Save My Thyroid: Healing Tips for Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's
Dr. Eric Osansky DC, IFMCP
If you have hyperthyroidism (Graves' disease, toxic multinodular goiter, etc.) or Hashimoto's thyroiditis and are looking to do everything to save your thyroid gland, then the Save My Thyroid podcast is for you! Dr. Eric Osansky DC, IFMCP is the host, as he personally was diagnosed with Graves' disease in 2008 and was able to get into remission taking a natural approach. He created this podcast to help others with hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's save their thyroid and regain their health. If you have hyperthyroidism then pretty much all of the episodes will benefit you, and if you have Hashimoto's you'll benefit from most of the guest expert episodes, as well as some of the "solo" episodes. The reason there is more of a focus on hyperthyroidism is because all of the other thyroid-related podcasts focus mostly on hypothyroidism/Hashimoto's, and since Dr. Eric personally dealt with Graves' disease he wanted this podcast to focus more on hyperthyroidism, although it will still offer plenty of value to those with hypothyroidism/Hashimoto's. Dr. Eric Osansky lives in Matthews NC with his wife, 2 daughters, 3 cats, 2 dogs, and 3 guinea pigs! He has been a practitioner for 20+ years, and has focused on helping people with thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions since 2009.

The Gut-Mold-Thyroid Connection with Evan Brand
“I think mold toxicity is the biggest epidemic facing the country, if not the world right now.” - Evan BrandThe average person in the modern world spends most of their time indoors. So much has changed in the past 200 years about the material we use for our homes and the way we build, and many of these changes make us more prone to mold issues. As a result, a shocking number of us are walking around fatigued, obese, and anxious or thinking that mental illness runs in our families when, in truth, mold is a multigenerational problem.Today, I’m super excited to be joined by Evan Brand to talk about the mold-gut-thyroid connection. Evan is board-certified in Holistic Nutrition and is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and has transformed the lives of thousands of clients with his online practice by finding and fixing the root causes of fatigue, depression, anxiety, digestive, and other issues. He solved his health struggles using the same advanced lab testing strategies and protocols he now uses in the clinic. Evan offers at-home functional medicine training courses through his Functional Academy of Medicine and Epigenetics (FAME™) on gut, mold, and energy issues.In this conversation, Evan and I discuss his experience with mold toxicity, how long it really takes to recover, the connection between mold, gut health, and the thyroid, recommendations for mold testing and remediation, why it’s essential to address the sources of mold exposure, the use of binders and glutathione to support detoxification, and more.
