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

“Most people don’t eat near enough protein.” - Dr. Sabrina SoltAlthough I don’t commonly recommend the carnivore diet to my patients, I've heard several success stories regarding autoimmunity. To help us explore this topic, I’m joined by Dr. Sabrina Solt, a naturopathic doctor and follower of the carnivore diet.With her naturopathic background, it was hard for Dr. Sabrina to accept that plants weren’t the best route for her healing. But after trying the carnivore diet, her chronic health issues finally disappeared, and the results were undeniable.Dr. Sabrina Solt is a naturopathic doctor located in Scottsdale, AZ. She practices regenerative and anti-aging medicine and uses carnivore and animal-based diets as part of her treatment protocols to heal everything from autoimmune disorders to chronic pain.In this conversion, Dr. Sabrina and I talk about the fundamentals of the carnivore diet, myths we’ve been told about the necessity of plant-based foods in our diet, why we need to reframe our thoughts on cholesterol and saturated fats, the benefits she’s seen with her patients who have switched to a carnivore diet, and more. As always, after the episode, I share my take on some things we discuss in the interview.

Iron is one of the most commonly deficient minerals. That’s why I recommend a full iron panel to my patients.Although iron deficiency is commonly associated with anemia, it’s important to note that you could have anemia without being iron deficient. Similarly, you can have an iron deficiency without being anemic. We also have to consider iron toxicity, which can be a problem for people with very high iron levels.Today I’m sharing how too much iron and too little iron can impact autoimmune conditions such as Graves’ disease and Hashimoto’s. I’ll discuss what should be included in a full iron panel, symptoms of low or high iron levels, why we refer to optimal reference ranges, and more.In this episode, you’ll learn about:Why I recommend a full iron panel: serum iron, ferritin, iron saturation, and total iron-binding capacity (TIBC)Different types of anemiaCommon signs and symptoms associated with iron deficiencyThree leading causes of iron deficiencyWhat you need to know about dietary sources of iron and iron absorptionConditions that can lead to iron malabsorptionWhat you should be aware of when it comes to iron toxicity or iron overloadExcess iron can lead to oxidative stressIron deficiency impairs thyroid synthesisThe role of iron in phase one detoxification of the liverLab ranges versus optimal reference rangesAs 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/can-too-much-or-too-little-iron-affect-thyroid-health/.

“If you have thyroid health issues and you’re only taking medication, you’re cheating yourself out of feeling much better than you do.” -  Annabel BatemanThe best thing you can do for your health is to take a holistic approach. Optimizing your diet and lifestyle and taking medication where necessary allows you to succeed on your thyroid healing journey.Annabel Bateman is a Hashimoto’s patient, author, advocate, and coach. She has learned in 25+ years of living with Hashimoto's that developing a lifestyle that supports (and doesn't stress) her thyroid health is key. Drawing on skills learned in previous careers as a lawyer, life coach, family law mediator, and author, Annabel seeks to empower, educate and encourage women with thyroid conditions to develop their own thyroid-friendly lifestyle approach to their health so they can thrive and not just survive. She hosts a successful podcast, Let’s Talk Thyroid, which seeks to spread thyroid awareness and information, and is active on social media to spread positive & practical thyroid-related information. Annabel's latest book, Let’s Talk Thyroid: Positive & Practical Thyroid Help is all about how to live a thyroid-friendly lifestyle. While there is no magic “happy thyroid” formula or protocol, you’ve got to start somewhere. This book is that somewhere.In this conversation, Annabel and I discuss her journey with Hashimoto’s, how her quality of life has changed since taking a holistic view of her thyroid health, what you can do to avoid overwhelm and slowly incorporate positive changes, her four pillars for good health, the importance of stress management, how to manageably reduce your toxic load, and more.

Several foods are known to be potential triggers of autoimmunity. Others can cause leaky gut, which in turn can lead to autoimmunity.  Plus, if you’re eating inflammatory foods, regardless of whether they're triggers, it will be difficult to heal.Changing your diet may reverse the autoimmune component, but it’s important to remember that there could be other triggers.Today I’m sharing why working on your diet is an essential part of healing your thyroid and why changing your diet alone may not be not sufficient.In this episode, you’ll learn about:The triad of autoimmunityCertain foods are common triggers of autoimmunityFoods I recommend avoiding when working to restore your healthOther foods which can increase intestinal permeability (leaky gut)Multiple triggers are quite commonHow to know if food is a trigger for youAs 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/can-diet-alone-reverse-graves-disease-and-hashimotos/.

EMF exposure has a cumulative effect. Just because you’re okay today doesn’t mean you’ll be okay tomorrow. Now is the time to start taking small actions to minimize your exposure.But taking the first steps with EMF protection can feel overwhelming, so how can you get started without feeling overwhelmed?In this second part of my interview with Lloyd, he shares how you can use his U.M.M. framework to reduce your stress and approach EMF protection in a simpler way, tips for reducing your exposure, which aspects of protection provide the most significant return, everything you need to know about smart meters, and more on how EMFs affect our thyroid health.Before listening to the interview, we must remember that we won’t be perfect at this. Just take it slowly and prioritize the things that will make the most difference (like reducing nighttime exposure). As Lloyd mentions in this conversation, it's not just the presence of EMFs but their combination with other factors, especially environmental toxins, that we need to consider. I hope this inspires you to take action to reduce your exposure to EMFs. You might not notice any immediate changes in how you feel, but I really think doing so will benefit your health.

But while many people have thyroid nodules, most are benign.So, how can you assess whether a thyroid biopsy is necessary?

All living things are electromagnetic. That means electromagnetic fields (EMFs) affect everybody, even if you don’t feel them.At a fundamental level, our cells communicate via electrical charges, which can be disturbed by manmade EMFs, a significant proportion of which are from cell phones. The fact is that cell phones have become an integral part of our world, and they’re here to stay.  What we as users need to do is first recognize how big of problem EMFs pose and then figure out the best ways to use this technology safely.Today I’m joined by author and leader in the field of EMF protection, Lloyd Burrell. Lloyd is the creator of the EMF Health Summit and the Healing with Vibration Summit, the bestselling author of the books Healing with Vibration and EMF Practical Guide, and the founder of ElectricSense.com, which has had over 4 million visits since its inception in 2009.In 2002, Lloyd had a bad reaction while using his cell phone and what started as an unpleasant feeling soon became an unbearable sensation. Within a few short days, it was too painful to use his cell phone, and he started reacting to all his household electronics. In the end, it took ten years for him to get his health back on track. Now Lloyd is on a mission to educate people about the dangers of manmade electromagnetic fields and share solutions to help them reconnect with the healing forces of nature.I've been following Lloyd for quite some time, and I was very excited to have the opportunity to chat with him. It was such a rich conversation that we went longer than anticipated, so I’m splitting it into two parts. Remember to tune in for Part 2 on Tuesday, January 3, 2023!In part one of our conversation, Lloyd and I discuss what EMFs are, how they affect the body, the science behind the dangers of EMFs, common symptoms and conditions linked to EMF exposure, sources of EMF radiation, why we should be concerned about 5G, Lloyd’s tips for cell phone use, and more.

The same viruses can also impact the thyroid gland, both directly and indirectly.As usual, I dove into research around this, and today I’m sharing three research studies, breaking down how they were designed and exploring the results they found.In this episode, you’ll learn what research shows about:Whether viruses are possible triggers of autoimmune thyroid diseaseThe most common viruses that were identified in patients undergoing thyroid surgeryCytomegalovirus as a causative agent of thyroiditisPeople with compromised immune systems are more susceptibleThe direct and indirect effects of COVID-19 on thyroid healthAs 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/can-viruses-directly-harm-the-thyroid-gland/.
