Dr. Mark Hyman works at the Cleveand Clinic doing some functional medicine.
Same dr put me on NDT and the rest jump up & down insisting on synthroid only…that hasn’t helped for decades…last specialist put me BACK on the steroids to ‘wean’ me off…so I didn’t go into a coma from stopping them (which I did 5 months before that) would NOT listen to the fact that I’d been OFF them for
And alot of times our doctors hands are tied to only what they are allowed to do do to insurance.
No your good
Ewww
For months…lung dr said NO..to stop steroids for adrenals…see the frustration in this dilemma …smh
Thanks for answering my question about the cystic teratoma and hashimoto’s
Ginger tea?
It gets bad, like clockwork, every Thursday or Friday. Why?
I had a large Parathyroid removed plus a portion of my thyroid last year. I have lost a lot of hair, major pain in lower back to the point I can’t walk for very long. Also having major eye issues in vision. My blood pressure runs very high and no medication helps. I am on no medication.
Lab normal but not for me cortisol dropped to 6.5 because dress on keeping sugars up
What can cause victim D low anemia and low ferritin ?
He has me take t3 before test usually 3 hours after reverse t3 went back up to 20
On hydrocortisone really worried about being on it tried adaptogens but dropped blood sugar
On zinc low compared to copper
Dr had me on 10,000 day of D3
My dr saud take 2,000 d3 a day only no vit k with it.Also whats als and alt they are high on lab work
Is bruising easy a side effect of hashi or is it anemia that causes it? I been diagnosed in past as anemia low ferritin and low D not sure why I always been easy to bruise
Had 5 respiratory infections in 8 months
On selenium went toxic don’t take any
I found drinking chicken bullion with beets juice three times week helps my digestive system,
hey, I have hashimotos and am on desiccated thyroid meds, but my recent blood test says my TSH is still too high, my t4 is low-normal, and my T3 is too high (above range). Cant figure out what this means :S
I thought iodine was used to kill the thyroid years ago?
What would cause high blood pressure? Out of the blue I now have this and doctors say it’s hereditary. I’m 32, very healthy. vegetarian, gluten free, soy free and corn free. My thyroid labs are optimal at the moment.
I only take 75 mg tirosint . I’m hypo and hashimotos. Doctor won’t do additional test. Take selenium to get my TPO antibodies down, but doctor won’t recheck antibodies bc she says no reason bc I’m on thyroid medicine. I’m deficient in vitamin D. I’m on here to try and help myself but mainly help my daughters . One daughter has hashimotos, the other two have some symptoms. Just need to know where to start with all the testing. I m funny about medicine. So I won’t take anything unless I’m deficient
Look at my previous text
Thank you so much for your time and information! It is deeply appreciated.

Laura Jane Lockhart Leathers interesting…..
I had a large Parathyroid removed plus a portion of my thyroid last year. I am 64 and have always had great health. I did have a hysterectomy about 25 years ago and my gall bladder removed 4 years ago. I am gaining major weight. Having some memory issues but nothing like before the Parathyroid/Thyroid Surgery. I have lost a lot of hair, major pain in lower back to the point I can’t walk or stand for very long. Also in last 2 months my hands are numb and i can hardly bend my fingers. I am cold all the time. Also having major eye issues in vision. My blood pressure runs very high and no medication helps. I am on no medications as the side effects of the HB med was terrible.
Due to Parathyroid removal I do have to take high dosage of calcium, plus Vit D and Magnesium along with my liquid multivitamins.
I am going for my yearly physical next week which includes blood work. Please advise if any additional bloodwork I need to include in addition to the regular drawing.
I want to quit hurting and be able to go places with my family, but because I can’t walk very far I stay home. I appreciate any suggestions you can give me.
I’m taking vitamins to help myself. Iron for anemia, D, C and calcium, magnesium and zinc. I also take fish oil and probiotics. I went off synthroid three years ago because of lack having medical. Some days I feel ok and some days I don’t. No stamina and fatigue some days.
Am i taking to much
VItamin B Complex w C,
Magnesium 500mg,
Zinc, Biotin, D3, Vitamin A Garcinia Cambioa
Is this to much
Hypothyroidism past 25 years. Scan showed thyroid completely atrophied. ? Cause. I’m 67 and having sweats and surges.
What causes thyroid to atrophy?
Hi Dr. Shook, catching replay
Yes, and docs don’t get it!
hi from uk
Thanks for caring! Love these videos please keep them coming;)
Is sweating also a symptom of low blood sugar…I wake in the night sweating around my neck and chest area…my doctors have checked to see if I am beginning menopause but so far have been told no.
I appreciate your comments about patients being adversarial…and its affect on the doctor/patient relationship.
I had a nodule on my thyroid that was found by ultrasound…a friend encouraged me to add a bit of iodized salt to foods I already eat…i figured there was nothing to lose…when I returned for my check up 6 month later..
The nodule was gone.
I was slim a week ago and now I’ve gained a bit of weight when I’ve been eating healthy and walking miles.how.
I developed hypothyroidism right after having a baby
Precis som Elisabeth Söderström berättade det.
