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

“You can’t have a symptom or a diagnosis, whether it's chronic or autoimmune, without having an imbalance in one, two, or three of these core systems.” - Stephanie GrosvenorWhen we’re working towards optimal health, there are three core systems we need to focus on: the detoxification system, gut and digestive system, and immune system. While they are three different systems, they’re very closely linked - when one is affected, there are knock-on effects on the other two.The good news is that once we start to heal one of these systems, you’ll also see improvements in the other two.Today, I’m very excited to be joined by Stephanie Grosvenor, a holistic nutritionist and functional medicine Health Coach specializing in simplifying health for you so that you not only live a life that improves the way you look, live, feel, and age but one that you are excited to wake up to and live, every day.In this conversation, Stephanie and I discuss her health journey, the three core body systems that can help reverse thyroid autoimmunity, why you need realistic expectations in the healing process, how you can support and rebalance these systems, the role of stress management, sleep, and nutrient deficiencies in thyroid health, and more.

“I want my exercise to be efficient. I want it to be effective.” - Dr. Emily KiberdMuscle is essential to help convert thyroid hormones from T4 to T3. Unfortunately, it’s hard to build muscle for many people with thyroid conditions. At the same time, two of the biggest struggles for those dealing with hypothyroidism are chronic fatigue and losing weight.Feeding the muscle tissue with resistance training is often the best bet to tackle these issues since the more muscle we have, the more calories we burn at rest. Despite the cultural mindset of running and restricting fat intake, doing consistent resistance training and consuming enough protein can make a substantial positive difference to your health.To explore this topic further, I’m joined by Dr. Emily Kiberd today. Dr. Emily is a chiropractor, mama to Elvis and Brooklyn, and the creator of Thyroid Strong, the only doctor-designed exercise program for women with Hashimoto's to learn to work out without burnout. She has been featured in Vogue, Women's Health, Self magazine, and Fortune for her expertise in strength training, injury prevention, and ergonomics.In this conversation, Dr. Emily and I discuss the importance of exercise for individuals with thyroid conditions, her journey into helping people with muscle mass and exercise, the benefits of resistance training, recommendations for protein intake, the importance of proper form and technique, how to find the right exercise program for you, and more.

Carnitine is a nitrogen-containing compound synthesized in the liver and kidneys and found in certain foods we eat. Although it’s primarily in the muscle, none is manufactured there.Research has shown numerous health benefits of L-carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine, from managing dementia to mitochondrial and thyroid health. Today, I’m sharing some of these studies and the reasons why you may want to consider supplementing with L-carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine to support your thyroid.In this episode, you’ll learn about:- The difference between L-carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine- How L-carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine can help with supporting muscle and mitochondrial health and more- Dosage considerations for people with Hashimoto’s- What research shows us about the benefits of L-carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine in treating various 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/l-carnitine-acetyl-L-carnitine-and-thyroid-health/.

We can learn a lot by looking at the levels and the ratio of the main thyroid hormones tested these days, T3 and T4. When both are low, the most common cause is Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, which occurs when the immune system damages the thyroid gland.

We all have stress in our lives, whether physical, chemical, emotional, or microbial, and how we deal with that stress makes a huge difference in how our bodies respond. A lot of what we see with thyroid physiology is an adaptive response to some type of excessive stress response.Getting well is not about how many supplements you take; it’s about finding a balanced approach to diet, nutrition, sleep, respiration, and exercise. We can support thyroid recovery by identifying and reducing the underlying stressors and addressing the foundational elements of good health.Today, I’m excited to discuss thyroid physiology with Dr. Eric Balcavage. Dr. Eric Balcavage is the owner and founder of Rejuvagen, a functional medicine clinic in Chadds Ford, PA, and a nationally recognized speaker and educator on various health-related topics, including thyroid physiology, bile physiology, detoxification, oxidative stress, methylation, and chronic illness.In this conversation, Dr. Eric and I discuss his journey into functional medicine, his perspective on thyroid health, the importance of identifying and addressing underlying stressors, limitations of the allopathic approach to treating thyroid disorders, Dr. Eric’s approach to thyroid hormone testing, the role of breathing and carbon dioxide in oxygenation, why we must look at lab markers in a bigger context, and more.
