Have you noticed doctors just give you Synthroid or Iodine as a solution to your thyroid issues, but these "solutions" are probably hurting your thyroid. Thyroid disease is very common for men and women, and 60 percent of those with thyroid disease are unaware of their condition. There are natural things you can do now to help restart your thyroid. Men and women can have an thyroid issue, but a woman is about five to eight times more likely to be Diagnosed with a thyroid condition than a man. Approximately 1 in 8 women will be affected by a thyroid condition at some point in their lives. Hypothyroidism, a slow thyroid function the most common thyroid issue, and Hyperthyroidism, a fast thyroid function, problems tend to develop slowly, often over a number of years. The standard treatment for hypothyroidism is taking daily thyroid hormone replacement medication, but medications come with side effects. Four common issues associated with the thyroid include Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' disease, goiter (enlarged thyroid), and thyroid nodules.

From what i understand AND have experienced, the discovery of the TSH and ability to measure it, has caused doctors to stop diagnosing by symptoms. I had ALL of the symptoms of hypo and it was bad. My eyebrows shrank to 1/2 their length, my colon was "absolutely packed with faeces" according to an xray my dr did, I was COLD my heart rate was sluggish. And as you said, he did a tsh and said it was in the normal range...I think at the time it was around 3. Fortunately I had done my research and asked for a thyroid antibody test and it was "low positive" and he still insisted my tsh was normal. I said no, please prescribe synthroid because I am NOT normal. I was shortly up to 88 mcg and finally felt normal again. That was easily 7 years ago, in the last couple of years I've been adding a drop of iodine to my daily selenium supplement. Hopefully that's not bad.
Iodine supplementation requires TSH to rise to make sodium symporter needed to move iodine into cell..... so TSH not good marker. Also cortisol is naturally higher in AM and it could interfere with T4 to T3 conversion... I finally figured this out after 2 years! Now I take T3 only in AM, then take NP THYROID (T4 +T3) in afternoon.... finally, it seems to work. Plus I put lugol's in my water.... just enough
Whew, Georgia makes me think of Savannah where they're building Plutonium Pits for the new generation nuclear weapons President Obama called for, besides New Mexico. Makes me postulate about that 34 antibody sigma number.
I liked the little darth vader joke there doc
I an very curious what is your opinion on Lugol’s solution (to apply topicaly)? I do a drop every day until my skin stops absorbing it and then stop for a while. (I don’t have any condition)
Thanks
I'm a male who was diagnosed with Graves disease in my mid-30s. No matter the dosage of methimazole my T3 and T4 hormones were off the charts and wouldn't come down. I developed severe psoriasis and I felt like I was having a heart attack every time I did anything that required exertion. Then my endocrinologist changed my diet and asked me to avoid carbs and replace the calories with organic meat and veggies. I did as she asked and within a few weeks I felt like a different person. Within a few months I was completely off medications.
Can you please explain what exactly you ate the whole day and what not? :) Do you still eat this way or like before?
Please share your endocrinologist contact details? I am suffering since a year now.
A change of diet has helped me so much, it’s been life changing, I’m heading towards remission. This video is so good.
Amazing 👍
My endocrinologist told me changing my diet wouldn’t help me. I fired him.
I pray that everyone here who is searching desperately for help they will find it and be delivered from whatever illness ails them.
Kochany jestes❤
Thank you for your kind words ❤.. the same goes to u.
The same to you and pray for us healing for sickness of thyroid.

I read from a doctor that losol iodine was good for thyroid.
Synthroid almost killed me. I was prescribed it for hypothyroidism and my thyroid started working again. I started having trouble with memory, my neurological system (had tremors and couldn’t control my bowel movements), and developed tachycardia.
They then gave me something to “cool” my thyroid and I still felt horrible. So, I prayed about it and God told me to stop taking everything and to look up treating hyperthyroidism. I found a site (back in line 2005, before the internet became what it is today) and found a blog that mentioned a regiment with vitamins and minerals. It was better than anything else, but I still have issues with tachycardia.
Western medicine is lazy medicine.
You nailed it! Western medicine is lazy!!
American doctors have to follow the sick care protocol. Insurance companies are in control and pharmaceutical companies give incentives so it’s fraudulent too
nope.
Absolutely.
A "regiment" is a group of military as in a squadron or battalion.
I went to an endocrinologist for my Hashimotos thyroiditis, he said " there is nothing I can do for you", Wow, why did he even let me make the appt and drive over an hr to get there. Sure glad I found this caring dr. to explain this to us.
Cuz docs just push pills on us.
Just so he could bill your insurance
We are constantly being used. Scared
Have t speak up in some copacity😅
at LEAST he ADMITTED it! Normally they PRETEND they know what they're doing and PRACTICE on you! THIS doc KNOWS what he's talking about! SO GLAD I found him (just wish it were about 35yrs sooner!)
Absurd. I thought endocrinologists were supposed to be the Drs that knew about thyroid disorders??
I experienced the same thing. Then I found a wonderful endocrinologist that’s caring for my Hashimotos diagnosis and this nodule that I’d like to get rid of. All these years, my thyroid numbers are still within range except the TPO antibodies. So according to this video, keto would be the way to go I guess.
I complained to my doctor (internist) about feeling tired all the time and asked him to check my thyroid and all he did was get the lab to check my TSH, which was normal. Later, I decided to go to a wellness clinic, where they did a full thyroid panel and discovered that my reverse T3 was high. Ask your doctor to do a full thyroid panel.
You need the specialist, endocrine doctor. Family doctors know little to nothing about it, but try to keep you to get the co pay, they many times avoid sending you to specialists which can be dangerous or worse at times, then your on,y recourse when getting worse ends up in a hospital. And get second opinions, different endocrine doctors treat differently, and much depends how you feel, if you feel ok they do nothing, rightfully so. But loosing or gaining weight, mood and sleep changes, and the like, have to be addressed. Not waited on.
I had to ask my doctor to send me for the thyroid test because of weird symptotms without explanation
You can get them to test it, but if they don’t know how to read the tests or treat you, it’s pointless.
If they won't do a whole thyroid panel, go some where else. They don't get it.
Sadly, my experience with endocrinologists is that they also do not have the knowledge needed to effectively treat thyroiditis.
27 years taking synthroid, and Ive been fine all this time. However, I went carnivore last year, and according to blood tests my thyroid is healing. My medication dose is getting lowered, and my thyroid is continuing to heal. It does take time. Everyone is different.
Did you have your antibodies tested regularly? I'm hoping the carnivore (and absolutely no wheat/gluten/dairy) will further help my antibodies to back off.
You've healed damaged thyroid tissue from hashimotos?
Brilliant
Have you ever tried a long term water fast? like 7-14 days?
@@marcuslatrent528was ist das bitte ???
It is very hard to find a professional who is really well informed and willing to think out of the box.
A box that was intentionally and carefully constructed at that.
This wonderful man is a walking human anatomy & physiology book! I just admire and appreciate him so much! I discovered him quite by accident, and thanks to him, I am eating so much healthier and am aging in a very youthful and active manner. Thanks, Doc!
Ditto here
Same here. :)
ME TOO!! JUST 'accidentally' found him TODAY after searching 35 years to find a thyroid doc who knows at LEAST as much as I do so I can STOP TRYING to doctor myself!
No one ever questions why so many people are having thyroid problems. It seems to me, that since we know the thyroid is essential for good health and runs so many systems, it would be targeted if an enemy wanted to strike.
What causes thyroid issues? Why do so many people have thyroid issues today?
I got hypothyroid and Hashimoto after root canal treatment
cortisol stress that’s what did it to me Graves’ disease for 10 years. My eyes can’t take it anymore. They burnt out my thyroid with radiation. I feel like I’m totally screwed.
Stress, anxiety, fear, anger stimulating fight or flight. These all cause inflammation which triggers autoimmune responses. What are bombarded with on a never ending basis?
It's also the chemicals they spray in the air which rains down into the soil plus we breathe in. It's also the flouridated, chlorinated water. It's also the tainted livestock poisoned with antibiotics, steroids, corn and soy. It's also the genetically modified crops treated with chemicals. The pasteurization process which turns dairy into poison. The soaps, laundry detergents, body washes, shampoos, conditioners, make up, antiperspirants, and (syn)thetic clothing we wear which leeches into our pours. The sunscreen that blocks our ability to utilize the sun's rays, plus the cloud seeding that clouds up the sky. The demonization of millennia old natural herbs and remedies and promoting petroleum based pharmaceuticals. The opposite of healthy food pyramid which promotes strachy wheat, breads, gluten, corn, soy, lectins, legumes while demonizing essential saturated animal and plant fats, pushes seed oils and (syn)thetic oils, margarine, not to mention the 24/7 exposure to EMF's from technology thats been integrated into our lives as necessity.
EVERYTHING about our lives has been carefully designed to alter our psychology, make us sick, fat, dumb, and dependent on the system, the medical and pharmaceutical industrial complexes.
It's no coincidence in the 21st century we were supposed to have spiritual enlightenment, world peace, and flying cars and instead all we got was war and cancer
@@dorotapilarczyk2683people don't realize just how significant our mouths are when it comes to our health. I was watching a documentary about how root canals are rarely done correctly and often are essentially festering, infectious wounds leaving us in a permanent state of inflammation from immune response.
'The Iodine Crisis' Lynne Farrow makes interesting reading
My thyroid was killed with Radiation, years ago. I have good days and very bad days. No Doctor seems to help me, they just adjust my medication. I just struggle every day.
What a shame. Doctors here do the same. And many suffer worse after than they did before
Best wishes
It's hard to find a dr that knows what they are doing in this area
Infelizmente é a mais pura verdade 😢
I just got dx with Hashimoto’s. The only reason I was able to get the test is because my sister has it. I’ve been begging for the antibodies test for years and told no. But once I was able to say my family member had it, they tested and I was proven right. I shouldn’t be this hard to get tested.
Yeah medical field sucks. I learned the only way to get tested further is you HAVE to claim a family member has it or it runs in the family. Ridiculous
@@sapfinebeauty4752 well I’ve been telling my doctors for at least 5 years about my sisters diagnosis. She really does have it.
@@Southernheathen13 which is insane it took that long. Some doctors just aren’t that serious about their patients health, while others are. More like a hit and miss with a doctor from my experience.
😊that's just how the allopathic world works! Just tell them you think it's heredity! They grab the ir test and prescription pads right away! For them that's just so easy! Nothing to think thru or experiments to do....sometimes they try to TELL you that you have a certain disease because it might be in the news currently! And that's without testing you!! This is past crazy! It's criminal!
@@sapfinebeauty4752
Doctors are now limited and controlled by the bean counters who of course have no medical training at all.
Its all about the 💰🤑 not the patients now
I fixed mine from Graves with only eating cruciferous veggies for 3 months. I went from severe to normal . Have been normal for 12 years now.
what cruciferous veggies did u eat and how?
Yes, could you please give us a list
A list would be great please! Also, how do you eat now to manage it?
Brilliant
Wow! So inspiring!
Now I Will do my brocolli!
🙌
Ended up in emergency… doc said it was the highest level hes ever seen… full blown thyroid storm. i was very sick. Seed Probiotics fixed me. 6 months med free.
If you dont mind me asking but what are seed prebiotics? I hope you feel better soon.
Yes let us know what seeds are those
Hey we got questions.....
You just dropped a bomb and walked away? 😊help
@@MonaGlam10I imagine they are referring to Seed synbiotics. It’s a dual capsule pre/probiotic combo. Been on it for a few years. The best on the market
In Sweden T4 and T3 is measured i pmol/L and TSH i mIE/L. How does it change the numbers for me regarding to what it's mentioned i this video?
A doctor that also knows about nutrition?! Now that’s new.. Thank you for taking the time to explain this so well. Knowledge is power. 👍🏻
Indeed, he is a unicorn!
Dr Mandell on utube can help with the nutrition and much more
Look him up he helped so many people even myself hope that helps you 😊
First complete and clear explanation seen/heard in 20 odd years! Thanks. I wish all physicians could be as well informed......would save us patients being dragged through countless hit and miss scenarios and wasting time.
Quacks the majority.
I Agree. I need my toe looked at. First they want me to do colonoscamy, an EKG, a mammogram, Ultra sound, blood panel. LOOK AT MY TOE! I am older, so I am now a cash cow. There is nothing , can be done for getting older. Feces checked, urine test. Look at my toe!
My GP tells me that they have to follow the NHS guidelines, so diet advice. These kind of videos and some books have helped me to get my levothyroxin prescription down from 175mcg to 100mcg in 2019. Now again trying to get it down gradually until remission, hopefully within 12 months. My tsh readings have been going down in the last 9 months. In UK, tsh has to be less than 0.21. Last time it was 0.91, before that 2.25 and higher before than. So it is very slow process even with a right diet and the right supplements. I shall know within 2 weeks if there is a reduction in my levothyroxin prescription.
I meant no diet advice from my GPs. I have to do my own research by watching these videos and practicing the diet and supplements suggested.
MDs have to follow the set guidelines that the AMA and hospitals enforce. They follow like sheep and get their paycheck. We all must take our health into our own hands and we are so fortunate to have practioners like Dr. Ekberg helping us find the truth and the solutions!
As a Nursing student and a hypothyroid patient - thank you so much for the clear explanation. 👍🏻🙌🏻
Stay holistic!
Hi I have a thyroid can U help me get to rid
@@socratese5did you help yourself holistically? If that makes sense. Lol
Same here🙂
I had asked my GP doctor if it was possible to heal my (hypo) thyroid via nutrition and supplementation. There was a slight hesitation, then he replied, “Absolutely not.”
I found a wonderful GP shortly after that. I've been off thyroid meds for 1.5 yrs now, and I've lost 103lbs all through slowly reconstructing my nutritional intake with a goal to become more healthy. The weight loss was a side effect of my continual research of nutrition/ supplementation, and applying what I had learned to myself.
No more inflammation in my body! This did not happen overnight, it was a slow but worthy process that took time and a sincere desire to become healthy again.
If you wouldn't mind, what did you do exactly, please? Thank you.
I am curious too if u can answer pls
@@ohheyhowyoudoin9635 if there is no answer my friend, he or (she) is not a good person.
How did you do it? What were the 5 steps to start?
@star5977 Everybody ask you a question ?
This was so much great information. My husband has been suffering with goiter for a year now, he throat has been swollen for 6 months and an extra baseball size one appeared 3 weeks ago out of no where and our family doc could not even give us any proper diagnosis or help and i kept pointing out it was his thyroid. He missed diagnosis him 4 times already and that has caused his health to worsen. 2 days ago our daughter stressed that dad needs to go to emergency because he is always sick and can't breathe properly. My husband finally went to the hospital and we got the right diagnosis. I must say I am happy with the information I have found. Thanks.
I’m dealing with this for a long time had no idea what was going on. I had all these problems, feelings, weak, tired, horsey, throat among other things then I was diagnosed with audio immune disease now I was told my thyroid bloodwork come back and it was elevated so now we’re looking at that I am a combat veteran with PTSD and I’m finding out stress has a lot to do with what’s going on. This makes a lot of sense. Thank you very much. Thanks.
I got diagnosed with graves disease 6 years ago. I still am currently stuggling. I refuse to take my thyroid gland out. Im now trying to treat it naturally. I am taking bugleweed extract and lemon balm tea. Most of the information i see out there is about hypothyroidism. I would love to see an informative video like this, specifically about hyperthyroidism. I think it will help many us.
I agree!
I agree, 2 years in and i just keep coming across hypo not hyper, graves disease like i have videos😢
Same. I struggle with the same thing. It’s really eatting up my life. My doctor tried to tell me to take my thyroid out and I refuse. Medication was starting to make me feel sick and I’m not taking it anymore. I wish there was a better way to treat
Exactly!!!
@Tenni Shoe yes, you're correct. It can be life threatening if some one with graves goes into a storm.
All the more the reason why people should put out information.
I’m a 62 and I was just diagnosed with low thyroid my way off chart trying to find a natural way to help my thyroid thanks for video
I appreciate the vast amounts of educational material you share, Dr. Ekberg, but, equally, I appreciate your sense of humor. Keep up the great work!
I think I have needed you for 70 years. I think you so very much for this video in particular. This is my first step toward health to undo all the bad advice
I have hyperthyroid for many years and my doctor has never explained it the way this doctor did, he got to the root of things and how to help solve the problem, my doctors have only told me to take the meds to control it not how to help solve it, so thank you and I will be trying some of the suggestions you mentioned .
Your measured, articulate speech and relaxed speed in delivering this new, complex information really hits the ball out of the park. Your metaphorical explanations are hugely helpful. Have put off my annual "checkup" for several years because of my prejudice that I'd just get a "standardized" approach to what I suspect is a thyroid difficulty. Your post gives me the education I need to speak intelligently about this to my doctor. Many thanks, Doctor.
P.S. I did get thyroid and full blood panels. Thyroid 100 percent, but rbc so low, doc suspects some gastrointestinal blood loss. Next week I see *those* specialists, then come back to check with you, Dr Ekberg.
Very well said!!
Yes he is fantastic
Throw synthetic at you and poof...I got electric like brain zaps,haven't been able to treat sub par
I've had a lot of immune problems and my male doctor didn't believe I had PCOS So I seen a female doctor who did tests and I was correct. You spoke better about hormones than my Male doctor
You are right I believe ❤
Are you going to change to a female doctor?
Nutrition and exercise too are v imp. Stress management and eating natural foods.
Man hater
Dr E. Your lecture on thyroid and Hashi was so explicit. In the 47years I’ve suffered with this disease (had half thyroid removed and never went on meds in ‘97 and searching for a provider to handle my case I may have just enough information to ask the right questions and not keep taking the same meds (8.8mcg) without having any relief! Thank you,thank you,thank you❤
Thank you for an important and great video! I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 2002. I had NO symptoms. I was misdiagnosed in my opinion. It was my diet, if anything. Since early 2019, I have been doing healthy keto and intermittent fasting. I eat OMAD. I am slowly getting off Synthroid. No doctor because they all say this drug you have to take forever. I am down to one pill a day. I have been slowly coming off Synthroid since January. I will take my last one in two weeks. My hair has started to get thicker and I feel better. Maybe it's because I want off this drug that bad. I've done my research. I was misdiagnosed in 2002 AND I never should have been put on Synthroid. Anyway, I'm NOT suggesting that anyone do this but when I set my mind to something, I'm going to do it. I also include Brazil Nuts (Selenium), Sea Kelp, Trace Minerals, Magnesium, LTyrosine, and some others.
Just started watching your videos have been in a bad place for nearly three months now - suspecting Hashimoto or some kind of Autoimmune problem… your videos are the best and most informative!
Thank you Sir
Wow! Great video Dr. Ekberg. The problem is finding a doctor willing to find the root cause.
Sad but true!
Please consult a good Ayurvedic doctor from India. Follow Dr Dimple Jangia on Instagram. She has a lot of info on this.
The problem isn’t the doctor who doesn’t want to order but government who doesn’t pay for it
@@lilylelob not government, corporate America.
Thank you Doctor trust me millions of people are benefiting from you sharing this knowledge may the Lord bless you, your family also the team behind the camera. From Johannesburg South Africa 👍💕
the best explanatory video on the thyroid, 100 years ahead of almost all doctors and professionals I have met. Replaceable by an app, without empathy.
I absolutely love how you explain how the body works! You are so informative!!
Thank you so much I have been going crazy for years and dr's are not listening and don't do these blood tests, even when I have asked I get told all fine. I'm in UK. I look forward to getting these tests you said and then talk with Dr as I'm talking loads of tablets mouth sprays and gels and eye drops and I am now blind in one eye and right eye loosing sight as well. I am so very blessed and grateful and appreciative of your hard work showing us we can be healed not suffering indoors all time and awake a few hours a day. Love Bernadette west Yorkshire UK thank you so much xox
Dr. Elbert, your voice is so calming,and your information well presented; it’s almost meditational. If I have you playing after I’ve done yoga, the information just absorbs so easily whereas I normally have huge attention deficit problems. :)
I started taking 12.5 mg of iodine/iodide with a little K+ and Mg, and 1 gram of L-Tyrosine at bedtime. I already take a good MVM supplement with additional B and C. All hypothyroid symptoms were gone in about 2-3 weeks.
Then, did you kept taking it ?
Que es MVM?
@@lilianasanchez5472
Multi Vitamin Mineral supplement.
This is so valuable! I had thyroid issues for 20+ years and this is the first time i found a clear explanation. Thanks so much! Dr! You are saving lives here! God bless!
This was such a thorough video! Thank you for taking the time to explain! It was extremely helpful!
It took over 20 years to finally get diagnosed with hypothyroidism…I had all the symptoms but no one listened.
That's terrible. How did you even survive for so long without treatment? I've been told my hyperthyroidism would've finished me off in 6-8 years if untreated.
@@nvmffs it was very difficult…I had to move to the US where I finally got diagnosed and treated. Canada is very behind the times in medicine. And before I get grief from some unaware Canadians, I am an RN and worked and lived in both countries..li have a better perspective than those in Canada who feel they are “superior”…they are not.
Where did you find someone to listen? I had a pcp tell me I have autoimmune hashimotos. Went to confirm with wrong endocrinologist. She disagreed with my pcps results. I live in TX. Can anyone reading this please suggest where I can get a proper diagnosis? The daily symptoms I'm struggling with seem unbearable at times. I just turned 66 btw. Hopefully not TMI...
@@sheshlane I found a doctor in Asheville, NC to diagnose me. But I had done tons of research and went in armed with books I had read. I learned that hypothyroidism is one of the most under treated diseases today. It was a 20 year journey of profound frustration, fatigue, allergies, infertility, and just plain bad health, but I never gave up. I am now on compounded natural thyroid meds…and that was also an uphill battle to get that med prescribed rather than the Synthroid that only helped for awhile, until it didn’t any longer. Doctors will fight you tooth and nail over this one. Only those of us willing to fight ever get proper treatment sad to say. I am 64.
Did you go Radioactive treatment?
I hope you know how many people you have helped, Dr. Thank you again.
Dr. Ekberg,
You are absolutely CORRECT!
I took iodine drops for about 3 months; then, suddenly, my hair started falling out in clumps. It never stopped. Massive hair loss continues. And, I took it WITH selenium.
Excellent presentation. Even as a RN for almost 30 years, I truly now understood how the thyroid works.
...that's sad that you can only learn from UA-cam fraud 'doctors'...makes me think you should be in medical at all
Just got my RN last year. . .when I watched his first thyroid video I was like "how can you talk about thyroid health without talking about liver health? Why wasn't this stressed in nursing school?"
Same here 40 yrs.
@@bethanykittok3903?
Just wanted you to know how much I enjoy your videos...you do such a great job of explaining things in an easy way to understand.
Doc, so far you have been the most articulate in explaining the variables in thyroid ailments. I've suffered sorness in my neck and went to the doctor and explained my symptoms of all that you've mentioned . Blood work was done. Biopsy of my thyroid was done and all was normal. Endocrinologist simply told me "well we can remove the thyroid and you'll be on meds for the rest of your life". I'm still living with the condition. But, now I know what to say to the doctors. Thank you.
Had hypothyroidism for years and had to be on meds. I tried keto and did one meal a day as often as I could. Four months later my doctor was confused by my blood work. She lowered my dose and told me to come back in two weeks and do another test. I did and my numbers were even lower. Two weeks after that she took me completely off, said I didn’t need it anymore but she didn’t know why. I know why. I’m doing carnivore now and my energy is coming back and my menopause symptoms are almost nonexistent.
Awesome
Keto günde bir öğün yemek demek midir Bende de aynı hastalıktan var onun için soruyorum
Is your blood type zero? Because blood type zero is suitable for a carnivorous diet.
Outstanding Dr. Ekberg. Nobody explain this better than you do.
OMG 😳 I have all the symptoms, except the goiter, and I can’t simply let my doctor order synthiroid (sp?) for me. Instead I have to fix 9 or more possible lifestyle habits which may cause the symptoms.😵💫🫣🫤😩 Piece of cake, Dr. Ekberg!🤸🏻♀️
Dr. Ekberg explained the thyroid functions so well and make it so easy to understand.
Do you know step one is the hardest - finding a practitioner who gives a fk to really help you. So many are struggling getting doctors to work with you because theyre like robots conditioned to the mainstream. Then their ego comes at you and you're gaslighted.
AI controls their little iPad and gives the care plan based on the limited tests that it allows. Unfortunately the same "geniuses" that program auto-correct, mispronounce easy words on AI read books or on map quest, are the same ones writing these medical diagnosis and care plans. The lab coat wearing body is just theater, soon to be replaced by a robot.
Amen on that!
If your doctor is an MD (medical doctor), they are required to prescribe pharma (pills). They CANNOT tell you to take some moringa, maca root or algae to help your root cause. They don’t even try to FIND the root cause - they only treat the symptoms. You need to find a naturopathic doctor, but there aren’t very many AND they are NOT covered by insurance. I finally found one and I live in the 7th biggest city in the United States. I am on a 6 month program that costs $4,700. The list of symptoms I have were not treated AT ALL! He said we need to treat the ROOT cause and ALL those symptoms would disappear. What a refreshing statement! The price will anger and repel most people, but I’ve seen what happens when an autoimmune disease goes untreated. I don’t want to be that person!
Your comprehensive knowledge of thyroid function is impressive. I wish I could find a doctor here that approached treatment the way you explain. It's just hit or miss balancing labs with a T4 replacement.😒
You got a new camera. The video quality is much better.
I was wondering about my thyroid yesterday given my past bad habits. It is strange that you happened to upload a video about it. Convenient, thank you!
Who invented this system called ”a human being”?? Also other creatures, cats, dogs, birds… All the chemistry of nature is so amazing!
Jesus did...aka God. ✝️
Wow. What a video I wish this was explained to me 30 years ago. Holler s. Chart should be taught in every high school. What an eye-opener.
This is the most comprehensive presentation regarding Thyroid health. Thank you!🙏🏻
One of most educational videos I’ve ever seen on thyroid issues - and I’ve been watching them regularly since the beginning of UA-cam!
Heads down, the best video about the complex problem of thyroid issues. Thanks!!!!
Thank you Dr Sten, Excellent presentation and highly informative, you have made me aware of many other factors that I have missed. I will be getting another TFT done and will pay more attention.
I just took neomercazole and propranolol for my hyperthyroidism and then click on youtube and got recommended to this. Thank you so much dr. Nuff love from jamaica 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲
Dr. You explain everything so thoroughly. Thank you for doing so for all of us!
A truly simple yet comprehensive explanation of thyroid issues. Thank you, Dr Eckberg. I wish all doctors are like you.
Right, my Dr's are stupud
Are you a doctor?
Thank you for this incredibly clear explanation of such a complex issue. I always found it so confusing…not so much anymore!
Thank you for the very extensive and compact information over this not uncommon issue.Not many doctors has same approach. 🤔
you have been instrumental in helping me improve my health, and i thank you for that, good work.
Must be Friday - eaten so bad this week - must try harder! Thank you for the brain boost. Have a most brilliant weekend everyone. ⭐⭐⭐
Wow awesome video! Your the only one the explain this issue truly in dept so far. Your amazing and God sent. Thank you so much.
I appreciate you so much I don’t even know you but the fact you took the time to share this with us all I can say for now is thank you for giving us so much clarity!!
Very valuable - and so refreshing to see a doctor who values people getting well over money! And who addresses causes (the two go together!)...It would seem that lousy water, excesses (or any amount) of lousy grains and massive stress are the root cause of so many health problems. As Joel Salatin says, we have an agricultural system that cares not about health and a health system that cares not about food. One day we will have an accounting system that includes ALL costs!
@ Dr. Ekberg,
Your presentations are NOTHING LESS THAN SUPERB. It certainly must take lots of time to create these highly educational videos. Thank you 🙏 very much for uploading and sharing them with all of us here via UA-cam. I am truly honored to be one of your "students."
Thank you Julietta🌹 Aragon. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
@@drekberg I agreed with Julietta, I have hipo hashimoto. I do everything you explained here, but what I do is the iodine, I take "spirulina" plus the thyroid supplement, I live in a rented apartment and how can I put here a filter for the water as you mentioned. I boiled the water and filtered, no carbos, etc. but the stress....well what can I tell you. life is already a problem and difficult. Thank you for this amazing explanation. sending a hug from Canada. 🤗
I couldn’t have said it better. Your videos that you worked so hard on to educate us, are so helpful that in the long run we are better for it and we thank you for all the work you do.
@@adrianavelez415 Hi Adriana you can find at Home depot some filters and you can put under the sink cabinet, and change filters every year.God lack.
@@drekberg dear sir pls explain same video in hindi pls pls pls
Brilliant analysis and education. I have been misdiagnosed as all good.... when I am actually Hypo (with Hypo symptoms). I will now have my endocrinologist looking at auto immune disease, conversion and gut areas as well.
Thank you doc. I had hyperthyroidism 4 yrs now. I’m taking half tab methimazole. Every 3 months lab. Thank God getting better.
I am so thankful to find this video! Thank you so much. You have made me feel less crazy with my medical concerns. This video is life changing for me. Thank you doctor.
Thank you, thank you for this! I have improved every health marker except my thyroid! I reversed type 2 diabetes got off all medications including high blood pressure but my thyroid TSH is still off. Have been on levothyroxine for years with no improvement. This video was one of the clearest on hypothyroid on UA-cam. It was clear and understandable and now I know what to go over with my doctor.
Hello Maria how are you doing over there?
Don't forget your thyroid needs iodine and selenium.
Filtering your water is super important!
I was 28 when I got first symptoms of thyroid issues, 32 when I finally got diagnosed and got meds. After 2 years from that I moved to southern town about 1.5 hours from here due to work for half a year. During that time I lost 20 kg and felt my life was back on track. After I moved back, only 3 months and I was my normal size again. I didn't emphasize that any way. Because of that I have thought about water connection to thyroid but no-one believes me. I know this is an environmental disease, nothing else will explain it. I have tried all kinds of diets, exercises, stress relief programs. Nothing helps. I will no start buying my water as well, let's see if that helps. Thank you for really great video!
Hi! There is definitely a water connection bc if there is a high level of fluoride in the water, which is a hormone disruptor that negatively impacts the thyroid. Fluoride interferes with your bodies ability to properly absorb iodine which is critical for optimal thyroid health and performance. For this reason it is best to drink purified water, install a reverse osmosis filter if using tap water and use glass bottles due to the plastic toxins interfering with thyroid function as well. You may also want to increase your iodine intake to offset the effects of fluoride and flush out excess. Eat iodine rich seafood, like cod and shrimp a few times a week, a few servings of seaweed, eggs and potatoes also contain iodine. Also use a fluoride free toothpaste.
@@mamasshrimp422 Thank you! This is the first time I heard that fluoride is a hormone disruptor impacting the thyroid.
@@MaryBarranti I’m so happy this information was able to help you! 😘
@@mamasshrimp422 eggs and potatoes, or (anything for that matter) raised on land that is deficient in iodine, will not provide iodine. If you’re living in an iodine deficient geographical are you must supplement.
Personally, I drink distilled water only. FYI, take a thermos or some other closed container, put tap water in one, distilled in the other, let sit for 1-2 days. Made my decision.
I loved the reminder it's a spiritual battle and to keep loving those who have not yet found the Lord, God bless it was a great sermon!
Thank you Dr Sten for the informative and clear explanation on thyroid issues. Hope you can have a video on Grace Disease - hyperthyroidism . It has very very limited information online
Just came across this video and I'm floored. My thyroid dx started in my teens & I've spent 40 years looking for answers. Pre-pandemic my then Dr - after several lab tests - simply said "well it certainly seems there's something autoimmune going on". That was it. My thyroid peroxidase result was 220 ... and this video shows max 34. My result was TWO HUNDRED TWENTY!! I'm absolutely floored that my Dr blew this off. They closed their doors during the pandemic & I basically gave up but the last several months I've had increased problems, most alarming has been some days my arms and legs become so weak the mere act of a shower and getting dressed takes hours. I have an appt with an endocrinologist but that's months away. Praying I'll finally get my answers and so glad to have this video to continue educating myself on this horrible disease. Thank you Dr. Ekberg, truly glad to be a new sub to your channel!!❤
Good luck to you. I haven’t found an endo that cares enough or listens to do more testing. They always just prescribe meds.
@@bml4646try going to a reputable functional medicine practitioner
This is such a helpful and thorough explanation of thyroid function. Thank you!
How can I thank you enough for this information! So very sad to say, but very little good help from local physicians, but with your help I can move ahead with healing. What you do is probably life-saving!! And certainly life-changing!
Out of 30 or so videos I watched on thyroid this is most useful. Big thank you!
I wish we all have that capacity of the holistic doctor.
What an excellent presentation of such an important health issues that most of the GP missed to explain therefore patients misunderstood its implication. Im an experienced 35+ RN but i have never seen this kind of thorough explanation about thyroid health. Thank you very much for educating us! God bless! 🙏❤️
...you seem like someone who easily falls for scams like this
Yes God Bless You Doctor You are amazing!
@@xposed11 YOU are the scammer!!! People please BEWARE of this individual!
Great video!! Thanks for such an in-depth explanation of the complex workings of the thyroid. Now, I finally have an understanding of what's going on in my body and what I can do to heal and feel better. I appreciate this info so much!!
The best video I've watched about thyroid issues (and I've watched a LOT!) Thank you this video
So much information these days, imagine how many people suffered and died due to lack of this information in centuries gone by?! We are truly blessed to have this medical data in our time. Thanks to Dr.Sten Ekberg and doctors like him. I have hypothyroidism and if I am off my game I know it's my thyroid.
So informative! Could you please do a video on hyperthyroidism? I know it’ll be really helpful to others.
Yes that is what Iam dealing with. Little information is our there about it
Me too🙏🙏🙏
Same
I wish I could give this video way more than just one thumbs up. Thank you for the very clear explanation.
I’m a Functional Med Nutritionist with a background in physiology. That’s one of the best overviews I’ve seen. Leave it to physiology to connect the dots. Excellent and clear work. Thank-you.
I am one of those guys without a functioning thyroid . Been on Levythyroxine for at least a year now . Recently I have begun the OMAD and 2MAd methods of eating only whole foods and have noticed an improvement in my energy and decrease in body aches that my thyroid meds never gave me .
Seems like low carb is the answer to all health issues. Amazing
I hope you mean this sarcastically.
I dont believe keto is ALL.
@@maryannowens8583 Keto is a good way to heal chronically high blood sugar. Healthy people like this good doctor here allows himself to eat healthy carbs now and then because he's very insulin sensitive. His videos are addressing those that are at the point of developing issues, and the best way to heal it quickly is to reduce that blood sugar as much as possible and get as much nutrition as possible while doing it.
@@maryannowens8583 If I had to choose I would choose keto diet over nutrition with added sugars. But everybodys free to believe what he likes.
Yes because it reduces inflammation! 🤔
A perfectly clear, beautiful and concise explanation of how such an important organ like the thyroid works in the human body. Thank you for making this video for us. You have a great talent and a God given gift for making the complexities of the human body simple to understand.
If anyone is interested. Last summer of 2022, I began taking a sea kelp enhanced iodine and those had a huge improvement in my day-to-day life and sleeping. I take my 100 mcg thyroid med in the morning, but wait until the afternoon to take the sea kelp with lunch. The first timat that I took it, I began to get sleepy within 30 minutes. At first I took a pill every day for the first month but I now take it just a couple of times a week.
Always informative, always helpful and easy to understand. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg!
A couple of points the Medical profession doesn't know about. Goiters rarely occur here in the states, due to halogen poisoning. The Iodine receptor, when filled with other halogens, cause miscommunication (Usually comes across as some sort of body pain). However, it also prevents goiters from being formed. Fibromyalgia is in fact, Bromine poisoning, usually due to drinking acidic (bromine is that tart flavor) drinks like Mountain Dew for decades. As an aside, "almost all" apparent negative reactions to Iodine are in fact caused by a detox reaction. If it's not detox it means you are also deficient in in the other required co-factors needed for regulation of the thyroid. To Your Great Health!
@@pastthefog6514 uh....no
So do you think it would be ok to take iodine without causing too much of an autoimmune flare up?
I have had fibromyalgia for about 40 years but never drunk rubbish like Mountain Dew( 🇬🇧). Never smoked or eaten meat for years so cannot see that. Did have childhood trauma though?
That is so interesting. I want to learn more where can i?

Thank you Dr.Sten for your explanation of thyroid function which was very helpful for me.
What an impressive, Professional lesson! 👍
As a long-term patient being forced to research on my own and to educate myself about Hashimoto's I thought I would know everything about this disease including the mechanisms, supplements & Co.
But today I learned the first time about Harrower's Chart. Never heard before...
It's sad that there's so low Information between health practioners in Europe. Seems that in the US medical information level is much higher.
Thank you a lot for your detailed informations! 👍
Dr Ekberg, you've rocked this topic here! TY so much. 🥰 When I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's at 51, my new PCP ran labs which thankfully included the antithyroid peroxidase. Mine was 1,505 , she said it should have been 9 which solidified in her mind that I've had this a long time. (Boy, my health would've been so much better if a doctor would've caught this during my early 20's when I was having babies.) I began taking specific essential oils and it dropped to about 500 in 2 months, and then down to 53 a couple months later. She was so thrilled with my results and said keep doing what I'm doing. Consistency is key as well as a strict AIP diet. That said, I'd love to connect with you & your team to have oversight and follow through since my PCP is a hospitalist now and my current doctor said she's not up to speed on these labs & issues. (I see her Tuesday.)
What essential oils where you using?
@@Peachypooh377 I had made 2 roller bottle recipes and alternated between them each AM & at bedtime. I'll try to find this thread when I have time to look it up for you, but 🤔 maybe there's a better way to send it to you. Sorry I'm not uber tech savvy and tight on time at the moment.
Which essentially oil you used plz tell me?
Please if you find time pm or share the oils
What essential oils and how much?
Wow! You are a dream doctor, mr Ekberg! I have a thyroid problem but nobody can diagnose what it is. Unfortunately, I am in Brazil, otherwise I would certainly pay you a visit. I watch all your videos but I have never watched this one. You are a light in the darkness of medicine! Be happy and healthy ❤🙏🏻
Getting selenium from eating Brazil nuts would be good for you. Hopefully you can find some where you live, LOL. Best of luck. Also, if you're able to get Korean kimchi where you're at, it is very good for the stomach biome. Any fermented vegetable is very good for you and kimchi has the natural good bacterias for healthy digestion. Usually kimchi has garlic in it too which is very healthy for you.
in Brazil there are many good doctors in the main cities; even they can treat you better than in the USA. and run more tests and everything; have a look.
@@littlebear7440- I have researched extensively and long. Dr Ekberg is one of the best in the world for his deep understanding about the relationship between food and health. The majority of doctors will "treat" you with allopathic medicine, which in sum, is the oil medicine introduced my Rockefeller at the beginning of the xx century. I've already cured myself from adenocarcinoma stage by quitting chemo, cutting sugar, increasing fiber and promoting gut bioma + supplements, because our food lacks os proper nutrients. Work on your peace of mind. Negative emotions are the open door for diseases. I've been diagnosed with multi nodular non-toxic thyroid. Brazilian doctors are not different from other good doctors around the world. The problem come from their training in treating symptoms instead finding the real cause of the symptoms. There is much more to say about it but I think I've said the basic approach I take. Thank you very much for your kind reply! Take care and be happy 💜🙏
Most doctors don't tell you that thyroid issues can be a result of serious trauma. I had a lot of childhood trauma and then was diagnosed with hypothyroid in my 20's when I began doing the shadow work, opening the flood gates.
Also, the FDA used to add iodine to food that we consume normally but realized the health benefit (like killing cancer cells) so they stopped including it. I was told by a DO to begin taking iodine drops every day to replenish the thyroid cells.
Doesn't Help help with underactive Thyroid?😅

@@jadwigarzewuski3496iodine is required for a healthy thyroid. It’s essential to create t4 t3 t2 and t1.
Why not just eat eggs? 4-5 per day is your full requirement for selenium and iodine. A bit of yogurt is packed with a ton of iodine
