I also healed my thyroid holistically.. I try to eat 2 Brazil nuts daily, eat more cilantro, radishes and wild blueberries as well and try to stay away from breads. It worked for me!! ❤ love your recipes and videos!
That's great! It's different for every one, and the root cause analysis approach is a must. Anything can cause this...anemia, parasites, latent infections, mold mold mold!..... I'm glad it was that easy for you! Brazil nuts are good for the selenium! :)
I’ve been cooking since I was 10. I’m seventy three now and I’m sick of cooking but my husband isn’t tired of eating. I was on thyroid medication and then I ran out and my dr left town so I just quit taking them when I ran out. I try to eat low carb and I don’t touch gluten but I do eat some cheese. I started on some vitamins and started listening to tapes and I believe I’m doing better. I was also horribly depressed because of my daughter being killed. It’s taken me almost 4 years to even try to want to move forward.
My condolences, Jan. May your daughter rest in eternal peace.🙏❤
I have lost a child. I understand your pain. Saying a prayer for you.🙏🏾🕊
Living with the stigma of Thyroid & not been able to have a healthy living was messing up my life until I got some super herbs from Dr Igho UA-cam channel, I haven't had any Symptom's for some while now, after I did a test & I'm planning to get another test done, Am grateful & advise you to help yourself also
@Aida Melano thank you
I Hope everyday leads you to a better place. I don’t know you, however your pain resonated with me. Wishing you the best ❤
I’m so glad you made this video. I spent more than a decade always cold, tired and fat. I couldn’t lose weight and didn’t know why. Hair loss has always been an issue for me (I have thin hair and thought it was normal) I craved carbs and sugar. I went to a doctor (a horrible one at that) for an injury on my shoulder and she ignored my concerns (literally walked out the door as I was mid sentence!) She barked at me that I had hypothyroidism and said “take this”. (Levothyroxine) Never said what it was. I took it for a few years. Never felt better. Actually got fatter. I diagnosed myself with inflammation and yes, still hypothyroidism; started keto, stopped taking Levothyroxine. I knew I had trouble with carbs and had to admit they didn’t like me. 😂 I now take iodine and beef liver capsules and I’m not cold anymore. I’ve lost weight. My hair stopped falling out and because of keto I don’t have cravings! My insomnia was cured! I could go on!! Not one doctor ever (except my allergist back in the 90’s) told me to look at my food. I’m sickened to see how the medical profession has changed (my Dr as a child was an allergist and prescribed meds when necessary but always went the holistic route. This was the late 60’s & 70’s. I’m blessed to have had him as my Dr.
I wonder if your protocol would world for both types of thyroid issues. I'm balding, fat and have cold feet and hands, but sweat a lot, mood swings, and even though I'm on keto the scale hasn't moved in over 7 months. And I'm talking strict keto. Maybe I should try iodine!????? Any advice would help.
@@msglittergirl1 I personally take iodine daily. Dr Ken Berry and his wife Neisha are great people to get answers from. Dr Berry has tons of videos here on UA-cam. Check your macros. Are you eating enough protein? Are you taking enough electrolytes? There are many reasons you’re not seeing results. One thing I do know is the keto diet is healthy and works!
@@msglittergirl1 just got diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. I felt so bad and changed diet immediately (waited on blood work). I popped those pills so fast to feel functional and get out of bed. My hope is to lower meds while my diet takes over. In the longer run, I want to get off meds.
When you say iodine are you talking about a vitamin? Plus where do you get the liver caplets?
Oh gosh, I have hypothyroidism, hashimotos, celiac, & fibromyalgia. It's been 10 yrs and my Dr's have not been of any help. I'm on levothyroxine and I take Calcium, Vitamin D, Iron and I took it upon myself to take (vit B12). I hope I will stop losing hair, I get tired, stressed, crave sugar, dry skin.... I eat gf and lots of salads & include flax seed and include probiotics.... I'm sleeping better at night and my weight has pretty consistant for years.. gain 3 lose 3 🤷♀️🙂Any advice will be greatly appreciated as I don't know what to do anymore. Is a keto diet for me with all my issues? I'm desperate 😪😔😪

I got hit with hyperthyroidism.
It’s horrible.
My first symptom I noticed too was the hair loss but also my hair was unmanageable. I could comb my hair and it would tangle right up afterwards and become almost like a birds nest.
During the time it all started, I was traumatized by something that happened in our area. So stress. Also had the stress of having a new way of eating (keto).
The symptoms following my hair loss was:
Extreme anxiety; I suffer from anxiety but this felt different. Almost like an extreme crazy version.
Mood swings. We are talking in a span of a minute, I felt: mad, rage, sad, guilt, content, happy, euphoria, calmness and repeat. Repeat until it would send me into a panic attack for how I felt.
Heart issues: skipped beats, racing heart.
Any little thing I did my heart was racing bad. Changed position in bed and it would sky rocket.
Insomnia: went almost 2 days without sleep.
I remember eating salty foods and I would feel like crap afterwards.
Lost a lot of weight. But in a span of 2 weeks I lost 20 lbs. I was eating. I ate a lot but body would burn through it. I was hungry every hour like as if I had not eaten in days.
This was in a span of 4 months. I went and got tested for everything. My thyroid the first time they ran tests was normal. So was the following visits. Finally I landed in the hospital after having my heart race at 170 all day. The Er couldn’t calm my heart rate at all. The Er doctor said “this is crazy but I usually don’t test for thyroid function. So I’ll have them test you for that. I had two patients this week with the exact same symptoms as you… they turned out to have thyroid issues”
The results…. Tsh was .006! And my other levels were off too. They started treating that (5 days in the hospital) and symptoms started to subside.
Here’s the thing guys. Doctors don’t check the right levels. They are supposed to check free t3 and free t4. Not really go based off the tsh alone.
And it’s hard…. Hard to find a doctor who specializes in it. Yes theirs endocrinologist. But the ones I had, had a more focus on diabetes than the thyroid. So you really have to advocate for yourself.
I know what you going through I've been there I have Graves disease and Graves eyes disease it sucks and really takes a toll on you mentally.
I got diagnosed with hypothyroidism in February. It’s the worse. I was sleeping all day. Couldn’t sleep at night. Gained so much weight and it was so hard to lose it. Thank you so much for sharing your story.! Love you
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism during COVID, I wasn't able to eat food which also affected my taste. Using Dr iyaremoses on UA-cam herbal medicine helped get rid of psoriasis..
I am so happy I stumbled across your videos!
One thing I would like to add to this is make sure your doctor is running the right tests. My family doctor overlooked my hypothyroidism for over a year before I had what I call a “storm”. I was having the same symptoms as you, along with my first panic attack and menstrual issues. I had to insist 3 times in one visit before they would refer me to an Endocrinologist. It turned out I had thyroid cancer and ended up losing my entire thyroid. By that point, other damage from my hormones being off had been done and almost cost me my life.
Be your own advocate. Don’t let them tell you you’re fine when you know you’re not.
I’m so grateful when I find people who have gone through thyroid issues and are using their platforms to raise awareness because so many of us just don’t know. So thank you! ❤️❤️
Hi! I also got my whole thyroid removed 7 years ago due to cancer. You mentioned some other things almost cost you your life, what was that? I would like to know 😮
@@cindybeltran992My hormones were so thrown off that it caused severe pms. I became anemic, had to have a blood transfusion (my hemoglobin had dropped to 5.3, normally between 11-12), and a full hysterectomy. It was a mess.
3 months late on this but here I am. This explains everything going on with me! I’m going to go see a natural doctor and have my blood tested. Unfortunately I can’t lessen my stress, my stress comes from taking care of children in the middle of the night and now I’m 16 weeks pregnant with Twins. But this has been really helpful. Thank you Myra!

wow this video made so much sense to me ....I use to work night shift as a nurse and never got any sleep and was always stressed...I have hypothyroidism and was so sick I cam barely get out of bed sometimes...anyways ...I started working on days and changed my diet ...and I feel like a whole new healthy human again
This video is ONE OF YOUR BEST VIDEOS EVER. I’ve been dealing with the same situation for a long time and when I found out I cut sugar, carbs, and lately took a different approach to life issues that inevitably brings stress to my life. And you are so right. I would love to know more about what holistic supplements you are taking and everything about your healing process. Hope you can share it with us. Sending you lots of love and blessings.
Because of you i found out I have hyperthyroidism. I was experiencing hair loss, diarrhea,hand tremors. I did what you said and went and got blood work done, watching what I am eating, getting 8 hours of sleep,exercing. Thank you Thank you for this video.
I also struggle with hypothyroidism, my doctor keeps telling me my thyroid lab tests are normal but I dont feel normal. Weight gain, exhaustion, hair thinning, low blood pressure, heart palpitations, constipation, etc. All the symptoms of hypothyroidism. I did some research and I heard eating 3 Brazil nuts a day will help regulate the thyroid and to take sea moss gel everyday. I feel okay some days and some days I dont. I really want to heal myself naturally and not be on the synthetic hormone. Thank you so much for sharing your journey!!!!
Same with me. The labs always come back normal, but I still have all the same symptoms. I started taking sea moss, for other reasons, but I'm gonna research the nuts. Thanks for the info!
Same here. Labs always normal yet told I'm on my way to hypothyroidism. What? They don't tell me what to do to prevent it? And... I have always been fatigued my whole life even as a child and been losing hair in clumps since age 13. I'm 45 now. I wish I could get answers and help.
@@icynnd i also started sea moss which i heard is good for thyroid function. I feel alot better in terms of fatigue but i know lifestyle changes need to be done as well which is very hard lol
For heart palpitations, it could be diabetes or/and too much salt in your diet. And for constipation, gluten could be the problem.
I really would recommend you to follow a gluten, corn, dairy, sugar and salt free diet ( that's what I am doing) 😊
Myra , I getting to the Dr this week. Everything you just said on this video, I’m experiencing. Good to know there is hope. Your sincerity and openness is appreciated! 🙌🏻 Thank you.
Thank for sharing your personal and private struggle publicly. I just found out I have hypothyroidism. I am planning on following a holistic treatment plan. I noticed my hair was falling out more than normal. But I thought it was just another phase I was going through. But than I started to have other symptoms. I had to go to emergency room because I was unable to get a doctors appointment. Thank you for sharing your recovery, it gives me hope that I can also recover. Wishing you the best in all that you do.
THIS IS CRAZY! I just got bloodwork back with the same problem with hypothyroidism and this was so needed, and so well timed for aiding me…my follow up appointment is in 3 days! O-0 THANK YOU! And yes do one about hair!
I wish I had found out sooner in my 20s. By the time I found out, it was too late and had lesions and goiters on my thyroid gland. After a biopsy, it was recommended to have my thyroid removed since it was essentially not working. I had all of your symptoms and more. Luckily, I didn't have thyroid cancer but now I have to be on synthetic thyroid hormone the rest of my life. You are spot on with the stress. My stressful 11 year career caused my health to decline and let to thyroid issues. But there were other chronic issues that happened as a result. If you have a chance to get this handled early, then do so. It is worth it to be really be selfish about your health and take care of yourself because you cannot be there for others if you don't.
Hi Shondra! I found out about a year ago that I have hashimoto’s. Would you have any recommendations on which dr to see for thyroid issues? Like a specialist or someone along those lines
@@valb5073 I recommend finding a very good endocrinologist that utilizes both natural and traditional medicine. Usually they have the ability to run the correct blood tests for all hormones and can make recommendations that fit you. Only advice I have is to not give up. It may take some time to find the right one and get on the correct medication. I do not have hashimoto's disease. But I do have to take two thyroid medications. One is T4 (Synthroid) and the other is T3 (Cytomel or Liothyronine). Since I do not have a thyroid, my body is not good at converting T4 to T3. T3 primarily controls metabolism but also helps with energy. Some people may go on natural thyroid medication because they can get it all in one. But I definitely would look into all the brands and consult with your doctor. Not all of them contain the correct amount of hormone which could leave you basically in the same place you started. Another alternative is getting your medication compounded. Yes a little pricey but worth it if you have allergies to gluten, wheat, corn, soy, etc. which are often used as fillers. Bottom line definitely find a good endocrinologist. I am not a doctor and do not recommend the above for anyone. I am only stating what I have been through.
My hair has been falling out since I was 13, I'm 45 now. My forehead is bigger... a strawberry birthmark is now visible and just maybe 15 years ago was hiding in my hairline. 😭 My neck is also very thick and my dentist is always telling me I must have thyroid issues. I told him I'm just fat but he said no. My neck is not proportionate, not normal. Every year I get my thyroid tested. 2 years ago I had a full work-up with the T3, T4 ect.... Ferritin was high, very high, but everything else was normal. I was told I was on my way to developing thyroid issues but didn't have any yet. 🤷♀️🙄 I just don't know what to do. I have the symptoms but it doesn't show up with testing.
@@Karen_Busch I am sorry to hear you have been dealing with this for so long. Often doctors look at the numbers for TSH, T3 and T4 and see if they are in range. In most cases, the numbers can be in range but you can still have a thyroid condition. As I stated to Val above, find an endocrinologist preferably one that specializes in thyroid disorders. If they know what they are doing, they will not only look at your blood work for thyroid, they will check all of your hormones, endocrine and whatever else is necessary. I was in your situation but I had a very good primary care doctor who recommended an ultrasound of my thyroid. That is when he found lesions and goiters on my thyroid. Having a doctor that believes you and is willing to dig deep is what you need. Sometimes you do have to go the natural doctor route to get started. You mentioned high ferritin levels. There are many causes for that and thyroid disorders is one but again, I am not a doctor and cannot diagnose you. All I can recommend to do is advocate for yourself and find a doctor that is going to listen. It took me two years to get my thyroid levels corrected. Just don't give up. I know it sounds easier said than done but it will be worth it.
@@shondraturner thanks for the reply. I will mention it a referral to the appropriate specialist soon.
It's extremely important that people know doing things naturally isn't possible for everyone. There's no shame in life long medication that's required for quality of life.
Thanks for being so vulnerable and sharing your experiences. It's given me hope. I've been suffering with hypothyroidism for the last 5 years.
I was hoping you’d talk about HOW to heal the gut. Will you talk more about that? Thank you for being so raw with us! Glad you’re feeling better!
Low iron can also cause hair loss. I am hypothyroid, but don't have Hashimoto's, like 90% of hypothyroid patients have. That makes it more of an autoimmune disease and those should avoid gluten, like Celiac sufferers have to. I used to take pig thyroid, but it's quality is not as good nowadays. Glad your journey is better now. Mine as well.
So glad you got it diagnosed and taken care of,
thank you for sharing.
Hopefully this information can help viewers resolve their issues. 👍
First of all, thank you for being vulnerable and sharing!! It’s comforting knowing other women go through the same struggles. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos and was in a very bad state. I’ve been with 3 different endocrinologists and was put on meds but my symptoms were not improving. I finally found an amazing holistic doctor that I’m currently still working with and 85% of ALL my symptoms have subsided and I feel GREAT! I’ve been medication free and I’ve been on a Paleo like diet and specific supplements. It does take time to heal but I would DEF recommend going holistic If anyone is contemplating which direction to go.
@@Anyways936 no I’m sorry. But my doctor could still help! We work together online (virtually).
Could u share your doctors info and what supplements u r taking for hashimoto's? Thanks :)
@@meganstreby4492 Mind sharing your Dr info? I have Hashi's and dont even know where to start. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you!
@@carlygarcia9798 that’s her website! Best thing to do would be to schedule a free breakthrough call with her and see if you would be a good fit and she could answer some of your questions and help steer you in the right direction!
@@JB-th6ej that’s her website! Best thing to do would be to schedule a free breakthrough call with her and see if you would be a good fit and she could answer some of your questions and help steer you in the right direction!
I'm GLAD YOU DID THIS SUBJECT MATTER. IT'S SOMETHING I'VE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH. I'M GLAD TO KNOW IT CAN BE REVERSED/MANAGED WITHOUT MEDS. THANKS FOR SHARING 👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you for sharing this! I’m having some of these symptoms, and I have been tested, and have a thyroid issue (hypo). My endocrinologist said I didn’t have to take medication if I don’t want to unless I really start feeling bad. I do feel bad. I feel so fatigued and exhausted all the time. Dry skin, temperature issues. No hair loss yet thank goodness. I know a lot of mine was from stress, which I have been able to reduce a lot of recently. I would love to know what you did beyond stress reduction, and increased sleep. Glad you’re feeling better. 👍
Thank you for sharing this. Currently going through it and it’s so emotionally hard, my hair loss has hurt the most. Please share your experience, it’s so nice to hear there’s light at the end of this!
I'm also one person out here who is used to suffering that I have a thyroid issue or not and because of your last video make me focus on my body and listen to my body more. Now I make a decision to see the doctor. Thank you for a very good video like this. You always inspired me in so many ways. Thank you so much!!
Conventionally trained endocrinologists put me on synthroid which has gluten in it and I have celiac so that was problematic. I went on nature-throid and it was recalled so had to go off that. I have been taking ancestral brand grassfed thyroid pills and it seems to help. I follow a keto version of the autoimmune protocol diet (AIP) and that has worked wonders but my hair is still thin, freezing toes and dry skin. My joint pain was off the charts so my functionally trained doctor put me on low dose 3.5 mg of naltrexone and my pain went away after 3 weeks....a true blessing. My hashimoto's definitely flares up with stress and who doesn't have stress these days....hard to get rid of stress even with yoga, meditation, gratitude journal etc. Please keep these videos coming. Foods that have helped me with hashimoto's is plain cocoyo yogurt with a few raspberries, classic kettle and fire beef bone broth with redmonds salt & organic rosemary or thyme, fermented red cabbage every day, 100% grassfed beef or lamb, wild caught salmon, organic pasture raised eggs, lots of low carb organic veggies w/EVVO and base culture bread. Batch cooking different types of soup and freezing it was a lifesaver for me. Thyroid disease is tricky to say the least because everyone is different.
My hair loss was my 1st symptom, but since I'm a cancer survivor, I thought that was what was causing it. It wasn't until my nails became brittle, did I realize something was going on. I also have had gut issues even before my cancer, that just made it worse. I'm taking medication and I hate taking any more than I have to. My levels were WAY above what they should have been. And I recently found out it runs in our family, so genetics can play a part also and healing my gut can help. So, my journey begins....
I'm losing tons of hair and exhausted all the time , I'm colombian with full head of hair and I love my hair like you I've been freaking out!! I have had alot of stress! But I would love to to know what you did holistically!!! Because I'm not about the meds at all !! Thank you for talking about your journey!! I follow you ON IG LOVE EVERYTHING YOU DO !!! MUCHO AMOR MIJA 💃🙏💞
Detox the colon/liver/lymphatic system, do hydrotherapy (colonics), then heal colon by green juicing and eating homemade fermented foods. Do CLEAN Keto, stay away sugar alcohols, drink organic aloe Vera juice and Braggs apple cider vinegar...it's ALL about cleaning your body so it can keep you from getting sick.
Thyroid is hereditary and that’s where mine came from I was put on thyroid meds and that really helped me now my thyroid is under control. Thank you for sharing your story!
Same
Same, my dad and his sister has hypothyroidism, my tsh was around 40 at one point. I tried healing it for 5 years with no success, finally went on synthetic thyroid meds and I feel so much better. Still leading a healthy lifestyle but the meds were a must for me. 💕 I appreciate a lot she has to say about stress though, stress is such a big issue for so many people these days.
So happy we have you healthy again.
The importance of listening to your body! Thank you for sharing your story. I lost my husband ten years ago, he left me a business and three young children I was responsible for. The shock of everything put my body through so much stress I started to suffer from all these symptoms too but no doctor could pin point that it was my thyroid. After years of doing research and struggling with all the symptoms I decided to make a change on my own. I started talking selenium by eating a couple Brazil
Nuts. I went from not having a period for over 6 years, loss of hair, weight gain, acne and just a nasty feeling of exhaustion everyday to now having a regular period, losing 35 pounds, my hair has stopped falling out, my acne cleared up, the inflammation is gone and my levels of energy are way better. Healing my gut with clean keto and the Brazil
Nuts have done wonders for my health. Gracias Myra I love your channel and all your recipes 🙂
Glad you are ok, thank you helping all of us realize there are other things we need to do to be healthy
This was very helpful for me. I've had thyroid issues for a very long time just never realized that I had a problem. I would stay cold, mood swings, foggy brain just all kinds of things and it all led back to my thyroid. Lack of energy etc. I really appreciate you and everything that you bring to the table it really helps. Not to mention your delicious food lol is always a plus!
What did you do about it if you don't mind me asking?
Glad 😊 to hear that you are over with thyroid issue, you are feeling better .
This is so great!! Being an endocrine nurse I urge many people to have their thyroids checked by an endocrinologist. A primary care doctor can make a recommendation but an endocrinologist can get you to where you need to be and see if you have any endocrine deficiencies.
I follow you for your low carb/ keto recipes and I probably wouldn’t have clicked on this type of video although the topic drew me in and I wanted to hear what you had to say since my 16 yr old daughter has hypothyroidism. She was diagnosed at 8 years old and has been on medication ever since. Every symptom you mentioned having, she had too along with gaining a lot of weight very quickly. She went to stay with her grandparents for 2 weeks and when she came home I was shocked at the weight gain. That’s how I knew something was wrong. luckily we had a family friend that recognized that along with her other symptoms were signs of low thyroid and suggested we asked to get her tested. She sees an endocrinologist every six months and he has never mentioned that she could help turn this around with diet and lifestyle changes. Thanks for letting me know. I’m glad you’ve had success with what you changed.
I had a rare brain tumor (benign and successfully removed) which affected my thyroid and I refused to take synthetic meds also. It controls and affects SO much! Please keep sharing about your thyroid journey. 💗
What kind of tumor? I currently have one on my pituitary gland.
Chanda, please share! I’m on my 3rd MRI to monitor a brain lesion, all while experiencing every symptom of thyroid problems.
It was a craniopharygioma on my pituitary and optic nerves. It was found Bc of a routine eye exam where I had missing peripheral vision on each side. I had been battling sudden weight gain and Hormonal issues already with it was discovered. I had a full craniotomy to remove it and beat most of the odds against me. The one I couldn’t was the weight gain so I had WLS (sleeve) in 2012 and have been doing pretty good since.
Yes, Mayra we would like to see a video on hair due to thyroid issues please.
Thx so much for the awesome work that you put in!
More videos to help Hashimoto’s. I’m 61 years old - a male - yes, men get it too. I’ve been on Levothyroxine for 23 years now. I started at 25mcg. I’ve been as high as 150mcg, but I am at 137mcg now. I’ve lost 150lbs on Keto. Took me about 2 years. I went from 321lbs to 170lbs. I’ve been able to maintain my weight for a year now. But, Hashimoto’s keeps popping up and sometimes I have to lower my medication and sometimes raise it. It’s really frustrating. I eat really really clean - I mean REALLY CLEAN. I also have Hemochromatosis, and Epstein-Barr Virus. So, I have a lot of struggles. But, Mira - if you could do more videos on Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s that would be great.
Please look into colon cleansing and cleansing your lymphatic system. Look into hydrotherapy (colonics), sauna to sweat out toxins, drink more freshly made dark green juices (kale, celery, cucumbers, swiss chard), organic aloe vera juice, Braggs apple cider vinegar...seek a consultation with a holistic doctor that mainly focuses on healing through nutrition. Stay away from those alternative keto sweeteners, they are terrible for your gut/colon and thyroid. God bless 🙏
Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm 36 and I've been experiencing similar symptoms so you inspired me to reach out to my doctor.
I hope your doctor listens to you !
Thank you for sharing this. It’s so good to know I am not alone. I am about to embark on my own healing journey and it’s a bit overwhelming. Please share more on your Thyroid Healing practices over the years and what you have done to get your hair back!
Yes, yes, yes continue this topic. Have a thyroid aspiration scheduled for next week! Very scared!
I definitely will! I was hesitant for a while but I’m will continue this topic 🙌
Great video! Hypothyroidism is awful. I’m going to look into the holistic remedies, so I can hopefully pull myself off synthroid. I’d love to see a video of your thyroid journey!
I was diagnosed with. Hashimoto's in 1997, I would really like to see a video on your journey to healing your thyroid. I've had many ups and downs and appreciate any and all experiences people share. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thank you Myra. I’ve been losing a lot of my hair as well, but my endocrinologist says my thyroid levels are ok. I think you’re right. Listen to your body! I’m a registered nurse and I think it’s time to see a holistic doc. I also have been experiencing exhaustion! Not acceptable! Love your channel 😊
Thank you so much for this video. Such a personal one for you. My whole family on my mums side has had thyroid issues. My Nana passed away from this in '63. It was so interesting to watch this. Thank you so much. Karen Western Australia ❤️
I was diagnosed with Graves Disease and Thyroid Eye Disease. The medications gave me back pain and made my eyes bulge out more. The endocrinologist refused to work with me since I refused to continue with the medication and he said that since I wouldn't remove my thyroid he pretty much didn't want anything to do with me and I would never get better. This was like 3 endocrinologists similar to Megan below. I started Keto, reviewed my blood work and started taking Selenium, Thunder God Root and Acetyl L- Carnitine. Now, I'm told I don't have Graves and I do not need to remove my thyroid or be on medication. I have it in my medical records. Reviewing your blood work is key.
Good for you!
Thank you so much for sharing... Having a thyroid issue really knocks you on your butt. I could completely understand how you feel!
This is the BEST tutorial, for me, to really understood about my thyroid. Who knew that stress has an influence to if?!!! 🙀. I’m keeping this info and THANK YOU for this down home talking session. This lesson will keep me alert. 🙏 Be well Darlin’!
Holy Wow, Myra 😲 Seriously this is exactly what I am going through and I feel like I’m mentally loosing it because I too never in my life thought I’d ever be going through all of this while on my own health journey. And I want so badly to cure this holistically. 100% Thank you for sharing Your story and making me feel like I’m finally NOT alone!!! Thank You so much. Keep posting more please

I feel like I'm loosing it also I have all the symptoms the hair loss, inability to loose weight, thin nails, stress, mood swings.. all of it. I wonder if natural cures help both types of thyroid issues. Well anyway God bless you, I pray you heal very soon!

GO FULL CARNIVORE! It helped with both my autoimmune conditions. I have Hashimoto thyroid and RA. Carnivore thickens hair, grows nails etc, GO CARNIVORE sweetie! 💗
What are macros like on carnivore? I've never heard of carnivore helping hashi's or hypo but I'm super curious how you healed!
Thank you so much for sharing this painful journey. Give us all you want to share. ❤

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I’ve been on a thyroid supplement for quite a while and am tired of popping that pill everyday. I’m going to look into starting a holistic approach thanks to your video. Thank you again!!
As a Hashi warrior I’m so excited to have found you. I’m pretty lost in what meals I should be making and run out of ideas. 🎉
I have been suffering from hypothyroidism since I was 18. I will be 38 this year. After research I have read you can heal naturally. I have been avoiding dairy, gluten and egg. I had bloodwork done and it has in fact helped and my thyroid mess are being lowered. I truly believe we can heal our bodies naturally. My goal is to be completely off my medication that I have been on almost 20yrs
So happy that you shared this!!! I have many problems with my health. You are a blessing💞💞🎀
Thank you so much for this! I’ve been successfully following a ketogenic lifestyle, lost 40 lbs 2 years ago, and have been patting myself on the back ever since. BUT I have most of the symptoms you mentioned, and never suspected I might have a thyroid issue since it didn’t really interfere with my life. I thought it was just an annoying part of aging. Now I’m going to investigate my options. Maybe I don’t really have to have dry skin, thin hair, horrible nails and be cold all the time! Who knew??
Anemia could cause same symptoms, so check that too!
Vitimine b1, and potassium.
Especially if your not eating vegetables. Like leafy green ones.
Thyroid is a autoimmune issue.
I was the same. I spent more than 10 years with hypothyroidism symptoms. I was under a great deal of stress and contributed my symptoms to aging. Insomnia too. Going keto and exercising has helped 1,000%!
Great Video!!! this has opened my eyes about my thyroid issue !! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for this Video.
Your KETO recipes have helped.me.alot. I was diagnosed T2D in 2019, and was not aware althea food we could cook in KETO which was so life changing. God Bless you and your Family'.
yes please, and could you also talk about your experience with IF and OMAD. Love your channel!!!
Thanks for sharing this. This will help out a lot of people
So glad you found out what's wrong..we love you and your videos so much 💚
Thank you for sharing this..it's really helpful.. I was diagnosed with Graves Disease (hyperthyroidism) in 06 shortly after I had my last baby.. I had a big lump on my neck I was so scared .. I went to Dr they ran tests had me on medication..as time went by I was feeling worse all the symptoms you mentioned.. now I'm dealing with Hashimoto hypothyroidism.. it's been a back and forth thing on medication .they keep adjusting it . Dealing with weight is a big challenge, however I do workout I am active I do what I can to eat healthy.. what you said makes alot of sense getting rid of the things that trigger it..I deal with stress I care for my daughter with disability and I help my mom who is fighting brain cancer.. along with other things going on.. every day is a challenge I will be 50 next week I won't give up..I have to find what can help .. thank you so much for sharing ❤️ I'm searching on holistic diet.. hopefully I can talk to my Dr about it .. changing medication is tough I'll do good then I start to feel bad..
THANX 4 sharing this personal stuff! This & you will help so many hypothyroid sufferers!
I sent you experience off to my 24-year-old granddaughter who has hashimoto's and is going through same things. Appreciate so much you sharing..❤
Thank you for making this video, Mayra. I thought having weight issues, having excessively dry skin, and being tired all the time was possibly a hormone deficiency. I was in my late 50's at that time. I'm glad you talk about seeing a holistic Dr. This is actually a way that a person can heal and it does take longer but medication is a bandaid. I don't think it's a longterm solution as all these meds have side effects too. The first step for me is the blood test to see if it is my thyroid but I suspect it is.😀🌻
I’m pretty new to your channel via Keto and Air Fryer UA-cam connects and wow your are last person I would ever guess w thinning hair, dry skin, lack of energy and all else!
Thanks for sharing with us.
Love listening to you.❤
Thank you for speaking out about the negative side of synthetic thyroid hormone... it nearly killed me...as through dietary changes and chiropractic care, my thyroid began to function on it's own. That combined with the synthetic thyroid hormone the doctor insisted that I must take , caused my heart to palpitate, and my blood pressure to go very high when I had always had lower BP... I stopped taking the hormone and talked the doc into giving me a full thyroid panel ( he only wanted to test for T3)- it showed that I was overloaded and that was the cause of the palpitations and the high BP- it was then that he told me to stop taking the meds... I never told him that I had quit 4 weeks earlier! ( and my levels were still sky high!)- long story short, my thyroid is fine now... and as far as that doc.. we'll, oops! You only get one chance to kill me and you had your shot! I'm outta here!
Glad that you are feeling better than ever now! And yes, stress can be from happy things just as much as not so happy... something for us all to think about!
What did you?
What did you do?
@@deannadonlucas3148 are you asking me or Mayra?
For one, I reduced my inflammation levels.
I have Graves Disease + Hyperthyroidism. It really sucks. Hang in there girl!
Thanks Low Carb Love.
Very informative. Thanks for sharing that very personal aspect of your journey.
I also have a thyroid cancer and they removed my thyroid. I definitely will be on medication rest of my life. Yes it’s nice to know that others have it to.
I’m so glad u made this video I’m definitely suspecting I have thyroid issues a couple days ago so this video really made me realize it more. My blood wrk comes next week. Please let me know the natural way of curing urself. I already have PcoS so I’m feeling really down and depressed. I’m glad u can finally talk about ur journey and bring light to us. My hair is about gone and stress has been a huge impact in my life :( blessing! Ps. Do a hair video
Thank you so much for talking about this. I really appreciate the reminder about holistic doctors which I totally believe in. Most traditional doctors just want to medicate. Glad you are doing much better 🙏
Please talk about what you did for getting your hair back! This girl can use all the help I can get!
When I first saw one of your videos I was drawn to you and it's been about 3 months. And I'm glad I ran across this one for my sister was diagnosed with thyroid disease and among other things and everything you said that was wrong with you is what also my sister had and I'm getting some of those symptoms. Thank you very much for sharing and knowing I can make a change for us both.bless you and I love you dearly💜
My goodness, I’m going through this now and I’m taking the synthetic pill now for two years. I want to do it holistically now!
As a matter a fact, my hair is now starting to fall out I mean alot! Thank you for all the info!!!
My sweet and precious beautiful Mryra,
Thank you! thank you!
I have suffered the exact same thing in every aspect however, I wasn’t so lucky like you got to keep your hair. I do not take a synthetic thyroid medication. I do take armor, which is a animal byproduct basically. But I would love to learn more and more about your holistic and learn more, I would love to get off of these pills for the rest of my life and I will read about what you have done to take care of your thyroid. I can’t begin to tell you how awesome it is to have you do these little talks and I get to hear it that I have gone through the pains that you have suffered and dealt with along with your eating problem, I’m trying not to be stressed out sometimes, so I appreciate your opening up honesty.
My sister-in-law and I watch your videos with done so many suggestions that you have said in your videos, and they are working and delicious and we make so many delicious meals because of you❤ we thank you oh yeah my husband does everything with us and even he loves it!!! Thanks again
Great video. Can you make a video going into depth as to what you did to heal your hypothyroidism...
Thank you for sharing your experience, I see that it'll helpful for many people 🙂
Yes, please let us know what you have or are doing for your hair loss and this whole journey. Thank you so much for sharing. Sending love, XOXO'S.
Thank you for sharing . I suffer from hypothyroidism and I’m steadily gaining weight . Your videos are so informative and inspiring. Im going to apply your suggestions as far as low carb dieting.
Hello!!! Love your videos. I want to thank you for this video. I have hashimotos and hypothyroidism. My thyroid levels fluctuate all the time. I also have adrenal issues as well as fatty liver. I have so many symptoms that have gotten worse throughout the years. It’s so hard. I have more bad days than good days. All I can do is keep on pushing through for myself and my family. I’m a wife and mother to 2 beautiful kids. If you can share more videos like this I would appreciate the help through my journey. God bless you. ❤️😊
Sounds a lot like my story. The latest twist is that I have had a major inflammatory response to Super flu shot(I'm a senior) and both doses of covid vaccinations. It's such a help to connect with others going through the same thing.
See a naturopathic doctor!! I suffered for yearssssss with a thyroid issue. A naturopathic doctor saved my life.
@@sydnicholas3713 unfortunately I live in a very rural area with limited practitioners and I have very limited insurance coverage. In my younger days working as a holistic health counselor in the San Francisco Bay Area and on Maui, I had the luxury of working with very talented alternative Healers. Now, with a much more complex situation, my resources are woefully mainstream. I also am hypothyroid, recovering from severe adrenal burnout, have fatty liver major problem converting T4 to T3. The inflammation I am experiencing m a k e s everything more challenging, especially that conversion.
Thank you for sharing this video. It was very helpful.
This was so awesome and your an inspiration for many. There’s so many of us. It’s an epidemic, sadly. Thank you for sharing and yes, love these type of videos as well. Yes, I have both hypothyroidism and Hashimotos disease. In a nutshell, I was diagnosed in 2009 with the first and in 2018 with Hashimotos. What a journey… and yes, unfortunately I’m on a synthetic hormone since 2009. I’ve learned so much since 2018 and so want to get off my medication but I get no support from my doctors. They basically say it can be fatal. 🙄 I’m uncertain what to do at this point. Knowing what I know now. I can’t afford a holistic dr and have made many changes and feel so much better than I did almost 4 years ago. I hear you about the hard times, dark times for me. So thankful to God those days are gone. I too eliminated dairy, gluten and soy since I’m allergic. I’m also doing what I can naturally and with supplements as well. Stress is my main trigger for me and so I try to manage it. Sometimes I just can’t. Learned alit about giving myself grace. Anyhow, your video is relatable and I appreciate you very much❤️!
I'm feeling the same. Hope you're feeling better at the present. I have hashimotos and I was wondering if you developed facial hair. I did on my chin, side of mouth and upper lip. If so, what did you take for it to stop. My Dr's are of no help and I also can't afford holistic Dr's. I too am under much stress about my health. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I have fibromyalgia, celiac, hypothyroidism and hashimotos and also dealing with hair loss, sugar craving, tired, etc so I probably know what you've been through. It's been a roller coaster ride for me and tired of it.
Thank you, Maria L.
Great video and very helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I have hereditary thyroid issues that my previous Dr identified but my current Dr cannot detect with blood tests. Keto with no dairy helps but I have a very stressful job and I've been trying to plan to manage it but I realize that this is not possible. Thank you for helping me see that.
I pray that you get well soon
Thanks Mayra For This Informative Video, You Inspired Me To Eat Healthier Food and No More Sugars.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I also have Thyroid too. And I still have it.
Damn I’m really listening! You’re being 💯 honest! Thank you!!!
thank you for sharing your story and for pointing out how important it is to live a stress free life as much as possible. i agree that our carnal vehicle is much more important than any material things we may own. i appreciate you and your channel.. blessings!
You’re on the Autoimmune path now. I’ve been on it for ten years. Welcome.
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism during COVID, I wasn't able to eat food which also affected my taste. Using Dr iyaremoses on UA-cam herbal medicine helped get rid of psoriasis..
Thanks for sharing Mayra. Glad you are good now. 😊
Thank you Ron! I appreciate you watching and commenting 😀
Definitely interested in a video about your hair loss. Dealing with this exact issue right now
