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

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/.

“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. Today, I’m discussing how to heal the gut and why it’s essential for optimizing your thyroid and immune health.In this episode, you’ll learn about:- The Triad of Autoimmunity - The Five R Protocol for healing your gut- Why the often overlooked “Remove” step is crucial- Methods for testing your gut health- How to know if your gut health is improvingAs 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/is-healing-the-gut-necessary-to-reverse-graves-disease/.

“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.

A goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland commonly caused by issues such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, insulin resistance, problems with estrogen metabolism, and iodine deficiency.While it is possible to shrink a goiter, there are a number of factors to consider.

According to a recent study, about 33% of women over 18 and more than 10% of men over 40 in Europe and the United States dye their hair. Because hair dye is so commonly used, many of my patients have questioned its impact on their health.Even with the increasing availability of plant-based hair dyes and the wide range of dyes - whether permanent, semi-permanent, or temporary - there are some known risks and uncertainties associated with using hair dye.Today, I’m sharing the latest research on the effect of hair dye on thyroid health and overall well-being.In this episode, you’ll learn:- Types of hair dye and prevalence of use- Key ingredients in hair dye and the mechanisms of toxicity associated with them- Natural hair dyes and their comparative safety- What research shows about hair dye and autoimmunity- Hair dye as a contributing factor in hair loss- The potential impact of hair dye on thyroid health- Increased risk of health complications for hairdressers and barbers working with hair dye- The link between hair dye use and breast cancer risk- How you can reduce the risk of health issues due to hair dyesAs 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-hair-dyes-have-a-negative-effect-on-thyroid-health/.

“It's amazing when we get back to the basics, how well our body takes over and knows what to do to heal.” - Heather GrayWhen it comes to Lyme disease, many people are laser-focused on treatment instead of optimizing the whole person. But if you don't address the foundations, heal the gut, reduce your toxic load, do things to manage stress, and improve your adrenal health, these therapies aren't going to be nearly as effective as they could be.Today’s guest, Heather Gray, has lived with Lyme for 20+ years. After taking care of the basics, cleaning up her lifestyle and environment, and detoxing, she found she didn’t have to work so hard to treat it anymore. Heather is a Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist and Bioenergetic Practitioner who specializes in supporting clients with chronic and complex illnesses such as Lyme disease, mold toxicity, and autoimmune diseases.In this conversation, Heather and I discuss the need for a holistic approach to health, how gut health and emotional trauma influence Lyme disease, the challenges of getting a proper diagnosis, the significance of foundational health practices, the potential benefits of bioenergetics and frequency therapy, and more.

While yeast is a normal part of your gut flora, issues can arise when its population gets too high. I commonly see Candida overgrowth in my patients with Graves’ disease and Hashimoto’s, with the most well-known species of yeast in the gut being Candida albicans.Research shows that Candida can contribute to an increase in intestinal permeability, also known as leaky gut, which is one part of the triad of autoimmunity. Today, I’m exploring whether Candida can trigger thyroid autoimmunity and how to test for and manage Candida overgrowth.In this episode, you’ll learn:- How Candida overgrowth may contribute to the development of autoimmune thyroid conditions- Pros and cons of Candida overgrowth testing methods- Signs and symptoms of Candida overgrowth- Challenges with testing for small intestinal fungal overgrowth (SIFO)- Dietary recommendations for managing Candida overgrowth- Natural treatment options and medications for Candida overgrowthAs 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-candida-trigger-thyroid-autoimmunity/.

“Focus on what you need to add into the diet rather than what you need to take out.” - Louise DigbyMany people focus on diet and exercise when they want to lose weight. However, especially when it comes to stubborn weight, focusing on our health and addressing underlying imbalances gets way better results than eating less and exercising more.Instead of the typical diet approach of cutting out “bad” foods, a more helpful way of thinking is to focus on what your body needs to thrive and function properly. Too often, we cut out foods and food groups that have a place in a healthy diet and sabotage our progress. When you’re meeting your nutrient requirements, your body is better able to repair, stay in balance, and maintain a healthy weight.Today, I’m very excited to chat with Louise Digby about the various factors that can affect a weight loss journey. Louise is a registered nutritional therapist, women’s weight loss expert, and founder of The Nourish Method to Lasting Fat Loss. Her clients come to her after struggling to lose weight despite eating well and working hard to burn the fat. Louise transforms her clients' health and well-being by identifying and addressing each individual’s unique needs and imbalances to lose weight, optimize their health, and rediscover their sparkle without restrictive dieting or the need for superhuman willpower.In this conversation, Louise and I discuss the challenges women in perimenopause and menopause face in losing weight, how thyroid issues impact weight management, why she focuses on addressing underlying health imbalances, the need for adequate protein, fat and carbohydrates in every meal, how to manage sugar cravings, why we need to heal the gut, whether intermittent fasting works, practical steps for starting your weight loss journey, and more.
