Vitamin B-12 and Selenium works for me lowered the need to take levothyroxine yay. Multiple vitamin too and vitamin D. Lowers the TPO antibodies for me. 😅

I only recently convinced my doctor to test for antibodies. I have both TPO and TgAb antibodies, so my longstanding hypothyroidism is Hashimoto. I'm already eating keto, relatively free of gluten, soy, corn and seed oils, so this month I'm avoiding all dairy to see if that's my trigger. I love dairy and would hate to give it up. But I'm eager to see what happens to both antibodies and TSH.

Hi Ken, that sounds great that you were able to get that additional testing done! Hopefully having that extra information will make your strategies a bit more targeted for what your body needs. It sounds like you're already making some excellent choices, but I do think it'd be worth your time to experiment with dairy. Not everyone with Hashimoto's has a problem with it, but enough people do that it's a good idea to test it out. Good luck with everything and reach out if you have any questions!

😮 Also give up GMOs, caffiene, and all other adrenal and hornonal disruptors in non organic foods like pesticide residue, and perfumes and other common products - even essential oils have been processed into no longer being in a natural state so can cause inflammation in those of us who are sensitive.. The skin is the biggest breathing organ on the body. The skin cannot absorb necessary oxygen if the air is saturated with chemical and non natural microscopic particles.

If anyone is interested, my month of avoiding dairy had no effect. Dairy is not a trigger for me.

WOW! This was a REAL GOOD ONE! I have questions! Do you ever look into genes and how much impact do they have on inflammation and our thyroid? I did 23&Me and downloaded the raw data then brought it into genetic genie (free). I found out I have the MTHFR, COMPT, and Estrogen Resistance genes among others. It’s scary because you aren’t really sure what to do with that information. What do you recommend we write in our logs and how often? I know logging what we eat and how we feel is important, but my daily routine is crazy as it is. How can we fit all this in and still have a life? If I get up at 7:30am, my routine (lemon water, exercise, smoothie, dress, light therapy on thyroid and hair, walk with the dog, read health material, watch Dr. Bodle 😇… it’s about noon by the time I’m ready to do something out of the routine and by then I’m ready for lunch! Ha ha I don’t know if I’m the only one doing such a crazy routine, but it sure feels like it. That’s another thing I wonder about. I go on Facebook to try and get information but often find I’m helping others instead of getting the info I’m looking for. there are SO MANY people struggling and so sad. How do you do what you do and not scream at other doctors to wake up? I’m not feeling perfect, but I’ve come a long way. I see many more on my groups that are suffering without a clue. It’s so sad and I often have to stop reading because it get depressing. :( Could sugar actually help you? Is it really as bad as everyone is saying it is? I’m noticing sugar (fruit) is helping me. I think it helped bring my cholesterol levels to a better place. It could be doing dairy free. I did both at the same time (went keto to AIP paleo). I think you can do a whole month on inflammation alone and I’d love to hear more on viruses and how they can have a huge impact. Such a wonderful vid! Great information as usual!!! Thanks Dr. Bodle!!!!

Can issues with T4 to T3 conversion be a result of a keto or carnivore diet in some people resulting in low T3 symptoms? Or do these diets reduce the bodies need for T3 so you'd see TSH and T4 in normal ranges but T3 and fT3 would be low and rT3 would be high? Or is there more to the story?

Hello Dr Brad Bodle, Excellent presentation had to run it twice to fully grasp what your saying. Can you recommend for me your best book for people like me to understand fully the concept of Hashimoto Disease like the books in your library. This presentation was more complete than the others and happy to read those books you have there. Thankyou for the info in advance.

Hi Dennis, thanks for watching and I hope things were more clear the second time :) If there is anything you're a little unsure about, please let me know and I'll do my best to explain it in a different way. In regards to the books behind me, these actually aren't health books, most of them are casual reading and travel books. If you are looking for more information though, a number of my patients over the years have like Dr. Datis Kharrazian's book "Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms When My Lab Tests Are Normal." Some people think it's a bit more complicated than they'd like, but others have found it very helpful. That'd be a good place to start! :)

My recent Dexa showed I've Osteopenia which I think is the long term side effect of taking levothyroxine sodium. Since taking that drug I stopped menstruating, developed bilateral frozen shoulders, joint pains. I voluntarily stopped that drug momentarily til I observe that my joint pain subsides. For now my Dr advised me anti resorptive therapy for my Osteopenia. Taking levothyroxine sodium to treat something but also to destroy my bone health.😐

Hi Atlantica, thanks for sharing this with everyone! I've said before that even if a medication makes sense for a situation, if it doesn't fit with your body for whatever reason, then we should probably look at other options. I might consider talking to your doctor about other T4 medications and seeing if you can find something that doesn't cause you so many side effects. I hope everything goes well for you going forward! Let me know if there's anything else I can help with.

I have a question. My endocrinologist referral was rejected based on levothyroxine is the appropriate treatment. One GP told me to accept things as they are and luve according to my body. The other GP says wait 3-4 more months (been normal tsh since end of October) and my metabolism will catch up and I will feel better. Is there any truth in this idea of my metabolism catching up and feeling less fatigue? I kind of think no, this is as far as levothyroxine is going for me.

Hi Joanie, it shouldn't be affecting your medication, but once you absorb the T4, it's possible that it could decrease the efficiency of the conversion into T3. Not everyone is going to have this response, but we should be aware of it. If you're continuing to have symptoms and your T3 levels are on the lower end, then always want to consider all options to try and help you feel your best!

Does the inflammation stem from low thyroid? I’ve had inflammation that I’ve been battling but I also have low thyroid. I’m just starting to address the low thyroid.

Hi Susan, yes, when hormones are too high or too low, it can be inflammatory to the body. Like most things, we need to have a balance to function at our best. It sounds like shifting your approach here could be helpful and might possibly support better health overall. Thanks for asking Susan!

Hi Megan, thanks for sharing! Like I said in the video, I have seen people have success with that type of strategy, but it just wasn't something that I saw being regularly effective. I hope it goes well for you though! Track how you feel after adding the supplement and see if it's supportive. Let me know how things go!

😮 I have recently been diagnosed as having some rare type of autoimmune disorder that can cause Hashimoto Hypo or Hyper thyroidism. I have suffered for 40 years trying to vet my doctors to take my complaints seriously over the years until I was finally recently referred to a hematologist because my symptoms are now sending me to the ER regularly. Now we are in the process of trying to pinpoint the type of autoimmune disorder so that the doctor can decide the best treatment. I suggest if you have symptoms other than just thyroid get your doctor to refer you to an endocrinologist, or hematologist specialist and have your history of records from the beginning if your symptoms that caused you to go to a doctor if available when you go the the specialist. They will take the necessary blood tests depending on your symptoms, but specify you want to be tested for any auto immune disorders.

Dr. Bodle, is it true that vitamin C reduces hyperthyroid activity? I heard that from an osteopath.
@DrBradBodle
7 ай бұрын
Hi Dennis, vitamin C is an antioxidant, so it's possible it might help with an autoimmune flare up. However, the limited research that is available on the topic suggests that it may need to be delivered via IV, rather than taken orally. Honestly, it's not something that I've used before, so I don't have a lot of practical experience with this strategy. Not saying your DO was wrong, I just don't know the full answer :)
