And How to do all that when doctors don’t help
Is it true once you get graves you alway have it even if you had RAI?
You will always be autoimmune, but once the thyroid is gone you may not have higih levels of antibodies becasue the target tissue has been removed.
I really want to know if there’s a relationship with EBV and Hoshimoto’s?
The research suggests it is one of many possible triggers.
Hashimoto and iodine?
I’m not a fan unless deficient. If needed it need to be taken with selenium and zinc.
I wish you videos had caption. My sister is deaf and would benefit from watching you.
I’m sorry. We have them on some of the videos. I think Facebook is starting to add them automatically. We’ll look into it and see if we can get them autogenerated.
That would be amazing thank you.
Good morning Brad
Love your passion for this
I’m screwed….. I have graves, hypothyroidism (10years) RMSF and Ankylosing Spondylitis. 6 months in!
HI Rikki! Don’t lose hope, the body is amazing.
I may be able to help you support these problems. There are a lot of things you can do that you may not have tried.
Thank you for the biotin input on your live a while back. I stopped it for a week and my thyroid levels dropped to low. After MONTHS of being told it’s “normal” retesting again today though
You’re welcome Michele!
Suggestions for weight loss for a person who has had a thyroidectomy!!
Hi LaShawnna. This is a complex question that is unique to your specific biochemistry that is limiting your metabolism and weight loss.
I would have to know a lot more about your case to give you direction.
I would be happy to take a look at your case and see if I think I can help.
The best way to do this is to start with a Strategy Session (20-minute appointment) rather than a full appointment unless you know for sure you want me to do a full review of your case.
You can learn about Strategy Sessions here: hashimotosdoctor.com/ss
You can learn about distance consulting with me here: https://bit.ly/2qIVaeN
Let me know if you have any questions.
Your live streams help! Thanks
You are welcome!

Goodmorning,thank you
Hi! You are welcome!
Any suggestions to ask a doctor about certain supplements
Unfortunately, most doctors don’t know about supplementation. I will tell you that more is not better. I recommend that you only take supplements focused on changing specific body chemistry that needs to be supported in your unique situation.
Typical supplementation that are needed include:
1) A good multivitamin (Designs for Health Complete Multi)
2) High EPA Fish Oil (shoot for at least 1250mg EPA per day)
3) Liquid VItamin D (typical need 5 to 10k per day)
awesome!!!
can you tell me if the far infrared sauna is bad for rosacea? I paid for 2 sauna sessions and have done 1 so far. That day my face was bumpy and red but fine after. I want to detox but don’t want to make my rosacea worse.
I know a lot of people with rosacea that use the sauna, and none have reported that it has made it worse after they cool down. I would observe it and see if it gets worse. Wish I could give you a more definitive answer.
Thank you , I will continue and just watch because I did like the experience!
I was diagnosed with Graves, but I feel I’m more of hypothyroid now related to
Yes, this happens a lot, especially if you are on antithyroid meds or have had a thyroidectomy.
The focus has to be on looking at the physiology and trying to determine what is breaking down, it could be a lot of different things and my not even be thyroid related.
Symptoms, would like to have you look at my situation , can you help ?

I can’t handle that heat.
I have Graves disease and thyroid removed.
My doctors think Im imagining all my stmptoms
Leslye Overbey Lane Brown I was told that for years I was just a nervous woman very de moralizing and defeating but, continue to search for answers you know your own body
I had RAI 2 x didn’t work so thyroid was removed. I have Graves disease fatty liver high Chollesteral high blood pressure Pre diabetic. Doctors are not helping me.
Very interesting information
I feel like Im dying.
I wish I could afford you as my doctor. Sounds like you really understand it.
Endo s are the worse in understanding.
Then why don’t they say that instead of making you feel crazy.
So Im poor because I can’t work due to my illnesses so Im screwed. Diet is the only thing I have the means to do however still not getting well only worse.
Would you mind sharing what diet your trying out?
The Office of Dr. Brad Shook I’ve cut out gluten, sugar and next us dairy.
Leslye, I sent a message to your inbox.
The Office of Dr. Brad Shook Thank you…
Yes so true
I wish I could this. God bless you
What foods should I avoid?
Thankyou for your passion and help.
Appreciate your understanding of thyroid conditions, treatment and conventional medicine’s strengths and drawbacks dealing with a chronic condition. I’ve been willing to change my diet my whole life. It’s probably why my basic markers are not high enough to garner more interest by my Healthcare Provider.
It’s been a lot of years that I’ve had this collection of symptoms. Possibly decades.
And, I have a partner also with significant health challenges. We’re mainly managing by using diet. And, it can get expensive. We’re tapped out!
We’re taken a lot of steps just to figure out what’s been going on.
Good to know about your Strategy Session. We’re highly motivated. Just worn out. Some of these chronic conditions have high correlation to family and relationship abuse dynamics. So, there can be a lot that people are dealing with. Not just motivation. It’s an epidemic for a reason.
Maybe in the future, you could consider partnering with others who are pioneering developments to address underlying causes in dynamics Contributing to the Autoimmune Epidemic. I know of one person you may have quite a bit in common with.
Thank you for sharing your story Deb. Hang in there, you can do it. Feel free to message the information to our inbox. Hope you have a good night.
Is fibromyalgia connected to having thyroid removed
Almost every case of fibromyalgia I have worked with had a connection to thyroid function. If you haven’t seen this, watch this vidoe and it will explain the possiblities: https://www.facebook.com/drbradshook/videos/1723205491251866/
Can u list what you would include on a “very expanded blood panel?”
https://www.facebook.com/drbradshook/videos/2007578196147926/
Graves here. Very severe
Will probiotics help me
My thyroid was huge with my graves
Why won’t Drs give medicines like biologics for my auto immune disease
This is why I am overwhelmed with the diet end of things. Everything changes with me. I take vitamin D 2000IU
That is why I keep my thyroid. Better it than something else I guess.
Thank you for this video
Can you please spell the diet you mentioned?
Thanks for this video. Love your knowledge
Can hashimotos be reversed ?
Is it safe to get the flu shot with Hashimoto’s?
What about taking plexus
Can I still have Graves’ disease if I do not have a thyroid
