I switch to the low carb diet in the prologue of Good Calories, Bad Calories over 14 years ago. Very animal based. My morning body temperature at that time was 94. Had been for decades. I live in Canada. Most doctors only give the useless blood test. Not all 3. So never diagnosed. But I had also lost my outer eyebrows. It took 10 years, but my morning body temperature went from 94 to 98.6. My eyebrows returned. My hair thickened and actually started growing past my shoulders without breaking. My forehead instead of getting bigger became smaller. Bald areas filled in. And I was in my mid 60s by then.
After a year I was still having issues and was actually worse and then found out it's because I took the healthy carbs out of my diet so no this carnivore does not work for everybody now after adding back healthy carbs through low sugar berries and fruit and some vegetables and also getting on selenium magnesium B12 complex and a few other supplements feeling much better yes I did lose 60 lb but my thyroid and cortisol levels took a hit so no carnivore is not work for me. And yes I'm still on natural thyroid hormone everyday of my life
Well that's not what my nutritionist said I took the advice of my nutritionist went back on healthy carbs and things seem to level off and I'm feeling much better
Have been keto since Jan1st and carnivore for almost 2 months. Labwork is fantastic- my thyroid antibodies are low and decreased my prescription for the first time in 6 years! It works and I feel great!
Hashimoto's is an autoimmune disease so it creates antibodies that are measurable in blood. My Hashis kicked in at 34 and it changed my life. I take thyroxine daily. Im 58. With supplementation of synthetic thyroid i do ok. Carnivore is great and i maintain easily without hassle. My dog also eats better now i understand to get the animal goodness in: beef, lamb, eggs, butter, some fish - i like it simple.
Went carnivore and I now also take Lugol's Potassium Iodine and selenium. It's been 4 months and I'm about to get my labs done. Hoping, but I do know it takes time.
Carnivore 13 months now. Started Lugols at 9 months. My sweet spot is 5 drops per day which I believe comes out to 5'000 mcg. Anything less, I feel that I have less energy, anything more, I get this metallic taste in my mouth, and I can also smell the iodine in my urine, and trouble sleeping.

@@clintonmccool2330 The stuff veg are treated with are obviously problematic. Chem fertilizers and pesticides and glyphosate are one thing. Bacteria are another. Listeria, like they had on Romaine a few years ago, should NEVER be a problem in lettuce -- so either it was irrigated with, basically, sewer water, or washed in it. Best bet is to grow your own, even in a pot on a balcony. You'll still get the usual plant toxins, but at least it'll be free from the man-made poisons.
So carnivore drastically reduces overall inflammation to the point where hormone receptors function normally again but then all the environmental mostly man-made estrogens attach more powerfully to some hormone receptors in some cells and cause the weirdest most uncomfortable symptoms which then get blamed on the carnivore diet.
@@RowdinGaming-sf1lq yes, it does take time but it's far better than not being able to digest and absorb it properly.

Thyroid antibodies greatly reduced, however too late for complete healing for me. I will always need thyroid hormone replacement. Still will never go back to a standard American diet
There is a supplement with freeze-dried real thyroid gland from pigs (best for humans). The name is "Metavive II". You can only order it in Holland. It's much, much better than the synthetic version!
I have been on synthroid for maybe a decade. I have had my prescription reduced twice since carnvore. I doubt that I even need it at all now. Doctors are reluctant cut it off. I expect another reduction with my next lab cycle. I don't notice any difference whether I take it or not. It is the only med that I take, so I am not worried about it.
Imported hard cheeses, especially those made from raw milk, such as pecorino Romano or Kefalotyri are rich in iodine and easier to digest. Yes, it is carnivore
I have been on carnivore for 1.5 years. I started to supplement iodine about 3 months ago and one small little drop gave me crazy anxiety. My heart felt like it was going to explode. Im guessing that carnivore had fixed my symptoms and i was to late to supplement iodine. From now on im getting some doctors advice. Just not from the V.A.
Iodine is a halide. There are iodine receptors throughout the body. When the body is deficient in iodine , other halides such as bromine will take the space on the receptors. It may have been a detox symptom. Dr David Brownstein is one of few competent doctors who understands how iodine works if you care to research further.

I was diagnosed with Graves disease and thyroid eye disease is early 2023. I have been doing Carnivore since January and have experienced a huge improvement with my vision. Plus, I have not experienced any of my Graves symptoms since.
Also, when you lose weight, you have to adjust your thyroid. That’s what happened to me. I ended up with hyper thyroid because my medicine was too strong because I lost weight. Interesting.
Everybody is different, we need to remember that. I call my way of eating animal protein based. Not strict carnivore. Whether it fixes my thyroid remains to be seen. Regardless of what people say is possible, I feel better with the inclusion of some carbohydrates.
Nodules are the start of thyroid problems. Watch Dr. Brownstein’s interviews and start his iodine and salt protocols. Animal based is best for all hormones.

Research Dr Brownstein, with his protocol and carnivore you will improve a lot.
Yes it helped me but i had to scale back to heal my digestion. Need to better process fat to continue carnivore. Low carb is helping

I place 8 drops of the 2% in water and drink this everyday. Equally important is that I take celenium too. It's been awesome!
I been on carnivore for 2 months and I still have low thyroid thanks for sharing
Greek iodized salt. Yes, it has to be Greek. You're welcome
I have been for over year. Still hypothyroidism
Some people find adding iodine in the form of seafood +/or sea kelp caps. Deep sea fish, etc. Swanson's online has Scottish Sea Kelp

I believe your TSH number is considered subclinical hypo (~3-5), but if you’re not having any symptoms you may not want to treat it.
@@WolfieWoofWoofMeow that number was from a test done the day I started what I will call a mostly carnivore diet my last blood work didn't include that test, but my fatty liver is now a thing of the past apparently
Between 1-2 is considered ideal, but most providers don't treat until it's over 4 or 5. Consider Sea Kelp caps or adding more seafood.
