Are there certain foods you would recommend for hypothyroid? I’ve researched a few because I would much rather try to support thyroid function with nutrition than medicine
Do you not recommend taking selenium or zinc long term to help Hashimotos?
I usually recommend supplmentation temporarily, but a multivitamin with Zinc and Selenium can be taken longer term.
What’s your thoughts on selenium? Will selenium deficiency impact your thyroid medication and your health in general?
Good morning! I was wondering why using ox bile can potentially trigger hypothyroid symptoms. Do you happen to know?
I suffer from severe chronic pain from RA and Hashi’s and do not respond well to medications. I have considered doing collagen supplementation. Do you have any information or opinion on this for pain management? (Type 4-6 collagens?)
OMG! If they were on meds & those supplements could be so dangerous!
Young Living EO Thyromin caps will totally jack your counts around…
So what r we supposed to take cause most cases synthriod doesn’t convert properly
Was taking thyrocsin by Thorne labs was that one of the bad supplements
Difference between hashimoto and hypothyroid?
Hypothyroidism is low Thyroid function. Hashimoto’s is specifically autoimmunity to your Thyroid (TPO or Thyroglobulin) which causes hypothyroidism.
Paleo diet , petty much no gluten , no dairy , no sugar
Nothing inflammatory
That works for me.
I am embarrassed to say this, but I seem to have absolutely no sex drive at all!! Could this be related to my thyroid? I take 100mcg synthroid..Night sweats too…I was just wondering if it was just me..thanks for all of your help!!!
Yes it could be related. There are a lot of different possibilities including your thyroid, but focusing on optimal thyroid hormone physiology and stable blood sugar has a significant impact on sex hormone production.
The Office of Dr. Brad Shook so are you saying maybe test for diabetes? I am overweight, working to get healthy, but it is hard..right now I am under the care of my Pcp, should I actually move to an endo?

How can they have these in the supplements if Cytomel can only be purchased with prescription?
Is it safe to take Sea Kelp with Iodine for Iodine deficiency?

Right there with you Tracie…not on any meds ( yet) here, though!
Thanks for letting us know!
I love all the info you give to us!
My dr tested my thyroid and this year he also tested T3 free. It was low . Now I am on natural thyroid Rx. I am in my 60’s. I was having lots of symptoms of low thyroid but TSH and T3 andT4 were normal. It was the T3 Free that showed it. I have never felt better. I didnot realize how my thyroid had gone down. I go to Internal medicine dr. Thanks for your work. I watched your video on tracing on your dry erase board. I take Vit D too. Karen
What is the natural thyroid RX you take? Does it give you more energy?
Ham R Dawn yes. It’s NP brand and or Armour thyroid. RX only.
Fantastic Karen! Great job on being your own advocate!

Ive been on thyroid meds t4 and t3 for 30 years is there ever a chance to ever get off of meds and get my thyroid working again?? On ultrasound my thyroid has shriveled up.
Does hypothyroidism and diabetes go hand in hand?
Hello, Dr. Do you have or could you link me to a video/info as to what your advice is for overall general health for us who have lost our thyroid to cancer? For instance…most needed supplementation…your best form of synthetic thyroid hormone…the most what not to do? Thank you for your time!

Yes, that is crazy dangerous!!
Thanks for your advice,
Muchas gracias por la información

My doctor won’t test anything except my TSH. He said the others weren’t necessary, which I know is not true!
Is levothyroxine a fake T4?
