How do you know what diet to do?
It was a question!
I have an appoint to get a scan on mine next week. Primary dr said it is inflamed.
The lab work should something too. I forgot.
So if you’re taking an an immune suppressant like Humera (sp?) would /could that affect the antibodies test results for Hashimoto’s & Graves?
Yes, suppression.
Is that a good thing Dr. Shook??
sooo glad you put these on for us! very much appreciated
I was thinking the same Brandie..
Hi again, from London. I don’t know where I’d get these tests done. Certainly not at my local doctor.
We may be able to help you. If you’re interested just message my office through the messenger app on Facebook and my staff will get back to you on Monday. Hope this helps.
such great information! thank you!!
Is here
Biba smart nutrition google them they test through Genova labs
Some tests can be done 3 Genova but many of the test that I mentioned here are not available through them.
Where do genetics come into play? I’m 3rd generation out of 4th with AS. Also same family members have either diagnosed Hashi’s or Graves. My daughter & I have countless symptoms of thyroid disfunction along with diagnosed AS, but not diagnosed with auto immune thyroid issue, even with strong family history & diagnosis & symptoms. Also taking Humera (sp?) for AS, would that affect any/all marker results for thyroid if we can ever get the full testing done?
Yes genetics are one of three things required for you to develop an autoimmune condition. The interesting thing is that genetic expression is controlled by your environment so if you can change your environment you can change your genetic expression that’s how able to help improve autoimmune activity.
Great info
What doctor will help me with my autoimmune testing? I feel like my GP doesn’t have the best knowledge.
Probably not, but you don’t know unless you ask.
Dr Shook can order these tests for you
I want to have these tests done. How do I go about this testing? You
Hi Mindy, there are other doctors that can order the test but yes we do order them routinely for the people that I work with a distance Consulting clients or in office patients. If you want some more information I would like to talk to someone my office please just give us a call on Monday or you can send us a question through Facebook Messenger app and my staff will get back to you. Hope this helps you have a nice day.
Thank you for emphasizing the importance of family support. Some of us have families who don’t understand. Support groups have helped me so much!
Eat Clean
Than you for answering the questions I posted during the live stream I’m going to go back & re watch the video about auto immune triggers. You are always so helpful, thank you! Hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend.
I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism about two years ago. It was so bad that my whole body would shake out of no where. Made my blood pressure sky rocket. Long story short I took the med for the thyroid and blood pressure after 6 months of taking the blood pressure medicine my pressure was back to norm, so I stopped taking it and didn’t tell my doctor. A year my thyroids got back to normal so I stopped taking that as well. Eventually I told my doctor that I stopped and when. He then told me to take the thyroid med every other day. My fear is if I have hypothyroidism (which no longer shows up) if I continue to take the hyper medicine wouldn’t it bring forth hypo? Now I get the numb lips and I haven’t been taking any meds. I don’t have this in my family that I know of. What should I do?

On the antibodies how can you tell if you are autoimmune?
What blood test is done to see and see if you have Hashimoto?? My doctor has done several blood test on my thyroid but just curious to see if she never request that one be on on me.
