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

“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/.

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/.

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/.
