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

“Getting your mental game corrected is just as important as any medication.” - Dr. Christine SmithOur thoughts, emotions, and energy can significantly influence our body's response to injuries. Unfortunately, it’s easy to neglect our biochemical and mental injuries while focusing on the often more apparent physical injury. The thyroid, especially, is a very sensitive organ, and when we experience thyroid issues, it’s a signal to look deeper at what is triggering these symptoms. A holistic approach addressing all three aspects is crucial in healing and preventing disease. Reducing environmental toxins, addressing mental and emotional health, and addressing lifestyle factors like diet creates a biochemical shift that puts the body in an optimized state for healing.Today, I’m joined by Dr. Christine Smith to explore the biochemistry of injury and how this relates to thyroid health. We discuss the interconnectedness of physical, biochemical, and mental injuries, the necessity of a holistic recovery strategy, the power of tuning the nervous system, the significance of dietary and lifestyle changes, the transformative potential of mind-body medicine, and more.

"Most chronic health conditions will have a heavy metal or a chemical as an underlying root cause." - Dr. Wendy MyersEnvironmental toxins, especially heavy metals, are a pervasive issue affecting everyone. These toxins interfere with critical bodily functions, from enzyme activity to amino acid absorption and the energy production necessary for iodine uptake. The result? A domino effect that can lead to significant disruptions in thyroid hormone production and conversion.Considering the many negative consequences of this toxic burden and the fact that none of us can avoid them altogether, it’s crucial to incorporate detox strategies to help our bodies clear as much of the toxic load as possible.Today, I’m joined by Dr. Wendy Myers, a Naturopathic doctor and founder of Myersdetox.com, to explore the impact of environmental toxins, especially heavy metals like mercury, on thyroid health. Dr, Wendy is an anti-aging, heavy metal detox, and bioenergetics expert and the #1 bestselling author of Limitless Energy: How to Detox Toxic Metals to End Exhaustion and Chronic Fatigue. Wendy hosts a top 100-rated podcast, the Myers Detox Podcast, about protecting your health with detoxification. In this conversation, Dr. Wendy and I discuss her journey with thyroid issues and how detoxification strategies - like ionic foot baths and infrared saunas - can aid in removing toxins, the importance of mineral balance, how your diet can support detoxification, and more.

“Your body has an innate ability to heal.” - Dr. Tabatha BarberFor many people living a typical Western lifestyle, high levels of stress have become a chronic issue. But while your mind might feel like you’re handling that overactive life, your physiology can’t. Your body responds with a chemical reaction whenever you’re in a stressful, sympathetic state.We must take responsibility for our daily activities since they directly impact our health. That means being more mindful of how we live and recognizing that we have way more control over our health than we might think.Today, I’m joined by Dr. Tabatha Barber to talk about how fasting and faith can help shift your body into a parasympathetic state. Dr. Barber believes that when you’re eating around the clock, your body doesn’t get the chance to heal as much as it could, and by fasting, you can divert those resources to where they need to go.In this conversation, Dr. Barber and I discuss her insights on how gut inflammation can affect conditions like endometriosis, the role of gut bacteria in estrogen metabolism, the impact of fasting on adrenal function, why fasting can be beneficial for thyroid and autoimmune conditions, why she believes in integrating spirituality and mindfulness in health and wellness, and more.
