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

There are many different EMFs, from visible light to the microwave radiation emitted by your cell phone. While many of our natural exposures, like sunlight, tend to be compatible with—and often good for—our biology, we’ve created many new EMF sources in the form of cell phones, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and smart meters whose effects are unknown. The problem potentially arises if these different sources interact with our bodies, creating electromagnetic biointerference.Whether you’re actively seeking to minimize your EMF exposure or skeptical about its impact, research shows a potential link between EMFs and adverse health outcomes. As with many environmental toxins, we can’t completely eliminate our EMF exposure, but there’s a lot we can do to reduce it. To explore this topic in detail, I’m joined by The EMF Guy, Nicolas Pineault. Nick is the #1 bestselling author of The Non-Tinfoil Guide to EMFs and an advocate for safe technologies. Through his unconventional approach blending humor, science and common sense, he’s becoming a leading voice on the topic of electromagnetic pollution and how it affects our health.In this conversation, we discuss sources of electromagnetic pollution, the effect of EMFs on sleep, fertility, and thyroid conditions, the need for reducing our exposure, whether you should be using shielding, the potential link between EMFs and thyroid cancer, the importance of proactive measures in the home, and more.

There’s no single diet that everyone with hyperthyroidism should follow.

“Health is accumulative. While you might reduce your symptoms by changing your diet, by addressing your whole body, you’ll optimize your health.” - Bronte MayThyroid imbalances are typically caused by a combination of different components over time. As a result, reversing them means going deeper into gut health, diet, environmental toxins, stress, mindset, and more. The good news is you don’t have to tackle everything at once - it’s too overwhelming. Taking it step by step and working with a guide who understands your needs can make all the difference.Today, I’m joined by naturopath Bronte May to discuss common oversights in thyroid healing. Bronte emphasizes the importance of addressing physical changes first, then incorporating emotional healing and the individualized approach to gut testing based on symptoms.In this conversation, Bronte and I talk about how she overcame thyroid autoimmunity, the complexities of thyroid healing, the need for a holistic approach, the importance of self-advocacy, the controversial role of iodine, and more.

Comprehensive thyroid testing, which goes beyond the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, is crucial to your thyroid healing journey. Understanding what’s happening with other markers like T3 and T4 is very important, not to mention the thyroid antibodies.When doing a thyroid panel, you’re given the option for free and total hormone levels. Most thyroid hormone in the body is bound to a protein, leaving only a small fraction - free thyroid hormones - circulating in the bloodstream. As a result, getting the free hormone levels gives us an idea of how much thyroid hormone is in the active forms that the body can use.Today, I’m sharing what you need to know about the differences between free and total thyroid hormone levels and the situations where I recommend testing one over the other.In this episode, you’ll learn about:- Which markers should be tested in a full thyroid panel- The difference between free and total thyroid hormone markers- Why I recommend testing free thyroid hormones- The case for testing total and free hormones in cases of hypothyroidismAs 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/testing-the-total-vs-free-thyroid-hormones/.

Dr. Jill Carnahan’s story is nothing short of inspiring. From early exposures to toxins from pesticides to extended antibiotic use and a poorly planned vegetarian diet, Dr. Jill found herself struggling with her health in her 20s. At 25, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and then later with Crohn’s disease.Despite having all three components of the triad of autoimmunity from a young age - genetic predisposition, environmental toxin exposure, and intestinal permeability - Dr. Jill was able to reverse her Crohn’s disease and the health challenges that plagued her earlier years. Her journey is a testament to resilience and the power of integrative medicine. Today, she joins me to talk about her experiences overcoming numerous complex health issues, which is what her excellent book, Unexpected, is all about. We discuss how her views on health and integrative medicine developed, the role of diet, environmental toxins, and gut health in autoimmune diseases, practical tips for reducing your toxic burden, what you need to know about mold exposure, what proactive health management looks like, and more.

Black cumin, also known as Nigella sativa or black seed, is a medicinal plant shown to be beneficial for those with hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. Unlike some other treatment options, black cumin doesn’t seem to affect thyroid hormone directly; instead, the benefits are derived from its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.Today, I’m sharing what the research shows about the benefits of black cumin, as well as what you need to know about dosage and other considerations for supplementation.In this episode, you’ll learn about:- The positive effects of black cumin on TSH and TPO antibodies due to its antioxidant properties- How black cumin can benefit those with autoimmune conditions- The many health benefits of black seed and its protective effects on the liver and other organs- Dosage considerations and toxicity- The need for individualized supplement protocolsAs 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-black-cumin-benefit-those-with-hyperthyroidism-and-hashimotos/.

“Optimize what you can control, and don’t worry about the rest.”There’s a lot of misinformation out there about thyroid conditions and different treatment options. From the basics of how thyroid hormone is produced to the more advanced insights about the thyroid-gut connection, it’s crucial to ensure that your source of information is reliable, experienced, and evidence-backed.Today’s guest, Dr. Angela Mazza, recognized this problem and decided to create a resource for people at different stages of their thyroid healing journey through her new book, Thyroid Talk. Dr. Angela is the founder of the Metabolic Center for Wellness in Oviedo, FL, where she spends most of her time caring for persons with autoimmune thyroid disease, thyroid nodules, and thyroid cancer. Metabolic Center for Wellness is the only center in Central Florida providing the thyroid-saving procedure, RFA, for thyroid nodules. Highly regarded for her individualized approach to patient care, Dr. Angela empowers each person to achieve their unique goals by providing education, lifestyle management, and support.In this conversation, Dr. Angela and I talk about her book, Thyroid Talk: An Integrative Guide to Optimal Thyroid Health, what to include in comprehensive thyroid testing, the effects of thyroid disruptors like cadmium and fluoride, and the impact of Epstein-Barr virus on thyroid health, the importance of patient empowerment, how environmental factors affect thyroid health, and more.

Radioactive iodine and radiofrequency ablation are two thyroid treatment options that are sometimes confused but are actually quite different. Where radioactive iodine involves the destruction of the cells of the thyroid gland, radiofrequency ablation involves shrinking thyroid nodules and, in some cases, can save the thyroid.Today, I’m sharing how each of these procedures works, why I never recommend radioactive iodine, the cases where each procedure tends to be used, and what you need to know before making a decision.In this episode, you’ll learn:- How radioactive iodine treatment works- Why I don’t recommend radioactive iodine- Benefits of radiofrequency ablation for thyroid nodules- The positive trend toward endocrinologists recommending radiofrequency ablation- Why it’s crucial to address the underlying cause of thyroid problems- Additional resources on radiofrequency ablationAs 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/whats-the-difference-between-radioactive-iodine-and-radiofrequency-ablation/.

The parathyroid glands may be small, but their impact on our health is monumental. These four tiny glands regulate blood calcium levels via parathyroid hormone (PTH), vital for the optimal functioning of our brain, muscles, nerves, and many bodily processes. Primary hyperparathyroidism is more common than most people realize and is often misdiagnosed. This occurs when the parathyroid glands secrete too much PTH, causing elevated blood calcium levels.While it can happen at any age, the risk increases as you get older, and it is most common in postmenopausal women. Unfortunately, because of that, it often flies under the radar, with the symptoms mistakenly being attributed to menopause.Today, I’m joined by Dr. Deva Boone, one of the most experienced parathyroid surgeons in the U.S. She was the Medical Director and Senior Surgeon at the Norman Parathyroid Center until 2020, when she left to open the Southwest Parathyroid Center in Phoenix, Arizona. In this conversation, Dr. Deva and I discuss how the parathyroid glands regulate calcium levels in your bloodstream, the role of calcium in the body, the prevalence of primary hyperparathyroidism, the importance of vitamin D in calcium metabolism, challenges of diagnosing parathyroid issues, the necessity of experienced surgeons for parathyroid surgery, and more.

Our skin is a window into our internal health.More than just a superficial concern, recent research has shown that eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is better classified as an autoimmune condition rather than an allergic reaction. The three pillars that are thought to contribute to its pathogenesis are skin barrier damage, immune response disorders, and skin microbiome imbalances. More than genetics alone, environmental factors significantly impact its development.Today, I’m exploring the potential link between eczema and thyroid autoimmunity. From the causes that contribute to the development of eczema to the factors that suggest a connection to autoimmune thyroid conditions like Graves' and Hashimoto's, it’s important to address underlying causes rather than just treating symptoms. In this episode, you’ll learn about:- The correlation between eczema and autoimmune conditions- Causes and theories on why eczema develops- The four categories of triggers- Role of the skin microbiome- Conventional treatment options for eczema- Natural treatment options for reversing eczema- Three main factors that contribute to the pathogenesis of eczema- Research studies on the relationship between eczema and autoimmune conditionsAs 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-there-a-relationship-between-eczema-and-thyroid-autoimmunity/.
