Hi ththere
Hey

Hi
thyroidprogram.com
The Office of Dr. Brad Shook I am currently on my second month of the transformation program. I do feel better and have lost some weight. I recently came in contact with my nemesis candles. Guess my immune system crosses over my diet issues.
Pam. great job on the Transformation program!
Candles can be a big problem… https://www.huffpost.com/entry/scented-candles-toxic-safer-options_n_7536410
The Office of Dr. Brad Shook Thank you. Not sure what studies the candle industry did, but I am living proof that they have a detrimental affect on my health. Took me years to figure it out. Who knows how much damage they actually caused!
No

Brenda Bourque Hancock I’m going to go with pregnancy (postpartum)being the biggest trigger EVER!
I’ve been told by Pharmicists to stay on Synthroid but my Doctor’s have always had me on Levothyroxine which I have been on for years with altered dosages.
What about the genetic aspect?
Genetics are important, but as of right now, there isn’t much we can do about the genetics except to change the genetic expression by controlling the factors that influence genetic expression… the environment… diet, lifestyle, etc.
I dont have good energy
Im staying on the program. And my friend joined too
Good job Bonnie!

hello
What is the best way to eat when you have hashimotos??
Hi Melanie Anne. This article will give a good perspective and understanding of what dietary changes to consider. https://drbradshook.com/hashimoto-thyroiditis-diet/
Hope this helps!
I know that burning candles and heated scents I the air send me into sinus chaos. Even after the culprit is removed. Could those chemicals be in foods as well? I am diagnosed with low thyroid and high antibodies.
Those chemicals aren’t in foods that I’m aware of.
Could hot flashes in woman be a way the body is trying to rid itself of toxins?
Pam, not typically. Usually, it’s a sign of estrogen surges, stress hormone surges (usually with low blood sugar), or spilling of thyroid hormone from thyroid cells recently destroyed by an immune attack.
Dr Shook I went ER Friday nite I was having diarrhea real bad since May I figured I had Diverticulitis infection which I did when they done the CT scan they also found mass on my Pancreatic, I have go to GI dr for him run down stomach to do a biopsy from the mass to see if it cancer, I also have hashimoto’s I’m on 200 synthroid my thyroid has been up and down for the last year, my sugar read high in May now its staying low, could my hashimoto’s have caused this with my Pancreatic and caused the mass to develop on my Pancreatic please send me some answers
Hi Sharon. I’m sorry you’re going through this. There are potential mechanisms where autoimmunity could expand to the pancreas. Approximately 20% of people that have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes actually have type 1.5 diabetes, which is autoimmunity against the pancreas. There may be a connection in your case. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28724056
They put me on ciprofloxacin and metronidazole for the infection from my Diverticulitis
