[@glennwisse6271]

If Tsh is high, your actual thyroid is most likey low not high. Get a thyroid panel done and see what your thyroid levels are. Using only Tsh level is not enough. Find a doctor that understands this and get better results.

[@crh251]

I agree. I just had a full thyroid panel done. My TSH is not optimal at 4.45 but it doesn’t tell the full story.

[@sheonaghgall5010]

Thank you. Yes I will. Having been diagnoses with Hashimoto’s 2 weeks ago and taking Levothyroxine for 2 weeks. My TSH Being only 4.85 so I have stopped taking it. How long do you think I should wait before having full thyroid panel done do you think.

[@cristinadiaz6608]

My tsh was at a 30 a month ago I retested today . How bad is that? My hair is falling off and I'm really dizzy I did just have a baby though could that be why my tsh is high? I'm also severely anemic

[@crh251]

@@cristinadiaz6608, TSH at 30 is definitely high. Most women feel good when it’s between 1 and 2. Mine is 3.75 so I’m working to get it down. You also had a baby so I would wait to test it again. I lost some hair after having a baby too. Often times thinning hair is either the thyroid or low ferritin. I would probably wait to test your TSH and also your ferritin. Ferritin under 70 can cause hair loss as well. Congratulations on your new baby! Enjoy!

[@cristinadiaz6608]

I have followed a very restrictive diet for Hashimoto’s for these two weeks but the emotion stress this diagnoses has caused me is very damaging. I have a few other late onset autoimmune diseases due to stress. Didn’t really need another 🥰. Thank you so much for you podcast.

Hello Dr.Ruscio , I would like to thank for the valuable information that you posted on KZbin. I took the dosage that you recommended of inositol and selenium and in 3 months my tsh dropped from 9.88 to 6.58. Also I would like to mention that I stopped taking levotyroxine 3 months before I started taking inositol and selenium thinking that if I give up on gluten my tsh would drop naturally but it hasn't happened. After 3 months of waiting my tsh went up to 9.88. I told my husband and he discovered your video while searching for some information to drop my tsh without taking levothyroxine again.I started to take the recommended dosage of inositol and selenium and after 3 months my tsh dropped to 6.58. Thank you so much !

[@ccaselli7]

Can I ask the dosage u took of the inositol...(.I don't know if i need to supplement as I always eat about half cup white beans a day. )

[@yasir1167]

How you lower your TSH level.... Can you describe the whole process

[@kassrripples3659]

Is there a dawn phenomenon with TSH is it higher in the morning compared to afternoon? How would the Dr know if it’s not checked several times through the day/week?

[@copper_lily]

I just saw this vid pop up in my feed. I know it's a year old. I was misdiagnosed in 2003, when my tsh was only a 2.1. My Endo put me on meds. I wish I'd known how to read my labs back then.😔 I've tried to go off meds a few times (once cold-turkey & once weening), but gained a significant amount of weight each time. I no longer see an Endo & now take thyroid glandular on my own, for past few years and have been "okay". Is there a chance I could go off the glandular by supplementing with the selenium & inositol? Also, is it myo-inisitol or just inusitol? What's the difference? Thank you for any help/advice.

[@alwayspete]

I’m going through hypothyroidism. It’s the non-autoimmune type. The highest my TSH has hit is 27. With homeopathy treatment it’s now 5. I intend to go lower. I thought anything > 5 should be treated. So now it’s > 7. As you said 1 study suggested > 7 required life long medicine. Is it good for people with non-autoimmune hypothyroidism to be supplemented with both Selenium & Inositol? Does that help with normalising TSH levels in such people? Or is it just for people with autoimmune thyroiditis? I just take Selenium 200 mcg per day. Is inositol available over the counter? So selenium (83mcg) & Inositol (600 mg) is the right combination? Just confirming. Thanks Doc! Pete :”)

[@michaelhall2614]

Hi Dr. Ruscio and thank you for sharing your professional knowledge. I had my right-side thyroid removed one month ago. I got a blood test done and my THS is 13.700 uIU/mL. Is this normal? Is it too early to freak out? I will start incorporating the nutritional advice today. Thank You

[@kirene5631]

Hello Doctor, this video is a year old but I am hoping you see this. I was put on Levothyroxine in 2016 at 25mcg when my TSH was 6.51 and my T4 was 0.8. My dose was raised in 2018 to 50mcg with a TSH of 13.94 and a T4 of 0.8. Long story short, my TSH has ranged from 4.21 to the high of 13.94 since then and going from high to low back and forth. They stopped testing my T4 and since I didn't know anything about Hypothyroidism I just did what they said. I started taking selenium and zinc and weaned myself off the meds. My recent TSH test was 12 but no T4 was done. I feel fine and other than gaining a few pounds everything else is great. Is these up and down levels normal and was I wrong in stopping the meds?

[@matios6013]

Thanks a lots dr 🙏

[@DrRuscioDC]

Most welcome 😊

[@judycarver7542]

My reading was 39 I have Hashimotos and my free thyroxine is .81

[@MichelleP-rk3ll]

My TSH came back at 15.21, any suggestions for such a high number? I took meds for 40+ years and just got tired of taking them when it didn't change how I felt.

[@libby6494]

TSH is a pituitary hormone. The correct labs to order for thyroid function is Free T3, Free T4, RT3 and antibodies. Normal TSH should between 1-0.3. Anybody who talks about the TSH for thyroid functioning is just showing that they don't know what they're talking about.

[@jennybaker5713]

It would be so nice to be able to check TSH on own at home without having to see a doctor. Is that possible? If diabetes patients can check their blood sugar, what can we do to check our own TSH levels?

[@ANNASPRETTYFLOWERR]

What about the people with low Tsh live thru hellish symptoms then it goes back to normal. Then cycle repeats with harsher symptoms each time. Great way to live. Tried gluten free for 4 years did not help,keto on anti inflammatory diet for 11 months..

[@WarTheory]

Question Dr. Ruscio my one of my thyroid’s is pretty so the Doctors tested me my TSH is perfectly in the middle range my T3 is .1 over normal range and no one can figure out how even my T4 are perfect. We did do a biopsy and it came back clean but I do have a thyroid goiter… is there any way to bring down my T3 that .1?

Does TSH fluctuate hour by hour throughout the day? Does it change in the morning to midday to afternoon to evening ? How many times in the day should I get the blood test to determine what my TSH level is? Are medication decisions made on a one time test for something that varies throughout the day?

[@carolbrooks9161]

I think it must fluctuate because my energy levels are extremely low in the mornings. I can barely get out of bed, but they are much higher by late afternoon and evening.

[@nanditamehrotra1799]

Hi Dr. Ruscio, most functional medicine doctors I have heard, say that 4.5 as the upper limit is too high. According to them people feel their best when TSH is between 1 and 2. What do you think about that? I have high TSH, and the only symptom I really have is slow motility. I could have a bowel movement once in 36-48 hours once or twice a week or so. Otherwise it's once a day. My diet is very healthy (fibre,water etc) Would love to hear your thoughts. Many thanks.

[@DrRuscioDC]

I think this is a major error in the field and is mainly the result of speculation and parroting. As I discuss in the video, this is how a sizeable number of people end up on medication that they don't need.

Upon my last yearly physical my body temp is normal - blood pressure was 108/62 - still have difficult stools but not constipated per say, never had much of an appetite... But this lab test was Low again ( 0.238 ) and he just lowered me to 75 mcg... I am now tired all the time where I wasn't before... Achy while I felt good on the .88 mcg...

My tsh was 7 initially, then went to 10. I tried levothyroxine, but it didn't do anything to make me feel better. I switched to natural desiccated thyroid, which initially helped me feel better, but then normalized and I barely felt better than prior to taking NDT. Now, I'm in Tirosint. I don't feel better and my head feels all spacey like I'm coming off anesthesia. I eat a clean diet with a cheat meal here and there. I'm well-built (former drug-free State and National Champion) 42 year old male. Two endocrinologists said they cannot explain my symptoms because once my tsh was normal, I still didn't feel well. My GP says it's a serotonin imbalance and I need antidepressants to reset the serotonin. Any thoughts? I'm miserable.

Just got “diagnosed” with hypothyroid. TSH is 6.21 but my T3 is in range as well as my T4…although it’s on the very low range of ‘normal.’ Symptoms are hair loss, weight gain, constipation and super dry skin. Dr RX’ed 25mcg of Levo. I also came back anemic (10.5), which I’ve never had! I know that can also lead to issues with thyroid, so I have refused to take the Levo right now and am taking iron everyday, as well as Inositol, Selenium, Zinc, etc. I want to see if the TSH levels out once my iron increases and w/ the other supps I’m taking. It’s been about 3.5 weeks. With all of my symptoms, do you think it’s wise to continue trying this natural approach or should I try the Levo? How long do symptoms take to disappear with natural supplementation ?

If you feel OK, I'd focus on making sure you are eating properly, keto or low carb. Sugar is inflammatory! A woman should only take in 6 teaspoons a day, men 9. Vitamins are important! Something as simple as a Vitamin D deficiency can cause a thyroid issue. My endocrinologist told me if I feel good, it's fine no to take the medication as my numbers were still low, but if I started feeling bad to see about it. I tried the medication, but it wasn't right with me, I did not feel alert ect. So I stopped. I eat low carb and feel great. Be sure to keep checking your levels with your doctor so you can monitor it.

You could experiment with any of foods on each list combined and see what makes you feel the best.

Mine went to 19 in July prompting my endocrinologist to start me on levothyroxine 50mg. From the start to now, my tsh has risen to 42.9. I'm not getting the warm and fuzzies here, that's for sure.

[@DrRuscioDC]

Sorry to hear that! You might find my Thyroid Course helpful: drruscio.com/thyroid-course/

[@laurienordin2076]

so, what are you doing now? i just got a level of 57 for tsh. no different symptoms that i have noticed.

[@rainmaryann1741]

Dr. Please advise ...I would love to get off thyroid medication ...so tired of doing those blood tests and changing from something that was okay now getting different numbers more likely there will be another blood test that would need it to be done.. 4 weeks ago I was taking 125 mg my TSH was at 1.59 and FREE T4 was at 1.3 My new doctor thought I need to have increase and be 137 mg And today I had my test back and TSH is showing 9.22 and FREE T4 is 1.0 What is going on What does that mean? Is it good is it bad? Blood pressure runs beteeen numbers 110/80 and 114/80 But the thyroid situation is just one bumpy ride... I am shocked that we still don't have a cure there should be a medication to help not to keep people locked forever on medication we build massive destruction weapons build with precision focusing on target but there is no cure for thyroid .. that is just beyond me You know just to keep people on medications for rest of their lives And there are others that saying there is a cure for everything but this is a business and we support that business ....sorry that is my anger me speeking laud ..thank u

Go to love a dr who doesn’t specify what units they are talking about. TSH 5 means nothing. 5 what?

[@AM-fs3vm]

I was diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism, recently my TSH came 6.5 my T3 and 4 within normal ranges. Also the found a small adenoma in my pituitary gland that is causing high levels of prolactine but is being treated with medication that will last at least 2 years as my endrocrinolyst said 😰😰😰. Also he said I have to be whole life medicated with Levothyroxine of 75ml. 😢😢😢 I don't want to be on this medication lifelong 😭😭😭 I'm vegetarian and try to include lots of fruits and vegetables except goitrogens. Would like to know what are you thoughts Dr. Michael? Thanks in advance! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

My TSH result: Your Value: 4.030 u[iU]/mL Standard value: 0.358 - 3.740 u[iU]/mL They want to put me on meds. But I do not feel a peace about taking meds for this. Is my TSH of 4.03 too high and should I be on meds for this level?

[@DrRuscioDC]

I would recommend you get a second opinion if you feel unsure in your gut about the options offered. If you like, you can also explore my Thyroid Self-Management Program: drruscio.com/thyroid-course/ in case that is of some help.

[@learningstudio2640]

[@celiaescalante]

Will this selenium and inositol also help lower a1c (blood glucose)? What effect will they have on weight or abdomenal mass? How often every 24 hours should a woman that still has menstruation take each of these supplements?
