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

“Standing in the flow of energy that the natural world offers is foundational to health.” - Dr. Catherine ClintonThe chemical/mechanical model has produced such an incredible paradigm in health. Diet, lifestyle, supplementation, and functional medicine testing are a crucial part of many people’s paths to optimizing their health. At the same time, many of us are doing it all but hit roadblocks in recovery that require incorporating new tools and strategies, like those offered by quantum biology.Getting back into the context of the natural world through coherence, grounding, and sunlight is a free, accessible, and powerful approach that can make a profound difference to someone’s health. Today I’m excited to be joined by Dr. Caroline Clinton to explore the topic of quantum biology. Dr. Catherine is a licensed naturopathic physician who has spent over 16 years helping people overcome their health issues. She has learned how our quantum biological system is intimately and inseparably connected to the world around us and has seen the benefits for her own health and those of her patients.In this conversation, Dr.  Catherine  and I discuss her experiences with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Lyme disease, and ulcerative colitis, how she first learned about quantum biology's impact on health, the benefits of grounding, sunlight exposure, and coherence, the significant positive impact of aligning with natural elements to support healing and maintain health, and more.

There’s no one best diet for any health condition but there are certain similarities across diets that are beneficial for those with thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions. For my patients with Graves’ and Hashimoto’s, I typically recommend an AIP diet as a starting point, eventually reintroducing foods which don’t trigger a negative response. While many patients start there, some will choose to follow other diets that people with autoimmune conditions have found to be beneficial.Today I’m sharing my dietary recommendations for people with Hashimoto's. I’m discussing the pros and cons of common diet approaches, common foods to include and avoid, and the importance of reintroducing foods after an elimination phase.In this episode, you’ll learn about:- The three types of diets I discuss in my latest book- Common foods to avoid across multiple types of diets- What you need to know about elimination diets- Why grains and legumes are generally excluded- Foods that are allowed and to be avoided on each type of diet- How to decide which type of diet is best for you-Reintroducing foods after an elimination dietAs always, I hope you find 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/whats-the-best-diet-for-hashimotos/.

“You need a healthy gut to have a healthy immune system.”If you have hyperthyroidism, whether it's Graves’ disease, toxic multinodular goiter, or even subclinical hyperthyroidism, then you might wonder what diet you should follow. While there’s no one-size-fits-all diet solution, there are some foundational pillars to keep in mind when determining the right nutrition strategy for you.In my latest book, The Hyperthyroid Healing Diet, I explored three different diets in detail, explaining what each involves and how you can start implementing the right one for you. Today, I’ll discuss how different types of foods and diet strategies impact those with hyperthyroidism and the role of diet in the thyroid healing journey.

Selenium is an essential mineral, particularly for those with thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions such as Graves’ disease and Hashimoto's. It plays a significant role in various bodily functions, including acting as a glutathione precursor and helping lower thyroid antibodies.While many food sources of selenium exist, their variable levels make it challenging to obtain adequate amounts, especially for people who need additional selenium to support their healing journey. Today, I’m discussing the importance of selenium for thyroid health and answering the question of whether consuming Brazil nuts can provide sufficient selenium for those with deficiencies.In this episode, you’ll learn about:- The importance of selenium for thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions- Selenium's role as a precursor to glutathione and how it affects thyroid antibodies- Recommended dosages of selenium- The variability of selenium content in Brazil nuts- Alternative food sources of selenium and recommendations during healing- When to consider supplementationAs always, I hope you find 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/selenium-brazil-nuts-and-thyroid-health/.

“When I went back to see him, he was impressed with how much less everything was.”When it comes to thyroid health, diet and lifestyle are important elements in your healing journey. The AIP diet, in particular, is often a helpful place to start as it serves as an elimination diet, removing the inflammatory foods that can be problematic in your regular diet.In today’s Save My Thyroid Audit, I’m talking to Corie, who was diagnosed with thyroid eye disease and Graves’ disease and who found that improving her diet greatly helped with her condition. In this episode, Corie and I discuss her path to diagnosis, the symptoms that have resolved and those that continue to linger, the impact of an anti-inflammatory diet, the challenges of being a caregiver for an elderly parent, the role of stress management, the interconnectedness of diet, stress, and thyroid health, and more.While this isn’t the same as my comprehensive consultations with patients, I’m confident you’ll find this conversation valuable.

Many people want to consume beverages other than water as part of their regular diet. I drink a couple of cups of herbal and green tea regularly and have other types of beverages at specific times. For others, fermented drinks and smoothies are regular parts of their routine.Today, I’m sharing which beverages are best for people with thyroid conditions and those following specific healing diets.

“Photobiomodulation can help in many different ways, in many different demographics. It's just an amazing tool.” - Dr. Brandon CrawfordThe body has many different cellular mechanisms that are turned on or off based on the type of light we are exposed to. In recent years, numerous research studies have shown that laser and light therapy are promising modalities for improving thyroid health. When used correctly, they can promote healing, reduce inflammation, and regulate thyroid function.Today, I’m thrilled to be joined by Dr. Brandon Crawford, an expert in laser and light therapy and neurophysiology. Starting with a childhood fascination with lasers, Dr. Brandon saw the benefits for his own health and, recognizing the expansive potential for healing, decided to focus his career on photobiomodulation and neurophysiology.In this conversation, Dr. Brandon and I discuss how laser and light therapies can be used for conditions like Graves' disease and Hashimoto's, the differences between laser and LED therapies, why properly calibrated lasers are crucial, integrating laser therapy with other treatments, the importance of natural sunlight, and more.

Microplastics, generated from plastic degradation, persist in the environment for hundreds, even thousands of years. If current production and waste management trends continue, approximately 12,000 metric tons of plastic waste will be released into the natural environment by 2050.According to the research, people consume between 39,000 and 52,000 particles of microplastics annually, which contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals and other harmful compounds. Today, I’m discussing the potential effects of microplastics on the thyroid gland, their impact on endocrine function, and how you can minimize your exposure.In this episode, you’ll learn about:- Understanding microplastics and nanoplastics- The harmful effects of microplastics on various species and ecosystems- How microplastics can act as endocrine disruptors- Effects of microplastics on the thyroid- How microplastics affect gut health- Common sources of microplastics- Minimizing your exposure to microplastics and supporting detoxificationAs always, I hope you find 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-microplastics-harm-the-thyroid/.

“I was briefly medicated with T3 only, and I had an awful experience. It got to the point where I wasn't sleeping or eating.” - PamelaWhile not everybody with the antibodies for Hashimoto's needs to take thyroid hormone replacements, a lot of doctors will prescribe it across the board. In some cases, this can lead to adverse side effects that significantly disrupt quality of life and lead to a hyperthyroid state.In today’s Save My Thyroid Audit, I’m talking to Pamela, who has the antibodies for Hashimoto's and is also dealing with extreme fatigue as well as some digestive issues. In this episode, Pamela and I discuss her experience with thyroid hormone replacement, struggles with extreme fatigue, anxiety, and digestive issues, the importance of accurate testing for conditions like SIBO and adrenal health, potential treatment options, the need for a comprehensive approach to managing symptoms, and more.While this isn’t the same as my comprehensive consultations with patients, I’m confident you’ll find this conversation valuable.
