Hey Brad you sexy guy lol!!!!
FLUORIDE 😉
What should an adequate ferritin level be?
I like 70.
The Office of Dr. Brad Shook mine is no where near that! How do you increase ferritin without iron pills that have their own side effects?
Hi Dr. Shook! Do you happen to have an available list of medications that convert t4 to Rt3?
No, but I’ll see if I can find something.
What if iron is ok but ferritin is low?
I follow Ferritin and saturation percentage. Serum iron is a very small percentage of total iron. Ferritin is a better reflection of total iron in the body.
So I should take supplements?
What about hyperthyroidism
Hi Dorothy. The immune system targets different tissues that cause hyperthyroidism, but most of these drivers are the same because (Graves’ Disease) also autoimmune. The focus has to be on the driving factors of the autoimmunity.
Optimal ferritin level should be 70. Thank you, Dr. Shook! 🙂
Do you have this in print so I can bring this to my primary care dr?
Sorry, Judy I don;t have it in print, but that’s a great idea!
Can you address issues for those without a Thyroid(thyroidectomy) please
Magnesium deficiency as well?
Very hard to control stress response when you are so tired so your body is operating in fight or flight just to push through the day.
My 12 year old being refused treatment yet her TSH is constantly high, lowest 5!
Why?????? That is crazy, find another doctor!
Say because in children don’t treat until TSH over 10 and T3 T4 normal.TGAB positive also on one test negative on another??
Trying to find another doctor!
While I don’t necessarily agree with the doctor, I’ve heard other doctors say the same thing. I was told that sometimes, a child’s autoimmune may flare-up for whatever reason and then the autoimmunity calms down. It may or may not occur again. So some doctors don’t want to give them meds right away and will take the wait-and-see approach. But as a mother, I would definitely get a second opinion.
Hallee, please get another opinion.
OK thank you Dr Brad.I to have underactive thyroid but getting help for my daughter seems so much harder which is crazy I think as her body is growing still at 12 and she’s suffering very badly.
Any help gratefully received I am live in UK.
Hallee here are 2 links that you can use to help you find a new doctor. I hope that this helps you!

My daughter now 13 was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s when she was 12 as well as ADHD. Her pediatrian only tested her at my request because I have Hashimoto’s and suspected that she had it too based on her symptoms. Pediatrians are not comfortable treating thyroid so they referred her on to an endocrinologist that I already had an experience with and did not like. I found one on my own through Duke Pediatric Endocrinology who has a good reputation. My opinion of her is OK. She tried to tell me that checking her FreeT3 was not necessary because it not a reliable test, but because I knew better she cooperated with me. My daughter’s FreeT3 seems to be OK. Her FreeT4 was over five and her levothyroxine had to be increased. I am not too sure if this was the right thing to do since her ft3 was fine. She is due for blood work in November and has a follow-up appointment.
Oh thank you so much.I will have a look now.
I really hope your daughter treatment is helping her.Its a complex problem isn’t it and when they are young we have to fight to get them help.Thankyou again Jo-Ann Gulotta Inguanta x
Great video….thank you so much!
What water filtration system do you recommend to remove fluoride? I have a Zero water filter, but I don’t think it is capable of removing fluoride.

What test do u recommended for the factors that decrease thyroid fxn
Hi Helen. I use over 30 different test panels. What I recommend is based on what is indicated from the person’s health history. There are a lot of different factors, but most common is thyroid autoimmunity.
My problem is my hair. Falling out and thinning. Thyroid doesn’t function at all on eltroxin
Hi Carline. If you are losing hair then there is another problem. Have you had iron checked? What about Reverse T3? You likely need more testing.
Thanks
Denise Potter Lee interesting info
Jennifer Johnson Fox he’s in Hickory
Thank you!!!
My daughter needs help so bad she had to call 911, 35 years old it keeps going up and down, off the charts at 800
I’m sorry she is having these problems.
She thought she was having a heart attack !! Lasted 4 hours.
How do they test for heavy metals?
I like immune based testing and urine.
I haven’t heard of blood test for heavy metals, do you need hair analysis!
Hi Peterman. I don’t use hair testing, but it can be used to evaluate longer-term exposure. THe problem is you may not detox well so it may not show up in the hair!
Ive lost 3/4 of my hair, recently had a hysterectomy, and cancer removed on both sides of tubes
Thank you! Very helpful
You are welcome Kristen!
And I might need to turn off the news……
Great presentation, so clear all causes and defficiencies with thyroid. So much like all educational explanations of dr. Brad Shook, all they the best I saw. Also think, that thyroid problem always not arrive alone, some more health issues could be as well. For example, thyroid, obessity, hypertension, inflammation, all together. But if to solve root cause, then all simpoms should disappear, I think.
Thanks Ann Ann! Have a great day!
I am confused…if our PCP can’t or won’t run these extra tests, what can we do? How do we know how to investigate the source?
Hi Robin. Unfortunately, most of these tests aren’t covered by insurance, they consider them to not be “medically necessary,” so your doctor will not order them. At this time, the only thing we can do is pay for them ourselves. The good news is that there are a lot of things that people can try without testing to help themselves. Help this helps!
I control my news info. It helps
Me too! Great strategy to reduce stress.
Thank God for you Dr shook.
Thanks Sherri! Have a great day!
I want to know also about the water filter to remove florid
