There is nothing better than a doctor who has had his or her own health issues. They have empathy and they investigate the best options
AMEN 💯
Just like a therapist who is personally trauma informed.
Yep, or if they have a close family member!!
👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌
Absolutely! So true! 💯
I believe it’s criminal that Drs are not doing more for people with thyroid problems. Ignorance is not excepted in other professions so why are we excepting ignorance in Drs? I have had thyroid problems for a long time and I blame Drs for this. Instead of giving me antidepressants instead of fixing my gut or check me for toxins.
I appreciate Drs like Dr Gupta. He is what more Drs should try to be like.
Doctors who help cure patients won’t make any money. Also the pharmaceutical companies will not make that much money either. It’s better to keep everyone sick.
Omgosh so true!! I went last year and was told that my levels were within normal levels. I went back and they were just outside of normal and was told they were barely outside normal. I insisted on more so they did an ultrasound, found 3 nodules one of them large, then was told to recheck in a year. Wtf?! I'm still having symtopms! So now they are sending me to an ear, nose and throat specialists, but said they likely won't treat my low thyroid. 🤦🏼♀️
Going 100% Carnivore for 3 months was the answer for me. Slowly reintroduced low carb, low lectin goids, fixed sleep etc was the answe for me
I've been doing so since December. Let's see what next week's blood test says
I m on day 3 of carnivore but it's very difficult and I am not feeling good ..
Did you eat fruits and veggies into it? How did you manage to get vitamins and minerals? Bcz I m not feeling good after the carnivore diet . I feel fatigued after it..
@@glowingmomworld carnivor is tough till you get past the carb "detox".
@@jameslong1644 I agree with you but for carnivore diet we should have options in meat...in india I just had eggs and chicken.. and few says we can't have eggs in Hashimotos...what is true and what is not? So I can't eat just chicken and they eat only corn...so what option do i have left .. if I were in USA then it would be much easier for me...bcs Indians can't digest lot of meat and the weather is very very hot here...I used to feel pukish and constipated for the whole day...so now i eat eggs in breakfast, chicken plus rice in lunch and eggs or any veggies in dinner...I can't do more than that...
😂 Yesterday my primary care doctor told me that I have Hypothyroid and there is nothing I can do other than take medicine even though my T4 levels are totally normal. I asked if I could change my diet and she said: Nope! She didn’t even asked if I feel any problem like fatigue or tiredness. I have no problem. But she said “You need to take medicine” so she could earn more money through me as a new patient. 😂 We are living in a wild world and we need to be really more conscious about our own health! Thank you. 🙏🏼
Any antibodies tested?
@@emilyemily6316 Yes. It was also perfectly normal.
you are so lucky! I assumed you had antibodies and Hashi's because the video is about those. Do what you can, ASAP!@@gmze.b
This angers me. I have been hearing that digestive tract is totally separate from everything else for decades but we know it's ALL connected! Food is medicine.
So, how are you going today?
Mate! I had to check if my playback speed was set to 2x! 😅
LOL. I was already listening on 2x when he started. 😂
Treatment starts around 12:00
Thanks, JM
Thank you ❤
As a side note on oral health. I got a water pic more than 5 years ago and it has been a godsend for my oral health. I use the appliance brush with 4 sprouts of bristles recommended for kids with braces instead of a toothbrush. Since doing that my gum health has improved tremendously and my dentist is amazed. I used to get too much wear and tare at the gum line with brushing and the water treatment removes the tartar and resolves the issue of teeth to tight to floss. I only floss if some seed is stuck. The hygienist has much less work than before. I have several caps but all 32 of my permanent teeth at the age of 73. I do not tell my dentist about my routine. Also with trying to loose weight with hashimoto’s and now osteoporosis increasing my protein, reducing my carbs especially grains and sugar along with intermittent fasting has helped me loose 20 lbs. it is a journey and you have to figure out what works for your body and what you can stick too long enough and consistently enough to gain some results.
It is sad that most insurance do not cover functional medicine, especially when that is where we need to be as a Hashimoto's patient! My traditional endocrinologist won't refer me to Cleveland Clinic Function medicine (although his treatment is not working) and you cannot even get on a wait list anymore to get in. Some things are so backwards in the world! As a person with Hashimoto's, we are cursed with a life of just "dealing" with it. :(
Well yeah, insurance companies exist because of drugs. If you go naturopathic you don’t need insurance companies but for emergencies where they would lose money.
Insurance is a racket, just like the drug companies, they aren't there to get us well.
That new shingles shot triggered my issues. I had zero problems before getting that. Within the months after series one I was having joint pain, sunburn rashes, and just felt unwell. I didn’t put this together with the immunization so went and got series two. I had extremely painful rashes which sent me to a specialist (dermatologist) who said my skin was falling off! She diagnosed me with high thyroid and autoimmune. Sorry to say but I’ll warn anyone who will listen to not be a lab mouse as I inadvertently became. The people selling these shots don’t care about you - they care about the 50 bucks they will get for promoting it. Some immunizations have been around a long time but anything that hasn’t is a risk.
i got sick after i toolk twinrix shots 12vyears ago. got hoshimotos.shots have been tdoing this to people since 2000
Which one was that? How did you find out it was from the shot?
@@sheridansplace1607 Correct! ..Correlation doesnt equal 'Causation'!😉
Anything causing a immune reaction can be a trigger, that means all so called immunizations can do it, does not matter how “old” they are. By definition they activate the immune system, that IS their purpose. No one cannot control how our bodies “read” that immune activation. So this is always a risk with these, just like exposures to infections, to heavy metals or to mold could do the same thing. They are triggers.
Sounds like your thyroid Not the shots was to the culprit.. Never heard of this reaction, the shots are promoted to fend off painful shingles for most... SORRY it gave you a tough one to deal with.... Did your Dr not know about your thyroid issues, ask about ALL that to determine if you should be immunized or not... That's the miss'n piece 🧩 I'd Def put that experience online as a causionary for people with the Same issue, so they Can talk to their Drs in dept, be Sure it's Safe for them!
I Hope you are much recovered and your thyroid is heal'n, well monitored so you have far less concerns, suceotibility as a result! 🙏🏼
My new year resolution was to start my morning with dry brushing, end my shower with cool water, and finish my day with a castor oil pack in bed. These are on top of all the other protocols suggested for autoimmunity issues. Hearing you two discuss this topic is so appreciated. Thank you 🙏🏼
Castor oil pack?
Thanks so much for sharing !!
@@neer0024 yeah what is that??
@mariamaria2751 You can do a castor oil pack with cut up old flannel pajamas from a thrift store or a piece of flannel. You can use a hot water bottle or heating pad like shown in the video. But instead of on your stomach, you would put on the front of your neck over your thyroid.

Love these guys!!! They give me hope! If we can find the triggers, eliminate them, we can reduce the antibodies. It makes sense. Don't let anyone tell you that you have to live this way. There IS hope.
Enjoyed this interview!!
excellent info!!!
Excellent! Thank you for cover so much and shedding light on the major source being our toxic environment.
Highly informative -thank you.
Great interview. I hope more medical professionals start catching on to how to treat thyroid issues effectively because it's long overdue. I always direct people to this channel for thyroid help because let's face it, most medical professionals are in the dark with thyroid issues, especially in the uk. I took myself off thyroxine gradually against medical advice by taking spirulina daily, cleaning up my diet and lowering stress. It's still sluggish and slips back to about tsh 2.3 sometimes when stressed and over eating, but for the most part it's usually around 2 nowadays. I was at tsh 1.4 when I felt good so I'm trying again and now taking liposomal NMN with other supplements and losing weight to lower inflammation. My bloods showed high crp and prolactin but my doctor won't do t3 testing and said it's not available on nhs so it's all guesswork atm as they think 2.3 is healthy due to the guidelines 🤦. Ashwaganda did wonders for my stress levels too. I definitely agree that the thyroid can be healed. I know low carb isn't for everyone but it helped me to drop some weight and I noticed my hair started to thicken up too. I was growing that fuzzy baby type hair between normal hair strand and feeling bumps around my hairline where the follicles were emerging, so I think for me the cause has been stress and weight gain prior to the thyroid issue. I also got rid of gluten strictly and did a bit of intermittent fasting which improved my blood tests results massively. I'm aiming for 1.9 as my new target and I'll go from there. Onwards and upwards!
I eliminated meat and dairy and gluten and oils and now I eat only fresh fruits and veggies and nuts and seeds and berries and melons and lentils.
This is an old post, but if you see this post, can you please tell me what daily dose of Ashwaganda you took/ take ?
gluten free should be what all DR should be encouraging thyroid patients! And I totally think the thyroid and adrenals are related and ashwaganda helps!
Cab you share why you take each one and how much pls
What's liposomal ?
I got hoshimotos following my second v. It started with extreme joint pain and went downhill from there. I also have Long Covid
This has been extremely informative, thank you! 😊👌
Listening to both of you has been so instructive! I’m blessed to have a functional medicine doctor who treats me as an individual, but I appreciate having a deeper understanding of my issues. Thank you!
Wow what a combo talk. Thank you 🙏🏽
Excellent information. Thank you!
Lovely discussion bless both
Wonderful interview Dr Child’s and Dr Gupta
Great questions Dr Child’s!
Dear doctor, ur questions are 👌, and well presented 🙏👏👏
Thank you Dr Gupta
Awesome episode. Great information presented clearly and extremely informative. Thank you. I truly enjoyed listening.
More like this please ❤
THANK YOU TO BOTH FOR CARING FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE
Best podcast ever
Wonderful discussion👌🏻👌🏻. Thank you Dr Childs and Dr Gupta for sharing your knowledge. 👌🏻👌🏻
Thanks!
That was an AMAZING video! 😭 Definitely gave me hope, thank you both!!!
Excellent knowleadgable and articulate interviewer
You asked such good questions! It was a pleasure to listen to this. The world needs to study mold and the effects on our bodies better, as i believe this is a great part of autoimmune diseases. Doctors like you give us hope, dr. Childs.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You speak sooo fast
Zeolite clinop. (human grade) helped clear my mold out. On my third regimen now! Amazing difference in how I feel!
@marerhart314 can you share what brand and how much
@@marerhart314how to use it plz?
Very helpful thank you
Great sharing and thank you for your dedication for us . God bless you all
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!
Great video
I'm glad you brought up ashwaganda and addressed it. I am not sure if it has been causing me anxiety at night
Thank you 🙏
This was super informative ♥️
Glad you found it helpful!
enjoyed it very much. I do wish a discussion about gluten free grains was part of this talk. Thank you
Thank you both Doctors
Very informative
May God bless you both 🙏
Love these guys!!! They give me hope! >%
Nice video. I like it
I would love to hear more about what food to eat that is good. And also, the names of the companies where one can test ( the home kits mentioned- where do we order these) the toxins(heavy metals etc.). Excellent interview, thank you
Good afternoon, Thank You for this Advice.
Welcome!
Thank for the informative talk
Happy to do it!
it's an amazing video. thank you.
Glad you found it helpful!
Great content and thank you so much both doctors.I appreciated
Can we eat veggies in Hashimotos? Bcz i m practicing a carnivore diet..
Thank you both very informative, My 16 year old daughter just got diagnosed with this and I was lost to how do I help her, this video has been so helpful ❤thank you
Best guest ever! Thanks for having Dr. Gupta on the show. Two of the best minds on the subject.
Thank you Dr Childs and Dr Gupta. I appreciate you taking the time for this interview. It was very informative. I would love to know how to drive candida out of the body in another video one day. Thanks again!
Thanks for the suggestion.
Oregano oil in my experience is better than fluconazole for fungal infections.
Great interview, thank you. Just got the book. Looking forward to reversing my hashimoto's after my doctors telling me it was impossible.
Functional medicine is the way to go!
Curious if you were able to reverse your Hashimotos?!
Mulțumim!
This discussion is an incredible resource of information. I appear to have Hashimoto's and I have already found a link to methane producing archaea. Now I know what else to tackle. Going to go full bore on detox first, had already cut out inflammatory foods. Feel more positive now.
I would love more content addressing people who've had thyroidectomies.
Yes, we are a neglected group.
Thanks 😊
Excellent video. Very informative, worth watching.
Wow!! Thank you SO much for this great info!! My Endo always gives me the run around and has no idea to help me other than reading my thyroid numbers. Getting in touch with a integrative doc today!! Thanks for all you do to educated about this topic:)
Welcome!
How did the functional doctor work for you ?
How's it go'n now???
these too are Great to together !
This was very informative for me. I have done every restrictive diet which aggregated my Hashimoto's. Treating the SIBO issues I have with 14 days of antibiotics has helped me a lot.
Glad to hear that!
These restrictive diets are making my lipedema worse too
Ashwaganda is a nightshade - after a few days I had a severe allergic reaction to it, dry mouth and trouble breathing…it’s not compatible with blood type A.
Wow good to know anyone else are you read a book
Hello Dr. Gupta,
Is buttermilk from the yoghurt made from an all organic process ok?
I have been taking LDN for my Hashimotos 4 mg It’s really was helping my Hashimoto go in to remission, but then, since I have different converting T4 to T3 I have not be able to find my sweet spot. I was on 75 mg levo, and all of the sudden it was 75 was too much and it brought my TSH to 0.24 I had this crazy desire to eat sweets because my TSH was so low, eating the sweets caused my Hashimoto flare up. Sweets is inflammation? I now get blood work every two weeks and taking 50 mg of Synthroid and 10 mg of Liothyronine. I now know my TSH can’t go below one. I was so hyperthyroid that the hair on the top of my head just broke off! Very distressing, my hair is still not growing and I still feel the Hashimoto flare as all my joints hurt.
Thank you so much for a super informative program.
I have been eating 100% whole plant food SOS-free since April 2017. I have not eaten any kind of seaweed and since my diet as I said is SOS-free also no iodized salt.
Could this have triggered a low metabolism?
Thanks doctors!
Could someone tell me the name of the “sauna” wich is better than the regular sauna?
This was amazing! It supported and validated all my research and self managed journey over the last few years after reading Isabella Wentz book and watching Dr Child’s and Dr Rutherford ❤️ The beauty of this video also is when I start to explain Hashimotos to family , friends or random people I meet who say they have Hashimotos, they glaze over after 2 minutes of a deep dive into this very complex subject . Now I’ll just point them in the direction of this excellent video 😁😁 Thankyou for all your time and good work !
be less useful, i dare you
Were you able to reverse yours? I'm about to be put on medication and I'm very scared
@@Raquel_98 Yes my antibodies went back to zero and 5 years on I’m still not on medication. I do also take zinc and selenium and am gluten free. Read Isabella Wentz book !
Yep... A confused overwhelmed mind Turns off unable to process
Sooo this ABSOLUTELY is the Best Solution for anyone need'n to know! ✅
Leaky gut is the major reason to trigger Hashimotos.
You might be right. Or it may be a cause & stress a trigger. That's how it feels for me. Long term stomach issues.
Mercury from my mouth went to my Thyroid and gave me Hashimoto's and 4 and a half years of fibromyalgia which was acually mercury poisoning
@@janetblanchard7 I have one filling I suppose I should get removed but I’m having trouble finding the right kind of dentist. How did you find one?
@@pjbgcb54
I had been praying and asking God to show me what caused 4 and a half years of severe fibromyalgia. Then through a series of circumstances He led me to buy and read the book called Mercury Free from the local dentist here in Orlando Florida who wrote the book. In it he talked about how in dental school he discovered that amalgum "silver" fillings are really 50 to 70 percent mercury and had to keep quiet in order to get his lisence. He also talked the diseases mercury causes and success stories of patients getting better after he removed the mercury. Since he was local I went to him to get them changed out for white composite resin. He took precautions that need to be taken while removing the mercury. He was in the listed yellow pages and his book as well. You can look for a holistic dentist. Any dentist will change them out but you need to ask them what precautions they take while removing the mercury. I very highly recommend you getting it changed out for sure. Also do not use those light bulbs in the shape of curly. They have mercury in them. When any mercury gets spilled in an office etc even clean up companies refuse to come and clean it up and I don't blame them. Mercury is that bad. Always use incandescent regular light bulbs. I hope this helps you. Don't give up. Just keep calling dentists asking them about their precautions. You only have one tooth you said that has mercury so they can do it on one visit. Mine were done in 4 different quadrants. I don't think you will have a problem finding a dentist to do it plus you need to let them know the white composite resin you want needs to be BPA free. If they are holistic they will know that but it can't hurt to ask
How to fix any ideas ? Is it parasites then or
Can we get links for the company that do the urine test for toxicity please
Yep exactly that’s what happened to me LDN help me to modulate my eating habits so I really was not having any desire to eat sweets. Until my TSH went so low sweets were a constant craving. My body is still recovering. It’s very difficult when you have conversion issues
What is LDN, how did help?
Where do you get LDN?

LDN RESEARCH TRUST..
Dr. Childs, thank you for what you do, and thank you for your willingness to keep adding to your knowledge.
Please don't get discouraged. If it wasn't for ppl like you, who are willing to think oitside the conventional box, and continually undertake research, where would we be? just battling with indifferent, incompetent, and resistant GPs.
May the Lord bless and keep you and your family. Thank you.
Mostly untrained, so results are dismal.... Get a thyroid Specialist Like Gupta, an ND Dr ... fix your diet to Support your body's attempts to heal! And it often will!!!! 🫡
Yes! candida was a sign of tongue stinging. t3 came back low. Cut sugars for inflammation and helps. It was complicated to get dr. to even test me! Keto was a good start then adjust it over time.
How much thyroid do you take?
My thyroid stopped working in 1983 . I knew it was low thyroid because my identical twin sister was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s. It was not until 2005 that a doctor would listen to me. He did an anti-thyroid and I was at 900. He freaked out. I told him I was living with it for all those years so relax. He put me on different thyroid medication’s, which I turned out to be anaphylactic to. The only thing that’s worked for me as Armour Thyroid 90mg five days a week. i’d like to find out how to find a functional medicine doctor because the information in my body is tremendous. I also have Ehler Danlos three, which is causing me to have 22 surgeries. I have Cellier overgrowth that causes adhesions, and they have strangled my gallbladder, affected my uterus, causing me to have a radical hysterectomy, and I’ve had surgeries to remove the adhesions around my bowel. I try everything, but the doctors just kind of don’t do anything for me. Now I struggle with type two diabetes, and I have added berberine to my regiment in the last three weeks. I have to take gabapentin for fibromyalgia and I’m going to admit that the depression is pretty bad and I can’t take medication for it. I don’t want to take medication for it. Thank you for reading this.
Great interview! I'm gluten free and vegan for the animals. My anti bodies are dropping finally. My iron levels improved drastically. Not sure where this will go but I'm hoping for the best.
What do u take for iron?
@@opsgreg8392 I was focusing on eating raw and cooked green vegetables more then ever. Big salads with steamed vegetables, little bit of lemon juice, olive oil and some salt was on my plate every day. It could be that inflammation started to drop and iron was better absorbed. I'm taking what was recommended for autoimune disorder Selenium, Zinc and vitamin D3/K2. If you for some reason don't get iron from meat and vegetables/legumes there is liquid iron as best option but that has to be something short term to use. When you have thyroid issues you also have gut issues and then you can't absorb properly. I'll be having some blood tests again soon, I feel so much better! Good luck!
@@ana-mariaalrasul9231 wow! Ok im going to try this out as well, very mucj appreciate the reply!! Thank you so much for sharimg, God bless you! Hope your levels come back perfect💛✌️
@@opsgreg8392 Thanks, I hope that my next blood test and hormone levels will be even better. Good luck! P.s.I take B12 supplement because I'm vegan which also is connected to iron levels, if you are not vegan still go and test for that and vitamin D just in case.
@Ana-Maria Alrasul hiiii just curious on an update. I too eat mostly plant based. I have never consumed meat (texture thing and huge animal lover) but occasionally will add greek yogurt to my weekly snacks for added protein. I was diagnosed with hashimoto's in 2018. My levels are now regulated with medication.
But I have gained 20lbs that I can not get rid of despite my mostly healthy diet and exercise. Wondering if I were to implement a bit of your routine if it might help.
I would have liked to hear Dr Gupta speak more!
He has a complete videos and books available on his site... Plus his live 'thyroid Thurs's' you Can catch for More every week still I think 🤔
So you can get a ton more wonderful info & Dr Gupta! 🫡
What test should we do to see which problem tiggers our hashimoto
I wish i knew about all this 10 yrz ago when
It all started 😢
Yep!!! If only the videos info were available then.... Tons more healed people... Who in turn would share it.... So be Sure to Share, never know who really needs it and but for you, might Not get it Sooner, how much stress and poor health you would be heal'n! 🫡
The underlying root cause to your thyroid diagnosis is the Epstein-Barr virus.
Same. The more I'm learning the more I think mine started 20 years ago because of a major trauma in my life. Subsequent issues just made things worse like developing septicemia but also 6 pregnancies. I can see whst started it, but also what made it worse.
Love Dr. Gupta! His information has helped me tremendously! I am still on thyroid medication but with his information I was able to reduce my thyroid replacement dose in half! And I'm feeling a lot better.
I have histamine intolerance and nightshades definitely trigger my hashimoto's and triggers inflammation. I feel awful if I have tomatoes. I can tolerate small amounts of cooked tomatoes but no white potatoes, no eggplant, no peppers. I think it's highly individual and patients have to work with their doctor to do some trial and error to see what calms the inflammation for them. I saw continued improvement by working on each the things Dr Gupta talked about....toxins, food sensitivities, infections etc.
I started out with AIP and it was so helpful. The most restrictive phase is only meant for the first 30 days. I can eat everything except gluten, dairy, and nightshades but I can tolerate nuts and seeds just fine. I can also have legumes I just can't go overboard on them.
Did you ever have extreme fatigue? I’m feeling hopeless about that getting better. Gf and dairy free four weeks today
Yes, gluten free, dairy free, and nightshade free has helped me tremendously! Doctors should at least mention the possibility when talking to their patients about thyroid issues!! Took at least 6 months before I noticed full better, so be patient
Isn't that all caused by a bad gut low acidity and stress ??
Osnt beans full of protein?
@@joanneclark8256 Yes, but Not 'Complete' protein. If you add rice then you will have all 9 essential proteins! Otherwise the protein will not be able to be absorbed or processed properly.😉
Thank you both 🙏🏻
Are there any studies on connection of food sensitivities that create inflammation and hashimotos?
I need to get off my thyroid meds
@@teresaschultz4129 me too. Do you know it cause osteoporosis.
@@teresaschultz4129 just eat fresh organic fruits and veggies and nuts and seeds and berries and melons and lentils and read Dr Michael Greger's book How Not to Die and eliminate meat and dairy and gluten and oils and heal yourself.
Sugar
Did you find that answer, and can you share! 🤓
I was dx with hypothyroidism in 2008. I’ve been on Synthroid ever since. I am currently in the middle of being dx with Lupus, and they found that I have Hashimoto’s because my TPO came back at 253.6. I am so confused and so frustrated. I have never been tested or spoken to about Hashimotos.
I am sure have an family predisposition, because my mother and sister have Hashimotos. I (male) used "Betaisadona povidone iodine"- ointment excessively for my bad skin as teenager. I suppose I may have triggered my thyroid with this usage. But I recognized and diagnosed my Hashimotos years later in the age of 35. At this point I already had mild syndroms and an onion intolerance.
Question for Dr. Childs and Dr. Gupta. I have HASHIMOTOS and I'm currently on Liothyronine (15MCG twice daily)and LDN(4.5MG) I do a full therapeutic blood donation every 55 day. Does the blood donation affect my HASHIMOTOS in a negative way? Notably I donate blood to help lower my blood pressure and because I am on TRT 20mg daily for 20 years.
BTW I am a 56 year old male.
Thank you and great discussion!
Dr Gupta speak very nice both are nice ❤
Can anyone provide a summary of this video?
I'm concerned about arsenic. I eat way too many rice products since going gluten free.
Other types of thyroiditis? If no antibodies. What about Wilsons temperature syndrome, WT3 with ok labs but cold temps.
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 20 years ago and autoimmune treatment was never addressed. I’m bummed because my thyroid gland is almost gone.
I heard to avoid cheeses but the real Parmigiano Reggiano from Italy is a cheese that work against the biofilms and the aterom placs. Isn't this correct? Avoid all cheeses or this one is an exception? And the Old Gouda from Netherland?
I had Type Diabetes, Addison Disease, Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome, prior to Hashimotos.
Hi Dr. Child’s, thank you for all of your informative Podcasts. I took thyroid gold for Hashimoto thyroiditis for years before. I no longer need thyroid replacement thankfully. T3, t4 are normal now. For my TSH remains play elevated. In teens. Any idea what can cost us?
I'm a little confused in regards to Iodine. Some say to stay away from it when having Hashimoto (which is something that I've done, substituting the salt with one without) and I hear that you are both not opposed to it, but encourage the consumption via sea foods. Am I doing wrong in not consuming iodized salt? I have Hashimoto, normal thyroid labs, not taking medication, but trying to address some of the triggers. thank you for the videos that you produce.
You need some iodine in your diet.
Most people have it too much.
@@ana-mariaalrasul9231thoughts do you do trace minerals or celtic salt
I appreciate Dr. Gupta’s general knowledge and comprehensive understanding of the subject. The average person may get lost in the volume of information and all the interconnections. For simplicity I would suggest that the patient take a more manageable approach by starting with addressing the foundational issue of restoring the gut health and by gently restoring the micro biome.

Agreed! 💯
Currenty readung and enjoying your book. Minus the part about food elimination.. no gluten ir diary :( . Especially dairy . How can u check for these sensitivites? Im in the uk. Also what are your thoughts n probitic supplements a d red light therapy to help our mitochondria??
Best video I ever seen and what I am looking for my daughter for long time Canshe take iodide salt Also she take soya products though she is under control with the medication? Please answer me. Lots of thanks for both for this video
IODIDE is not the same as Iodine. Please make sure you understand fully the difference. People shouldn't just be taking Potassium Iodide as a supplement. Generally, if you have Hashimoto's you shouldn't be consuming large amounts of soy or Iodine. It sounds like you might need to take your daughter to a specialist and not try to figure it out online (not trying to be rude).
Exactly doing the right thing, following the “protocol,” but still feeling miserable. What a horrible feeling.
The person suggested an aip diet. It may sound impossible but my teen daughter has been doing it forever 3 months. There are lots of recipes out there on line. Sweet potatoes fries are her go to. She cuts them thinly and fries then in olive oil.
It's nutritional
Dr Child’s you are amazing! I had a thyroidectomy 30 years ago at Mayo Clinic to remove a benign multi nodular goiter the size of an orange that was deviating my trachea. I was 120 pounds 30 years old and healthy. I do not know if I should have gotten my thyroid removed for a benign goiter for living without a thyroid is hard. They left my 4 parathyroid glands. I am now 62 and 151 pounds. I was 170 pounds. Losing weight is so hard. No-one ever tested my antibodies until 10 days ago. They were at 1219.9. I have been on LDN for 9 days and I am like a new person. How much LDN can I take? I had so much Inflammation in my joints It was hard to walk. They told me I needed a double knee replacement. Over the last 9 days with LDN I have had a REMARKABLE improvement in joint pain reduction. If
I have no thyroid and high antibodies what else can I do to lower them?
Please concentrate to heal your gut. It is a leaky gut issue
I was told that I have lymphedema from a car accident that I was in due to how my skin grafts healed but almost no standard doctors address scar tissue and biofilm as a cause for diseases. Maybe that's what caused my Hashimoto's & adrenal problems but no standard doctor ever addressed the lymphatics.
