Selenium and your thyroid

My Favorite Selenium Supplement: www.glutenfree...
Selenium is a trace mineral. It’s only needed in small amounts. And even though selenium is abundantly found in our environment, deficiencies are a problem these days. It may be that our soil contains less selenium than it used to due to factory farming practices. But it’s also because our Western diet is highly processed and lacks many essential nutrients.
Symptoms of selenium deficiency are often related to the functions it plays. For example, hair loss is a symptom of selenium deficiency. And it’s also a symptom of thyroid disease. Other symptoms include:
Fatigue
Depression
Brain fog
Muscle weakness
Frequent illness/infections
Selenium deficiencies are also associated with serious degenerative diseases. And in many cases, evidence points to a loss of antioxidant activity.
For example, selenium-containing antioxidant enzymes prevent the oxidation of fats in your body, which helps prevent inflammation and the build-up of plaques in your arteries. Thus, evidence suggests a selenium deficiency could lead to heart disease.
Other diseases associated with a selenium deficiency include:
Congestive cardiomyopathy (e.g., Keshan disease)
Cancer (e.g., prostate, liver, and breast)
Thyroid disease
Neurological disorders (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease)
Mood disorders
Bone and joint disorders (e.g., Keshin-beck disease)
Infertility
Inflammatory bowel diseases

The role SELENIUM plays in the maintenance of thyroid: - pituitary gland produces TSH - to stimulate thyroid to produce T4 thyroid hormone. T4 is consisting of: 1. T- tyrosine, an amino acid, a building blocks, that comes mostly from protein resources. People who reduce their protein intake, get issues with thyroid. (Because thyrosine is missing). And 2. Four Iodine atoms. T4 travels to the liver, where it gets converted into the active T3, by losing one iodine atom. T3 is the actual active hormone we want. You need to have adequate production and conversion of the hormone T4. A lot of the symptoms of selenium defficiency occur as a result of Poor thyroid. Metabolic function requires thyroid hormone (T3). METABOLISM is the sum of all chemical reactions in your body (build tissue, repair damaged tissue, break down tissue, build hormones, muscles, produce insuline, make different substnaces the body needs). If the production slows down.

With me, I added Iodine and got no results until I added copper, iron, selenium, and zinc. Could not breathe and felt weak and tired with a form of anemia before. Thanks, Doc.

Selenium may improve mood by reducing inflammation, which is often at heightened levels when someone has a mood disorder, such as anxiety. 👍

[@neiceystauffer9085]

i have terrible anxiety! been really digging into my symptoms and getting off pharmAa..all this blows my mind!! how easily we could all be healthy!! IF we only had adequate healthcare system!!

[@michellefilak6783]

Outstanding video!!!! You are the first doctor who actually tells us what we need to do other than taking the little pink pill, Synthroid !

[@neiceystauffer9085]

YESSS

[@cosmichealth3907]

Bet ....no better video on thyroid condition... Thanks

[@raynaprettyman5361]

Why don’t they just check selenium in the first place? Why don’t they just make a T3 drug instead of T4? This is what makes people frustrated with doctors and big pharma.

[@berylanjous6932]

Well, they can’t have you getting better can they. There’s no money in it.

[@Jaquableu]

Armour is a bio identical thyroid replacement hormone that is made naturally from pig's thyroid. It does provide t1, t2, t3, and t4. Much less side effects too. Start on a low dose and adjust with blood test every 6 weeks til you tweak it.

[@juliachesters5042]

Thank you Sir for your expertise. Selenium drops certainly helped me having discovered my Selenium was extremely low!

[@neiceystauffer9085]

may i ask..do you have thyroid issues? and did this cure it? my question is how do we know when to stop taking that dang little pill!

[@lorikane7218]

As always, thank you Dr.Osborne for all your hard work and advice. And trying to help us understand in layman’s terms our health struggles.😉👍 Your The Best❤️God Bless You🙏😌

[@michaemoore]

His excellent, we need to like and share his videos ....

[@keynadarling]

Really wonderful videos Dr. Osborne!!! I am hypothyroid and have been for years. I knew I was missing T3 and I am taking Synthroid and a Selinium a day that is, 200mcg. Is that too much? My hair was falling out and then I started the Selinium and in two months I know longer am losing hair. Thank you for such great information, love your channel.

[@neiceystauffer9085]

i also have hypo..been researching on and off for yrs now trying to to find a way to get off the medication!! and i come upon this video..if i may ask..cause i also lose a small quarter size or more hair each time i shower or its falling off me..has it helped ? any other significant changes? are you still taking your synthroid? what does were you taking of the synthroid? sorry for all the bombardment of questions but i’m very excited to perhaps found a solution!

[@keynadarling]

@@neiceystauffer9085 Hello Neice, I am sorry it took me so long to write back, I just saw this. I take 1.25 mcg six days a week and 1.25 and a half on Sundays. I started taking Collagen supplements and I also take Selenium. Yes, I am sharing that you are taking too much Selenium in my opinion, you should only take 1/2 of that. I only take 50 mcg daily, a multivitamin, Zinc, D3, and a B12. I noticed a ton of hair growth when I started the Selenium and Collagen. Feel free to ask me anything, I am willing to help because we are all going through this together. I am now trying to stay away from Gluten because I am Gluten sensitive. I had the test surgically done and my daughter ended up having full-blown Celiac but I was sensitive to it. She has been gluten-free for three years now and her iron is way up, she was on empty. Thank God a hormone specialist caught it.

[@fayetalei3626]

Can you please provide some info for healthy hair, and not growing hair. Thank you

[@terrimurrell6037]

Be careful with Brazil nuts. I’ve read that 3 a day would be the correct “dose”. At this number, I developed heavy metal poisoning. I now eat 1 or 2 per week.

[@neiceystauffer9085]

😮

[@ramona9351]

thank you for your knowledge it is so helpful for me to heal when/if needed thanks Dr

[@NancyBeegle]

Yes! Thank you so much for sharing this, Dr O! Settles a debate with an overweight vegan who's trying to convert my family lol. My mom had her thyroid removed due to cancer about 30 years ago, and she's on synthroid. ;( Love, love your videos, thank you so much. Got a quick question....is it very likely that someone who is very thin has hypothyroidism, or more likely that they have hyperthyroidism? My PCP says my tests are normal, but I've got all of the symptoms of hyperthyroidism. I'm very thin. Thanks again for all you share here!

[@neiceystauffer9085]

i have maintained my weight of 130-135 i am about 5’4 and am a 58 yo female(i identify as a menopausal women 😂)..also am HYPO and also always questioned this..?? i am not nor ever struggled thankfully! with my weight so maybe the synthroid pill i take keeps it in ck?? i want off that pill!

[@andreapicardi9682]

How much selenium do you recommend? I've been on it for a while and my T3 is still under 3.0. What are your optimal T3 numbers?

[@smartturkey123]

Does selenium help with hyperthyroidism?

[@arjun63]

Excellent- I luv this dr !

[@michaemoore]

His Excellent, we need to like and share his videos ....

[@michellefilak6783]

You’re the best! Thank you!

[@waggfal]

Dr. What are the functional tests you run to help Dr. McCullough get well. I think i have low thyroid too.

[@sheilamore3261]

What if you’re taking nothing will it be good to take selenium?

[@matrixresetinprogress]

Im having great results with iodine supplementing. Should I include a good selenium too?

[@neiceystauffer9085]

also interested..

[@swathikamohanraju1586]

Thank you doctor..

[@missy9280]

What is the name of selenium must I get??

[@debbieellis8764]

What would be helpful for hyperthyroidism

[@nessipatinio1748]

Selenium also alleviates hyperthyroidism, also magnesium glycinate, vitamin d3, please listen Dr. Sandra Cabot on hyperthyroidism, what she said helped me a lot, I did’nt have to go under the knife and run the risk of losing my voice. Those supplements are better than thyroid meds that only offered momentary solution.

[@ritagoodhead205]

Thank you so much

[@rebeccahoward3590]

Would a compounded thyroid medication, such as Armour Thyroid, be considered a T4? Thank you!

[@HouseCommercialCleaning]

[@fayetalei3626]

How to reverse hypothyroidism?

What is normal for selenium in your body

[@lisagardner4814]

Will selenium help raise tsh ? My daughter has low tsh and diagnosed with hyperthyroidism:(

[@edimoelvis9904]

Kelp helps with that

[@ashrafahossain9372]

My son is 28 and just found out he has hypothyroidism but don’t want to go through Levothyroxin or any medication. Can I give him Selenium 100mg once a day and can it be helpful? Thanks

[@minetwebb1742]

How much selenium to take and how much tyrosine can i get all in one pill

[@vitanilange6926]

Wonder if selenium could help with my hairloss I got the symptoms of hashimotos and my sister 12 years older got the diagnosis..

[@A10TOES]

I’m good

[@avinash9493]

Sir, Pitutary glad making TSH qty on basis of T4 feedback or T3 feedback?

[@aspasia9]

Explain why do I get actopic or irregular heartbeats after selenium intake

[@terrimurrell6037]

Reduce your selenium. I eat Brazil nuts to get the most natural form and I can only eat 1 or 2 per week. Selenium can lead to heavy metal poisoning- which has symptoms similar to Hodgkins Lymphoma.

[@bobholyoake8577]

I use Selenomethionine 💯👍 Uk

[@APBCTechnique]

TSH- from the pituitary gland | T4 - tyrosine + 4 iodine molecule | Liver - need’s Selenium & enzyme to make | T3 - tyrosine + 3 molecules of iodine to be active form of thyroxine

[@avinash9493]

TSH is inversely proportional to T4 or T3?

[@RajivBadal-p8m]

What about too much selenium.I don’t take selenium but still high
