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

Your environment plays a central role in your health, and immune dysfunction is at play alongside many conditions.An allergy is an overreaction of your immune system to something in your environment, and persistent infections like Lyme tend to make your immune system hypersensitive to your world. Unfortunately, we still don’t fully understand what makes some people sensitive to particular allergens, and some countries have a wildly different rate than others.Today, Dr. Darin Ingels joins us to chat about allergies, asthma, and Lyme Disease. Dr. Darin is a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine. His practice focuses on environmental medicine and using diet, nutrients, herbs, homeopathy, immunotherapy, and conventional medical therapies to help his patients achieve better health.In this conversation, Dr. Darin discusses why looking at the whole person is essential, not just the infection itself. He shares his journey with overcoming Lyme, what you need to know about allergy testing, the connection between asthma and allergies, food sensitivities and gut health, natural alternatives for managing allergies, using immunotherapy to help modulate the immune system response, and more.

Probiotics are one of the most common supplements I recommend to patients. With their role in improving gut health and suppressing autoimmunity, probiotics can be an important supporting tool for your thyroid healing journey. Although fermented foods are an excellent dietary source of probiotics, most people don’t eat enough to rely on diet alone. That’s where a high-quality probiotic supplement comes in.Today I’m sharing a comprehensive look at probiotics to help you cut through the overwhelming number of probiotic supplements available. I’m talking about food sources of probiotics, the conditions that probiotics can help with, what to look for in a probiotic supplement, the impact of probiotics on thyroid health, and more.

With the wide range of tests available, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by the options.Our approach at Natural Endocrine Solutions is to prioritize the tests that best inform our treatment plans. Depending on a patient’s budget, that could look like several baseline and follow-up tests, while others may only choose one or two.Whether we’re doing comprehensive or conservative testing, it’s essential to understand each test's benefits, requirements, and limitations.Today I’m joined by Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN) practitioner Tracy Farrell to talk about the testing we do with our patients with thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions. Tracy has been part of the Natural Endocrine Solutions team for over three years, and, like me, she is very passionate about helping people save their thyroid and regain their health.In this conversation, we discuss a lot of different tests, but it’s ultimately up to you which tests you want to do. I also address concerns with false negative and false positive test results, SIBO, and mold testing, and why I’m not a big fan of colonoscopies.

Thyroid eye disease (TED) is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the tissues of the eyes.While supplementation can be very helpful in treating thyroid eye disease, the bigger goal should be to find and remove your triggers. The best results come from supplementation alongside diet and lifestyle changes such as eating an anti-inflammatory diet and reducing stress and your toxic load.Today I’m sharing the top three supplements I recommend for thyroid eye disease and bonus supplements that many people find helpful.In this episode, you’ll learn about:The top three supplements I recommend for people experiencing thyroid eye disease:Selenium - reduces oxidative stressBerberine - glucose regulation, lipid metabolism, and gut healthAlpha-lipoic acid - insulin metabolism and sensitivityOther recommended supplementsCurcumin - known to have anti-inflammatory properties and reduce oxidative stressQuercetin - commonly used for antihistamine and antiviral propertiesVitamin D - supports the immune system and bone healthOmega-3 Fatty Acids - beneficial for different types of inflammatory conditionsAs always, I hope you found 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/3-supplements-for-thyroid-eye-disease/.

There’s an entire constellation of healing opportunities waiting to be addressed once we know where to look.While conventional doctors are often hyper-focused on symptom treatment, functional medicine zooms in on treating the root causes of the symptoms we experience. Similarly, functional testing is about getting information on interconnected body systems that collectively contribute to our symptoms.Over 20 years ago, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® founder Reed Davis worked in a lab, assessing patients’ test results. He was struck by how many people had been to practitioner after practitioner and had their symptoms dismissed because their lab results were “normal.” Deciding that there must be a better solution, Reed became an expert in analyzing alternative labs and created a system of investigation into the causal factors and healing opportunities, which are now an integral part of the protocols at Functional Diagnostic Nutrition®.In this conversation, Reed and I take a deep dive into the different types of functional tests, his approach to testing, the pros and cons of each type, how various tests can be applied, and more.

Although I didn’t take antithyroid medication when I dealt with Graves disease, some people with hyperthyroidism need them. And while my goal is to help people restore their health so that they no longer need medication, not everyone with hyperthyroidism chooses to or can take a solely natural treatment approach.Unfortunately, many endocrinologists tell hyperthyroidism patients that they can only take methimazole for 18 to 24 months. At that point, if they’re not in remission, they’ll push them to either get radioactive iodine or thyroid surgery.In most cases, this is an entirely bogus timeline, and if someone is tolerating the medication well, there’s no reason they can’t take it longer. Today I’m sharing what research studies show about long-term methimazole use so that you can arm yourself with data to show your endocrinologist if they’re pressuring you into radioactive iodine treatment or thyroid surgery.In this episode, you’ll learn:What research shows about the rate of remission of Graves' hyperthyroidism with long-term administration of low-dose methimazoleWhen long-term methimazole treatment might be appropriate in pediatric Graves' disease The difference in the chances of relapse between long-term and short-term courses of methimazoleWhy I always recommend addressing the root of the problemThe potential for using low-dose methimazole as a lifelong therapeutic modalityAs always, I hope you found 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/how-long-can-i-safely-take-methimazole-for/.
