I very much enjoyed -- especially in the carb area, like Italian foods, etc. I simply look at the sacrifice this way . . . which would I rather have: a temporary pleasure with lots of irritation, inflammation, and pain following . . . or be relatively pain-free. The question pretty much answers itself, with the pain seenmg to dictate the answer.
@@russmaleartist I have already eliminated a lot of foods. I really don't eat carbs and I haven't since about 2011. My gut doesn't like dairy or eggs. The egg part is really hard to do without. I don't have pain associated with my Hashi. I really struggle with the weight coming off. I would like to lose about 20-25lbs but at this point I would take 15. I just started taking meds early this year so the functional med dr I'm working with is still adjusting my dosage to get it optimal.
Thanks to both of you for sharing this, so happy for you Neisha! and it gives hope to us other Hashi patients. Hashimoto's is so misunderstood and despairing! I have been unable to find adequate help for decades now and have tried so manuy things and so many different kinds of doctors. I cannot find a functional doctor who knows anything about all of this in Italy. So now I am without a doctor and without meds, and mostly feeling exhausted, drained and depressed, overweight and all the rest we know of sypmtoms. I keep self educating myself with books and online. I am currently being extremely strict with the keto diet and if I can now do 17 hours daily. It's been over a month but nothing has happened yet. I am still trying and hoping...I am 49 and have insulin resistence on top of Hashimoto's, EBV, chronic fatigue, fybromialgia, adrenal fatigue, and other things I have been told without finding relief. the worst is the depression and the exhaustion, which just go hand in hand. I really hope if I stick to it something will happen...
My labs for pretty much everything were abnormal since I was 12 years old. PCOS, IBS, insulin resistant, high cholesterol, couldn't control my weight. I was so inflamed. Went through this and following a "health" diet with lots of whole grains and fruits and veg and was never full and kept getting sicker and fatter. 3 years into keto my labs are perfect and I am 28. First time in my life.
I'm glad you became devoted to yourself and found the correct combination of macronutrients to heal yourself!
I love my DRs face when i tell them I eat fatty red meat, butter and eggs and liver primarily.
I bring 3 In-N-Outs to all my Dr. visits.
I was diagnosed at 42 with hashimotos. . Major joint pain, brain fog, weight gain with going to the gym 3x's/wk and "eating healthy". Family history of thyroid probs.. . Making it short went on meds, worked for about 3 mos. In July found Dr. Berry, went on strict carnivore, first 2 weeks dropped 5lbs and joint pain GONE!! Now on diet like yours, mostly carnivore with veggies. Went off my meds a month ago and for the first time in forever had a 28 day cycle 🎉. Thank you for all you do ❤
I stumbled upon an early type of functional medicine MD in Austin (Dr. Ron Manzanero) more than 20 years ago after I was so sick with hypothyroidism that I could not get out of bed and he met with me for over an hour. He wrote on his prescription pad and handed me the note: "never allow a doctor to determine how you feel." I sat there and cried like a baby. I began my healing journey that day and am now a spit fire who gets shit done every day. I am 55 with no arthritis, etc. I would add to what my good MD wrote on his prescription pad: "never let your lab results drive how you feel or how you heal!"
I love this!
wow, I am so happy to read that, my Hashimoto's has been and still is, ruining my life and I cannot find a doctor in Italy who has a clue...I sort of gave up on doctors, although I am still searching, and trying to cure myself alone...
Annie, are you indicating that you didn't take any medication to heal your body from possible thyroid or hashimoto super low energy situation?
@@anniephenix Wow, that is a lot for a mere mortal to survive! What happens to a surgeon who is such a menace/liability to clients? Does one sue them or hospital after being irreversibly maimed to receive $1,000,000 or what?
@@lindasunderlin6936 we consulted with some top Texas lawyers and MDs. they said we would have no valid case because while he had me under and he hacked out half my thyroid he found a "nodule" (non cancerous) so I was advised to be grateful he found it ... meanwhile I later learned that MANY women have harmless thyroid nodules. It began my deep dislike and suspicion of the medical community and why I try to stay as healthy as I can so I can avoid interacting with it. I do love good and smart people like Neisha and Dr Berry who are changing things on such a massive scale.
I had Hashimotos. On carnivore, I do not. Plus all of the thyroid labs are in not just normal range, but optimal! Also put MS into remission!
Awesome 👏! I have Hashimoto’s/hypothyroidism/asthma. I’m on my 5th day of carnivore and I feel great. I was diagnosed hypothyroidism about 17 years ago, Hashimoto’s over a year, asthma since I was a kid. I hope to come off my meds some day.
Congratulations!!!
@@katielane5833 did you put hashimoto in remission
@@whatdoyouthinkal I wish I could say yes, but I’m not there yet. My T4 levels are still all over the place. I’m feeling better, but still fighting to be healthier.
Emily can you please tell me how your diet looks like exactly....Do you use supplements for micronutrients? What kind of fat do you use for cooking... olive oil, butter? And what about spices? I'm sorry for peppering you with all these questions, but my mother is suffering very much from this condition.
I have hashimotos. I have started keto bc I am a firm believer that nutrition is a HUGE factor to our health. I am so glad to find someone freely talking about it like you do. I don’t feel so alone.
any improvements?
How are you doing now?
Wow this video popped up on time!! I also got my lab results today and my Hashimoto’s is in remission after 3 months of carnivore! I am amazed. My thyroid is doing so well that my doctor actually believes I’m “sub clinical hypothyroid”. Will be doing labs again because she’s not believing it herself hahahaha. She says it may be a lab error but I know it’s the diet change. 😏🤗
Well done Diane. Were you doing g any fasting while on a carnivore diet? Thank you in advance.
Congratulations! I’m subclinical hypothyroid right now so I plan on improving further too.
Wow, you are giving me hope!! ❤
Awww you guys are so cute together, I love it! I’m hypothyroid and got off my meds for the last 4 months, been mostly ketovore and my lab results came back great, my doctor wasn’t happy when I told her about the meds but didn’t complain when she saw my lab results! I really believe that paying close attention to our diet it’s the most important thing we can do for ourselves! Keep up the great work
Hi Ana,
I have hypothyroid and started keto since February. If I read correctly you eat more meat that veggies sometimes right? How long did it take you to get off the medication? How many times did you do your blood work per months?
Thank you for this post, it gives me hope of feeling better, losing weight and hopefully getting off the med
How did you come off your thyroid meds? Did you wean off slowly or do more of a cold turkey approach?
Ana - what is your tsh?
@@terihooper789 Take youtube comments with a pinch of salt I've been strict carnivore for 6 months 6 weeks ago my doc lowered my meds by 25mcg I was happy as i thought the diet was working but now 6 weeks after lower meds Im back to when i was originally diagnosed no energy hurting all over and totally depressed I called him but he wont put them back to what they were because he says the blood is in range I'm in UK and it's really difficult to change doctors
@terryhooper, I’m in the UK, that’s bad of your GP, they have no idea, I’ve gone private to see if I can go on NDT if required.
Thank you both so much, I was diagnosed with insulin resistance and Hashimoto’s in my 20’s I am now 62. I’ve worked really hard to stay healthy. I passed out in work from low blood sugar in my 20’s and thank God the Dr. at Emergency told me to eat protein! That was in the early 1980’s!!
I’m now eating a keto diet. I feel better and better! Thanks for this video!
I’m late to the party but I have to tell you as someone who has struggled with Hashimoto and Graves for 20 years on and off (went into remission for a 7 years - ish) this is by far the most useful video I have seen EVER!
How did you go into remission please?
How are you now?
That’s great that you are able to go off of thyroid meds! Our whole family, husband, 6 kids, and I have Hashimoto’s. I went for years without a diagnosis. Even after I suffered a miscarriage and the doctor ran thyroid labs with a resulting TSH over 6, at the time the lab showed a TSH of 10 or under as normal, I was told my thyroid was fine! I’m glad that most doctors know better now and more labs have lowered the normal range for the TSH but you still have to have your own knowledge because still too many doctors have little education when it comes to thyroid health.
Great video and good work! I also have hashimotos...however...I had 1/2 my thyroid removed! But...keto has gotten me fully off meds...with just 1/2 of thyroid! I also stopped my med as I felt it was working against me while keto was trying to fix me! I was right! Almost 2 years no thyroid med...but just 1/2 a thyroid 😍 Firm believer that Food is Medicine! 👊🏻👍🏻
In 2018 was dx and antibodies were 2500s, yes seriously. Fast forward to today, just checked last week, and they are 89. During that period of time, I started researching about Hashimotos, I became a nurse, landed my first job at an integrative medicine office where we focused on thyroid management, weight loss with keto and IF, optimizing vitamins/minerals, and balancing hormones. Got myself on board and was successful in optimizing my own in these areas. And yes as of last week my tpo was 89. Amazing!
I am a Hashimoto patient. I am amazed that you work in an office that specializes in integrative Leto and IF with hormone balance. Where is your office located???
Thanks for your comment
@rebeccatotorica8141 We are in Morton, Illinois. And yes, I have not known too many doctors offices that specialize in this but if you look into any office under integrative or functional medicine category, they are what you need if you are interested. We continue to puzzle our patients primary care doctors with how we treat and how we manage to help patients reverse conditions like type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol. And they are finally able to losing weight and autoimmune symptoms disappear.
Because of you and Dr. Berry, I have started Keto. I also have Hashimotos. I have been doing it for a couple of weeks now, have lost weight and feel great! Thank you so much for sharing your story!!!
Tammy, how are you doing now?
Good job Neisha! Thanks for this vlog, love seeing proof that this is the proper human diet 😏
I'm so glad to have found your videos!!! I was diagnosed in 2000. My Dr moved, and all of my following drs said I no longer had hypothyroidism but my symptoms continued to worsen. I've just started changing my diet and I'm looking forward to feeling better.
I will be watching all of your videos 😊 and Dr Berry's too. Thank you for sharing!!!
One way I love to have short bursts of exercise during the day or week is on my Bellicon rebounder. LOVE it for my lymphatic system and cellular health! Just 4 - 5 minutes of gentle bouncing, with not even lifting my feet off the mat, can do wonders.
I absolutely LOVE my rebounder! Something is always better than nothing and it's much easier on my poor knees and joints! 💖
Wow! Your lipid panel is amazing! You’re also half my age but yikes!! That is such a testimony!! I love this. You guys are the best for sharing your lives and proving that lamestream medicine is so far off. Thank you 🙏🏻
Good luck finding a dr who listens.....
I’m having that issue now 😥
@@taylorholden9574 we are not alone. The medical field, even functional/holistic "dr's" are just awful. Gotta fight, kick, and scratch for every damn test! No compassion. I hear it from so many people. Its soooo sad. And we suffer......
Stephenie Noel yep. I asked my doctor for the tests Dr. Berry suggests. All I got was a flat out no with no reason other than he thinks I have a thyroid cyst. After my thyroid ultrasound, I’ll be going to an ENT. I’m hoping that goes better 🤞🏻 it’s really sad that patients are starting to have to do research that doctors should be doing.
She is married to a Dr. who will listen.
Linda p.p. True. Hopefully they aren’t as rare as I think they are. I know I’m super glad that both are trying to help and are giving us so much info.
This is a great video. I recently got labs back and my TPO and my number is 533 and I’m upset. So this video helped me!! You’re so fortune to have Dr. Berry on your side!
My hashis returned maybe 6 months ago after diet had reversed it. Listlessness sucks. I’ve returned to zero grain but only dropped sugar 5 days ago (dark chocolate chips sustained me they my exhaustion). I love vegetables and work at curtailing them while increasing butter and eggs (not a fan but I know they are good for me/my brain). I can’t bear my immediate heart palpitations from all types of thyroid meds....even had a stroke maybe related to them, luckily have recovered. I swear the huge dental work I had done invited Hashis back! Thanks for the inspiration.
Take vitamin D3 to raise your levels. It helps regulate the immune system. Also, try removing all dairy including that butter. Dairy was making my TPO antibodies go up.
My TPO antibodies have dropped from two things. I removed milk. It was making my TPO antibodies go up. And I found that vitamin D3 was lowering my antibodies at a fast rate. Vitamin D regulates the immune system. The vitamin D3 really needs to be between 60-90 and not at 30. I am taking 20,000 I.U.s of vitamin D3 per day.
Just make sure you are getting sufficient magnesium. Dr Carolyn Dean says that VitD requires Mg to transport it, so I assume that means you might be depleting Mg with your dosage of VitD. Check out her Pico formula ReMag. Excellent stuff!
How are your vitamin d numbers now? And do you feel better or worse with different numbers?
Thank you for posting this. I have Hashimoto's or Grave's no one's really told me, but those words are all over my workups and not been doing very well, EVEN with supplementing D3 and Mag and eating 4 brazil nuts every morning for selenium. All of the above and below protocols done on my own from research, my Dr told me nothing of nutrition of course. Immediately, strictly gave up refined sugar, soy, corn in all their forms, ALL dairy and all grains. 6 mos and doing worse...I have a nodule growing fast on my thyroid too that they finally ultra-sound found as I felt like I have had a sore throat and flu for 1/2 a year...and it is over 2cm now since discovery in Sept '23 grown over 1 cm to now in Dec '23 but in Canada OH MY they keep telling me not to worry about it and I made a bit of a fuss, so I have a biopsy sched'd for MARCH! Everything I read in America, they would have biopsied right away! Our system is super broken it seems. That'll be 7 mos since I told Primary that I was feeling really bad...I don't think I can wait...I also have swollen nodes all over my neck and collarbone for months now - but no one has even palpated me all this time, my endocronologist appt is over the phone Jan 4th and it's not even Covid times? I am so confused, how do you treat me without seeing me, I am not just my bloodwork. I'm pretty scared INTERNALLY but putting on a brave face for my family, they know I'm "sick" but don't know just HOW bad I feel - so tired, I almost feel like giving up, but may try carnivore first, but no one is helping me, no CT scans allowed unless your primary deems it URGENT. Woops, rant...sorry, MY QUESTION was, just got new labs as I am not even on any thryroid meds yet, thanks doc! but soon I guess, she spoke of synthroid - all my labs are not good as of 2 days ago...TPH or O 217 the one that shoud be
That’s amazing thanks for sharing!! I’m taking 10,000 IU vitamin D3 felt kinda better but not noticeable for my hypothyroid symptoms but I’m gonna up it to 20,000. Don’t forget to take vitamin K2 with the vitamin D to avoid calcium build up in the wrong places! So every 10,000 D3 needs 100 mg of K2👍
I have Hashimoto’s disease and a diabetic and I will definitely start the Carnivore diet!!
Ohhh this makes me so happy and gives me even more faith in what the Berry Team has accomplished showing that the proper human diet should NEVER be altered to live a full healthy life. Great job !!! Neisha your one lucky healthy beautiful lady wife and mother. 💖 CONGRATULATIONS 👏💃(Finish that ☕coffee lol)
I am so happy for you!! I've seen great results from keto! I am determined to stay keto forever for my hashimotos. I may even lean more towards carnivore just by watching this!
Amazing! Perfect example of how a healthy diet can heal your body!
Amazing results! I've watched you blossom into a healthier you over the last 2 years!
Thanks so much!
Excellent labs. I too have put my Hashimoto's into remission this year and my most recent labs are very similar to yours. I think the key was due to keto and IF the past 2 years, and I just began carnivore in July, so am excited to see what labs show this coming December. I would love to be off thyroid meds as well. 😉
So glad for you. I only started keto this February. Did you lose weight?
Can you update please.
How’s it going?
I love this I’m newly diagnosed and crying over this and that there’s hope!!! I’m trying keto for sure now! Thank you! And I’m now following you as of now!!!
Are you taking medicine now ?
How are you now?
How are you now
*I had put all my labs in the video but somehow they arent showing up, you can find them on my blog here : neishalovesit.blog/hashimotos-labs-10-2020/
Can you please post your Suppliments? Thanks Neisha
Amanda Kinney She has a video on her you tube I believe that she goes into details. I got some of mine off that video and I’ve never felt better ✨
thank you SO much my hashi level was about 1,900!!
First time i've heard my triglyercides 54 beaten. Great job! And for anyone worried about LDL on keto mine is 41 so you never know what it'll be. My HDL is 100. Keto is nothing to be scared of.
Thank you for posting about Hashimoto's and how your diet has improved your health. I started keto 12/4/2019 and need to lose 50 lbs. I'm halfway there. I wish I could show you the difference it has made already in my body. My face especially around my eyes was always swollen. Now it isn't. Im pretty sure I suffer from insulin resistance because the belly fat is not budging much. I'm currently trying IF, can make it 12 hours without snacking but when I try to do 20 hours I find I need a snack before then. I'm not giving up though. I also found that stress caused me to eat and crave the bad carbs. Being on keto is the only time I've ever been able to lose any weight at all. Wish I had tried it a long time ago. I'm also post menopause. I became menopausal at age 39. Diagnosed with Hashimoto's at age 35. I now 58.
Congratulations girl! From an RN of 32 years I'm impressed!
I am so happy that keto/carnivore worked for you. I will warn other people that it made some of my symptoms worse, but I'm probably a rare case with a neurological condition in addition to Hashimoto's.
What neurological condition if I may ask?
I’ve been doing carnivore for two weeks and my symptoms are a bit worse like fatigue and headaches etc. but I am less bloated. I know the transition period is the hardest so I’m sticking to it I keep reading that hypothyroid takes three months to get fixed on carnivore. I’m impatient lol I want result right away😅 but I’m not giving up
Hi Neisha,
I'm glad you're Here.
Thank you for Being.
This is great news Neisha! Congratulations! I’ve been on levothyroxin for about 7 years. On a ketogenic diet for a year with IF and 24-36 hour fasts at least twice a month. My goal is to get off the medication and at times want to just stop taking it to see if I’ll feel ok. My recent labs came out good ( not as good as yours though) but I had taken the levothyroxin that morning of the blood draw (2:00 pm) in a fasted state . My doctor still says I need to be on this medication for the rest of my life! You’ve inspired me to try out carnivore despite the fact that I’ll miss my nuts and salads. Thank you for sharing. I don’t want to be at the mercy of prescription drugs.
How are you now ?
The day I've been waiting for!! These are GREAT results!! I watched this with my husband late last night. I've been doing mostly carnivore, but not fully commiting. My husband said, "Are you going to jump all in and give it a try?". Heck yes!
I had my Endocrinologist appointment a couple of weeks ago. My thyroid function is doing well even though I have Hashimoto's. My TPO is 130, TGab is 2. I'm on therapeutic levels of Vitamin D, and also put iodine in my coffee. My Dr. Doesn't have me on hormone replacements, yet. I'm still hoping to send it into remission with diet and exercise! I have a follow up in ten weeks.
Congrats on your amazing numbers and thank you for sharing them with us!
Update?
Neisha, Im so glad your labs are awesome! This proves Keto works. ❤
Good for you. I am anxious to see my A1C later on this month as I have been very good on Keto for 6 weeks so far and fasting 16 hours. So far I am down about 13 lbs. too. Yay for me!
I’ve also been keto for a little over a month and I was previously controlling it with metformin with a A1C of 6.9 since keto I stopped taking it on my own and my blood sugars have yet to be over the 90’s even after eating. I’ve also lost weight but I don’t step on the scale because it’s more important to me the way I feel! Congratulations to you!
Remember your A1c is a record of your blood glucose for the past 3 months and will take time to reduce.
whats the update on the A1c?
BIG Congratulations, Neisha!
When I was on the S.A.D diet & menopausal I developed Hashimoto's symptoms, which were NOT proven by my labs, my doctor told me she could find nothing wrong but she could refer me to a psychologist. (Huh?!?) Then I went to DR. google with all my symptoms, which pointed to sugar/wheat products/high carb diet. I went low carb, now keto-ketovore and no symptoms since. Any stress (lack of sleep, poor diet, emotional stress, overwork, menopause, babies) will whack out everything further and labs are a snapshot of where you are at the time taken.
Folk should view them as such and address diet as first culprit.
Thank you! I just got diagnosed a few weeks ago and and trying to learn all I can to figure it out and heal myself the best way possible.
Thankyou for all your valuable information, I have thyroid auto immune disease and seem to always be battling one symptom of another. You are both like a breath of fresh air, when watching your videos I am nodding my head constantly . "Yes "at last someone fully understands. I am now eating keto and trying to do intermittent fasting.
The Love between you 2 is shinning Sooooo Bright!!!
I have hashimotos and have started the Carnivore Diet two weeks ago. I feel amazing!! Good job on your labs!
do you eat all types of meat or only beef, sheep and goat?
Impressed, Neisha! I have been waiting to hear good news from the lab, since you always do your due diligence for accountability. Figured it would be positive. Happy too. Rah, rah, sis-boom-bah! Go Neisha!
I’m trying to navigate hypoparathyroidism, laying off pork/bacon and other high phosphorus foods in combination with ketovore and iodine I believe is slowly helping, wish I could get the bone popping under control (especially jaw/face), praying for continued healing.
I have a family history of low thyroid (grandfather died aged 54, my father died at 62 both with thyroid drying up therefore heart attacks). I had benign rumour on my thyroid in 1973, so half of ny thyroid was removed & I have been on synthroid ever since, though it has reduced from 1.25 mg to .75 mg. Keto diet helped me lose weight but I found it hard to stay on. I'm just starting Carnivore, so I'm delighted to see there are good numbers. Thank you both! 💖💕🇨🇦
Right on Neisha! I've always tracked my Hashi's with TPO antibodies with my N.D. We want them to be "negative" under 35 (SonoraQuest labs). That's remission. We can tell the state of my immune system based on my TPO counts. Immune symptoms are different then hypothyroid symptoms, although some can be related to both (inflammation, histamine reactions, stiff joints, etc.). My hypothyroid symptoms (body temp control, hair loss, brain fog, weight gain, etc.) are always consistent with my TSH (thyroid speed) and Reverse T3 (active thyroid hormone) numbers. My Hashimoto's was uncontrolled for so long, that my thyroid was damaged. That damage will require lifelong medication if it is unable to regenerate in long-term remission. It's important for folks to understand the difference between the immune system actively attacking self and the thyroid under producing. We also focus on keeping my vitamin D levels super high 80+ as vitamin D is critical for the immune system to be able to differentiate self from an infectious agent (I also have cancer history so proper cell function is a big deal). I follow keto customized to remove foods that are reactive to me. No dairy or gluten since they tend to follow autoimmune pathways of reactivity. Veggies are important for me for optimizing estrogen pathways since I tend to veer toward estrogen dominance. So I eat my Brussels. I also fast intermittently, I'm just not a breakfast person.
How do you know your thyroid was damaged? Did you have a scan done? I have had untreated Hashimotos symptoms for YEARS. Just last year I was diagnosed and my (former) dr basically said it’s no big deal and the discomfort in my throat is probably acid reflux and to take antacid 🙄 I’m paranoid as my sister was recently diagnosed as hypo and her thyroid is no longer making any hormone. A cousin has thyroid cancer. Waiting on updated lab results from a new dr (previous doc refused to test my thyroid again !). Should I request a scan?
@@tamlinchamberlain8590 Yes, I had an ultrasound done and the tissue is all scarred. It's possible that it could regenerate the longer I'm in remission, so we'll see. But so far, it hasn't, meds have been the same for the last 3 years in remission. I actually had a doctor tell me I didn't need thyroid meds when I was first diagnosed. He told me that it may help me with weight management, but otherwise, it's not a big deal. She was dead wrong. I started to lose my memory and my eyesight along with all the symptoms Neisha talks about. I'm glad you have found a new doctor!
You are making some rather huge assumptions. I think this is part of your issues. I wish you the best.
I don’t understand why someone would give you a thumbs down , not to mention 6 of them! Some people are so rude!
I too have Hashimotos but my labs are way different than yours. My TPO was 2,957, TSH 12.7 and T4 0.6. I was on synthroid and I asked my doctor for an armour thyroid script instead. I have been following you & Dr Berry for 8 weeks, eating ketovoure, lost 10 pounds and feel much better! Will test again in 6 months and Hope to have results similar to yours.
How you are doing now?
I love this. I keep telling myself I need to check my labs for my mthfr for the last year to see how keto truly affected it. but, with my symptoms gone, I keep putting it off. now I'm just gonna do it
Neisha you look so pretty! Thank y’all for sharing this. I am positive (so is my husband who has hypothyroidism) that I have low thyroid BUT all my labs are always (“normal”). Usually the low end of normal.....My symptoms are so bad I wish I could find someone like you that would listen. I have honestly given up and am just going to work on diet.
I don’t think the carnivore diet alone is what healed the thyroid more than it is what you take out! I healed mine cutting out gluten, sugar and processed food. I still eat healthy carbs such as rice and do great! I get out of bed not feeling that I have a body to carry around, energy all day, alertness and sound mind! ❤️
Congratulations! Just more evidence of the benefit of KETO lifestyle. Thanks for posting this! My TSH number is elevated for the last three lipid panels. May try iodine drops and increase glutathione. Ketovore/Carnivore has literally saved my wife's life in just 2 months. Thank you for all you do!!!!!
Thank you for crunching the numbers. My TgAb was over 1200 and doctors didn't seem too worried. Had a TSH of 3.5 but symptoms as if it was at least 25 (sleeping 12-16hrs per day, immense swelling - ankles ballooned to the same size as my thighs, grape sized tumor in my thyroid and tones of others issues). Done gluten free, Whole30, AIP but it's keto that started improving my symptoms. I'm just at the beginning of the journey so videos like this are really informational and can help with motivation. Still long way to go but at least I'm moving the right direction.
How are you now?
I’ve been following paleo for a number of years and in June switched to keto . Just this morning I started worrying if that was ok for me. I forgot I have Hashimotos. And then this showed up for me today. Thank you. My doctor always recommended 12 hour IF but now do 18 and feel like that really works for me.
How's it going?
Thank you guys so much !! Good job Neisha
I have my antibodies at an optimal level , I feel great ,once in awhile I have arthritis pain in my right hip, I use red light therapy every night, no more pain ❤️❤️❤️
Which red light do you use
I would love to know where you got your red light? I have read a little about this. I tend to have pain in my hip and shoulder area. Currently fighting frozen shoulder in my left shoulder. I have already had it in my right.

A video on how to read your blood work would be awesome. 🚒 I’ve been on thyroid since I was 15. I have a growth growing on my thyroid I’m trying to shrink with carnivore and some cheese along with other stomach issues. I’m also a firefighter who is exposed to a lot of chemicals which I also feel caused my growth. But To better understanding on exactly how to read blood work would be awesome!! Especially with someone who believes this way of eating is essential for health. Thanks and great video
I had chemical toxicity as well. I ended up getting a sauna to treat it. I used the Niacin protocol but I haven’t retested r
yet but I know my husband reduced his by a lot.
Fantastic! Just started carnivore a week ago and am looking forward to improvement in Hashi's soon. Tried AIP and made some progress *mostly weight loss* so I am hoping zero carb works better. This video was super helpful.
How you are doing now?
I’ve been in the ER 3 times with severely low potassium. Muscle spasms all over body could barely talk. Just now realized it’s hashimotos related!! No one told me. A week ago had urticaria vasculitis and fat left bruising. Again, no one says it’s hashimotos related. Started watching Neisha and realized she described me!! Fasting now and going carnivore from keto
So happy for you Neisha! Thats wonderful! Im so happy I found you two! You both have helped me so much! And still helping me.
Thank you for posting this! This gives me an idea on how to read my own blood work, which by the way would make a great RUclips video or video for the private FB group! 😬
Congratulations! I’m working towards getting off my thyroid medication!!! Thank you, for being an inspiration and providing hope!!!
Did it work ?
Thank you so much for great information! I have Hashimoto’s also and have it under control taking Armour Thyroid 180 mg since 2017. I feel great! All symptoms are pretty much gone. I am however left with my stress eating issues that have always wanted me since having my last baby in 2010. Then I discovered carnivore and my life has changed for the better! I have only been carnivore for 45 days now and feel amazing and plan on continuing like this indefinitely. When did you realize that you wanted to get off your medication? Never thought such a thing could be possible.Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you and love you guys!
Beautiful❤️ congrats! I have to live on np thyroid due to rai 15 yrs ago (graves). Holding steady though and staying ketovore for 18 months so far!
I’m happy for you and even though I don’t have Hashimotos .....good bloodwork is a real “high”! I’m 71 and have worn out shoulders (that need replacing)and osteoarthritis. Am hoping my labs in the future make me as happy as yours made you! This keto journey is exciting!
Awesome! I too have hashimoto's and have put mine in to remission with low-dose naltrexone and keto. My provider believes it's the LDN, but I've always thought it was keto. You've given me some things to think about - may be cutting out the LDN and NDT which would be great!!!
I just started ldn too did it lower your meds at all ? I’ve only been on it a month so far but it’s improved my numbers within that time.
@@Janarae18 I did have a small reduction in my thyroid meds with starting LDN. I started the LDN and then went keto and didn't have my antibodies rechecked until I was doing both, but both antibody markers are now within normal limits. I did feel better after starting LDN, but felt a much more drastic improvement with starting keto.
My TSH is 16 😢 I was doing great for years, no symptoms and normal lab work but have had a rough 3 years and my symptoms are horrible, hair loss, weight gain, exhausted, can’t even function. So glad to find you, thanks to a wonderful friend. Are you still ketovore or are you carnivore now?
I took myself off of medications 10 years ago. Against doctors orders. I know I shouldn’t have done that BUT today I feel the best I have ever felt!!!! I will continue to follow my heart. I have 0 symptoms are not there anymore. The only thing I wish were better is my hair that’s it.
Great video!!💖 Congratulations.
That’s so wonderful! So happy for you, Neisha!
My doctor upped my Levo to 150mcg 5 weeks ago and now my resting heart rate is 88 and my heart races all day long. I'm going today instead of next week to get my labs done. I love Keto, but this is stressful. I've spent the day deep breathing, upping my electrolytes, sitting in bed and trying not to get up too fast, ugh! I love that you guys went over your detailed lab results in this video, thank you for all the info!
If you heart is racing that means your dose is too high for my understanding.
You should him/her to reduce it
@@DarkAngel-cj6sx Thanks, yes I stopped taking my prescription until my labs come back. Yesterday was scary, today a little better.
@@katierunnberg7997 thanks God. Take care. Have looked into IF? I am doing it and OMAD and it seems to be helping.
I did use milk thistle too to clean up my liver and my energy is back now.
Now I am learning about carnivore diet and I will be mixing it with keto.
Happy Easter
@@DarkAngel-cj6sx Yep, I'm doing 14-16 hour fasting. I've been taking Ancestral Supplements (liver and bone marrow), just started. Keto has been great for me and I'm researching carnivore. I was wondering if my 22lb weight loss and new way of eating helped my thyroid and my meds really need to be adjusted. I'll find out tomorrow hopefully. You take care as well and thank you for all the info!
I’m so glad I found your channel! I am going through the whole hashimotos train right now☹️. I am going to try the keto in hopes that it helps me as it has you🤗
Did it helped you ?
Brilliant Neisha
Excellent work and thanks for sharing, so good to get a breakdown of lab results.
In the UK we don’t get labs checked unless asked for, and then it’s a fight as NHS funding is so tight.
So it’s so interesting to hear results and just how very low Keto physically impacts the body.
👌🏼
congrats on your labs...so exciting!!
I need you to be my doctor. I have horrible fatigue and pain that I can no longer deal with. I will try one more time to get help. I will take care of it myself if I cannot be treated. The pain is devastating me. Thank you for sharing friends.
Definitely try carnivore
Thank you for sharing your journey and being an inspiration to me and so many others!
I'm so happy for u girl! I'm hoping lessening my grandmas sugar intake width help her arthritis. Fingers crossed!
Congratulations Neisha with your labs. Great job.
Thank you for making this video 🙏🏽 I too have Hashimoto’s and after taking medication for over 6 years I decided to get off. I’m slightly hypothyroid right now but I’m determined to get my life back and seeing your videos gives me hope and you both are heaven sent🙏🏽 God bless and I look forward to watching all your videos.
How did you go off? Cold turkey? I take 60mg natur thyroid I want to try to get off since I've been carnivore over a year.
@@bobbiemauk1879hello👋! Well from my experience, I was taking 88mcg of levothyroxine and last year for about 4 months I was only taking half the tablet and by December I just completed stopped taking it. I did feel the consequences of it physically, mentally and emotionally but I was determined to keep going. Thankfully I found this page and have noticed that intermittent fasting and going carnivore has helped. I still have to educate myself about the lab work but one thing I can say,regardless of what my labs say… I feel amazing! I feel like myself again. My advice is keep doing research and listen to your body. I pray all goes well with you🙏🏽
I'm so happy for you that your labs were great and you feel awesome!👏 God bless you, Dr. Berry and your family!
Amazing. I am happy for you. Dead proof you are doing the correct hints.
I also have auto immune disease. No clear diagnosis, yet. Just a lot of wacky issues. I am trying ketovore for a month now. Hopefully it helps.
Revisiting this-how did it go?
It’s been six months since your post. How are things working out?
I am very happy for you .You have inspired us all to continue on Keto excellent !
Those numbers are great! Good job and thanks so much for your example.
Such a happy video. Well done on your results!
Is a TPO antibody of 35 without diagnosed thyroid issues bad? It was 8 the year before but I was under tonnnnss of stress when I had them checked last time and they were 35. Tsh was 2.2. Free T4 1.8 and free T3 2.4..
Keisha’s Hashimoto’s numbers are so much better than mine. Mine is greater than 1000, & 15. My doctor gave me LDN ( low dose naltrexone 4.5). I still am very tired but body pain is better. So happy for such good numbers! Congratulations 🥳
ONE week on the carnivore diet my energy, gut, and joints are doing much, much better. I'm the most hopeful in a long time.
Thank you for sharing your journey and results. It gives me encouragement since I have hypothyroidism. No one can argue with hard numbers! Good for you 👏
Love this video full of great information .I'm hossimodo thyroid autoimmune disease. And the doctors in uk took gallbladder out think it was my gallbladder then appendix I highly allergic to sulfite In food what making me really Ill and in lots of pain and asthmatic now I'm going keto see if it helps ... uk doctors haven't a clue thanks for information because doing my own research I'm helping my self by watching video like yours xoxo ❤👍👏😃
I just had my bloodwork done. I have hashimotos as well and my symptoms are terrible right now. I hope to be where you are one day. 😊
I have never had any symptoms but have bloodwork that says I have Hashimoto’s. And now psoriasis and one time I had iritis. I really want to get rid of any issues that require lifelong pharmaceuticals. I’m heading towards intermittent fasting and ketovore
Congrats Neisha on the labs!
thank you :)
This is awesome to see. I'm off to search for further update videos. Thanks! 😊
Good job Neisha! I’m still ketovor. Hope my labs turn out as good!
Great video! Happy to hear you are doing well off of thyroid meds! I have Hashimoto’s and I would love to hear your advice on high estrogen levels with Hashimoto’s. Thank you!. .
Ok so I’ve watched a few of these videos tonight and now I’m heading to the Dr tomorrow. Thx!!!
