[@Yanniboy74]

Many thanks Becky & Keith, love the short and to the point videos.

[@raniaaha6472]

I wish my doctor told me this! We would meet every 6 months and she just asked how consistently I took meds and told me to lose weight

[@nangee2990]

Cod liver oil is a good source of Omega 3, DHA, EPA. It also contains Vit A, D, E. You just need 1 tsp a day.

[@theresadunst-crosby6521]

Iodine has flared me up it was a supplement from a functional medicine doctor. I have to be careful with that. I have Hashimotos. I like the idea of getting iodine from food better for me. Thanks for the food options for all 5. Thanks for the science behind this too! ❤️

[@kr639]

please notice a common theme.... eggs. Really is a perfect food. Along with liver but liver wasn’t mentioned .... should have been

[@jess_hang_out]

You guys help so many people thank you for sharing your knowledge👍💕👍

[@jamiaburcham2196]

I had a lump come up over my thyroid area/collarbone and I thought it might be a goiter. Upon my research I read to find out if it’s a goiter or not, take iodine. If the lump goes down in size, more than likely it’s a goiter. I took extra iodine and it went down, so there you go. Thank you for the wonderful information as well.

[@marg233]

[@tommyg8540]

Thank you! I always find your videos very informative and helpful. I very much enjoy your format too...sitting at the kitchen table discussing these topics over a cup of coffee is great. Stay well.

[@solventurine]

good stuff, just to tell you is so easy to grow curcumin, turmeric, even in a pot, they look beautiful as decoration too

[@gratefulketo2211]

As always, your presentation was very informative and enjoyable! I would have liked a chart that would show how much of each substance is in each of the foods you mention. Also, what our daily requirements are for each substance. I guess I’ll just have to do a little digging!

[@dimpsthealien333]

Thank you! Always love your videos. What about Brazil nuts and selenium? I heard 2 a day supplied you with all you needed. Of course, I can't eat just 2. Ugh. LOL

[@ix-Xafra]

We also need selenium to produce glutathione so I eat too many brazil nuts and take n-acetyl cysteine. Great for the liver and detoxifying

[@Sarah-xv6ci]

Short and to the point as usual. Thank you Dr Becky.

[@mariawelling4194]

Love this couple!

[@watong9232]

There were a few supplements I purchased that were hard to get down.. One was chlorella (algae) which is very similar to seaweed but it's like drinking water out of a fish tank (and I don't mean a clean one either). Another was turmeric . I don't dislike turmeric or curried stews etc. but they aren't my favorite either. A good solution is to purchase a capsule filling device and pack capsules of turmeric yourself. I don't mind curry or that flavor, but now I can have it whenever. I've packed over a dozen different supplements that I no longer have to "hide" the flavor of in something else. That's a big time saver on keto. Of course, it's not as good as fresh wild caught salmon, but it's lots better than nothing!

[@colinglen4505]

i love how proudly Becky looked at keith when he reeled off the names of those 3 acids! : )

[@madcats1231]

If you have Hashimoto's, iodine supplements can be very toxic to you. You should only take them with a doctor's supervision AFTER checking serum iodine levels to see where you really are at. Getting iodine through your foods is what you really want to do.

[@Anno44]

Always helpful, Docs. Love your full explanations. Thanks.

[@getter_done]

Thanks Dr Becky & Dr Keith..... another great video. Hope you & your loved ones are well. 🤗🙋🏻‍♀️🇨🇦

I am not a fish consumer. I take fish oil. I have Hashimotos and also take T3 & T4 as well. I also have the challenge of Type 2 diabetes. I have to say that for the last week since I have gone on a low carb diet ( less than 90 mg) I am starting to not only lose weight but feel better and more awake. Your presentations are informative and to the point. Thank you for sharing.

[@marianalarkin3586]

I would love to take omega-3‘s I was buying a fish oil but the pharmacist told me not to get it because I I have high cholesterol and I also have Hashimoto’s what do you think about that one

[@sandragrowe3554]

Great video. I no long have my thyroid and take medication daily, levothyroxine. By following the information in this video, will it be helpful to me and those of us that had our thyroid gland radiated? Your videos are fantastic.

[@lynnthomas8543]

I am curious to know if you take supplements ( besides the turmeric you mentioned) or do you try to get all your essential nutrients from food? I have a good diet but always wonder if I am getting all I need. Thank you

[@jross9787]

Thank you for all of your videos. Am wondering if these nutrients to help thyroid function are also helpful if you've had a thyroidectomy due to graves eye disease? Also wondering if iodine will help me lose weight on Keto, which I've been following since Thanksgiving. Lost 10 pounds quickly and not a pound since. Thank you.

Golden milk: 8 oz whole milk + 1/2 tsp turmeric + 12 grinds from black pepper mill + 1 tsp maple syrup (optional). Heat on stove or nuke it. Shake well in a Mason jar to make it frothy & serve in a mug. Delicious 😋 [Costco sells turmeric cheap].

[@jadedoptimist6364]

I use almond milk with 2 teaspoons of heavy whipping cream. I'm on the keto diet. I mix it with tumeric extract, not powder because of oxalates. I add cinnamon, 5 spice, ginger, chocolate collagen powder. I don't like the pepper flavor in it so I fill empty capsules with pepper to take with it. I put it in my nutrabullet with ice or drink in warm during the cold months. Yummy and healthy!

[@jimivey6462]

What's your opinion on farm bred fish as opposed to pole caught fish I'm concerned about what the fish are fed, the quality & levels of the omega 3's I don't eat red meat or chicken so I do rely on fish as a BIG part of my diet I only ever eat organic, grain & hormone free eggs Really enjoyed your presentation

[@sweetpeace5]

Absolutely eat only WILD CAUGHT fish/primarily salmon & wild shrimp. Most fish is disgusting esp ANYTHING farm raised. Mackerel & wild sardines are also great for you.

[@Roopa678]

What can vegetarian eat?? … those who don’t eat fish or eggs or meat !! Could please make a video on that. TY!

[@ritaharris2372]

Turmeric does tend to upset my stomach, but I can add it to cooking without a problem.

[@frankkalkattawi9876]

During fasting have you heard about snake juice? 2 liter water add Potassium chloride powder 1 teaspoon, Himalayan pink salt half a teaspoon, baking soda 1 teaspoon. Thoughts?? Is this needed daily during fasting?

[@elizabethnel6613]

Found that stops my nausea

[@shiftintohigh5564]

Good intel here!!👍👍😎

[@RobCLynch]

As well as some of the mentioned foods, I'm kinda hoping that using iodised salt twice per day, enables me to get a decent supply of iodine.

[@lowcarbkitchen]

can't tolerate any fish or sea food, but brazil nuts are a good source of selenium. All you need is a couple a day.

[@jamesmoellenhoff4922]

I really enjoy your informative videos. I have a question not related to thyroid however. I've done similar testing as to how different foods effect blood sugar or ketones. Have you tested what effect stevia/monk fruit has on blood sugar levels? I did and stevia spiked my BG. My question- if you experience a BG spike, is there a commensurate spike in Insulin? I'd appreciate a study on that. Thanks and keep up the great videos!

Off topic, what, if any, electrolytes do you recommend? I'm getting horrible leg cramps that wake me up at night. Cramps can last 15-30 seconds.

[@bonitaowens8855]

Me too ,with leg cramps .. Try Hylands tablet for leg cramps Rub on magnesium cream ..& magnesium pills ...Pedilyte juice for potassium...... When in pain ..stand on the foot involving cramp ,walk it out ..also exercise flexing & pointing toes ...to strengthen calves muscles......Natural estrogen helps the ladies !

[@backpackingonline]

The benefit of turmeric is bioavailable with a little black pepper. These are the common names of the ingredients you mentioned. Turmeric stains, a bright yellow stain, so be careful with it. ..thats it. In fact, you may like a supplement capsule for that reason. I have it for food preparation, am careful about it. I learned a few things about cooking with turmeric when I lived in San Francisco. Turmeric should be added to heated oil in the pan, spread it around and heat it gently to a slightly darker color, otherwise it has a raw taste. ..an inexperienced cook is said to have raw turmeric. If it is a fine powder, it does very well for a herbal tea with a few grains of black pepper added for the beneficial effect. It will stain the cup, so the glazing of the cup is important. I wash it immediately of use a double-wall titanium cup I especially like to use to keep my cup of tea warm.

[@JohnBenson]

I downloaded your "10 Foods You Should Be Eating for Optimal Thyroid Function". You included Salmon, but no mention of sardines. Sardines have less mercury and are easier to snack on as you break your fasting.

As usual, it's been a joy to have my coffee sitting at your table with you this morning! Patty Sisk already asked my question... 🤷‍♀️🤔

[@JF-fx2qv]

As always thanks for sharing. Subject matter is endless when schooling the non doctor public. Repeat, repeat, repeat and maybe it'll sink in. Good advice on keeping one's diet / menu simple .. . thank you. I also enjoyed the break down of what's in food(s) that matter for a specific condition and / or overall good health. I feel if people can gain knowledge of food(s) at the chemical level and see that the human body and food(s) are one big chemistry experiment we'd all be better off for it. This chemical balance is to be individually mastered. We need not just seeing food(s) that are eye candy on a store shelf or as a mental feel good magic pill, we'd all be better off for this. Seeing past the fancy labels and pretty colors of food packaging (incld. real foods - veggies, meats etc.) one will be on the way to seeing what is really in that package; in a chemical kind of way. Process food(s) (in a way) are not made to be consumed as much as they are made to be sold. Our ancestors did not see the pretty colors and fancy labels in a hunter / gather world. It just was ... it just was a need over a want ... because the efforts to gain a food source took real work and danger. Let life not be so easy that we overlook what is bad for us. Again thank you both for sharing. So sorry your favorite routine of dining out could not be done due to Covid19. Something to look forward to in the near future ... I hope.

My goal was to lose 20 to 25 pounds. I dread the thought of eating more fatty meals. Any suggestions?

Can you increase protein and eat more often?

Try per day one milk thistle pill along a couple daily enzyme for gallbladder. Both are needed to assist system with healthy fat and absorption.
