“In general, I see more sicker kids and a lot more autoimmunity than I saw early on.” - Dr. Roy SteinbockThyroid conditions in children are often missed since getting a diagnosis is much less straightforward than for adults. Unlike adults, where screening follows a much more standard pattern, children don’t typically undergo annual testing, especially not for thyroid hormone levels.They also often have symptoms long before their labs start to show abnormal results, and the symptoms they’re experiencing can easily be dismissed as side effects of growth and development.Today, I’m excited to be joined by pediatrician Dr. Roy Steinbock, who joins us to share insights into thyroid conditions in children. Dr. Roy is a Board-Certified Pediatrician with an integrative and patient-centered approach. With over 20 years in primary care, he built a solid foundation assisting patients and families with diverse medical conditions. He believes that investigating the root cause, rather than only addressing symptoms, is the best route to achieving and maintaining optimal health and well-being.In this conversation, Dr. Roy and I discuss how thyroid conditions present in children, the importance of early diagnosis and comprehensive testing, the challenges of diagnosing thyroid issues in children, the role of nutrition and lifestyle, why treatment approaches must differ for adults and children, the need for a holistic approach to pediatric thyroid health, and more.

According to the Triad of Autoimmunity, three components are necessary for autoimmunity to develop: a genetic predisposition, environmental triggers, and a leaky gut. This is why grains such as oats and rice are excluded from an autoimmune paleo and a standard paleo diet.While you don't need to eat grains to get the nutrients that you need, they can be quite tasty. Unfortunately, grains have compounds that can be harsh on the gut, including phytates and lectins, which can make it difficult to heal a leaky gut or can contribute to its development. Today, I’m discussing how grains affect the body and my recommendations for grain consumption while you are on your thyroid healing journey.In this episode, you’ll learn:- How grains can negatively affect gut health- The Triad of Autoimmunity- My approach to grain consumption while restoring my health with Grave’s disease- Why I don’t recommend eating grains while you are on your thyroid healing journey- My recommendations for choosing gluten-free grainsAs always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!To learn more, visit the show notes at https://savemythyroid.com/podcast/can-i-eat-oats-rice-and-other-grains/.

“If you want to change your health radically, you have to radicalize what you’re doing on a day-to-day basis.” - Juanique Grover70 to 80% of your immune health is your microbiome, and our modern lifestyle does not support gut health very well.In infancy, most American babies' first foods typically consist of some types of cereal or wheat products that inadvertently expose them to herbicides, pesticides, and more. It’s also quite common for babies and young children to be given antibiotics or to be exposed to antibiotics in the womb. When we look at the combination of eating food that destroys the microbiome and being overexposed to antibiotics that destroy the microbiome from a very young age, most of us start with a rocky foundation for our immune health.Today, I’m excited to talk to Juanique Grover about gut health, the connection to thyroid health, and what a holistic approach to gut health looks like. As the owner and founder of the esteemed Provo Health Clinic, Juanique has dedicated her life to revolutionizing the way people perceive and achieve holistic wellness. Fueled by her personal experiences with Graves’ disease and long COVID, and SIRS, Juanique pioneered the groundbreaking Gutsy Academy, a beacon of knowledge empowering individuals to become self-healing advocates through meticulously curated programs and insights. She has equipped countless people with the tools and mindsets to reclaim their health and vitality. Her mission is simple yet profound: to guide individuals toward becoming the healthiest, most vibrant versions of themselves.In this conversation, Juanique and I discuss the crucial link between gut health and thyroid conditions, how she overcame Graves' disease, the importance of a healthy gut microbiome for recovering from autoimmune conditions, the role of fiber in immune health, the impact of stress on digestion, a holistic approach to healing, and more.

“Thyroid disorders are very prevalent, especially in women.” - Dr. Lorraine MaitaWhat you eat and drink, how much you sleep, how much you exercise, the stress you're under, and the toxins you're exposed to all affect your thyroid and hormones. We often underestimate the impact of our lifestyle on our health, but especially for women, the level of toxin exposure through personal care products alone is staggering.With many of these chemicals being estrogenic, women can end up being estrogen-dominant without having high levels of estrogen itself. Then, once the symphony of hormones is off, you’re at risk for developing a thyroid condition and other issues such as infertility.Today, I’m excited to chat about hormones and autoimmunity with Lorraine Maita, MD, the Hormone Harmonizer and Detoxifier. Dr. Lorraine is a triple board-certified physician specializing in helping you have boundless energy, stable moods, a lean body, a sharp, clear mind, deep sleep, clear, glowing skin, and balanced hormones so you can feel like yourself again.In this conversation, Dr. Lorraine and I discuss the complex relationship between thyroid health and your sex hormones, the prevalence of thyroid disorders in women, the impact of estrogen on thyroid function, the importance of holistic approaches to hormone replacement therapy, how lifestyle factors influence overall health, and more.

According to a recent study, about 33% of women over 18 and more than 10% of men over 40 in Europe and the United States dye their hair. Because hair dye is so commonly used, many of my patients have questioned its impact on their health.Even with the increasing availability of plant-based hair dyes and the wide range of dyes - whether permanent, semi-permanent, or temporary - there are some known risks and uncertainties associated with using hair dye.Today, I’m sharing the latest research on the effect of hair dye on thyroid health and overall well-being.In this episode, you’ll learn:- Types of hair dye and prevalence of use- Key ingredients in hair dye and the mechanisms of toxicity associated with them- Natural hair dyes and their comparative safety- What research shows about hair dye and autoimmunity- Hair dye as a contributing factor in hair loss- The potential impact of hair dye on thyroid health- Increased risk of health complications for hairdressers and barbers working with hair dye- The link between hair dye use and breast cancer risk- How you can reduce the risk of health issues due to hair dyesAs always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!To learn more, visit the show notes at https://savemythyroid.com/podcast/can-hair-dyes-have-a-negative-effect-on-thyroid-health/.

“It's amazing when we get back to the basics, how well our body takes over and knows what to do to heal.” - Heather GrayWhen it comes to Lyme disease, many people are laser-focused on treatment instead of optimizing the whole person. But if you don't address the foundations, heal the gut, reduce your toxic load, do things to manage stress, and improve your adrenal health, these therapies aren't going to be nearly as effective as they could be.Today’s guest, Heather Gray, has lived with Lyme for 20+ years. After taking care of the basics, cleaning up her lifestyle and environment, and detoxing, she found she didn’t have to work so hard to treat it anymore. Heather is a Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist and Bioenergetic Practitioner who specializes in supporting clients with chronic and complex illnesses such as Lyme disease, mold toxicity, and autoimmune diseases.In this conversation, Heather and I discuss the need for a holistic approach to health, how gut health and emotional trauma influence Lyme disease, the challenges of getting a proper diagnosis, the significance of foundational health practices, the potential benefits of bioenergetics and frequency therapy, and more.

While yeast is a normal part of your gut flora, issues can arise when its population gets too high. I commonly see Candida overgrowth in my patients with Graves’ disease and Hashimoto’s, with the most well-known species of yeast in the gut being Candida albicans.Research shows that Candida can contribute to an increase in intestinal permeability, also known as leaky gut, which is one part of the triad of autoimmunity. Today, I’m exploring whether Candida can trigger thyroid autoimmunity and how to test for and manage Candida overgrowth.In this episode, you’ll learn:- How Candida overgrowth may contribute to the development of autoimmune thyroid conditions- Pros and cons of Candida overgrowth testing methods- Signs and symptoms of Candida overgrowth- Challenges with testing for small intestinal fungal overgrowth (SIFO)- Dietary recommendations for managing Candida overgrowth- Natural treatment options and medications for Candida overgrowthAs always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!To learn more, visit the show notes at https://savemythyroid.com/podcast/can-candida-trigger-thyroid-autoimmunity/.

“Focus on what you need to add into the diet rather than what you need to take out.” - Louise DigbyMany people focus on diet and exercise when they want to lose weight. However, especially when it comes to stubborn weight, focusing on our health and addressing underlying imbalances gets way better results than eating less and exercising more.Instead of the typical diet approach of cutting out “bad” foods, a more helpful way of thinking is to focus on what your body needs to thrive and function properly. Too often, we cut out foods and food groups that have a place in a healthy diet and sabotage our progress. When you’re meeting your nutrient requirements, your body is better able to repair, stay in balance, and maintain a healthy weight.Today, I’m very excited to chat with Louise Digby about the various factors that can affect a weight loss journey. Louise is a registered nutritional therapist, women’s weight loss expert, and founder of The Nourish Method to Lasting Fat Loss. Her clients come to her after struggling to lose weight despite eating well and working hard to burn the fat. Louise transforms her clients' health and well-being by identifying and addressing each individual’s unique needs and imbalances to lose weight, optimize their health, and rediscover their sparkle without restrictive dieting or the need for superhuman willpower.In this conversation, Louise and I discuss the challenges women in perimenopause and menopause face in losing weight, how thyroid issues impact weight management, why she focuses on addressing underlying health imbalances, the need for adequate protein, fat and carbohydrates in every meal, how to manage sugar cravings, why we need to heal the gut, whether intermittent fasting works, practical steps for starting your weight loss journey, and more.

There are many factors to consider when choosing a natural healthcare practitioner. From their specialization to their credentials and years in practice, there’s a lot to navigate as a patient or client.A practitioner’s experience can significantly affect your health outcome, but the quality of that experience matters. Today, I’m sharing the key factors to consider when evaluating practitioners, weighing the pros and cons, and finding the right provider for you.In this episode, you’ll learn about:- Why time in practice isn’t a good marker on its own- Recognizing that healthcare is an evolving field where it’s crucial to stay up-to-date- The value and drawbacks of extensive experience with specific conditions- Putting credentials into context when selecting a practitioner- The benefits of working with a practitioner who has personal experience with your condition- Key factors to consider when choosing a practitionerAs always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!To learn more, visit the show notes at https://savemythyroid.com/podcast/does-experience-matter-when-choosing-a-natural-thyroid-expert/.

“There is no survival advantage to screening with mammograms.” - Dr. Jenn SimmonsFor over 50 years, healthcare providers have told women how important it is to have a mammogram every year after a certain age. With mammograms positioned as the primary screening tool for breast cancer, these annual visits are dutifully maintained for years in the hope that they will act as an early warning system. Unfortunately, the data doesn’t support this theory.Research shows that there was no survival advantage to screening with mammograms, nor does it result in more breasts saved. In addition, repeated radiation exposure causes thousands of breast cancers every year, as well as thousands of women treated for breast cancer that never needed to be treated. Luckily, we now have alternatives that are safer and less aggressive.Today, I’m excited to chat with Dr. Jenn Simmons, who is on a mission to change the impact of breast cancer. Dr. Jenn started her professional career as Philadelphia's first fellowship-trained breast surgeon and spent 17 years as Philadelphia's top breast surgeon. Her own illness led to her discovery of functional medicine, and she became enamored with the concept of creating health rather than killing disease. She left traditional medicine in 2019 and founded Real Health MD to help women along their breast cancer journey truly heal.In this conversation, Dr. Jenn and I discuss her personal experiences with breast cancer, the complexities of its detection and treatment, the root causes of breast cancer, how environmental toxins and lifestyle factors affect cancer development, innovative imaging technology for safer breast cancer screening, why you shouldn’t be afraid of estrogen, and more.

Thytrophin PMG is a supplement from Standard Process® that contains bovine thyroid PMG™ extract and a proprietary Protomorphogen™ blend. It’s been around for many years, and it's not uncommon for me to encounter patients who have been supplementing with it.In theory, Thytrophin PMG is supposed to act as a decoy for the immune system to attack the supplement instead of the thyroid gland. Today, I’m sharing what you need to know before taking Thytrophin PMG and whether it’s an effective supplement for those with Graves’ disease or Hashimoto’s.In this episode, you’ll learn:- How Thytrophin PMG works and what it’s used for- The potential effectiveness and lack of research on the use of Thyrotrophin PMG for Graves' disease and Hashimoto's- What to think about when considering using Thyrotrophin PMG- Recommended dosage and how to take Thyrotrophin PMGAs always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!To learn more, visit the show notes at https://savemythyroid.com/podcast/should-thytrophin-pmg-be-taken-by-those-with-graves-disease-and-hashimotos/.

Thyroid care is complicated, yet we’re often offered a one-size-fits-all approach by conventional medicine.Thyroid medication is one of the most prescribed medications in the US, so many people could benefit from thyroid care done right. Unfortunately, most providers don’t understand how to diagnose thyroid conditions well, how antibodies affect thyroid symptoms, or how to dose the medication properly.Recognizing this gap, today’s guest, Dr. Brittany Henderson, recognized this gap and felt drawn to help people in this field. Dr. Brittany is a dual board-certified physician in both internal medicine and endocrinology. She is a thyroid expert working to bridge the gap between functional and conventional medical approaches to thyroid care.In this conversation, Dr. Brittany and I discuss her integrative approach to thyroid care, the differences between thyroid nodules and cysts, diagnostic criteria, toxic nodules, subacute thyroiditis, the role of iodine in thyroid health, conventional treatment options, minimally invasive alternatives like alcohol ablation and radiofrequency ablation, and more.

“Most people with endometriosis have several symptoms, not just painful periods.” - Dr. Jessica DrummondEndometriosis is a structural immune disorder that affects around one in ten women. With this condition, tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows anywhere in the body outside the uterus.Each case of endometriosis can present differently, and the condition is often misdiagnosed or undiagnosed, with an average delay of diagnosis of around 12 years. Symptoms can start in pre-puberty, first showing up as gut or digestive issues. Later, we often see menstrual pain, bladder pain, and various comorbidities such as mast cell activation syndrome.Today, I’m excited to be joined by Dr. Jessica Drummond to have a comprehensive chat about endometriosis, which can be a very complex condition to treat. Dr. Jessica is the Founder and CEO of The Integrative Women's Health Institute. For over two decades, she has worked with women with complex chronic illnesses such as endometriosis, pelvic pain, painful bladder syndrome, and vulvodynia and has educated practitioners in over 60 countries. She takes a root cause, innovative approach to healing in collaboration with her clients and students.In this conversation, Dr. Jessica and I discuss her journey into women's health, the complexities of endometriosis, its symptoms, the challenges in diagnosis and treatment, integrative management approaches, the relationship between endometriosis and thyroid health, why it’s crucial to find a skilled surgeon, non-surgical options for managing endometriosis and more.

“There’s usually something lifestyle-related that we could improve. We don't always need a prescription or a supplement.” - Dr. Bindiya GandhiLeptin, also known as the satiety hormone, is produced by our fat cells and is one of the main signals that tell our body whether we need to eat more or less. Balanced leptin levels help us maintain a healthy weight because of its impact on metabolism. Leptin resistance, on the other hand, often shows up as difficulty losing weight despite eating well and moving frequently.Many factors can contribute to leptin resistance, including chronic stress, the standard American diet, medications, environmental toxins, and more. The common element is the impact these stressors have on your gut microbiome, which in turn influences your metabolism.Today, I’m excited to be joined by Dr. Bindiya Gandhi to take a deeper look at leptin and its connection with thyroid health. In this conversation, Dr. Bindiya and I discuss leptin's role in metabolism, what leptin resistance means, factors contributing to leptin resistance, how to test for leptin resistance, the connection between thyroid conditions and leptin resistance, dietary recommendations, the use of supplements, and more.
