Save My Thyroid: Healing Tips for Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's

Healing your thyroid when it comes to conditions like Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis starts with finding and removing the autoimmune thyroid triggers that are impacting you.According to the triad of autoimmunity, three components are necessary for autoimmunity to develop: genetic predisposition, environmental triggers, and a leaky gut. For most people, a combination of these components and multiple triggers are at play.Today I’m exploring the four main categories of triggers as well as testing that you may want to consider. I discuss how food, stress, infections, and environmental toxins can impact the thyroid, when I recommend testing, why testing is not always worth the cost, my experience with identifying my triggers when I dealt with Graves’ disease, and more.

“In general, I see more sicker kids and a lot more autoimmunity than I saw early on.” - Dr. Roy SteinbockThyroid conditions in children are often missed since getting a diagnosis is much less straightforward than for adults. Unlike adults, where screening follows a much more standard pattern, children don’t typically undergo annual testing, especially not for thyroid hormone levels.They also often have symptoms long before their labs start to show abnormal results, and the symptoms they’re experiencing can easily be dismissed as side effects of growth and development.Today, I’m excited to be joined by pediatrician Dr. Roy Steinbock, who joins us to share insights into thyroid conditions in children. Dr. Roy is a Board-Certified Pediatrician with an integrative and patient-centered approach. With over 20 years in primary care, he built a solid foundation assisting patients and families with diverse medical conditions. He believes that investigating the root cause, rather than only addressing symptoms, is the best route to achieving and maintaining optimal health and well-being.In this conversation, Dr. Roy and I discuss how thyroid conditions present in children, the importance of early diagnosis and comprehensive testing, the challenges of diagnosing thyroid issues in children, the role of nutrition and lifestyle, why treatment approaches must differ for adults and children, the need for a holistic approach to pediatric thyroid health, and more.

According to the Triad of Autoimmunity, three components are necessary for autoimmunity to develop: a genetic predisposition, environmental triggers, and a leaky gut. This is why grains such as oats and rice are excluded from an autoimmune paleo and a standard paleo diet.While you don't need to eat grains to get the nutrients that you need, they can be quite tasty. Unfortunately, grains have compounds that can be harsh on the gut, including phytates and lectins, which can make it difficult to heal a leaky gut or can contribute to its development. Today, I’m discussing how grains affect the body and my recommendations for grain consumption while you are on your thyroid healing journey.In this episode, you’ll learn:- How grains can negatively affect gut health- The Triad of Autoimmunity- My approach to grain consumption while restoring my health with Grave’s disease- Why I don’t recommend eating grains while you are on your thyroid healing journey- My recommendations for choosing gluten-free grainsAs always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!To learn more, visit the show notes at https://savemythyroid.com/podcast/can-i-eat-oats-rice-and-other-grains/.To take the Save My Thyroid Quiz visit www.savemythyroid.com/quiz Free resources for your thyroid health Get your FREE Thyroid and Immune Health Restoration Action Points Checklist at SaveMyThyroidChecklist.com High-Quality Nutritional Supplements For Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto’ sHave you checked out my new ThyroSave supplement line?

“If you want to change your health radically, you have to radicalize what you’re doing on a day-to-day basis.” - Juanique Grover70 to 80% of your immune health is your microbiome, and our modern lifestyle does not support gut health very well.In infancy, most American babies' first foods typically consist of some types of cereal or wheat products that inadvertently expose them to herbicides, pesticides, and more. It’s also quite common for babies and young children to be given antibiotics or to be exposed to antibiotics in the womb. When we look at the combination of eating food that destroys the microbiome and being overexposed to antibiotics that destroy the microbiome from a very young age, most of us start with a rocky foundation for our immune health.Today, I’m excited to talk to Juanique Grover about gut health, the connection to thyroid health, and what a holistic approach to gut health looks like. As the owner and founder of the esteemed Provo Health Clinic, Juanique has dedicated her life to revolutionizing the way people perceive and achieve holistic wellness. Fueled by her personal experiences with Graves’ disease and long COVID, and SIRS, Juanique pioneered the groundbreaking Gutsy Academy, a beacon of knowledge empowering individuals to become self-healing advocates through meticulously curated programs and insights. She has equipped countless people with the tools and mindsets to reclaim their health and vitality. Her mission is simple yet profound: to guide individuals toward becoming the healthiest, most vibrant versions of themselves.In this conversation, Juanique and I discuss the crucial link between gut health and thyroid conditions, how she overcame Graves' disease, the importance of a healthy gut microbiome for recovering from autoimmune conditions, the role of fiber in immune health, the impact of stress on digestion, a holistic approach to healing, and more.

Whether you are dealing with Graves’ disease or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, there is an autoimmune component that must be addressed to reverse these conditions.When we consider that approximately 70-80% of immune system cells are located in the gut, it becomes clear that a healthy gut is necessary for healing most autoimmune conditions.

“Thyroid disorders are very prevalent, especially in women.” - Dr. Lorraine MaitaWhat you eat and drink, how much you sleep, how much you exercise, the stress you're under, and the toxins you're exposed to all affect your thyroid and hormones. We often underestimate the impact of our lifestyle on our health, but especially for women, the level of toxin exposure through personal care products alone is staggering.With many of these chemicals being estrogenic, women can end up being estrogen-dominant without having high levels of estrogen itself. Then, once the symphony of hormones is off, you’re at risk for developing a thyroid condition and other issues such as infertility.Today, I’m excited to chat about hormones and autoimmunity with Lorraine Maita, MD, the Hormone Harmonizer and Detoxifier. Dr. Lorraine is a triple board-certified physician specializing in helping you have boundless energy, stable moods, a lean body, a sharp, clear mind, deep sleep, clear, glowing skin, and balanced hormones so you can feel like yourself again.In this conversation, Dr. Lorraine and I discuss the complex relationship between thyroid health and your sex hormones, the prevalence of thyroid disorders in women, the impact of estrogen on thyroid function, the importance of holistic approaches to hormone replacement therapy, how lifestyle factors influence overall health, and more.
