While there are many contributing factors to autoimmune disorders, from environmental toxins to stress and genetics,  some factors play an undeniably larger role in their development.Today’s guest, Josie Warren, believes that when you learn how to handle your stress, your body will heal itself. Josie is an autoimmune expert who used to have Graves’ disease, Hashimoto’s, and seven other autoimmune disorders, which she’s completely resolved. She now takes people down the same path of healing she has traveled.Josie is on a mission to give hope to those suffering from autoimmune disorders. Her framework centers around helping people to shift their bodies from the sympathetic to the parasympathetic by learning how to deal with life stressors. After working with many girls and women ages 8 to 74, Josie advocates for helping your body self-repair by eliminating chronic stress.In this conversation, Josie shares her story of overcoming multiple autoimmune conditions by making a single change in her lifestyle. We also discuss why you shouldn’t feel defeated by your genetics, the common root cause of all of Josie’s autoimmune conditions, why Josie doesn’t recommend restrictive diets, her top tips for managing and eliminating stress, and more. I’ll also share my take on cure versus remission and why I take a certain approach to diet and stress management.

Iodine contrast media is used in several radiological procedures, such as CT scans.With a typical dose of iodine contrast medium containing about 13,500 micrograms of free iodine, along with 15-60 grams of bound iodine that may be liberated as free iodine in the body, this represents an acute iodine load for the body.From the research I’ve done, contrast media seems to be a concern, especially for those with hyperthyroidism, although it could potentially affect those with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s.Today I’m breaking down what five research studies show about the risk of contrast media for those with thyroid conditions and whether there are particular cases where it’s a bigger concern.In this episode, you’ll learn what research studies show about:The amount of iodine in contrast medium far exceeds the minimum amounts which have been shown to cause iodine-induced hyperthyroidism Potential for an increase in the risk of iodine contrast media-induced thyroid dysfunctionCases where iodine contrast media can cause thyroid dysfunction in euthyroid nodule goiter patientsRate of occurrence of iodine contrast media-induced thyroid dysfunctionAs 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/risks-of-iodine-contrast-agents-and-thyroid-health/.To take the Save My Thyroid Quiz visit www.savemythyroid.com/quiz Free resources for your thyroid health Get your FREE Thyroid and Immune Health Restoration Action Points Checklist at SaveMyThyroidChecklist.com High-Quality Nutritional Supplements For Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto’ sHave you checked out my new ThyroSave supplement line?

“Our bodies are too complex to think that one thing can fix every body.” - Dr. Shane SteadmanIt’s not enough to do a thyroid panel and start taking medication. We need to dig into why the thyroid isn’t functioning optimally in the first place.If we want to get to the root cause of why the thyroid isn't working, we must address issues related to the brain and gut. Today I’m joined by chiropractic neurologist Dr. Shane Steadman to discuss the role of the brain in thyroid function and autoimmunity and how the brain-gut-thyroid axis works.Dr. Shane Steadman is a Chiropractic Neurologist and one of only a handful of Chiropractic Neurologists in the entire state of Colorado. Dr. Steadman is an expert in treating and supporting “tough cases” such as concussions, migraines, vertigo, peripheral neuropathy, autoimmune conditions, thyroid and hormonal disorders as well as other health conditions. He has completed numerous hours of postgraduate and advanced studies in functional neurology and functional medicine, including functional blood chemistry and thyroid issues, as well as neurotransmitters and brain function through the University of Bridgeport. Dr. Steadman is the owner of Integrated Health Systems in Denver, Colorado.This was a fantastic interview, and I learned so much from Dr. Steadman. We talked about why we shouldn’t look at the thyroid in isolation, how neurological conditions can lead to thyroid dysfunction and vice versa, Dr. Steadman’s approach to testing and treatment, the connection between leaky gut and brain fog, and more. This conversation had so many nuggets that would benefit anyone with a thyroid or autoimmune thyroid condition.To learn more, visit the show notes at https://savemythyroid.com/podcast/discussing-the-brain-gut-thyroid-axis-with-dr-shane-steadman-066/.To take the Save My Thyroid Quiz visit www.savemythyroid.com/quiz Free resources for your thyroid health Get your FREE Thyroid and Immune Health Restoration Action Points Checklist at SaveMyThyroidChecklist.com High-Quality Nutritional Supplements For Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto’ sHave you checked out my new ThyroSave supplement line?

Legumes are a good source of vegetarian protein and contain many beneficial nutrients. Unfortunately, they also have compounds that can interfere with intestinal permeability and nutrient absorption, which is why they’re excluded from a strict AIP or paleo diet.While some people can get away with eating legumes, I prefer a more conservative approach in my recommendations to people with Graves’ Disease and Hashimoto’s.Today I’m talking about legumes and your gut health, my approach to reintroducing them into the diet, and how to prepare them to reduce their negative impact.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why legumes are excluded from a standard AIP dietHealth benefits and risks associated with eating legumesReintroducing legumes into your dietKey considerations for vegetariansWhy I recommend starting with a stricter diet before reintroducing legumesHow to properly prepare legumesAs 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/why-are-legumes-not-part-of-an-aip-or-paleo-diet/.To take the Save My Thyroid Quiz visit www.savemythyroid.com/quiz Free resources for your thyroid health Get your FREE Thyroid and Immune Health Restoration Action Points Checklist at SaveMyThyroidChecklist.com High-Quality Nutritional Supplements For Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto’ sHave you checked out my new ThyroSave supplement line?

The skin is a very complex organ. It’s large, outward-facing, and has to balance being soft and supple and allowing for excretion while protecting and keeping most things in.Unfortunately, our modern Western hygiene habits are often misaligned with how our skin is meant to be taken care of. With constant washing and harsh soaps and skin products, it’s no wonder so many people are dealing with skin conditions.Today I’m joined by Dr. Julie Greenberg, a licensed Naturopathic Doctor (ND) and Registered Herbalist RH(AHG) specializing in integrative dermatology. Dr. Greenberg is the founder of the Center for Integrative & Naturopathic Dermatology, a holistic clinic that approaches skin and hair problems by finding and treating the root cause. She holds degrees from Northwestern University, Stanford University, and Bastyr University and lectures at naturopathic medical schools, and is sought after to speak at conferences across the United States on the topics of hair, skin, and nails. A Hashimoto’s diagnosis changed the trajectory of Dr. Greenberg’s career and led her down the path of naturopathy. In this conversation, we discuss the connection between thyroid health and skin, why fiber is so important, diet and lifestyle recommendations for healthy skin, the gut-skin connection, and more.To learn more, visit the show notes at https://savemythyroid.com/podcast/skin-conditions-and-thyroid-health-with-dr-julie-greenberg-065/.To take the Save My Thyroid Quiz visit www.savemythyroid.com/quiz Free resources for your thyroid health Get your FREE Thyroid and Immune Health Restoration Action Points Checklist at SaveMyThyroidChecklist.com High-Quality Nutritional Supplements For Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto’ sHave you checked out my new ThyroSave supplement line?
