[@sheilajac]

From what i understand AND have experienced, the discovery of the TSH and ability to measure it, has caused doctors to stop diagnosing by symptoms. I had ALL of the symptoms of hypo and it was bad. My eyebrows shrank to 1/2 their length, my colon was "absolutely packed with faeces" according to an xray my dr did, I was COLD my heart rate was sluggish. And as you said, he did a tsh and said it was in the normal range...I think at the time it was around 3. Fortunately I had done my research and asked for a thyroid antibody test and it was "low positive" and he still insisted my tsh was normal. I said no, please prescribe synthroid because I am NOT normal. I was shortly up to 88 mcg and finally felt normal again. That was easily 7 years ago, in the last couple of years I've been adding a drop of iodine to my daily selenium supplement. Hopefully that's not bad.

[@pointshealthcoaching8474]

Iodine supplementation requires TSH to rise to make sodium symporter needed to move iodine into cell..... so TSH not good marker. Also cortisol is naturally higher in AM and it could interfere with T4 to T3 conversion... I finally figured this out after 2 years! Now I take T3 only in AM, then take NP THYROID (T4 +T3) in afternoon.... finally, it seems to work. Plus I put lugol's in my water.... just enough

[@TeeJay_757]

I'm a male who was diagnosed with Graves disease in my mid-30s. No matter the dosage of methimazole my T3 and T4 hormones were off the charts and wouldn't come down. I developed severe psoriasis and I felt like I was having a heart attack every time I did anything that required exertion. Then my endocrinologist changed my diet and asked me to avoid carbs and replace the calories with organic meat and veggies. I did as she asked and within a few weeks I felt like a different person. Within a few months I was completely off medications.

I complained to my doctor (internist) about feeling tired all the time and asked him to check my thyroid and all he did was get the lab to check my TSH, which was normal. Later, I decided to go to a wellness clinic, where they did a full thyroid panel and discovered that my reverse T3 was high. Ask your doctor to do a full thyroid panel.

[@robertp7209]

You need the specialist, endocrine doctor. Family doctors know little to nothing about it, but try to keep you to get the co pay, they many times avoid sending you to specialists which can be dangerous or worse at times, then your on,y recourse when getting worse ends up in a hospital. And get second opinions, different endocrine doctors treat differently, and much depends how you feel, if you feel ok they do nothing, rightfully so. But loosing or gaining weight, mood and sleep changes, and the like, have to be addressed. Not waited on.

[@JorgeBrown]

@@littlebear7440- I have researched extensively and long. Dr Ekberg is one of the best in the world for his deep understanding about the relationship between food and health. The majority of doctors will "treat" you with allopathic medicine, which in sum, is the oil medicine introduced my Rockefeller at the beginning of the xx century. I've already cured myself from adenocarcinoma stage by quitting chemo, cutting sugar, increasing fiber and promoting gut bioma + supplements, because our food lacks os proper nutrients. Work on your peace of mind. Negative emotions are the open door for diseases. I've been diagnosed with multi nodular non-toxic thyroid. Brazilian doctors are not different from other good doctors around the world. The problem come from their training in treating symptoms instead finding the real cause of the symptoms. There is much more to say about it but I think I've said the basic approach I take. Thank you very much for your kind reply! Take care and be happy 💜🙏

My GP tells me that they have to follow the NHS guidelines, so diet advice. These kind of videos and some books have helped me to get my levothyroxin prescription down from 175mcg to 100mcg in 2019. Now again trying to get it down gradually until remission, hopefully within 12 months. My tsh readings have been going down in the last 9 months. In UK, tsh has to be less than 0.21. Last time it was 0.91, before that 2.25 and higher before than. So it is very slow process even with a right diet and the right supplements. I shall know within 2 weeks if there is a reduction in my levothyroxin prescription.

Sorry to hear that. Sadly, it seems that doctor's don't want to tell people the negative effects of medication and procedures. If they did, a lot of people probably wouldn't take the medication or have the procedure done and then they (and the hospital and the pharmaceutical companies) wouldn't make as much money. My dentist told me once that I want to make sure to try to keep all of my original teeth....that it's never the same without them. The same is probably true for all internal organs. It's too bad we aren't taught (or at the very least doctors) more about nutrition and the important roll everything plays and how our internal system works together. Dr. Ekberg recommends for people to find a professional but most professionals don't know much about nutrition and they don't tell you anything until you actually have a problem. I just had bloodwork and I am at 1.3 for TSH and my doctor said absolutely nothing. I had to go in and ask for a copy of my bloodwork and look at everything myself. Our entire system is backwards.

She is now on 1/4 of her original dose.

She said said right away I need to have it burned out -radiation- or removed. Those were the only 2 options. I am terrified to have it removed. Why didn the other Endo say this in looking at the same charts. Also said I should not be on Methimazole more than 18 months. It's been well over 2 years...

[@mamasshrimp422]

Hi! There is definitely a water connection bc if there is a high level of fluoride in the water, which is a hormone disruptor that negatively impacts the thyroid. Fluoride interferes with your bodies ability to properly absorb iodine which is critical for optimal thyroid health and performance. For this reason it is best to drink purified water, install a reverse osmosis filter if using tap water and use glass bottles due to the plastic toxins interfering with thyroid function as well. You may also want to increase your iodine intake to offset the effects of fluoride and flush out excess. Eat iodine rich seafood, like cod and shrimp a few times a week, a few servings of seaweed, eggs and potatoes also contain iodine. Also use a fluoride free toothpaste.

Since early 2019, I have been doing healthy keto and intermittent fasting. I eat OMAD. I am slowly getting off Synthroid. No doctor because they all say this drug you have to take forever. I am down to one pill a day. I have been slowly coming off Synthroid since January. I will take my last one in two weeks. My hair has started to get thicker and I feel better. Maybe it's because I want off this drug that bad. I've done my research. I was misdiagnosed in 2002 AND I never should have been put on Synthroid. Anyway, I'm NOT suggesting that anyone do this but when I set my mind to something, I'm going to do it. I also include Brazil Nuts (Selenium), Sea Kelp, Trace Minerals, Magnesium, LTyrosine, and some others.

Very interesting! Physical activity and diet DO AFFECT your thyroid levels a lot, sometimes more than the hormone replacement dose. But here's my experience and I hope it helps someone. Iodine is used mostly by the thyroid but ALL cells in the body need a little too so even if your thyroid got removed or does not work anymore (like mine), iodine intake is essential. You see, I developed hyperthyroidism at 25yo while in service (I blame experimental drugs during the 1st Gulf War) and got radioactive iodine treatment so I've been hypothyroid since '97. Had the same Synthroid dose of 150mcg for over 20 yrs. Tried other brands but that's the one that works. Not having a thyroid messes with one's body so much. Mood, skin, temp regulation, muscle recovery. I hate it but hey, it is what it is. I have to take it exactly at 6am everyday on empty stomach and not eat anything for 2 hrs after, not even coffee or i'll feel lethargic all day. My lipid levels were all out of whack too because of my thyroid but it was also my diet which was lots of vegs, carbs and not enough protein and fat. I never put lots of weight because I limited my caloric intake and exercise often but, It wasn't until 7 months ago when I switched to %100 carnivore and increased my iodine and electrolyte intake, that my lipid levels improved a lot! (cholesterol in the 400s, HDL in the 60s and triglycerides came way way down below 100 from the 400s), My testosterone levels got to the higher normal range and muscle recovery and temp regulation improved. My TSH went from 7.46 to 2.43 and FreeT4 from .78 to a healthy 1.36 and T3 from 42 to 125, all without Synthroid dose change. I haven't felt this energetic since my 20s! I can speed walk one day 10 miles in 2.5 hrs and not feel at all worned out the next day. I attribute that to the Carnivore diet.

I believe I get my iodine from the beef, and localyl farmed eggs (at least 6 a day) which should have more iodine than regular ones since is very cloise to the coast. Having a no working thyroid, I believe my iodine requirements is lower than somebody that still has a working thyroid. When it comes to electrolytes, I supplement with Redmon Relyte, LMNT or Dr. Bergs Electrolytes, I switch brands often but always unflavored. I believe that Dr. Ekberg also has his brand of electrolyte as well and. I hear is pretty good. Whatever you decide to get, just make sure it has no sugar, of course. When it comes to the diet, I eat all kinds of meats, mostly beef but also occasionally pork, chicken (the fattier parts only,highs or wings) and salmon as well as eggs and some cheeses. Carnivore has only one cardinal rule: Absolutely no carbs/starches/sugars/grains/veg oils at all. Check out Dr. Ken D Berry on YT on beginner videos. Is a really simple diet, actually not a diet since you get to eat as much as you feel, just not carbs. Best of luck.

A couple of points the Medical profession doesn't know about. Goiters rarely occur here in the states, due to halogen poisoning. The Iodine receptor, when filled with other halogens, cause miscommunication (Usually comes across as some sort of body pain). However, it also prevents goiters from being formed. Fibromyalgia is in fact, Bromine poisoning, usually due to drinking acidic (bromine is that tart flavor) drinks like Mountain Dew for decades. As an aside, "almost all" apparent negative reactions to Iodine are in fact caused by a detox reaction. If it's not detox it means you are also deficient in in the other required co-factors needed for regulation of the thyroid. To Your Great Health!

Just came across this video and I'm floored. My thyroid dx started in my teens & I've spent 40 years looking for answers. Pre-pandemic my then Dr - after several lab tests - simply said "well it certainly seems there's something autoimmune going on". That was it. My thyroid peroxidase result was 220 ... and this video shows max 34. My result was TWO HUNDRED TWENTY!! I'm absolutely floored that my Dr blew this off. They closed their doors during the pandemic & I basically gave up but the last several months I've had increased problems, most alarming has been some days my arms and legs become so weak the mere act of a shower and getting dressed takes hours. I have an appt with an endocrinologist but that's months away. Praying I'll finally get my answers and so glad to have this video to continue educating myself on this horrible disease. Thank you Dr. Ekberg, truly glad to be a new sub to your channel!!❤

Good luck to you. I haven’t found an endo that cares enough or listens to do more testing. They always just prescribe meds.

Thank you for this.... the sad state of things in the United States is most General DRs don't even know this... my general doctor tried to tell me that the thyroid is independent of everything... I had to correct him and went into basically the chart you have above showcasing how the Thyroid effects everything as well as needing to have your gut and liver clean as it effects your brain, thyroid, pituitary gland, adrenals, etc.... he was dumfound.

This is such an important topic! Healing the thyroid naturally can be life-changing. Thanks for sharing these insights-looking forward to trying these methods for better health!

[@ericskinner7355]

Your comprehensive knowledge of thyroid function is impressive. I wish I could find a doctor here that approached treatment the way you explain. It's just hit or miss balancing labs with a T4 replacement.😒

[@marianne1959]

Thank you, thank you for this! I have improved every health marker except my thyroid! I reversed type 2 diabetes got off all medications including high blood pressure but my thyroid TSH is still off. Have been on levothyroxine for years with no improvement. This video was one of the clearest on hypothyroid on KZbin. It was clear and understandable and now I know what to go over with my doctor.

[@stefandieter4044]

Hello Maria how are you doing over there?

[@jerrylisby3440]

Don't forget your thyroid needs iodine and selenium.

[@saramadu204]

Filtering your water is super important!

I am one of those guys without a functioning thyroid . Been on Levythyroxine for at least a year now . Recently I have begun the OMAD and 2MAd methods of eating only whole foods and have noticed an improvement in my energy and decrease in body aches that my thyroid meds never gave me .

[@yogaexercise9637]

How can I thank you enough for this information! So very sad to say, but very little good help from local physicians, but with your help I can move ahead with healing. What you do is probably life-saving!! And certainly life-changing!

I have hashimoto and I have never heard or read such an acute , good and clear explanation of thyroid issues. You are exceptional Dr ekberg!

[@nickbardan3867]

What is your TPO level?

[@stuarthutt3740]

You may want to read Dr David Brownsreins book on iodine. Hashimotos can be lack of iodine, selenium, B1, B2.

[@nickbardan3867]

@@stuarthutt3740 All the naturopathic doctors I seen they say iodine is bad for Hashimoto. They recommend selenium supplements.

[@stuarthutt3740]

@@nickbardan3867 yes, selenium is more concentrated in the thyroid than any gland. Selenium acts as a brake on the oxidation of H2O2 and TPO converting iodide to iodine in the thyroid. B1 and B2 can also be deficient. Therefore lack of selenium is a major cause of hashomotos but iodine is a cofactor. If you add selenium to reduce the antibodies that's great but if you don't address low iodine levels which is almost everyone you are not optimizing health. The challenge is there is no good test unless you do 24 50mg load. Another test is fluorescent xray of the thyroid. The thyroid can hold 50mg iodine. If the person is below 5 they are severely deficient.

[@nickbardan3867]

@@stuarthutt3740 my TPO was 49 last year in May. They recommend selenium. After I took selenium supplements for about 2 month, my TPO in April this year was 365. I don't know what to make of it .Did I make it worse because of selenium? Should I try iodine instead ? Nobody knows anything 😔

[@paullilliott7565]

Very valuable - and so refreshing to see a doctor who values people getting well over money! And who addresses causes (the two go together!)...It would seem that lousy water, excesses (or any amount) of lousy grains and massive stress are the root cause of so many health problems. As Joel Salatin says, we have an agricultural system that cares not about health and a health system that cares not about food. One day we will have an accounting system that includes ALL costs!
