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.

Castor Oil Packs and Thyroid Health with Carrie Vitt
The lymphatic system is crucial in keeping our bodies healthy by helping eliminate waste products. Without a pump, it's essential to support your lymphatic system by keeping it moving, and castor oil packs are a great way to do just that.For centuries, castor oil packs have been used as a natural therapy on various parts of the body, from the liver to the abdomen, joints, and thyroid. The process is simple and starts with applying a piece of cloth soaked in castor oil to the skin. The pack is then covered with plastic wrap and a heat source, such as a hot water bottle, and left on for a specific time. For this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Carrie Vitt about the incredible benefits of castor oil packs for thyroid health. Carrie is a Functional Nutritional Therapist at Our Well House and the publisher of the health and wellness site, Deliciously Organic. Carrie specializes in teaching how to use nutrition, detox therapies, and lifestyle changes for those with thyroid disease and autoimmunity.In this conversation, Carrie and I explore how castor oil packs can benefit people with both hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto’s, how Carrie approaches iodine supplementation, the simple steps you can use to get started with castor oil packs, some of Carrie’s favorite essential oils to support both the thyroid and immune system, and more.

Redefining Autoimmune Conditions and How To Address Them Naturally
Whether it’s Graves’, Hashimoto’s, or multiple sclerosis, when you have an autoimmune condition, your body suffers from chronic inflammation.Our food supply has many inflammatory triggers, and everybody has a unique tolerance threshold regarding how many toxins they can manage while maintaining a healthy appearance. Once you pass that threshold, you enter into autoimmunity, and it takes a lot of sustained effort to bring yourself back below that threshold.Today I’m joined by naturopath and author Elizabeth Yarnell to talk about her approach to anti-inflammatory strategies. Since being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1999, Elizabeth Yarnell has been on a mission to redefine MS and autoimmunity naturally as a traditional naturopath and Certified LEAP Therapist. She has worked with hundreds of MS and other autoimmune sufferers in her nationwide clinic, using unique, personalized non-pharmaceutical therapies to empower them to reclaim their health.In this conversation, Elizabeth and I dive into the connection between inflammation and autoimmunity, why most of us could benefit from reducing our inflammatory triggers, food sensitivities and the differences between IgG and MRT testing, Elizabeth’s natural approach to treating parasite infections, and more. I received a lot of feedback the first time Elizabeth was here, and I’m sure you’ll get a lot of value from this one.

While the thyroid gland can regenerate, it's a slow process.Part of the problem with thyroid gland regeneration is that, in most cases, people aren’t removing the underlying factor causing the damage.

Nutrient Density Chat with Dr. Sarah Ballantyne
Almost all of us are walking around with nutrient shortfalls.In the health and wellness community, we define diets based on what foods they consider good or bad. The problem is that it often leads to an increasingly restrictive approach focused on avoidance and moral judgments instead of nutrition.Recognizing these issues, today’s guest Dr. Sarah Ballantyne decided to create a resource that would help people push back against diet culture simply and logically. That’s how Nutrivore was born.Award-winning public speaker, New York Times bestselling author, and world-renowned health expert, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD, believes the key to reversing the current epidemics of chronic disease is scientific literacy. She creates educational resources to help people regain their health through diet and lifestyle choices informed by the most current evidence-based scientific research. With Nutrivore, Dr. Sarah seeks to create a positive and inclusive approach to dietary guidance based on science and devoid of dogma, using nutrient density and sufficiency as its basic principles: nourishment, not judgment.In this conversation, Dr. Sarah and I talk about why most of us are likely to have nutrient insufficiencies, how you can apply Nutrivore principles, what Nutrivore Scores tell you, whether we should be concerned about the sugar in fruit, the importance of making sustainable changes, and more.I’ve been following Dr. Sarah for a long time, and she’s been someone I have wanted to interview since I started this podcast. I was absolutely thrilled to have this conversation, and Dr. Sarah shared many valuable insights you can apply.
