Ma'am I am detected to have anti TPO 524.90 IU/ml , FT4 -0.66 ng/dl ,FT3 3.46 pg/ml and TSH-1.69 ulU/ml . I have clinical symptoms of Hypothyroidism. Consulted with endocrinologist. He says repeat TFT after 6 months and now nothing is required. However my quality of life has been affected by constipation , feeling fatigue lossof memory and loss of sleep .please advice . On USG NECK multiple nodules/ cysts have been found both thyroid lobes including isthmus . Remarked as benign
thank you for a very informative video imho, what sets it apart from other vids is that you indicate the "normal" range and even indicate what the optimal range is (lower or upper range) i have watched many many videos, i think this is 1 in 100 video thank you again :)
Great video. Years ago I had Hashimotos Thyroid disease but was able to reverse it by changing my diet. I went vegetarian and now vegan. At the time, I greatly reduced dairy, sugar & gluten. Mostly drank water and focused on mostly vegetable intake. Through the years I still get my t3 & t4 tested and still have a normal working thyroid thank goodness.
As someone who has struggled with Hashimoto's for 12 years, this is by far one of the most important videos on Hashimoto's on the internet! I recently moved from Los Angeles to Chicago and wish I'd found you when I lived in LA. This video is more informative than the last decade of visiting my endocrinologist. I finally did my own research (years of it) before learning the exact things in this video and finally getting on the path to healing. I started about four months ago and have gone from 150 mcg levothyroxine to 88 mcg (as my thyroid began to heal I could no longer tolerate the dose I'd been on for years). My inflammatory markers have gone down and anti-TPO has gone down but still elevated (I was still eating dairy...cheese was so hard to give up). Now that I'm gluten, soy, and dairy free, eating a nutrient-dense diet, engaging in stress busting activity, getting the right amount and type of exercise, and taking thyroid supportive supplements, including getting my vitamin D and iron up (both were severely low) I'm feeling so much better and still have a ways to go. I believe weight loss is important because fat is not just a dormant storage system. It behaves more like an organ, secreting hormones and contributing to inflammation. I've lost 20 pounds since starting my health journey 4 months ago but have a ways to go. Thank you so much for this video. Your patients are lucky!! If I ever move back to the West Coast I know who to see. You are changing lives! You are a Godsend, you are an amazing example of the approach physicians should take when treating hashi's.
Congratulations on your health journey! Thanks for watching and your very kind comments. Chicago is a great city - I did my residency at Northwestern! Best wishes, RN.
Sorry, I got cut off. This is the very 1st time I've heard of Hashimotos being cured! Never knew it could!! I will watch this video many times and share with my new Dr. Thank you again for making this video for all of us!!
I was diagnosed when I was 12 and told repeatedly there was no cure. If there is even one case of it being reversed docs need to stop saying that. I wish more doctors would approach things holistically like you. Thank you for the video.
Most important video on this subject I've ever encountered. I'm in tears, because I suffer from all the symptoms very much and it's affecting my entire life for years now. I'm still young and it affects me negatively in life immensely, in all aspects. Thank you for explaining all this, it's very important information and it should be accessible to anyone. I instantly subscribed. Shalom!
I was diagnosed with hasimotos at the age of 60. I've watched hours of Utube videos on the subject. Just like to say this hand on heart has been one of the best at explaining why things need to be excluded from your diet.
I’ve been battling Hypothyroidism for 10+ years and never knew much about it. It wasn’t until I started seeing a new Dr that I suggested doing an antibody test to see if I may have Hashimotos - my TPO tested at 1300 and I was diagnosed w hashimotos. Ive been researching nonstop on how to naturally treat it and this is legit one of the best videos I’ve seen that explains how to treat Hashimotos without making you further confused, thank you!!❤
One of the most comprehensive hashimoto vids to include medication, food and lifestyle interventions to both stabilize and possibly even reverse the disease!
I am halfway in the video and I have to stop and applaud 👏... this is a masterpiece... the structure of the information is just incredible easy to understand and touches every component you need to know about this thyroid disorder which is a tricky and confusing one. Thank you! ❤
I am 50 years old and have Hashimoto’s and I am postmenopausal & 5‘8“ at 212 pounds and This is the best information EVER. As I sit up here at 1:29 in the morning watching your video sitting up having hot flashes and body aches and other symptoms, I am finally convince to really start exercising on a daily basis to lose some weight and change my diet eat to live instead of living to eat. Thank you so much for your video it was so informative
Please look into hormone therapy. I have creams I put on daily and it eliminates all hot flashes, increases your libido and helps sleep. Life changing. Make sure it bio identical hormone cream.
I’ve been on Synthroid for 60 plus years and just found out the Biotin in my multi vitamins is causing me some problems. I was getting 200-300 mcg s Biotin and now my multis have 30 mcg and it really made a difference I feel normal again. Thanks to a sharp Doctor who figured it out. God Bless her!
Thank you so much! I was diagnosed with Hashimotos 20 years ago and no doctor has ever told me anything about this. I am so sad suffering all these years with fatique. And chronic stress and no one has ever offered any solution. I take 75 MCG levo daily but that is all. I am so excited to try these suggestions. Bless you both!
I have suffered my entire adult life with Hashimoto Thyroid disease and have been on medication since my late 20’s. Your video and explanation and testing is amazing. I have been to at least 5 endocrinologists and none have ever done what you describe other than routine TSH and T3, T4 tests. Do you do video appointments and review labs for remote patients? Thank you!
I have Haslmoto and my Dr gave me D3, put on gluten free dairy and soy free diet, it was so helpful my joint pain is under control. Thank you for info❤
Hry ranji can you please share me your experience? How was your tsh level before taking D3 and after taking D3? I have been suffering from hashimoto from last 5/6 years and it has never been controlled. I go through so much pain
I just have to add, D3 is amazing for autoimmune disorders. I suffered multiple food allergies for 2 decades and am now 99% recovered due to higher dose D3 (13,000 IU/day) and other cofactors such as K2 (mk7), Magnesium, Zinc, Selenium. I used to be hospitalised with anaphylaxis after eating a tiny amount of egg, but can now eat several with no allergic reaction whatsoever. Many other foods, too. It's literally like living in a new body. Just wanted to share with people, as I think it's important for people to know the immunomodulating effects of adequate/optimal levels of 25(OH)D.
I am so grateful I found this video. After battling all of these symptoms for over three years I finally got to know I have Hashimotos. I feel like crap but watching this video has helped me feel a little positive.
Let me just say out of all the videos I have watched you are the best doctor to explain everything about Hashimotos in simple for you take your time to explain everything you need to know to heal yourself and what's best for you ! You are a great doctor ! Thank you and keep up your excellent videos ! Your the best !
Great video, I’ve lived with Hashimoto for 10 years it’s taking me a few years to get my body under control. Thanks to changing my diet and taking the right supplements and plenty of sleep, I’ve finally put myself on the right track! It’s amazing how Hashimoto disease can really affect your life! Appreciate you!
Such a awesome presentation about Hashimoto . I wish every doc could make like that. My wife is suffering from Hashimoto for the last several years and she is on medication. But we learnt a lot from you about how immune system, inflammation and food really affect the Hashimoto and can trigger other auto immune diseases.A big thank you from me and my wife.
Thank you Doctor! This was the best presentation for Hashimoto and I am going to apply the suggestions immediately. I am sure I will improve health wise.
Thank you so much! I’ve had three providers tell me that there is nothing I can do about my Hashimoto and that it would be obvious if I had a food allergy, so not to bother with diet changes. Education and information is really the heart of it all. Thank you so much for this video!
Wow 🤩 you made this so easy to understand, and you have a delightful voice. I feel like an expert in this topic after watching your video. Thank you for empowering us.
@@drrajsree same here..thank you soooo much for your info . I wish you were my doctor and was in the nyc area...i have been experiencing most of the symptom of this illness about 3 months after my ectopic pregnany or could be after my miscarriage 5 months after my ectopic pregnancy ...have never felt this way before only after these events of my life...but i am going to see the endocrinologist in 3 days and your video gives me insights of what to expect....you have no idea how you are helping so many people with this illness..you are amazing !!!
What about yogurt? It is a dairy product but good for the gut and vitamin D. Should we avoid eating yogurt also? I love the way you put all the information together. Thank you!
What an excellent video. I’ve had thyroid issues for years and recently just told it was Hashimotos. I had no idea. I cannot take synthroid ( levy or generic) because my hair is falling out at an alarming rate. I’m going to start with my diet and go from there. Every time I’d take medication, it would fix all the other issues but then my hair would fall out like crazy. Tomorrow, I will start no gluten( which I’ve slowly been cutting out), no soy, no dairy, no sugar. Thank you for this video. I genuinely wish I could see you as my Dr. I am in PA though. Thanks so much!
Actually, so it’s still a very new process. I’ve cut out a lot of gluten, trying to dairy and soy, but my levels are very high. So I looked into it more and synthroid and levo both have gluten in the medication. My Dr. found a capsule called tirosint that is actually a capsule that I’m waiting to get approved - it’s gluten free. Because if you have a gluten intolerance, that could potentially affect the way your body processes the medication. That’s the farthest I’ve gotten so far. Also, if you’re low in B1, this could also affect you ( I just found out today)
I was on Synthroid for Hashimotos for 36 years. Ran out of my Rx for over a month in 2018 while overseas, didn’t have any symptoms so haven’t taken it since. I feel fine!
Thank you so much for this information . It’s so sad that doctors in the USA, during my 15 years of pain and suffering, couldn’t and still can’t explain what you did in less than 18 minutes. I’ve done my own research to survive from Hashimoto’s and several other severe autoimmune diseases. Where do you practice? And do you accept insurance?
I'm in California, but unfortunately I'm not accepting any new patients at this time. To search for functional medicine providers, you can go on IFM.org Best wishes, RN
Thanks for including the tidbit - thyroid conditions can lead to other autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. Soy explanation is good and detailed too. Thanks.
Thank you so much Doctor for putting in the effort to make these videos for those of us who cant consult you due to the location!! Very helpful. My mother has Anti-tpo antibody level of greater than 1000 and we are already following some of these things but will incorporate the other aspects as well. 🙏
I started taking the medication I bought from Dr igho channel on TH-cam & surprisingly it was working gradually and in 9days everything stopped. I am really happy that you help me cure my Thyroid naturally, I pray that God strengthen you Dr Igho
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's as the age of 30. Soon after my 3rd child was born. I am now 53 years young. I do have nodules on my thyroid but none large enough to biopsy. I have hear through natural medicine groups this condition can be reversed. I just loved your video. It was done so well and easy to understand. I am an intermittent faster, daily, and this would not be hard for me to do at all. I already take some of these supplements. Not sure how "good" they are. Thank you for taking the time to put this information out there ❤️
@@tomasta1972 yes, I have no other autoimmune issues to my knowledge. I jog a couple days a week. Intermittent fast daily. Rarely drink alcohol. Eat pretty healthy. I've never done flu shots or any type of vaccines since childhood either.
@@karent1084 good choice not to do vaccines. I had a tetanus shot and my TPO went from 49 to 365 in a few months. I'm beyond infuriated on myself and the back pusher doctors.
Thank you. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's at age 10. I have also been suffering with migraines since then. Now that I am in my 40's, I get tired very easily. I have heard from one other doctor about the low stomach acid. How does someone find out if they have low stomach acid?
Hi Dr. Rajsree, I was diagnosed with Hashi's a few months back. Just found your channel - thank you so very much for the clear and comprehensive videos. ⚘⚘⚘
I learned a lot today. My Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody value was 1146 when tested last. I have no idea what it is today. I had no idea what that number inferred before estching this video. This has been quite an eye-opener to say the least!
just watched your video doc. im 28 and ive been living with this F**** thing since i was 15. especially the past 3 years all these syptoms, abnormal fatigue (like many many "days" i sleep without knowing more than 15hours because i need it), gut probs, etc., made me almost decide not to even have kids because i dont want them to suffer like i do. Because the docs i visited apparently only know the basics. Ill discuss your video with my doc and ill try all the supplements u suggest, according to my blood results. Mrs, Rajsree...just THANK YOU. hope is back!
I think this is the best video I've been about Hashimoto deseas, very well explained, all the information at once. Great job and thanks for sharing your knowledge
If you are in a hyper (vs hypo) thyroiditis stage, you can naturally suppress the thyroid by drinking freshly squeezed broccoli juice. Broccoli is in the Cruciferous family, and in large quantities blocks the thyroid, just like the synthetic meds do, but without side effects. Juicing the broccoli is the best way to get the benefits, it’s a pain to eat it raw in larger quantities on a regular basis. I’ve been maintaining my thyroid like that for 11 years. In addition, take Enzyme supplements and probiotics, plus vitamin D… no meat, gluten or dairy… stay away from sugar and alcohol, processed and fried foods. I tried going vegan for awhile but I was hungry all the time 😂
Thank you for the informative video! I’ve done everything you’ve suggested for 1 1/2 years. I’ve lost all the weight and feel healthy and energized for the most part but lately I’ve been suffering with more constipation. It’s weird because of the high volume of vegetables that I eat. It’s been about a year since I had my last thyroid test. Perhaps this is where I should start…
Thanks for watching and sharing your experiences. Yes for constipation, it's good to have your thyroid checked. Glad you're eating a lot of veggies... Magnesium citrate at bedtime helps a lot too. Best, RN
Dr Rajsree, je vous remercie et vous félicite pour votre sérieux et votre professionnalisme!❤ Ayant la maladoe de Hashimoto depuis 2007...Lévothyrox 100 rien d'autre...
You are so amazing. Your content was not threatening like the rest of the videos out there. Thanks for giviing me hope! I definitely need to make a lot of changes. Will get back to you after 2 months with how things are going. Currently im having TPO above 1000
Dear Mam, My TPO level is : 1700 You said one of the reason behind Hashimoto thyroiditis is leaky gut. So can I heal it with Pri biotic and probiotic foods? How good to have natural fermented food like dosa idli for hashimoto patients? With lots of love ❤️
Dear ma’m I have 304 TPO and my TSH is normal. Is this high TPO or moderate? I am having joint pains And can i have fermented curd?and what vitamins i have to take? My doctor said dairy free and sugar free
My doctor never gave me any thyroid hormones, she just gave me selenium and strict diet. My TSH levels got normal in 3 months. My Anti Tpo and Anti Tg were in the thounsands, my stomach was a mess, tired all the time, brain fog was incredible. Now I'm thriving thank God
@@carolinel966 low carb, high protein, in slight caloric deficit. I opted for Mediterranean diet, it is so far the best option. Though I'm thinking now of cutting out gluten, I still get inflammation now and then.
Great explanation and I found it very helpful. There is one thing that happened right after i stopped eating gluten that has been a problem. I lost 15 lbs. and I was 118 lbs. at 5' 5". Went down to 103 lbs. A few months after that, I got bit by a tick and was very ill from it. Took anti biotics and got better. That had put me at 95lbs. It's been 4 years...still 95/96lbs. I look almost emaciated. No one seems to know anything. All they come up with are pills...
@June The Joonebug My mom is in the similar situation as you. During the pandemic mom didn't visit the hospital due to overwhelmed health workers and danger of going to the hospital, so she didn't think her weigh was down. Then one day, a traumatic event happened, pectic ulcer and later on found out it was h.pylori infection. So she underwent PPI and antibiotics and eat liquid food for a month or two. We thought it was due to temporary onset of anti-biotics and liquid food that caused her unintended weight loss, but after a year her weight stays low, which is about 15~18lb lower than pre-pandemic time. I did some research online and it seems like in general, an infection or any inflammation triggered point caused some anti-body to increase, making it become autoimmune disease. However, hypothyroid should cause one to gain weight, not lose weight. All her blood work seems normal, no sign of neck pain, nor lump. No goiter, just a lot of muscle loss and fat loss. however, it's at a lower "stable" level similar to yours. I also cannot find anything online, but some say that weight loss might happened. Levothyroxine side effect also added "unintended weight loss". So that's my only conclusion right now. Her family doc only test for TSH and T4, but we went to other labs to do whole extreme endocrine test and found out her antibodies and rT3 is high. Anyways, you're the only one I found online that also have weightloss as a hypothyroid patient.
@@dknc7393 I am on levothyroxine alternating 50microgram and 75microgram. I think my dose is too high but they tell me my blood results are "normal". I do have energy but I have lost muscle and look emaciated even though my weight of 50kg remains stable. Also my heart runs too fast. Most MD's don't help much. Even the endocrinologist just tests TSH and free T4. They won't budge to try anything different. I have found more help from videos like this than from my doctors.
@@tjjurake3506 Your symptoms looks like your dose is too high as you suggested. It sounds like hyperthyroid, but was the initial diagnosis indicated that you were hypothyroid? But then, that means the doctor shouldn't given you levothyroxine if hypothyroid was the case.
Hi doc, My endocrinologists said TPO number doesn’t matter, once you are positive for Hashimoto’s that’s it.( she gave an example- the size of the mole on your skin does not matter, sometimes the small mole may indicate a dangerous cancer )She also said Celiac diet is not for Hashimoto’s, I don’t see any improvement in Hashimoto’s patients who followed the celiac diet unless they have celiac disease. Any suggestions on this? Thank you.
That response from your endocrinologist does not surprise me. The approach I am offering in this video is more an integrative/functional medicine approach.
Thanks, this was so helpful! My naturopath told me to take selenium for my Hashimotos but didn't explain why, so I stopped taking it. I will resume taking it now that you explained why it's helpful. I stopped eating gluten and my anti TPO antibodies went from off the chart to close to normal. I still eat soy products, but almost always eat organic soy. It sounds like maybe I shouldn't eat soy products. If I still want to be vegetarian what foods would a good diet be centered around besides the obvious vegetables and fruits?
Thanks for watching Julie! If your TPO is close to normal despite eating organic soy, you might be fine.... Best way to know for sure is do a trial off soy for 4+ weeks and see if there is a big difference in your labs. If not, then you can continue the organic soy. Best wishes, RN
Hello, great video. I wonder what you think about the role of Ashwaghanda in hypothyroidism and also would the diet help if immunotherapy, used to boost immune response in cancer treatment , has impacted TSH levels? Look forward to any insight you have as prefer natural approach.
This video gives me hope. As I walk out my doctors office in tears because he said there is nothing I can do about my thyroid issue. And that it’s irreversible. Is this true??😢 I’m starting today on key points in this video
I agree with you, Indeed God is faithful I pray God gives you lots of beautiful days, I’m David Greg originally from Spain Granada, I live in Austin Texas and you ?
Dear Doctor, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's when I was 17 and suffered ever since. Recently, worse so, with alopecia, psoriasis and extreme pain in my joints. My blood results as good, though and I have been refused any further investigation on my condition. I do feel, however, like there is a lot if damage happening in my body at the moment. I loved your video and it's given me a lot of hope for better days to come. Thank you🤍
Thankyou for sharing this comprehensive video. It also gives me strength to believe in healing of my gland and a well explained path to enable healing. Thankyou Dr to you and your husband. Grateful to the team for planning and making this.
I have hashimotos. Going gluten free and soy free sounds super easy to me. Maybe a tad tricky in some cases, but mostly doable with only minor effort. And I've already been sugar/sweetener free for 4 years. So no issues there. Going dairy free on the other hand... I just haven't found a good milk replacement, I suppose. I've tried LOADS. Almond, coconut, oat, flax, macadamia nut... Nothing can make things like coffee as enjoyable for me... And cheese is pretty hard to replace as well. Not to mention butter. Making eggs without butter kinda sounds like sacrilege lol I don't drink much milk (1/2 cup daily). 2 tbsp of cream daily. And between 38-50 g of cheddar cheese daily. And 1 tbsp butter maybe once a week. But I'm sure even that small amount is too much for hashimotos... Anybody have any tips on how to make coffee/eggs/sandwiches/etc still taste good without milk/cream/butter/cheese?
Yes giving a dairy can be challenging. I have found that adding more olive oil to eggs give it the creamy texture. Using other fats like avocados also helps. For coffee I’ve gotten used to vanilla almond milk, but some people like to blend MCT oil into the coffee to resemble using a dairy fat.
I use a good olive oil in eggs. I really like it a lot. I gave up on dairy for coffee, and then cut way back on coffee. I started drinking tea with fresh lemon instead. It was a huge deal bc I was so addicted to coffee/cream. Now I really don’t miss coffee at all. I use avocado in many dishes, including eggs, to add richness that butter used to add. Good luck
This was one of the most helpful videos I've watched on Hashimoto! Right to the point step by step! My endocrinologist explained Nothing!!! Just threw me on Levothyroxine . Thank you! So happy I found your channel! :)
Best explanation I’ve seen on internet. I have all symptoms but dr tells me I’m fine. Going to try some of your advise and see if I feel better. Thank you so much!
Love the well explained video. Informative. I went to many Endocrinologist and told me I had Hashimoto while another doctor said I do not. However, there was a duration of time. I also was put on Levithyroxine and was told to get off. Now years later my TSH is about 6.8 and my doctor wants again to put me on medication. Why is it most doctors want to push medicine? My firm belief is Thyroid disease can be treated without any drugs. Because drugs are just a bandaid and do not get at the root of the problem. Plus, all drugs have side effects.
Thanks for watching. Typically I also prescribe medication when TSH is elevated. Correcting the thyroid hormones is important since the thyroid is the "thermostat" of the body. However, the approach outlined in this video is helpful for lowering the TPO antibodies and inflammation seen in Hashimoto's.
Do not need medicine unless Tsh goes over 10, read many places while search . Change life style , loose weight if over . Once you start medicine , you are hooked for life because then thyroid start to depend on medicine so if your Tsh just little over normal range , do not rush for medicine
Great video..Much informative ..easily understanding ..and far better than all the videos I have even seen on hashimotos 🎉🎉🎉 Thanks lot for doing this🔥🔥
I was sent for a thyroid ultrasound due to high antibodies. The ENT I was sent to see for the results said the nodules I had were extremely small and that they would see me in one year to monitor them. When I asked about the inflammation that was attacking my thyroid. He said my thyroid tests were all normal and my thyroid was working fine. He didn't seem to be too concerned about the inflammation which I found very odd. I asked if I should be seen by an endocrinologist. He said he could refer me to one but that they would probably tell me the same thing. The medical system is very frustrating. I experience fatigue, brain fog and restless leg syndrome. According to this video, It sounds like these symptoms are all due to the antibodies my thyroid is producing. I'm going back to the Keto diet I was following which helped reverse my tsh level from 4.08 to 2.8 in 3 months. Hoping avoiding gluten and eating healthy carbs such as green vegetables will lower my antibodies.
Thanks for watching. Sorry to hear your frustrating experience. Yes you can follow some of the tips in the video and hope it help your health and antibody levels.
Thanks for such an illustrative and informative video. Diagnosed with both Hashimoto's and IBS almost a decade ago with horrible symptoms ever since.. my GP and endocrinologist focus solely on TSH which was 127 a week ago but pay no attention to TPO reduction. Any suggestions on convincing them to look beyond that. Thanks again🙏
Wow, what a great video. I have had what feels like a swollen neck around my Adams apple for many months. I have had a variety of symptoms for year's like Extream fatigue, digestion issues, brain fog etc. Just feeling overall like garbage. I have had so many labs including thyroid ultrasound. I have have blood work done on many occasions and my TSH always comes back in the normal range. With Hashimotos can you have normal TSH and a normal ultrasound and still have Hashimotos? I am stumped why I feel like I have a goiter and imaging comes back normal. Even had an ENT scope me. After researching Hashimotos, I feel like a lot of the symptoms match what I'm experiencing.
Check raw diet and lifestyle. Check TH-cam channels A place to Heal Gillian Berry Dr. Morse, etc. In India; there is a diet movement that is helping people heal myriad of health issues including thyroid. This is mostly raw diet including intermittent fasting upto 24 hours, juice fasting, enema, etc. The diet is called NDS (new Diet system) They add spices and herbs to make salads more interesting. Also, check DIP diet by Dr. Biswaroop Roy Choudary. Most videos are in Hindi language but some show the details of diet in English.
Yes, right now my TSH is normal and I have Hashimoto’s. With Hashimoto’s, your thyroid hormones can swing in both directions or hold steady. I was hypothyroid for at least 15 years and on meds. Right now I am holding steady without meds, but my antibodies are still high. I am fighting some fatigue and weight gain, but I am not having other symptoms. I am doing an elimination diet starting this weekend to try to get those TPO antibodies to come down.
I stopped taking refined sugar only , and maimtained 12hrs gap b/ w dinner and breakfast. Later started intermittent fasting for 16 hrs daily. After 3 months , my result My anti Tpo earlier 618 Now 95 Here my. Local doctor said u have lot of inflammation so u need to take medicine for life time. Hope I can come out of medication after 3 more months By gods grace I got ur video. I got to know about my hashimotos just 5 months ago. I am from Hyderabad , India(Bharath)
Amazing video. Thank you. I found out so much. I have hypothyroidism. I was extremely stressed to the absolute max. Depressed. Eating Badly. I had consumed a lot of soy milk I had a mercury filling. And was drinking Tao water. I was doing all I could do to get a thyroid problem without meaning to. I'm fed up with being told. your levels are Normal. I had kept out of the sun fir years as I got a skin condition from the stress of losing both parents. My doc told me to stay out of the sun. So researching. I've found out heaps that they Don't tell you. Eg. We need vitamin D. And lots more. 💐💕💐
I am Health Coach in Australia and I have lots of material about Hashimoto and other disease. This is very short and very good video explaining exactly what people really need to know. Thanks for that. I will watch from now your other video's.
Over 30 yrs and 2 different ivy league doctors and neither one ever bothered to explain anything about diet. In fact they only told me my level; gave a script and could care less that I was having these problems your video describes. So sorry I haven't found a Dr like you. You tube is a wonderful thing.

As someone who has struggled with Hashimoto's for 12 years, this is by far one of the most important videos on Hashimoto's on the internet! I recently moved from Los Angeles to Chicago and wish I'd found you when I lived in LA. This video is more informative than the last decade of visiting my endocrinologist. I finally did my own research (years of it) before learning the exact things in this video and finally getting on the path to healing. I started about four months ago and have gone from 150 mcg levothyroxine to 88 mcg (as my thyroid began to heal I could no longer tolerate the dose I'd been on for years).
My inflammatory markers have gone down and anti-TPO has gone down but still elevated (I was still eating dairy...cheese was so hard to give up). Now that I'm gluten, soy, and dairy free, eating a nutrient-dense diet, engaging in stress busting activity, getting the right amount and type of exercise, and taking thyroid supportive supplements, including getting my vitamin D and iron up (both were severely low) I'm feeling so much better and still have a ways to go. I believe weight loss is important because fat is not just a dormant storage system. It behaves more like an organ, secreting hormones and contributing to inflammation. I've lost 20 pounds since starting my health journey 4 months ago but have a ways to go. Thank you so much for this video. Your patients are lucky!! If I ever move back to the West Coast I know who to see. You are changing lives! You are a Godsend, you are an amazing example of the approach physicians should take when treating hashi's.
Congratulations on your health journey! Thanks for watching and your very kind comments. Chicago is a great city - I did my residency at Northwestern! Best wishes, RN.
Thank you for this comment! Glad you are doing well
YES, THANK YOU!!! I've been treated for Hashimotos for along time
Sorry, I got cut off. This is the very 1st time I've heard of Hashimotos being cured! Never knew it could!! I will watch this video many times and share with my new Dr. Thank you again for making this video for all of us!!
@@drrajsree hello . I trying to contact you guys
Do you have a number I can't call
Or how do I contact you .I appreciate 🙏
I was diagnosed when I was 12 and told repeatedly there was no cure. If there is even one case of it being reversed docs need to stop saying that. I wish more doctors would approach things holistically like you. Thank you for the video.
Did you got cured
Most important video on this subject I've ever encountered. I'm in tears, because I suffer from all the symptoms very much and it's affecting my entire life for years now. I'm still young and it affects me negatively in life immensely, in all aspects. Thank you for explaining all this, it's very important information and it should be accessible to anyone. I instantly subscribed. Shalom!

I’ve been battling Hypothyroidism for 10+ years and never knew much about it. It wasn’t until I started seeing a new Dr that I suggested doing an antibody test to see if I may have Hashimotos - my TPO tested at 1300 and I was diagnosed w hashimotos. Ive been researching nonstop on how to naturally treat it and this is legit one of the best videos I’ve seen that explains how to treat Hashimotos without making you further confused, thank you!!❤
Thanks so much for watching and best wishes in healing your thyroid!
How are you now?
One of the most comprehensive hashimoto vids to include medication, food and lifestyle interventions to both stabilize and possibly even reverse the disease!
Thanks for watching!
I am halfway in the video and I have to stop and applaud 👏... this is a masterpiece... the structure of the information is just incredible easy to understand and touches every component you need to know about this thyroid disorder which is a tricky and confusing one. Thank you! ❤

I have suffered my entire adult life with Hashimoto Thyroid disease and have been on medication since my late 20’s. Your video and explanation and testing is amazing. I have been to at least 5 endocrinologists and none have ever done what you describe other than routine TSH and T3, T4 tests. Do you do video appointments and review labs for remote patients?

I have Haslmoto and my Dr gave me D3, put on gluten free dairy and soy free diet, it was so helpful my joint pain is under control. Thank you for info❤
That's great!
Hry ranji can you please share me your experience? How was your tsh level before taking D3 and after taking D3? I have been suffering from hashimoto from last 5/6 years and it has never been controlled. I go through so much pain
I just have to add, D3 is amazing for autoimmune disorders. I suffered multiple food allergies for 2 decades and am now 99% recovered due to higher dose D3 (13,000 IU/day) and other cofactors such as K2 (mk7), Magnesium, Zinc, Selenium. I used to be hospitalised with anaphylaxis after eating a tiny amount of egg, but can now eat several with no allergic reaction whatsoever. Many other foods, too. It's literally like living in a new body.
Just wanted to share with people, as I think it's important for people to know the immunomodulating effects of adequate/optimal levels of 25(OH)D.
I am so grateful I found this video. After battling all of these symptoms for over three years I finally got to know I have Hashimotos. I feel like crap but watching this video has helped me feel a little positive.

What about yogurt? It is a dairy product but good for the gut and vitamin D. Should we avoid eating yogurt also? I love the way you put all the information together. Thank you!
I eat vegan yogurt. Specifically the forager brand. There’s plenty of non-dairy yogurts like silk, oatly and So Delicious
Nondairy yogurts are fine. There is coconut milk and other nut milk yogurts without dairy.
What an excellent video. I’ve had thyroid issues for years and recently just told it was Hashimotos. I had no idea. I cannot take synthroid ( levy or generic) because my hair is falling out at an alarming rate. I’m going to start with my diet and go from there. Every time I’d take medication, it would fix all the other issues but then my hair would fall out like crazy. Tomorrow, I will start no gluten( which I’ve slowly been cutting out), no soy, no dairy, no sugar. Thank you for this video. I genuinely wish I could see you as my Dr. I am in PA though. Thanks so much!
Thanks for watching and best wishes in your health, RN
Can you please let me know if this works. I'm going through same thing
Actually, so it’s still a very new process. I’ve cut out a lot of gluten, trying to dairy and soy, but my levels are very high. So I looked into it more and synthroid and levo both have gluten in the medication. My Dr. found a capsule called tirosint that is actually a capsule that I’m waiting to get approved - it’s gluten free. Because if you have a gluten intolerance, that could potentially affect the way your body processes the medication. That’s the farthest I’ve gotten so far. Also, if you’re low in B1, this could also affect you ( I just found out today)

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's as the age of 30. Soon after my 3rd child was born. I am now 53 years young. I do have nodules on my thyroid but none large enough to biopsy. I have hear through natural medicine groups this condition can be reversed. I just loved your video. It was done so well and easy to understand. I am an intermittent faster, daily, and this would not be hard for me to do at all. I already take some of these supplements. Not sure how "good" they are.

Thank you. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's at age 10. I have also been suffering with migraines since then. Now that I am in my 40's, I get tired very easily. I have heard from one other doctor about the low stomach acid. How does someone find out if they have low stomach acid?
If you supplement with Betaine and Pepsin and don’t experience any burning it means you have low stomach acid.

If you are in a hyper (vs hypo) thyroiditis stage, you can naturally suppress the thyroid by drinking freshly squeezed broccoli juice. Broccoli is in the Cruciferous family, and in large quantities blocks the thyroid, just like the synthetic meds do, but without side effects. Juicing the broccoli is the best way to get the benefits, it’s a pain to eat it raw in larger quantities on a regular basis. I’ve been maintaining my thyroid like that for 11 years. In addition, take Enzyme supplements and probiotics, plus vitamin D… no meat, gluten or dairy… stay away from sugar and alcohol, processed and fried foods. I tried going vegan for awhile but I was hungry all the time 😂
Thanks for watching.
What enzyme supplements are u on?
Thank you for the informative video! I’ve done everything you’ve suggested for 1 1/2 years. I’ve lost all the weight and feel healthy and energized for the most part but lately I’ve been suffering with more constipation. It’s weird because of the high volume of vegetables that I eat. It’s been about a year since I had my last thyroid test. Perhaps this is where I should start…
Thanks for watching and sharing your experiences. Yes for constipation, it's good to have your thyroid checked. Glad you're eating a lot of veggies... Magnesium citrate at bedtime helps a lot too. Best, RN
Add more meat (protein) along with good fats & less veggies.

What kind of diet?
@@carolinel966 See video for full details on the suggested diet for Hashimoto's.
@@carolinel966 low carb, high protein, in slight caloric deficit. I opted for Mediterranean diet, it is so far the best option. Though I'm thinking now of cutting out gluten, I still get inflammation now and then.
How long do you have to be on the Selenium?
Great explanation and I found it very helpful. There is one thing that happened right after i stopped eating gluten that has been a problem. I lost 15 lbs. and I was 118 lbs. at 5' 5". Went down to 103 lbs. A few months after that, I got bit by a tick and was very ill from it. Took anti biotics and got better. That had put me at 95lbs. It's been 4 years...still 95/96lbs. I look almost emaciated. No one seems to know anything. All they come up with are pills...
I'm very sorry to hear this. I find patients are able to maintain weight by replacing gluten with white basmati rice.
@June The Joonebug My mom is in the similar situation as you. During the pandemic mom didn't visit the hospital due to overwhelmed health workers and danger of going to the hospital, so she didn't think her weigh was down. Then one day, a traumatic event happened, pectic ulcer and later on found out it was h.pylori infection. So she underwent PPI and antibiotics and eat liquid food for a month or two. We thought it was due to temporary onset of anti-biotics and liquid food that caused her unintended weight loss, but after a year her weight stays low, which is about 15~18lb lower than pre-pandemic time. I did some research online and it seems like in general, an infection or any inflammation triggered point caused some anti-body to increase, making it become autoimmune disease. However, hypothyroid should cause one to gain weight, not lose weight. All her blood work seems normal, no sign of neck pain, nor lump. No goiter, just a lot of muscle loss and fat loss. however, it's at a lower "stable" level similar to yours. I also cannot find anything online, but some say that weight loss might happened. Levothyroxine side effect also added "unintended weight loss". So that's my only conclusion right now. Her family doc only test for TSH and T4, but we went to other labs to do whole extreme endocrine test and found out her antibodies and rT3 is high. Anyways, you're the only one I found online that also have weightloss as a hypothyroid patient.
@@dknc7393 I am on levothyroxine alternating 50microgram and 75microgram. I think my dose is too high but they tell me my blood results are "normal". I do have energy but I have lost muscle and look emaciated even though my weight of 50kg remains stable. Also my heart runs too fast. Most MD's don't help much. Even the endocrinologist just tests TSH and free T4. They won't budge to try anything different. I have found more help from videos like this than from my doctors.
@@tjjurake3506 Your symptoms looks like your dose is too high as you suggested. It sounds like hyperthyroid, but was the initial diagnosis indicated that you were hypothyroid? But then, that means the doctor shouldn't given you levothyroxine if hypothyroid was the case.

Hi doc, My endocrinologists said TPO number doesn’t matter, once you are positive for Hashimoto’s that’s it.( she gave an example- the size of the mole on your skin does not matter, sometimes the small mole may indicate a dangerous cancer )She also said Celiac diet is not for Hashimoto’s, I don’t see any improvement in Hashimoto’s patients who followed the celiac diet unless they have celiac disease. Any suggestions on this? Thank you.
That response from your endocrinologist does not surprise me. The approach I am offering in this video is more an integrative/functional medicine approach.
You cannot expect stuff like this to be school medicine...
Thanks, this was so helpful! My naturopath told me to take selenium for my Hashimotos but didn't explain why, so I stopped taking it. I will resume taking it now that you explained why it's helpful. I stopped eating gluten and my anti TPO antibodies went from off the chart to close to normal. I still eat soy products, but almost always eat organic soy. It sounds like maybe I shouldn't eat soy products. If I still want to be vegetarian what foods would a good diet be centered around besides the obvious vegetables and fruits?
Thanks for watching Julie! If your TPO is close to normal despite eating organic soy, you might be fine.... Best way to know for sure is do a trial off soy for 4+ weeks and see if there is a big difference in your labs. If not, then you can continue the organic soy. Best wishes, RN
Hello, great video. I wonder what you think about the role of Ashwaghanda in hypothyroidism and also would the diet help if immunotherapy, used to boost immune response in cancer treatment , has impacted TSH levels? Look forward to any insight you have as prefer natural approach.

I have hashimotos. Going gluten free and soy free sounds super easy to me. Maybe a tad tricky in some cases, but mostly doable with only minor effort. And I've already been sugar/sweetener free for 4 years. So no issues there.
Going dairy free on the other hand...
I just haven't found a good milk replacement, I suppose. I've tried LOADS. Almond, coconut, oat, flax, macadamia nut... Nothing can make things like coffee as enjoyable for me... And cheese is pretty hard to replace as well. Not to mention butter. Making eggs without butter kinda sounds like sacrilege lol
I don't drink much milk (1/2 cup daily). 2 tbsp of cream daily. And between 38-50 g of cheddar cheese daily. And 1 tbsp butter maybe once a week. But I'm sure even that small amount is too much for hashimotos...
Anybody have any tips on how to make coffee/eggs/sandwiches/etc still taste good without milk/cream/butter/cheese?
Yes giving a dairy can be challenging. I have found that adding more olive oil to eggs give it the creamy texture. Using other fats like avocados also helps. For coffee I’ve gotten used to vanilla almond milk, but some people like to blend MCT oil into the coffee to resemble using a dairy fat.
I use a good olive oil in eggs. I really like it a lot. I gave up on dairy for coffee, and then cut way back on coffee. I started drinking tea with fresh lemon instead. It was a huge deal bc I was so addicted to coffee/cream. Now I really don’t miss coffee at all. I use avocado in many dishes, including eggs, to add richness that butter used to add. Good luck
You can make a nice parmesan cheese substitute by putting Engivita brand nutritional yeast and cashews in a blender. tastes great sprinkled on eggs.

Love the well explained video. Informative. I went to many Endocrinologist and told me I had Hashimoto while another doctor said I do not. However, there was a duration of time. I also was put on Levithyroxine and was told to get off. Now years later my TSH is about 6.8 and my doctor wants again to put me on medication. Why is it most doctors want to push medicine? My firm belief is Thyroid disease can be treated without any drugs. Because drugs are just a bandaid and do not get at the root of the problem. Plus, all drugs have side effects.
Thanks for watching. Typically I also prescribe medication when TSH is elevated. Correcting the thyroid hormones is important since the thyroid is the "thermostat" of the body. However, the approach outlined in this video is helpful for lowering the TPO antibodies and inflammation seen in Hashimoto's.
Do not need medicine unless Tsh goes over 10, read many places while search . Change life style , loose weight if over . Once you start medicine , you are hooked for life because then thyroid start to depend on medicine so if your Tsh just little over normal range , do not rush for medicine
@@mnayak9348 the thyroid can heal itself. taking meds doesnt affect it.
Great video..Much informative ..easily understanding ..and far better than all the videos I have even seen on hashimotos 🎉🎉🎉 Thanks lot for doing this🔥🔥
Thank you!
I was sent for a thyroid ultrasound due to high antibodies. The ENT I was sent to see for the results said the nodules I had were extremely small and that they would see me in one year to monitor them. When I asked about the inflammation that was attacking my thyroid. He said my thyroid tests were all normal and my thyroid was working fine. He didn't seem to be too concerned about the inflammation which I found very odd. I asked if I should be seen by an endocrinologist. He said he could refer me to one but that they would probably tell me the same thing. The medical system is very frustrating. I experience fatigue, brain fog and restless leg syndrome. According to this video, It sounds like these symptoms are all due to the antibodies my thyroid is producing. I'm going back to the Keto diet I was following which helped reverse my tsh level from 4.08 to 2.8 in 3 months. Hoping avoiding gluten and eating healthy carbs such as green vegetables will lower my antibodies.
Thanks for watching. Sorry to hear your frustrating experience. Yes you can follow some of the tips in the video and hope it help your health and antibody levels.
Hi, how are you doing?can you share how you lower you ths?? And where you able to lower your antibodies?
love the presentation! thank you !
Thanks so much for watching!
Very reassuring about cruciferous vegetables
Yes indeed! Cruciferous veggies are amazing for estrogen metabolism and anti-cancer (have sulfurophane).
Thanks for such an illustrative and informative video. Diagnosed with both Hashimoto's and IBS almost a decade ago with horrible symptoms ever since.. my GP and endocrinologist focus solely on TSH which was 127 a week ago but pay no attention to TPO reduction. Any suggestions on convincing them to look beyond that. Thanks again🙏
Thanks for watching! Yes I have found that TPO reduction makes a big difference!
Wow, what a great video. I have had what feels like a swollen neck around my Adams apple for many months. I have had a variety of symptoms for year's like Extream fatigue, digestion issues, brain fog etc. Just feeling overall like garbage. I have had so many labs including thyroid ultrasound. I have have blood work done on many occasions and my TSH always comes back in the normal range.
With Hashimotos can you have normal TSH and a normal ultrasound and still have Hashimotos? I am stumped why I feel like I have a goiter and imaging comes back normal. Even had an ENT scope me. After researching Hashimotos, I feel like a lot of the symptoms match what I'm experiencing.
Thanks so much for watching.
Check raw diet and lifestyle.
Check TH-cam channels
A place to Heal
Gillian Berry
Dr. Morse, etc.
In India; there is a diet movement that is helping people heal myriad of health issues including thyroid.
This is mostly raw diet including intermittent fasting upto 24 hours, juice fasting, enema, etc.
The diet is called NDS (new Diet system)
They add spices and herbs to make salads more interesting.
Also, check DIP diet by Dr. Biswaroop Roy Choudary.
Most videos are in Hindi language but some show the details of diet in English.
Yes, right now my TSH is normal and I have Hashimoto’s. With Hashimoto’s, your thyroid hormones can swing in both directions or hold steady. I was hypothyroid for at least 15 years and on meds. Right now I am holding steady without meds, but my antibodies are still high. I am fighting some fatigue and weight gain, but I am not having other symptoms. I am doing an elimination diet starting this weekend to try to get those TPO antibodies to come down.
I stopped taking refined sugar only , and maimtained 12hrs gap b/ w dinner and breakfast.
Later started intermittent fasting for 16 hrs daily.
After 3 months , my result
My anti Tpo earlier 618
Now 95
Here my. Local doctor said u have lot of inflammation so u need to take medicine for life time. Hope I can come out of medication after 3 more months
By gods grace I got ur video.
I got to know about my hashimotos just 5 months ago.
I am from Hyderabad , India(Bharath)

Amazing video. Thank you. I found out so much. I have hypothyroidism. I was extremely stressed to the absolute max. Depressed. Eating Badly. I had consumed a lot of soy milk I had a mercury filling. And was drinking Tao water. I was doing all I could do to get a thyroid problem without meaning to. I'm fed up with being told. your levels are Normal. I had kept out of the sun fir years as I got a skin condition from the stress of losing both parents. My doc told me to stay out of the sun. So researching. I've found out heaps that they Don't tell you. Eg. We need vitamin D. And lots more. 💐💕💐

Over 30 yrs and 2 different ivy league doctors and neither one ever bothered to explain anything about diet. In fact they only told me my level; gave a script and could care less that I was having these problems your video describes. So sorry I haven't found a Dr like you. You tube is a wonderful thing.
So glad you found my channel! I'm happy to know the information was helpful for you! Best wishes in your health, RN
