I agree Audra! I have learned so much from Dr Shook & his videos!
I wish you were in the UK!
I understand that.
So wait…. Are you a Dr? Or a chiropractor? I’m lost
What is best Synthroid or Armour for Hashimotos? If I’m on Synthroid should I try Armour?
Bonnie i switched to armour i feel so much better
Love your videos.. ! U Are a great teacher! Your videos help us learn auditory and visually which sticks in our mind better..
Thank you Phoebe! I want to consider it
Dr Shook how would you know if you had gut disfunction ??? Hi from Ireland
Have you ever connected with Shawn Bean and his work?
Without the Synthroid medicine, even the next level down in dose I feel awful.
I know! I am so up and down the only stability i have found is with armour
I SO AGREE with you! I almost lost my life in 2002 and you are so right!
Even type1 diabetes?
I need your help. I’m struggling with my health with no answers.
What do you think of the ketogenic diet?
Veggie juice fast….
I have a friend every symptom is thyroid even a goiter , all tests are normal. They keep telling her she is fine and to just lose weight
Just Joined Conversation, but to your question, I would prefer to be coached, i.e. presented with the education and getting on a plan to resolve my health without other intervention, mostly now I am looking for quantifiable TESTING that shows where I’m at and how I’m progressing, I want PROOF all my efforts are making me healthier long term … also my main problem now, I want to go to functional doctor but they cannot order my Synthroid, I want a doctor who can do it all, nutrition, exercise, and needed meds, my MD doesn’t believe in functional path but I still need him bc I need MEDS, BUT I don’t have unlimited funds so I have to pick and choose
So do feel that anyone with thyroid disease or hashimotos always have a specific root cause?
We need teams of docs like you or you could make your own team.
A team to treat people like me.
How do we contact you to set up an appointment to speak with you or to schedule blood work through your office?
We need someone like you in Owensboro Ky. So many with thyroid issues not being treated correctly here.
Everything insurance pays requires a pa
Is soy bad for people with Hashimotos
Yes Maria !! Very
Yes Maria
Maria I have Hashimotos and soy makes me very sick
Soy is not good for any Thyroid disfunction
So Well said, Dr Shook. Everything you addressed will be eye opening for Many!
When I first got diagnosed with hypothyroidism I was in denial that I went to 2 other doctors cause I didn’t want to take medicine forever
I have NO problem taking medicine forever if I need it to stay alive
I am so thankful for our Rheumatologist! She has RA herself & she was the only one who knew about HLA-B27, which along with other stuff finally led to diagnosis. Which helped the mental aspect at least.
If the gut is not right nothing will be right. Diet diet diet!
Thank you all.
I have tried to not take meds and my body breaks down and so does my mental state , it gets really bad
I was Dx with hasimotos , t3 and t4 normal ok to take desiccated thyroid
Armour has worked for me.
This is one of your best live videos ever! Thank you!
I tore a rotator cuff because my levels were so bad I was inflamed so bad in my shoulders , tore it doing almost nothing
What causes vitamin D depletion in people with autoimmune hypothyroidism?

Thank you giving that important soy info.
Glad Im not alone about the soy problem!

Does HRT for menopause interfere with Synthtoid? Ever since menopause I have more problems esp with gaining weight.
Are you familiar with Thyro Gold?
How do you feel about colloidal silver
My tpo numbers went up 413 to 460 (In 6 months) Tsh again changed. Going back on synthroid slightly higher dose. I take estridiol also
Yes lots of anxiety with thyroid dysfunction
It helps a lot! Thank you!
What is your opinion on testing intrinsic factor? I have horrible stomach/digestion issues. Tested deficient many yrs ago. Asked to be re tested recently, Dr said they don’t do that test anymore? I’m trying to improve things on my own by what I’m learning from you. .just curious what your opinion of this test is?
What are the best ways to clear estrogen most efficiently?
UK – fatigue and weight gain – biggest issues 🙁
Thank you so much Dr. Shook for taking time out of your busy days/schedule to do these videos with us! We appreciate it so very much. Often your videos renew my drive to keep moving forward, when at times I just want to throw in the towel. Thank you for the generosity in which you share your knowledge, time, & compassion with all of us!
Hi from London
Coached and treated. Thank you
Your awesome I wish they had doctors like you here in Connecticut.
Hey 🙂 Coached & treated I think. My red and white blood cells have gone high now. Not sure what’s going on with my body.
Yeh correct testing helps you learn I think
My TSH has been about 13 for 4 years & no proper help 🙁
Yep cheated yes totally fed up!
I think unless a person experiences chronic health conditions , hitting brick walls for years/decades… they cannot even begin to understand
BOTH!
Basically, what your saying is you coach people to learn to treat themselves on their thyroid conditions? Then what happens when you take blood? Do you give advise or medicine then? Asking because of my thyroid condition!
Thank you for coaching us.
Do you find that patients have different or worse side effects when taking synthroid versus levothyroxine?
Is there home test to check and see if you are in a state of ketosis?
I have self diagnosed hashimotos. I am up and down and then I normalize and crash out again been going on for years . Im waiting till im done this pregnancy before I start testing to confirm . How long do you recommend I wait after pregnancy to start that, I know hormones are all over during pregnancy so i have stayed the course on meds . But would like to sort out the root and self heal
