Please join me in welcoming Dr. Dimitris Tsoukalas. There’s a chronic condition that’s more prevalent than cardiovascular disease and cancer combined. Autoimmune disease is the most common chronic illness, with over 50 million people suffering from autoimmune conditions in the US.
Autoimmune disease is a condition where the immune system does not recognize certain organs and tissues, so it attacks them. Hashimoto’s is the most common autoimmune disease.
Dr. Tsoukala explains that Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a chronic inflammatory condition in which the immune system attacks and gradually destroys the thyroid gland. This reduces the thyroid's function, leading to hypothyroidism.
Around 26 million people in the United States are suffering from Hashimoto's disease-and 9 out of 10 are women.
One of the first symptoms of Hashimoto’s is low energy. This is because the hormones produced by the thyroid gland regulate metabolism and control the metabolic rate. People with Hashimoto’s also have difficulty regulating body weight because their metabolic rate is slow. Hormonal imbalance and emotional instability are other common symptoms of Hashimoto’s.
All of Dr. Tsoukalas’ patients diagnosed with Hashimoto’s also have vitamin D deficiencies. More than 90% of his Hashimoto’s patients are insulin resistant. Another common problem associated with Hashimoto’s is multiple marginal micronutrient deficiencies. These deficiencies lead to mitochondrial dysfunction.
Dr. Tsoukalas takes a unique and groundbreaking approach with his patients and utilizes metabolomic testing, which tests chemical reactions in the body to help determine any deficiencies.

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism in 2007. Docs put me on meds and I improved, but I hated being told I would have to take the meds for the rest of my life. I started a Keto, gluten free diet 3 years ago, and was able to get rid of the Hashimoto's. Now Im doing high doses of Vit D3 with Vit K2 to get off my meds. I am down to taking my thyroid meds 2x/week now. My doctor is impressed and my labs confirm im on the rigjt track!

[@blueseptember2174]

My labs turned around and my doctor said he's never seen it. OK but how did that happen tho? It's crazy.

When you say high doses of D3 and K2, how much are you taking? I've been taking 10k IUs of D3 for a couple of months and my numbers only moved 6 points. I just started on a liquid D3 with K2 as well as a liquid magnesium in the hopes if getting better absorption and my numbers up more quickly.

[@hollybishop484]

The hardest part is getting this diagnosed. Most Dr's don't do complete blood panels on this and just call it good. I'm pretty sure I've had hypothyroidism for years! The best thing I can do is educate myself and tell my Dr which blood samples I want pulled. Going to try that at my next Dr's appointment.

A friend of mine has Hashimoto. She went gluten free and even remove dairy and improved considerably. She lost too much weight so has some dairy now but a strict gluten free diet is what made all the difference for her

[@carollouise9118]

I have been diagnosed with Hashimotto Hypothyroidism. Outside of my metabolism shutting down, I had no symptoms until I started synthetic medication. I cut out gluten, dairy, carbs and all processed foods. My diet consists of apple\pear sauce, vegs, eggs, meat, berries & humus daily. I eat 400-500 calories per day within a 6 hour window and can't lose any weight. If I eat more calories than I am I gain weight. I do 700 exercises a day and 900 steps on my stepper, equivalent to 90 flights of stairs. I take Synthroid meds, Vit B complex, extra B12, C, D, Zinc, Probiotic and Fiber supplements daily. My only symptoms, outside of weight, is extremely dry skin that I rub until raw, skin rashes and extreme intolerance emotions. I usually cant fall asleep until 5:00am most nights, but do get 7-8 hours of sleep a day. I can't get a family doctor here in Alberta, Canada and really need help. I am at my wits end of what to do to lose weight and stop rubbing my skin raw.

This one of the top comments in the video above although I personally like eating sweet potato: Foods to avoid: 1. Cassava 2. Lima beans 3. Sorgum 4. Sweet potato 5. Flax seed 6. Cruciferous vegetables 7. Millet 8. Soy products 9. Onions 10. Gluten If you have cruciferous vegetables in very small amounts (less than five ounces), it shouldn’t be a problem. Cooking, steaming, or fermenting cruciferous vegetables also reduces their goitrogenic effect. Having sea kelp as well may also help. You would also want to avoid anything that depletes selenium, iodine, iron, and vitamin A. Good sources of selenium and iodine: • Seafood • Sea kelp • Sea salt Good sources of iron: • Red meat • Animal products Good sources of vitamin A: • Egg yolks • Butter • Cod liver oil • Beef liver

[@alexialira3839]

@denvernaicker8250 thanks!! Question...what kind of red meat? Lean? Some fat? Fatty?

[@denvernaicker8250]

@alexialira3839 from personal experimentation, I have found that not too lean and not too fatty, as too much fat can over excrete gallbladder bile which can cause immediate expulsion from body, and too lean meat which is akin to having a rabbit diet will result in very low overall energy levels to do any physical exertion including walking up small steps. The lean protein diet helped me lose a lot of weight but at the cost of not having that much energy to do much else. The cut or portion of meat I am subscribing at the moment is silverside beef and has a top layer of fat. I have tried lamb although coupling this with resistance training, I noted that there was less strength on my part to continue at higher levels of repetition, so I have opted for beef. I do take beef organ supplements which have been freeze dried and are easy to digest and absorb, there is some distaste towards the tatste of organ meat, but the benefits are b12 and mitochondria energy related. Do note portion sizes and electrolytes and other items which I have gone back and forth experimenting with even if I have an allergic reaction to, the body does need almost small sizes of everything. Although I am very allergic to shellfish and fish, I can pallet seaweed especially in capsule powder form. I might have given a broad summary but another key note would be quality of meat from supplier. Grass fed being at the top and one can gauge the effect by the quantity to eat to feel satiated.

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's EIGHT years after symptoms started. Multiple visits to the doc resulted in only ONE test for vitamin D which of course was low at 20. Doc couldn't figure out what tests to run for my complaints of fatigue, brain fog, new daily onset headaches and muscle stiffness and pain. Now that I've been diagnosed and on meds, I feel worse than I did before being diagnosed. Doctors think normalizing TSH is the only thing that needs to be done and the symptoms must be in my head. The medical community to date has been an impediment to my treatment and recovery. How can so many doctor's be so ignorant after going through six years of medical school?

Same here, 32 yrs ago was diagnosed and on levo, wjich has caused more damage and ive never lost weight on it only put on more. Ive got inflamnation everywhere, osteoarthritis in my knees due to the weight, hormone issues, kidney stones for 20 yrs. Doctors in uk treat you as one size fits all, are not bothered with testing everything and only test your tsh and t4. I believe some enviromental cause is to blame for so many people having thyroid issues and then obviously the drugs dont help as your body get more tolerance to the drugs and these drugs dont even fully treat the symptoms let alone the cause. I was in suppirt groups online both uk and american groups and even though these people are on medication, they are all still suffering. Its disgusting that doctors are now trying to pass the buck by making us believe we have fiseases when really they are all symptoms from leaky gut due to enviromental and food toxins. We litterally are being bombarded with big pharma toxic drugs that i believe are causing more harm than good. Our soil and foods sre being sprayed with chemicals, our skies are too and even tap wster with flouride in and heavy metals & toxins. Is it no wondered people are having issues. Our bodies are trying to heal us hence them telling us by the symptoms we get but mainstream docs have been trained only in pharmaceuticals not nutrition or enviromental toxins

Hashimoto’s usually causes those issues, not the other way around. Also, he did talk about those things at 17:48. You cannot significantly improve gut health without having your thyroid hormones at optimal levels first.

[@y.a.4464]

@@LittleCreek30 Unfortunately it’s a vicious cycle. Those critters were only able to grow because Hashimoto’s slows the MMC. In a healthy person with a normal MMC, an overgrowth like that is unlikely to happen. The critters caused the leaky gut, which further intensifies the Hashimoto’s (and all other autoimmune diseases). The issue needs to be addressed from both sides to stop the cycle. I’m glad you’re seeing improvements!

[@kaceeboxers3580]

I use a brilliant functional doctor who treats my type 1 diabetes and hashimotos. A1C is low 5’s and thyroid hormones fluctuate, but recover rapidly. I have been gluten, dairy except white cheese, and grain free for years, eating keto and carnivore, along with intermittent fasting. My functional doctor wanted me to have an endocrinologist on board, but said, ‘dont let him treat your thyroid’. Told him there were zero good endocrinologists in our town and he agreed, so he opened his iPad, did a search, and put his finger on one. The visit was disastrous, I didn’t go back and the report he sent to my functional doctor was scathing. The report said things I never said and made me out to look reckless because I intermittent fast, keep a low A1C. At the time, was testing a common T4 medication along with a t3 medication. The T4 medication gave me occasional heart palpitations and I stopped taking it and went back to my Armor. This endocrinologist again thought I was reckless doing this without my doctors ‘orders’. It is I who research and ask my doctor to allow me to test various combinations and as long as the dose is equivalent, he goes along with it. We also test often. Not every medication works the same on every person and sometimes with Hashimotos, you need to rotate medications that you know work for your system. Good luck finding a good endocrinologist- the two I have gone to know less than I do, and I am a layperson. Diet is never mentioned.

[@laurajones6398]

I personally find if I notice swelling or fluid retention I either need vit D3 or my B vitamins. I personally have Lyme and ms. So if it’s D3, I personally need 40 000iUs of D3 with 600 mcg K2. (I have a resistance D3. That means regardless to what my bloodwork says I need a lot more. The good news is as long as you take K2 100 MCG for every 10,000 IUs of vitamin D3, there are no overdose side effects. D3 is a fat soluble vitamin, so I will also need vit E, flax or omega 3.

[@ingallsma]

Thank you for this video! I was never diagnosed until they had to remove my thyroid due to an enlarged cyst (goiter?) and presurgery tests showed that my thyroid looked like a lace curtain. Hashimoto’s had destroyed a thyroid that was still functioning despite the goiter that was interrupting my swallowing. Since then I’m experiencing all the symptoms mentioned in this video despite all the adjustments I’ve tried with my meds. I’m definitely becoming a new patient with Dr. Tsoukalas. I’ll be happy to report back 😊

[@mountainangel4293]

@Dr. Eric Berg DC In 2005, I was diagnosed with diabetes. I had an excellent doctor, and with his help, I followed his plan to get better. In 2012, I came off of Metformin, and now I'm pre-diabetic. In 2012, I was diagnosed with Graves Disease, and my doctor did not remove my thyroid but killed it with the radiation pill. It didn't work, and I ended up with a tiny thyroid. In 2018, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. The symptoms with it are practically unbearable. The fatigue alone is horrible! The joint, bone, and muscle pain is terrible. There are no Endocrinologists where I live. I have to travel 2 hours to see her who mainly focuses on diabetes. I can't even begin to describe this horrible journey, including the weight gain.😢

[@ellieb2914]

I'm so sorry you are going through this. If you don't have any ethical objections perhaps consider trying a carnivore elimination diet for 30-90 days to see if that gives you some relief. Dr. Berg and other doctors on YT have some great videos on how to use diet as a healing nutritional tool though I know many who have had such positive results that they've stayed with it, myself included.

[@mountainangel4293]

@ellieb2914 Thank you for your response. Since the removal of my gallbladder 3 years ago, I have a hard time with digesting certain foods. Red meats is one of them, but I'll give it a try. I am on a gluten free lifestyle change (diet, lol).

[@sweetsushanna-ahh]

Someone here on YT, said that she resolved her thyroid issues with 1 or 2 Brazilnut a day and that it corrects both hyper or hypo because of the selenium in it. You can research this. Also too much selenium can be damaging if it's overdone, so keep this in mind.

[@junesmith1570]

Same here, thyroid removed surgically and treated with radioactive ☢️ iodine! Suffering with years of cancers, pain, many conditions, endocrinologists say my bloodwork TSH is normal! I give up!! 😢

[@mountainangel4293]

@junesmith1570 I'm so sorry to hear that!!! The radioactive iodine pill I took, I was allergic to. I'm highly allergic to shellfish, especially shrimp. I was afraid to take that pill to destroy the thyroid; however, my doctor said it wasn't enough to hurt me. About 30 minutes later, I started itching and developed hives, and by the time I made it back to radiology, my throat was swelling. Was given a shot and IV fluids. Imagine living 2 hours away how our drive back home would have been, but I hadn't left the hospital. 2 days later, the fatigue set in. I didn't think I would live through the night.

I initially diagnosed myself. After the Graves Disease symptoms went away, I started feeling fatigued really badly. The cardiologist said the heart was fine. TSH levels were badly off. Was diagnosed with low active thyroid. Sent to an endocrinologist after getting worse and tried several different thyroid meds, and they would work for awhile and levels were off again. I remember a coworker having Hashimoto's and my symptoms were similar. Kept asking the Endocrinologists about it and she specifically said NO, it's just a low active thyroid. I watched a video on YT where the dr said if your endocrinologist is not listening to you and you have a low, active thyroid, ask your primary care doctor to do these tests. I think there were 4 or more. I was positive for Hashimoto's antibodies and, of course, a low active tbyroid. I took the results to my Endocrinologists, and all she said was well, yes, that comes with the territory. I will take all of these suggestions and discuss them with both my primary care physician and my endocrinologist, and hopefully, we can come up with a plan to get me to better health! 🙏🏽 Thanks again, everyone.

I have Hashiimoto's since I was in my mid 20's. I suffered until my early 40's when I studied and was able to convince my endocrinologist to add liothyronine in addition to levothyroxine. I lived in cloud for 20 years (tired, not being able to concentrate, depression, etc) and my doctors didn't know or understand at the time what I was describing to them. When I was at my wits end, I saw a neurologist who prescribed Provigil because I was so close to being diagnosed to narcolepsy after doing the sleep study. Anyway, adding that little bit of liothyronine helped me get my life back.

Thank you for another great interview / informative session and topic! I've recently discovered I've got the TPO/TG antibodies though at the moment my thyroid function is adequate and I've not experience symptoms (therefore haven't needed to head down the thyroid hormone replacement route). It was Dr. George Papanicolaou who got me thinking 'this is an autoimmune condition which happens to be targetting the thyroid' which opens up an entirely different route to treatment. I've moved fully onto the carnivore diet, having removed all ultra processed foods for the most part years ago, and now fully disposed of seed oils etc for well over a year. I'm practicing time restricted eating 18:6 daily and have introduced longer fasts to further encourage my body to heal itself. There's such a correlation between the SAD (insert American, Australian, Anglo) and these conditions.

Thank you Dr Berg for having this discussion. One thing that I have thought about that maybe overlooked and another reason that women are higher in hypothyroidism is we wear facial make-up with a lot of chemicals in them. All of the lymphatic system in the face drains into the neck and the neck lymph nodes drain into the underarm lymph nodes. Its never one thing in the body its a combination of factors that contribute to our health. Its good to take everything into consideration. My Dr said my thyroid numbers were low. She threatened to put me on Synthroid. I said that I would try supplements first. I supplemented with iodine with kelp and selenium and my thyroid numbers were normal in 6 weeks. My Dr. was shocked and pleased.

[@evesloan7895]

Oh, I believe you are so correct about the chems in makeup. Its the diet too. I had a sore armpit for a couple of months. I tried hot packs every couple of hours for two days (also I am on 24 mg Tri iodine/2 brazil nuts) as I figured the lymph glands in my armpit were plugged- yup! All relieved.

[@CMarie404]

Perhaps for later life emergence and diagnosis, but there are many who have had it nearly their entire life. I was diagnosed as a kid, and never one for make up. Selenium is great for thyroid as we tend to be depleted with low functioning thyroid. Added iodine/kelp (among other foods) can exacerbate the issue. Depends on hypo versus hashi. Glad your numbers are good. Not a one fits all scenario at all.

[@WalkinginDivineHealth]

The keto diet was hurting my T3 conversion and also raising Reverse T3. Low carb diets especially in women, can cause hypothyroidism. Fasting can also be problematic as it raises stress hormones which lower T3 production and increase RT3. We have to understand that men and women have different physiological needs and also this varies individually. One can experiment with using body temperature as an indicator for metabolic function. We want to have a high metabolism, which means high electron transport activity, so this will show up in a higher body temperature and a higher resting pulse rate. Both should rise throughout the day and fall slightly before bed. A lot of nutritional deficiencies resolve when the metabolic rate is higher as this increases the flow of nutrient carrying blood through the body more rapidly and also reaches deeper into the tissues- when the heart rate is up and the temp is up. Warm tissue creates better blood flow, so staying warm by eating warming foods and regular movement will help raise the metabolic rate. Also avoiding PUFAs (Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids) is paramount to increasing the metabolic rate. PUFAs basically clog the electron transport chain and are most likely a culprit in the rise of metabolic function disorders in the US and other developed nations. Think of the electrons as little pieces of raw energy and the transport chain is like the train that brings the energy to all of our cells. This is so your mitochondria can make their little energy packets (ATP). You want this train to keep moving and you want it to have an inner momentum. Without movement in the chain, life ceases! You need carbs without the PUFAs to keep the chain moving efficiently, things like fruit, honey, maple syrup, and juices fuel the chain rapidly, conventional grains do not. If you are metabolically dysfunctional consuming the easily digestible carbs will not help increase your metabolic rate. First one has to detox the PUFAs accumulation which are clogging the cells ability to accept electrons. You can do this with increasing traditionally raised saturated animal fats along with tocotrienols while avoiding or at least minimizing PUFA consumption. I would say contact your medical professional for help with this protocol, but as of this date I do not know of any "professional" who completely understands our metabolic processes. You will have to do your due diligence and connect the dots with published scientific research along with consorting with people who are familiar with the work of those such as the late Dr. Ray Peat.

How do we correct these deficiencies? I have no thyroid due to Hashimotos and Graves .

[@MiaSonoma]

I got so sick of Hashimotos suspecting my body was confusing an ingredient of food as my thyroid (per dr Brian Clarke) that I went on that old dr (1940’s) Rice diet - I ate plain rice with fruit - after 3 days my eyes were buldging and my pulse was very high so I lowered my thyroid meds (because with my Hashimotos sometimes my thyroid swings up and I lower my meds per drs orders then raise it back when thyroid slows down anyway) Anyway, after 2 weeks of monitoring pulse/blood pressure I lowered my meds to zero. My pulse is normal, my hb is normal. I just did a thyroid blood panel - my thyroid numbers are normal. My antibodies are 100 which is still high but for me they were 700-800 on meds/eating reg food. I will use the Puse Test to add food back in. Pretty sure that it’s dairy and gluten that I’m allergic too. They say it takes 3 months for thyroid to completely adjust to new meds/no meds/diet changes but for now - I’m very happy with my bland diet - I did add Yoshita sauce, salt/potassium (salt alternative and black coffee - still regular stats. Check with ur doc before doing what I did but changing ur diet shouldn’t require a dr lol...I think I’m free, yay 🤗
