You should eat according to your current health status.Most of us know that there’s no single diet that’s a perfect match for everyone, and while I often refer to the AIP diet for those who have Graves’ Disease and Hashimoto’s, some people are not well-suited to that diet.Risa Groux joins me today to discuss her FoodFrame™ method and how it helps determine the best diet type for each person to follow. Risa is a Functional Nutritionist and Certified Autoimmune Coach who has always been passionate about nutrition and good health.

If you're experiencing muscle weakness or decreased muscle mass, there's a good chance it's related to your hyperthyroidism. At the same time, knowing that other causes might be at play is essential.After I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease, I experienced a noticeable loss of muscle mass associated with hyperthyroidism. Years later, I was walking with my daughter, and one of my legs started giving out. That was the first time I've ever experienced something like that, and it turned out to be a symptom of chronic Lyme disease.I can't emphasize this enough: you always want to identify and address the root cause of your symptoms.Today I’m talking about the connection between muscle weakness and hyperthyroidism, exploring other causes such as electrolyte imbalances, medications, and infections, how to test for decreased muscle mass, what you can do to address the cause of your symptoms, and more.To learn more, visit the show notes at https://savemythyroid.com/podcast/muscle-weakness-and-hyperthyroidism-055/.

Some people simply can’t tolerate antithyroid medications, and in some cases, the natural agents aren’t effective. When that happens, endocrinologists often recommend radioactive iodine thyroid surgery.Before rushing to surgery, it’s worth exploring options such as cholestyramine with your doctor.Today I’m sharing the research around cholestyramine and its effectiveness compared to antithyroid medication.In this episode, you’ll learn:What is cholestyramine?Typical use cases for cholestyramineHow to advocate for yourself with your endocrinologistResearch studies on cholestyramine helping with hyperthyroidismSide effects associated with cholestyramineIf your endocrinologist is pressuring you to get radioactive iodine thyroid surgery, it's worth bringing up cholestyramine.

There are many health benefits associated with good quality sea salt, and it’s something I recommend to my patients and personally add to my food regularly.At the same time, we know that too much salt can be problematic.

You won't get very far if you’re working on a thyroid problem but ignoring your blood sugar. You must address both.Many people have heard of insulin resistance, but not as many people are familiar with thyroid hormone resistance. Today, the Institute of Nutritional Endocrinology founder, Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo, is joining me to talk about insulin and thyroid resistance.Dr. Ritamarie is passionately committed to transforming our broken, disease-focused system into a true health care system where every practitioner is skilled at finding the root cause of health challenges and uses the wisdom of nature combined with modern scientific research to restore balance.In this episode, we talk about how Dr. Ritamarie went from a career in tech to health and wellness, the role of insulin in our bodies and how insulin resistance develops, metabolic flexibility, her recommendations for testing, contributing factors to thyroid resistance, how you can take charge of your health, and more. This was a terrific interview; you might even take some notes.To learn more, visit the show notes at https://savemythyroid.com/podcast/addressing-insulin-resistance-and-thyroid-hormone-resistance-with-dr-ritamarie-loscalzo-053/.
