Amazing! "Hashimotos Thyroiditis" here. I am blown away right now... Two years in a row, my wellness appointment/labs resulted in my doctor saying, your insulin resistance level is a little high, let's watch it. I am on 125 mcg Synthroid, I am extremely overweight, I had elevated Prolactin level which led to an MRI of my pituitary gland, which showed a 3mm lesion on my pituitary gland. Thank God, a follow up MRI showed no lesion. 🙌 When I discussed diet with my doctor, she told me don't focus on a way of eating, but instead eat 1500 calories a day and walk for 30 minutes. I don't need to tell you what happened with that diet... 🤦♀️ LONG story short... I came across your Instagram page and then TH-cam channel and I'm learning so much. Today is day 4 on my carnivore/keto way of eating and I am down about 7 pounds. I am so thankful to have found your posts. Thank you so much!
I have discovered that doctors are telling many women that they have Hashimotos. I work in a spa and have heard that diagnosis way too much. it allows them to prescribe meds forever and make pharma money. years ago it was fibromyalsa or chronic fatigue syndrome. they do a FOR PROFIT diagnosis.
@katrina I just found this video...been carnivore for a week with Hypothyroid... mom died of osteoporosis and cancer... How are you making out today
@@Messiah36963 how's that going for you?
I’ve been gluten free for 3 years and reversed my hypothyroidism! Then I returned to some creeping carbs in the form of rice flour pizza &chocolate chips, aka sugar. Ugh have I spiraled downward! It’s been 48 hrs since I consumed anything besides meat butter & low carb vegetables. Cravings sucked but the worst is over. I can’t wait for depression to lift & deep sleep to return. Zero grain for life for me!
Carbohydrates have never been so abundant as today.
It also hasn't been pushed more in our diet ever in history.
We have never been sicker, fatter or dependent on pharmaceuticals either.
Make of that what you will...
In the region where I live, there are entire grocery aisles (sometimes two) dedicated to candy and confections; cakes and pastries are on a separate aisle. It's troubling considering the high rate diabetes here.
@@atEase1775 that's normal. tf you on about?
love this guy. explains things so well. could have used his expertise decades ago.
Thank you 🙏 My Doctor has been trying to convince me for years that I’m fat because of my thyroid. Now I know the truth
You Dr Cywes are a brilliant doctor. Thank you for explaining metabolic interplay at a speed in which I can absorb it (not too fast and with moments of pause). Your pacing is spot on! ❤️
I'm very excited to hear that the thyroid can recover from Hashimoto's and return to normal function! My A1c was 6.2; now at 5.6, and I have lost 75lbs with 60 more to go. Using intermittent fasting (thank you Dr. Fung) and low carb. Now looking to start keto/carnivore to break a stall.
Love the straightforward nature of this video! Well done! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
I started listening to his videos right after I saw him on your channel! He's awesome! I have hypo and everything he says about how that should NOT cause anyone to gain or become obese is eye-opening. I've actually had it for years and have never taken meds. I managed to get to my lowest weight without meds so I can't use my thyroid as an excuse if I happen to gain weight!
This was so eye-opening! After being HCLF plant-based for two years, I developed a growth on my thyroid and subsequently had half of it removed. No one questioned my diet. I’ve been on thyroid medication for two decades. However, it wasn’t until four and a half months ago, when I started keto-carnivore that I’ve started losing weight.
Love it Dr. C - It is great to hear a medical provider tell it like is. I am so frustrated with people not taking the time to understand nutrition and to learn how what you eat and how you live matters. Getting healthy is not rocket science people!!!!
Wow! Between you and Dr. Berry I’ll soon be off any medications. 🥰
Thank you!
Same!!! 💖
Can I ask you how long it took you to get of your thyroid medication after changing your diet?
(was it Carnivore?)
@@susannechristiansen7132 unfortunately I’m still on thyroid medication. I suspect that even with carnivore I’ve been hypothyroid for too long to ever get off. 😢😢
@@jeanettehaygood4154
Thank you for your answer - I sorry to hear that.
I have had hypothyroidism for almost 20 years so I will try my very best but I will not set my hopes up for it (even though it could be amazing to get of natural thyroid replacement).
Just like with the Pernicious Anaemia/Vitamin B12 deficiency - I drink 100 gram of raw liver every day and will up it to 250 gram over the months and I will give it minimum 2 years before I stop and give in with it.
Carnivore.
Thanks Doc, I am afraid I need reminding constantly to keep off the carbs, just keep telling us that - it really helps to hear it. I want to keep on track, I am so much healthier without the carbs.
Thank you !! Finally I get some answers. I asked my DR this exact question, "What can I change in my diet and lifestyle to not need Thyroid meds and to make my hypothyroidism correct itself?" I was told by several dr's that I cannot do ANYTHING about it and have to live with it. I wholly disagree. I have a biology degree (micro and biochem) and I have investigated this and knew I needed more protein and also reduce insulin (I also had adrenal fatigue which I was assessed for privately). So I'm now living a ketogenic lifestyle. My question is - should I remove my thyroid meds? I think yes, slowly and eep getting checked and also check with how I feel. The fat loss is starting to happen but it's a vicious cycle with low thyroid and eating carbs because you are addicted to them... feels almost impossible to not eat carbs when you're on carbs.
After 10 years on thyroid meds (which messed with my heart) I had to get off. I went low carb, no grains or starch. I've been free of thyroid med for 5 years. A low body temperature signifies hypothyroid. I take my morning temp several times per week and it's almost always between 98 and 98.6 which means my thyroid is working fine on its own. Eating Keto helps greatly with carb addiction. Hunger is lessened.
Ramp up your salt, both NaCl and KCl, as you remove the carbs.
Your discussion of negative feedback resonates with my metabolism. On my N(1) experiments I have learned that my body excels at homeostasis. One example involves my leg and foot cramps. I started taking magnesium supplements and noticed an immediate improvement in HRV stress and cramps. Then, over a few weeks, while fastidiously maintaining the magnesium dosage, the stress and cramping slowly returned. It's almost as if whatever I throw at my body, it slowly adjusts some hidden levers and returns to set point. It's frustrating, and this pattern has repeated so often that I no longer believe supplementation is of any practical effectiveness.
That settles it for me. Had I found you 3 years ago, you could have saved me boat loads of money! Once I “fix my problem”, my next step is to be taken off NDT.
Wow, Dr. Cywes, I am blown away! , I am so glad I found your channel. You are making a very big difference in my entire family's health. We live in Orlando and I am going to try to make appointments with you next week.
Thank you so much. You make it easy to understand. Which helps me to pass the message. Please don’t stop!
The hands are grabbing glazed doughnuts , in my dreams .
Really nice to see a good explanation of how everything is related. Helps me continue with getting insulin resistance in line,
Thank you Dr Rob , it’s completely true in my case , these doctors mess ed up my thyroid and my health , gave me 88 mcg synthroid for 8 years , I had hashimotos , and after being on keto diet my thyroid got healed , they pushed me to take synthroid, and my blood pressure went up for one year , I had hot flash for one year and half , I was sweating repeatedly during night and they told me it was because of menopause , I got anxiety, got heart pulpitation , none of these doctors could find the reason , by watching great doctor’ TH-cam including you , I found that I was in heperthyroidism and I decided to quit synthroid meds and all of my symptoms disappeared, these stupid doctors don’t believe that with low carb diet and with great nutrient in your diet you can get healed , thank you very much for taking your time to inform us and give us knowledge 🙏🙏
Omg...thankyou...1st it was synthroid for hypo, then metformin and a statan.for pre diabetes.. the later two I threw away much to my doctors annoyance... I have been looking for this final key for 15 years. Rob you are a God send!
Can you do a video speaking on the benefits of low carb/ketogenic diet for diseases such as epilepsy and Parkinson’s?
Love your videos Dr. Cywes! You make everything so easy to understand. PS Love the beard!
@robertcywes, My docs had me on opiates for years for a back injury (Tramdol, Hydrocodone, Oxycodone, Percocet, Codeine, etc,) but nothing fixed my pain until I got surgery for my 2 herniated discs. I came to find out the pain meds affected all my hormones/HPT axis. My total testosterone was 45 (on a range of 150-800) my TSH was nonexistent, my prolactin was high, my shbg was almost nil. At this time I WAS NOT overweight, 5'11" and 165 pounds.
Fast forward several years, and I now take testosterone injections which make me feel better, along with HCG, and Anastrazole to control estrogen levels.
I also take Synthroid. My weight over the years increased to 245 pounds due to my sedentary lifestyle.
I was diagnosed wirh Metabolic Syndrome/Insulin Resistant. I recently switched to eating Carnivore to lose weight and improve my health.
Here's my question: I tried going off testosterone under doctor's supervision, but my body won't produce anymore naturally, so I need to take that for the rest of my life.
But what about the Synthroid? Since apparently my hormonal axis is messed up, will I need to take Synthroid for the rest of my life too? If I lose all my excess weight, and reverse my insulin resistance, will that return my thyroid function to normal? Or, since my body will no longer produce testosterone naturally, is that evidence to suggest that my thyroid gland's functio will remain impaired as well?
:(
God bless you, Dr. Cywes. Thank you for sharing this information.
Another wonderful video... thank you Dr Cywes!
So glad I stumbled across this video. Thank so much for explaining this so well. Thank you sooooo much.
Wow! I love your beard!! Excellent talk, as always. You are my go-to health guru.
I wish you were my doctor! It makes perfect sense when you explain it.
Amazing explanation! Thank you!
Thank you again and again
Amazing thank you
Educational and entertaining at the same time.
Wow, amazing! Thank you so much for this. I still struggle with a sugar addiction, even though I have been keto and recently more carnivore in my lifestyle. I have started to add Lugol's 2% iodine, one drop a day, because I do not care for much by way of seafood and I do not use conventional iodized salt. Your videos are encouraging. Thank you for the connection you made to the brain. When I do manage to stay away from sugar, my mind is clear, but I lack motivation. I think I turn to sugar to give me that kick of "happiness" that I feel is missing. I think I need to listen to this again and again.
Hello there, I have listened and watched a lot of long-term carnivores talk about this and how they try to get away from their cravings; eventually, as weeks and months pass, it will become easier and easier to abstain. When we were growing up, we were always handed candies and sugary treats if we were good kids or if anyone wanted to reward us. Parties, Birthday parties and gatherings were all filled with sweet cakes, cookies and treats for the young and old... It is very natural that we associate sugar/sweets with happiness and good memories. We need to learn to replace those sugary sweets and memories with more natural and beneficial ways which can improve our health as well -> it can be a walk in the park, going out with loved ones, enjoy hiking, biking, being in the nature etc... everyone needs to learn what works best for them and start making new memories without the “sweets” in them. Hope this can bd helpful. 😊👍
Wow!! Thank you!
Thanks again for your very good message
Love you Dr Rob❣️
Thank you for doing this video... Greatly helped me...
Thank you Doc, love this information. Looking forward to our consultation
amazing, thank you
Is it possible to be able to stop taking synthroid after 20+ years(under a dr supervision of course) if a person is sugar and carb free? If they were diagnosed with hyperthyroidism?
Like your new look. I also have confinement facial hair. Good videos and good information!
Good Lecture
Thank you!
merci c'est très clair, je vais ajouter de l'iode
Thank you 🌹
Any thoughts on the pros/cons of Levothyroxine vs Armour (desiccated thyroid) ? Is it perhaps easier to wean off of the natural one rather than the synthetic version?
@robert Cywes No antibodies but haven't eaten more than 50-75g carbs/day in over 3 years, and TSH is going up, 10lb fatter than when I started keto in 2017, less hair since going more carnivore last September. Added back in a prenatal to see if it helps getting in more iodine and the like.
Love the beard!
Please do a follow-up on this topic to explain the other side of the thyroid problem besides insulin resistance. There are a few main causes, but I don't know which ones exactly. (maybe other hormonal imbalance, lack of iodine, stress, etc.). Please advise or link a good resource.
Thank you.
Nice work I’ve started my own channel thanks for advice
great!
Thank you so much! Perhaps you could add the “benign nodules” topic in a later Q&A video about thyroid. Why do we have nodules, is low carb going to help us, what’s the connection of hypothyroid and nodules? How do they shrink? Is cheese bad for nodules? Thank you and love your new look 🥰
I am interested in that as well. The noddles and dairy consumption.
ça m'intéresse aussi pour les nodules
Thank you so much for the TRUTH!?
Good Day Dr. Cywes. This was very interesting. I have been eating the Keto way since July 2021. I am down from 200 to averaging around 145. I fluctuate between strict to dirty keto but stay keto the whole time. I have been at the 145 weight since December 2021. Just in the last 5 months have I been "diagnosed" with Hypothyroidism. Why is it now that this happened. If the WOE is supposed to correct issues like this? I just don't get it.
I have been on carnivore since July and put on 8kg. A 5cm long nodule just found on thyroid.
I have that video!! LOL just kidding...but what you said was hilarious! Thx Doc for the laugh! :0)
You look so good with beard 😍
Omg! Where do I begin ? I have been taking armour thyroid yrs, diagnosed with hypothyroidism! and I cant loose weight, I'm miserable!
Thanks so much for this clear, concise and plain talking invaluable information. Can I assume that Graves diseases can also heal with carnivore diet and that I can come off the meds?? 🤔
My thyroid and pituitary stopped working after chemotherapy and my pituitary gland has shrunk so badly it’s never coming back. Why doesn’t any doctor in the whole of the U.K. not understand what you are saying. I am on testrogel and levothyroxene btw anything else to them really doesn’t matter. Is it because they cannot be bothered anymore. Like “go away we saved your life “ just because you got fat is not our problem. I am on keto it’s my life saver. What’s your answer. Xxxx
I eat small portions because I get full quick and been on carnivore diet for one month. Have only lost 1.6 kilos while I hear others lose so much more. Difference is their thyroid is normal while mine don’t. I have hypothyroidism
Truth!
Wow yes!! My thyroid number is right there, borderline hyper!! My thyroid doctor still call it in range. I have 2 benign nodules.Trying to do Keto because joint pains and help reduce size of nodules but I cannot seems to get rid of the carbs. I also cannot take statin drugs, although my triglycerides and HDL improved greatly, (after adding good fats to my weight watchers diet last 2 years, but I feel like crap). total and bad cholesterol not that high. I know LDL might go up once I am more consistent with keto we shall see if my nodules will shrink on Keto. I see my thyroid doc in July.Great video, I just discovered you, my neighbor told me about iodized salt. I am going to get some. How much do you recommend getting some daily?
Doc, can you do a video about Cooking oils used in frying animal products on a Keto lifestyle 🥺
So very handsome...and informative
How about persons after thyroidectomy, on maintenance dose of armour thyroid bid?
Two years ago I had rotator cuff injury received steroid shots sudden weight gain of 50 pounds doctor DX me with Hashimotos then found I had Osteoporosis Taking Levothyroxine with No improvement actually feel worse - yes at age 60 became carb addict - how does menapause play into my story ?
Dr. Cywes I have been on thyroid meds for close to 20 yrs. I was morbidly obese for more yrs than that. In the last 3 1/2 yrs I lost 80 lbs from keto diet. Recently changed to carnivore . I want to come off my thyroid meds. How can I get my endocrinologist to work towards this goal?
Ask to gradually reduce your med dose. Your doc isn't used to this, so they may look at you like you have three heads. Take it slow, so the thyroid can wake up!
Michelle, your doctor works for you, not the other way around. If you explain that part of your taking charge of your health is to reduce or eliminate the need for medication, and s/he can't get on board with how you're approaching it, regardless of the science behind it, it might be time to find a doctor who will. Good luck.
I have to ask your thoughts on Shakeology. I have used it for years and it’s the only ‘carb’ source in my life and it’s usually after a workout. Can you give me your thoughts on it?
You're making me wish I lived in Florida so you could be my doc. Mine would just toss a pill at me and say "eat a balanced diet of 1200 calories and exercise" *eyeroll*
No word on treating hyperthyroid or graves. I do know that my glucose and insulin is involved. Doing Keto although my weight is only 90 pounds. Wish I could gain but high carbs are out.
I like your beard Dr. Cywes!
He is a very good looking man, coming from a guys point of view.😊
Oh God he is so good looking in a classical way. I would advise him to use Just for men to darken it a bit. He then will look fabulous. He can go natural when he is much older.
I use light brown on my eyebrows because they have greyed and my hair is brilliant Snow White. It save me buying eye brow product that I would have to use daily. I do this once a month take 5 minutes. I am female my name is screwed up and I do not know how to change it
It does make him look more handsome.
What about multinodular retrosternal goitre? Does LCHF stop the excessive growth?
This is why I use iodine and selenium with my main meal
Hello Robert....how many other "MD's" and others....come to you for "self-Tx?" How many refer to your base of patient care I wonder...and finally...how many come to learn or relearn the logic of Functional Medicine learning?
I've been following a strict keto diet for 3 months and recently retested my thyroid because i was getting jittery on tge supplements i was taking. I quit the supps, and my test was about 2 weeks later....TSH 10.2! My T3 and T4 were within range but in the lower end, and i tested positive fir the thyroglobulin antibody. I sent these results to my functional med dr and am awaiting his report, but I'm curious what's going on. I feel fantastic!
Wow. Keep us updated!
10.2 you require L-thyroxine.
doc make your beard grow it looks good on you
Damn good information doc! Don’t forget iodine, the research of Dr Guy Abraham and Dr David Brownstein have been invaluable to my own health problems.
Any papers you can point me to, to read more about this?
Maybe half of the 130 comments so far mentioned are how handsome you are and they love the beard! You have quite a following!
Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. I have learned so much from your videos and they have helped me so much. I take notes when I listen to your lectures and I notice a big difference in my health. Please continue with your videos. Thank you again.
Dude, you look great with a beard! Why shave it!?
It means all hormones are defected(imbalanced? by insulin resistance.?
Is tht right?
Dr, is adding iodine ok if you have hashimotos? Somewhere I read that iodine helps your thyroid but if you have hashi you shouldn’t supplement with extra. Your thoughts? I have no energy, ever.
Does underactive thyroid cause hair loss?
I was born hypothyroid and was put on levothyroxine from my first 6 months of life. Also diagnosed with t1 diabetes 5 years ago. Done keto and fasting soon after t1 diagnosis with excellent results. Sadly life went a bit screwy after a couple of years after that and i went off the rails... drank and ate too much, piled weight on and lost control of blood sugars and insulin use. I'm not in USA or covered by insurance. Any guidance you can give me here re carnivore diet that might help this please? Thank you.
I'm a dietitian, can I recommend this advice to children diagnosed with hypothyroidism?
But what about Graves’ disease doctor?
Thank you. I have hypothyroidism.makes me rethink Everything. I do take levothyroxine.can I come off my meds if I eat ver very low carbohydrates. Can I take lugalls iodine as I eat Redmond’s salt and not iodized salt. Help
Can you tell if someone has thyroid cancer from taking blood work from the arm
What do T-1 and T-2 do? Our bodies do not make hormones that do nothing. You have recommended Redmond's salt, but it is not iodized?
Wonderful explanation. Love the beard. 👍
Between 6 and 8 minutes in, what I'm hearing is that I may have no need for Levothyroxin. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 2 years before I was pronounced diabetic. At that point I went keto then carnivore, as close to zero carb as possible for about 4 years now. When I asked about getting off of the drug, I was simply asked why I wanted to do so since it's working. Dr. Cywes is saying my thyroid is simply compensating for the Levothyroxin, am I hearing him correctly?
What about destruction of the gland from prolonged autoimmune attack? Do you think it's possible still to come off thyroid hormones in that case? And in the case of someone who has been on thryoid meds most of their life, is it really possible to come off meds after fixing insulin resistance?
GREAT QUESTION!!!!!! THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW IS TO TEST. IT MAY TAKE A YEAR OR TWO TO KNOW BUT WORTH THE JOURNEY
How long does it take to heal insulin resistance when doing a long water fast which takes your body into Autophagy, I tried keto for 4 month, no weight loss, then I tried carnivore no weight loss, finally I tried doing intermittent fasting 16/8 18/6 still no weight loss,
Then I did an 18 day water fast finally lost 18 lbs I was in Autophagy for 10 days straight, I then started to eat for a week gained a few lbs that was expected, but started another fast for 10 days, my body seems to only loose fat when fasting,
Can you do a video on fasting and the process in which the body heals itself. Which intermittent fasting is faster to heal the metabolism,
And body functions, thank you
Petra it is simple to comprehend that we know nothing , we just need to get in the correct mindset to be the people we want to be .It will happen .
**** Dr Cywes, I have a resting heart rate of 48 bpm. My blood pressure is 175/80 at that rate. After an activity my resting hr goes to 60, my blood pressure is 135/77. I am athletic; bike 30 mile rides twice a week, jog 3 miles three times a week and swim a mile once a week. Does it sound like a thyroid problem, a carb problem, because my glucose is 105 in the morning A1C 5.9. I am 66 years old. Doctors are suggesting blood pressure for me to take.
You are over taxing your adrenals with your over training. Do resistance training 2x a week, high intensity interval training 2x weekly, time restrict your eating with an 18 how non-feeding window and 6 hours for eating. Absolutely no grains, no starchy vegetables, no fruits, no juices, no alcohol, no sugar, no artificial sweeteners that disrupts your gut biome and cause your pancreas to release insulin because it senses sweetness and no seed oils used to fry foods.
Eat meat with saturated fat, fatty fish like salmon, sardines, etc. Eat eggs. Organic green leafy vegetables, cabbage, and some amount of other cruciferous vegetables. Avocados, asparagus, real butter, macadamia nuts, the list goes on.
If you have no problems with dairy use only whole milk which has some natural sugars but much better than low fat or non fat milk. Heavy cream is good and so is cheese but not low fat. Fat is your friend with the right amount of protein in it.
@@dangersmymiddlename6341 Thanks I will try what you said.
Can you reduce the number of ads on your video programs?
Doc, I have half a thyroid and hypothyroidism will carnivore still help me? Do you take regular patients?
I do not have a thyroid gland. Should I just give up? Hashimotos. I take 2grains of Armour Thyroid a day. I have lost 45 pounds on Keto but have another 40 to go. I keep bingeing! I need an intervention. Help.
What if my insulin is very low but my T3 and t4 are also low ? On a low carb carnivore diet 9 months now. lMHR normal weight , active life style
