I purchased your book can you mail it to me? I’m not much for reading online lol i like to have a hard back or paper copy in hand
I think you need to print it out. He said one day last week that they are just online, but you can print it. Guidebook right?
Renee Ryle thank you! I missed the printing out part didn’t know this was an option lol thank you
Anna, we don’t have it in a hard copy format, but I would recommend printing it, then going back to the online PDF to watch the videos and learn more about specific topics. THere are a lot of links to other resources, and the PDF/online version makes it much easier to access them. Hope it helps you!
Anna Danielle Nutter you’re welcome. I happened to hear him say it one day. No worries at all.
Why don’t Endocrinologists focus on the autoimmune issue?
I feel like I’m drinking enough water but my skin looks dehydrated. I have had hashimoto
Thank you for all your information. I feel more empowered.
So if we can find the underlying cause, we could eliminate the thyroid medicine altogether
I remember my old gastroenterologist who has since retired always asked if you went out of the USA.
I had a doctor tell me that since I had a full thyroidectomy that I no longer had hashimoto’s!!
Hey Sheila. The autoimmune process is still present, but the target tissue is now gone. In over 50% of cases of autoimmunity, you will see expansion to other tissues, so trying to address drivers of the immune response is still very important even if the thyroid has been removed. I hope this helps.
Do you have a list of bacteria to test for somewhere?
Will these parasites be seen during a colonoscopy?
My experience has been
“No. We don’t test for T3”
I appreciate your approach.
I know… they can’t order it becasue it will not change their treatment plan, so they don’t have a tool to help you with it, and if it doesn’t change the treatment plan then it’s not “medically necessary” according to the insurance contract they signed. It will change, but it will take time.
I am a nurse in an ON/GYN office for 25 years. We always order T3, T4, TSH and Thyroid antibodies. Why would they not do a full thyroid panel ???
They always check mine too!
I felt great for 30 years until mold toxicity that’s me! I have the gene I’ve been fighting this for 4 years I feel really sick from mold exposure people don’t realize how it affects and mess up whole endocrine system I need to come see you
HI Bridget! Thank you for sharing your experience with mold, I’ve found it to be one of the biggest challenges. I hope you are making a good recovery. Warm regards.
Thank you soooo much for all this info!!!
Hi Amy. You are welcome. Hope this helps you.
Where can I find the guide book to put in my totals from a CBC panel? I have looked but am only seeing the 9 thyroid tests one, is that the same thing? Thanks
Is Hughes Disease an autoimmune disorder?
Never get tired of your ‘rambling’, to me it’s not rambling. It’s gold. Thank you.
Can’t wait!
Thank you for sharing your history and understanding situations of others.
when will you start this challenge so i don’t miss it?
Sounds amazing
I do try to make it to bed 10-10:30pm and up at 6:30am and that does make a difference for sure have to get sleep to heal for one.
A good sleep cycle is one of the best tools you can use to help heal the body.
I’m not optimal even though levels are there
Makes perfect sense!
I can’t sleep bc of adrenals low cortisol low blood sugars I’m exhausted
Interesting. I have hoshimotos and I am a RN. Going to look into it
Kinda like teachers.
Sleep well. Thank you. You rock!!

My daughter is hypo, hashi and herpes. She is on Levothyroxine.
The Dr said tsh is in the sweet spot. Not to change anything.
She like the lady you are talking about.
Fatigue, and severe hair loss.
She works but the other times she is in bed.
How does she get to work with you?
I finally got my Endo Dr. to admit that they just don’t know much about the Thyroid… so they treat accordingly…
You are passionate about you are doing! That’s the difference…. In your practice it’s not about quota of patients to off set low insurance reimbursement…. It’s about finding the root causes…..
So very true!
Dr. Shook, I have been in doxycycline 1 QD for years prophylactically for my skin and odd sebaceous cysts they pop up and can be painful. I can only imagine what this is doing to my gut!?
Hello Dr. Shook!!!

I have puscular sclerosis since I was 20 now I am 66 yrs old. I had to have my right lobe of my thyroid removed as well as the itsimiss. A year or so I was hospitalized with heart problems. After all tests were done n my heart was diagnosed okay. I was sent home after 3 days still sick as I went in. I went back to Dr and he ordered a ultra sound of my gall bladder which appeared normal. They did a blood test that showed I had H Philri. That was treated n I felt so much better.
What is the difference between H Pylori n E Coli?
Hello
This happened to me! I had fasciolopsi buski and they just kept eating my thyroid meds. I was on a crazy high amount of meds. I finally did a natural parasite cleanse and produced the worms “Fluke” for the dr to test. It was only through my own research including watching ur videos that I was able to stop listening to the dr who told me I was crazy to think something was seriously wrong beyond my thyroid.
Interesting about the GI connection. I will continue to listen.
We need this information…traditional medicine comes up short. You help us help ourselves! So grateful for your knowledge and insight!!!
Thank you for sharing
Vicki Roberts

Vicki Roberts I thought this was pretty interesting!!
Yes! Thks! Donna…think of all those Mexico trips we were on!?….I heard someone say some missionaries take some pill to get rid of those nasty critters!…I like this guy..ready to check myself in somewhere!….
Thks! for sending me this!…
Dr Shook, I’ve had Hashimotos for 9 years and my TSH goes from 0.72 to 4.0 or higher, but my Doctor’s can’t get any stabilization. I’ve gone from Levothyroxine to Synthroid to try and change things but the bounce is still there. I have many of the same symptoms your case study shows. It’s so frustrating to feel ok for a short time then it’s back to the same. I have little energy, no upbeat feelings, etc, etc, etc. I listened to your talk and saw myself. Thanks for your input. Maybe I can take some of your insight to my Endocrinologist.
Thank you kindly for sharing your knowledge with us
Holy cow! Parasites?
Wish you were in the tri state area 🙁
My lyme treatment I had to pay out of pocket. Systemic candida, babasesia and bartonella in addition to lyme and hashimoto’s. Was a prisoner in my own body and it was falling apart. Drs keep referring me to psychiatrist as if crazy meds would make pain and symptoms go away. Finally until I educated myself and found lyme Literate dr and paid out of pocket
Now need to get my thyroid squared away because I’m in menopause.
