A healthy gut is crucial for optimal thyroid health.  The first study of its kind has shown those with SIBO have an increased risk of thyroid autoimmunity.  This is good news and suggests that by improving your gut health you can have a healthier thyroid. https://drruscio.com/hashimotos-thyroiditis-sibo-connection/ My new book is finally available: Healthy Gut, Healthy You.

Peptides are an exciting area of medicine and can be used for anti-aging, immune function, gut healing and tissue repair. The most effective peptides are Ipamorelin, CJC-1295, BPC-157 and Thymosin Beta 4.  If this sounds like another language don’t worry, today we speak with one of the leading pioneers in peptide therapy in the world, Dr. William Seeds. He helps us see an easy outline of what peptides work best for anti-aging, compared to gut healing, compared to tissue repair compared to autoimmunity.  I think you will really enjoy it! https://drruscio.com/peptide-therapy-anti-aging-immune-function/ My new book is finally available: Healthy Gut, Healthy You.

What is the best thyroid medication? You may have heard that you require a special medication that combines T4 and T3, but this isn’t true for most. The majority of people appear to respond best to T4 alone, although some may need a higher dose to feel optimal. For those who do not respond fully to this, there are other considerations including T4 plus T3 medications or even liquid T3. This is important because if you jump to a T4 plus T3 medication too quickly you could risk side effects, including cardiovascular symptoms. Let’s discuss this and a SIBO case study illustrating why less treatment is often more effective. https://drruscio.com/choosing-the-right-thyroid-medication/ Get access to the Future of Functional Medicine Review, Clinical Newsletter at: https://drruscio.com/review/ My new book is finally available: Healthy Gut, Healthy You.

If you are using the wrong thyroid test you could miss the fact that you are hypothyroid because your labs say you are normal. The best test to use is known as the dialysis/LC-MS (I will explain what that means momentarily). It’s also important to understand when your thyroid-like symptoms are being caused by your gut, not your thyroid. I will share a case study where 100% of thyroid-like symptoms cleared after improving the patient’s gut health. https://drruscio.com/thyroid-tests-healing-your-gut-can-fix-your-thyroid/ Get access to the Future of Functional Medicine Review, Clinical Newsletter at: https://drruscio.com/review/ My new book is finally available: Healthy Gut, Healthy You.
