Let’s talk about the #1 best home test for hypothyroidism. It can be difficult to figure out if you have a hypothyroid problem. But, this hypothyroidism test will help make it easier to determine right at home.
Hashimoto’s is behind 90% of hypothyroid cases. Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune disorder where antibodies attack your thyroid.
When you have Hashimoto’s, you need selenium to help convert the thyroid hormone T4 (the inactive version) to T3 (the active version).
Sea kelp is a great source of selenium, iodine, and other nutrients for the thyroid gland. Or, just one Brazil nut a day will give you the selenium you need.
80% of this conversion happens through the liver and the gallbladder. If these organs are damaged, that could be why your thyroid isn’t working. The other 20% occurs in the kidney. Diabetes can cause weakness within the kidney, leading to a thyroid problem.
Gluten can mimic certain things in your thyroid gland. If you develop an allergy to gluten, you could also develop an allergy to your thyroid gland. If you have a thyroid problem, you should avoid gluten.
Another condition that could lead to hypothyroidism is estrogen dominance. In this situation, instead of worrying about the thyroid, it may be better to focus on the estrogen dominance issue.
Thyroid nodules are a classic sign of iodine deficiency. You may want to try my simple test for an iodine deficiency (see how this test is done at 11:45).
Symptoms of hypothyroidism:
• Feeling cold frequently
• Fatigue
• High cholesterol
• Depression
• Puffiness in the face
• Weight gain
• Constipation
• Hair loss
• Dry skin and dry hair
• Brain fog
The #1 best test for hypothyroidism:
• Woltman’s sign (watch the video at 9:18 to learn how to do this test)
Being proactive by doing the Healthy Keto diet and intermittent fasting is one of the best things you can do for your health. Check out my other videos to learn more about keto and fasting.

Thanks for watching! This is the #1 best home test for hypothyroidism. Give it a try!
at 12:26, I noticed an error. If you still see a yellow iodine color after an hour, chances are you have sufficient iodine. If it is gone, chances are you are deficient.
I noticed the same thing. The hypothyroidism video says that if the stain hasnt disappeared after 24hrs you probably DO NOT have a deficiency. If it is gone, has been absorbed, you probably DO have a deficiency.
I noticed it myself after watching your most recent video on hypothyroidism, was going to post it, glad you caught it as well.
Yes I noticed it and I was about to post a comment, but luckily I saw this comment from you clearing the issue. Thanx alot Doc.
The fact that you are humble enough to correct yourself makes you even more credible. It is normal to make mistakes, but to admit it and have the courage to correct it shows great character. 💙
Thank you for adding the correction here, but it might be worth adding a correction bumble in the video itself for those viewers who may not watch your other videos and catch the discrepancy and look deeper into finding your comment.
Thanks for the great videos 👍
I can't be the only one that thinks (about a million times), "why can't Dr. Berg be my doc?" :) Finding healthcare professionals that look beyond the stereotypical 'response' to various issues like thyroid is a needle in a haystack. Thank you Dr. Berg. Your work is important to us all.
As far as I'm concerned, he IS my Dr. I get my labs drawn through my PCP to see where my health stands. However, based on those results my treatments come from advice given from these videos and other natural remedy sources. I've already lost my gallbladder due to being uninformed and in the care of snip happy doctors. Not again if I can help it.
He can be.
@@Andrina-fl9ef yes you are right, good point! I lost my gallbladder almost 30 years ago(was furious after I heard about the importance of that which regular docs say that has none) and 14 years ago had a total hysterectomy). 😞
@@camicri4263 I feel your pain! When I had my gallbladder removed, I was told I would barely know it's missing. Ha! My digestion was never the same after removal. So when I was told my appendix had to go, I refused surgery and opted for antibiotics. Dr also said the appendix wouldn't be missed and serves no purpose. I was like so we're just born with spare parts? Really?
@@Andrina-fl9ef Crazy people! I don't know why they learn for 8 years to tell me that my body came out of an explosion and by miracle put it self together so harmoniously! Ugh!
Dr Berg you’re the Goat. My girl had stage 2 thyroid cancer and we got rid of soy thanks to your videos and today she is cancer free!!!
Praise the Lord! Tfs. To everyone reading this, Jesus loves you!!
@@88niteowl88 Amen 🙏
Riiiight
Wait, you are saying your girlfriend overcame cancer just because she stopped eating products containing soy? That would be amazing!
@@silvianencheva527 lots of Dr dont recommend talking soy products. Same goes to homeopathy.
My expereince. I slimmed down for wedding using soy protein product. I managed to lose few pounds..but it changed my belly structure into like tofu😅. Dr told me this when they faced issue sewing back right after c-zer .
It’s truly amazing how many videos you have on so many topics with great information. If every doctor worked like you we’d all be so much better off. Explaining the root cause and ways to know what that is rather than treating the symptoms is how all medical advice should be done. Thank you for all your amazing work.
That is so true and yes, many thanks. I send people here all the time.
● Spent a lot of time looking for migraine headache info. Sad to say, I found nothing on that. Still searching...a relative is having that problem. Very concerned.
Ok
Yes, I agree, we need more doctors to put in more effort! They just try and rush you out to get to the next patient. 🥺
@Cheerful Blonde I vote for him with you!
@@mariantreber8055 dr berg covers migraines too. Search dr berg migraines.
I rarely comment here, but like others have stated your advice has helped me in repairing my health and managing my Hashimoto's. Your advice also help me avoid an appendectomy. As a matter of fact, I was about to wheeled into surgery, but at the last minute said I changed my mind and asked if there was an alternative option. The doctor looked at me and very hesitantly told me about a heavy dose of antibiotics, which I agreed to. After viewing your video on inflammation and the appendix, I've been 2 years appendix pain free and rebuilt my gut from the antibiotic use. Funny thing is, the nurses and Dr even said I'd be back when my appendix acts up again or worse-ruptures. This had me scared, but then I remembered they have an interest in performing the surgery and stuck to my guns. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Most people don't know there are options that THEY have control of, like what they do or don't put into their bodies. Well done for turning your health around.
Wow I can't believe they didn't share with you all the options you could pick from but instead chose for you instead and decided surgery first. Surgery should always be a last resort and every doctor should know that! At least he was honest when you thought to ask, but personally, I believe it was God who helped get you out of there in the nick of time and turn your health around through Dr Berg's videos. God is amazing and He is using Dr. Berg to help His people.
Great that u didn’t have the surgery. Dr Berg is amazing but I think it’s maybe helpful if u check out dr Gundry as well. He talks a lot about Lectin, how it influences the gut. The important of Microbiome. Many of his patients/followers have cured themselves from Hashimoto’s, many kinds of allergies/autoimmune diseases, or other diseases.
Dr Gundry is pretty much inline with Dr Berg about Keto, intermit fasting, etc…only Dr Gundry talks more about Lectins. Gluten is just 1 kind of lectin. He tells u Where the lectins r, what they do to the body, how to avoid them. Not just in grains…His video “ur brain is NOT in the head” is also amazing

I WAS JUST DIAGNOSED AND HAVE COMPLAINING TO DOCTORS FOR OVER 15 YEARS. IM SMARTER THAN THEY ARE.
I want get a t-shirt that says, “Other than that, you are perfectly fine. Dr. Berg”. ❤️
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love that Bob Newhart humour!
Thank you for your dedication to nutrition & health education. I wish I was 30 years younger so I could avoid the misery of misdiagnosed, undiagnosed & under treated thyroid/liver/autoimmune diseases/chronic fatigue/brain fog, etc. I am down 20 lbs in six weeks, & feeling so much better! Looking forward to spending my days “Berging” your videos.
How did you lose weight?
@@lovefaith1856 intermittent fasting & healthy keto. Sticking to Dr. Berg’s advice. I am also working with my primary care physician, who’s monitoring by labs.
same with my doctor. he heals everything with meds
I wish I’d known this 20 years ago my mom had both sides of her thyroid removed on separate occasions and still has issues/ persistent cough now
Uh oh y’all, we done did it! Dr Berg is a verb now! I too love ‘berging’ on his videos whenever I can, tryina keep my health in check! He’s obvs the GOAT❣️
I like love the way you let us know that Google can cancel you at anytime without saying it directly.. you’re not apart of their Team.
I downloaded YOUR app
INSTANTLY.
Dr Berg you're the TRUTH in this life where most Doctors hides or they do not know much.
Thank you Sir Berg.
California 💛
Yes. I have been tested so many times for hypothyroidism. The blood tests come back as “normal” but I honestly think the normal range is too vague. I have a lot of the symptoms of hypothyroidism (and sometimes hyperthyroidism-almost like it bounces back and forth if that’s even possible..)and they even scanned my thyroid and said it was enlarged but “it was nothing to worry about-just check yearly to see what’s happening”.. never gave me anything to work on with diet or anything to know to help heal me. I react to wheat/gluten so I avoid it all the time, and I feel swollen in my neck a lot.
I have many family members who have thyroid issues. Totally testing myself now!
Most doctors including endocrinologists only test the TSH in the blood when they really need to do a full thyroid panel.
test for antibodies
Did they test you for TPO &TG antibodies?
Look into a castor oil pack for your thyroid and the whole body. Also, look into sea moss for iodine. Look at the video for real sea moss. If possible, get the sea moss from Ireland.
Same!
Thank you, Dr. Berg! I’ve always relied on my doctor for my health. However, many times I recognized my doctor doesn’t know many things but very good at prescribing drugs without a lot of detailed explanation to me. Since discovering your channel, I’ve learned more things from you than my doctor. Keep up the good work! Cheers! ❤️
You know, the part about being proactive is really important, especially as we get older. This channel is helping us live our best lives possible.
Although the world wouldn't believe in Herb's, I will because Dr. OKOUKPATO has shown me the power of which these herbs contain , It got rid of my 7 years. HSV1/2, what else can I say than thank you Dr okoukpato
Beautifully said and absolutely correct!
@@phoenixkb134 ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘 ❤️ 💙 💜 thank you, my dear!!!!
Thank you for this crucial information that no doctor ever told me, except a Naturopath in Seattle in 2004. Saved my life. You do wonderful work.
This is the absolute BEST informative thyroid video I've came across in years! Thank you very much, Dr. Berg ❤
Thank you for your honest health information. It’s difficult to find this anywhere else
This is Gold Doc. More appreciated than you know, all the best.
Thank you for being a light in the dark world of healthcare Dr. Berg 💜
People/patients deserve to be empowered, educated about their health, and given viable treatment solutions for all chronic/acute illnesses. The healthcare great awakening is happening.
This doctor is invaluable! I have been told I have R.A. SInce 1976. I have had those 💥 nodules just about all this time. I was told they are from the arthritis, not thyroid nodules. That misled me to try researching in the wrong places. Who told me that? A doctor, so he didn’t know correct information either! I have NEVER found a reason why they showed up and they are painful!!! They are around my elbows and ankles. They limit actions tremendously.
Finally a cause I can relate to and do something about! ( yes, I have low thyroid, too) I’ve been taking Iodine and T-3, but not selenium! I want these misleaders to be gone!
Dr Berg, you are a treasure! Thank you for these and all your information! 🙏🏻🎯
You are not alone! I was dx hypothyroid at 17-18. I didn't find out it was Hashimoto's until many years later after beginning to research and asking the drs to test for antibodies. Several refused but finally one agreed to test. My antibodies were through the roof. Not only that, but for over 15 years, they had been undertreating my thyroid and my levels were never in optimal range. Fast forward to getting on dessicated thyroid, I have begun the healing journey. Dr Berg has a more extensive thyroid health course. I found it very helpful
did Dr. berg say nodule around elbow or ankles.. all he mentioned was reflection testing..didn't he? though I wish he shows me better video showing the way of testing..

Avoiding gluten can also make a world of difference in how you feel.
Be well, friend.
@bina nocht I have those nodules. Glad to hear they will go away.
I’m taking thyroid medication for over 20 years and I still feel sick.All this time I haven’t seen great Doctors that listing and try to help the patients. I wish Dr. Eric could be my doctor. Your videos help me a lot.

What sympoms describe feeling sick?
Dr. Berg is the best!! Every video I watch adds a lot of value to my health and knowledge. He’s one of the very few that advises people on having a healthy lifestyle to avoid getting sick. After watching him for a long time, I can say that I really trust his opinions and knowledge. He also has that positive aura about him, that reflects how he wants to just help people. Thank you for all you do Dr. Berg.
Knowledge is so empowering and liberating! Thank you Dr Berg for all the great knowledge delivered in a concise , easy to use manner ! I’m grateful ! 🌹
You have a gift for clear communication. I tried reading about all of this and it just made my head spin. Really appreciate your videos, thank you!
The Achilles test... I'm not getting much of a reflex kick at all, either leg. Anyone else experience this?
the most trustworthy, knowledgeable doctor ever found on internet. Thank you for sharing truth and giving us knowledge.
This is the definition of a real doctor !!!!
This is insane that they’re doing this for a start 🤯 thanks for the great info
Dr.berg you are the best no doubt about it thank you for your work 🙏🏻

Thanks Dr. Berg, you are a blessing to humanity.
Thank you for the info as always Dr Berg 😊
I would love for all doctors of today to be like you! Hats off to your efforts in educating everyone. I would love to get in touch and consult with you
Thanks Dr Berg you are a real doctor!
Dr. Berg. Thank you for this topic. I really need help with my hypothyroidism. Not sure what causes it but still on tablets. You are God sent. I only wish you could turn your volume up so we can hear you better. I have to be trying so hard to hear you.
I like that Dr Berg always tries to recommend natural remedies, herbs and lifestyle changes instead of just blindly promoting whatever med Big Pharma is pushing.
God bless you, Doc.
Dr Berg, you are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I appreciate your willingness to use this platform to share information, your delivery is "hearable/understandable", and your gentleness is genuine. Be blessed!!

Dr Berg, you are brilliant and such a gentle, kind man. A thousand thanks for your dedication.
My daughter who is closing in on 40 has never tested positive for hypothyroidism but can’t get anDoc to look beyond the end of their nose. She has suffered so much having her do this test immediately! Thank you!
Wow, you are way more informative and useful than Dr Oz. Thank you
Invaluable Dr Eric... Thank You
Dr berg you take care of humanity you are a global hero ! You are an angel.
Thank you Dr. Berg for all the videos. They are invaluable. I suffer from this and do not have a doctor willing to pay attention to me. So, I'm doing my research and self remedy
Dr Wilson who wrote Adrenal Fatigue, has adrenal glandulars and stress formula that helped me gain back adrenal health after taking them for 6 months. Of course keto and IF have helped me so much too!
Thank you for all the precious knowledge Dr Berg 💕. Can you please address cases where people took radioactive iodine to destroy part - not all - of the gland and how it affects their health afterwards? Many thanks!!
2015 was major time for me, when i realized having issue with hashimoto. never took any kind of prescription drugs, but slowly digging material similar to your presentation here, and making connections, then hand picking supplements, careful diet planning, etc. year later, i was better than ever, even thought i became socially the odd one, not partying, drinking beer anymore, etc.
this year was stressful for me, my mom passed away, so i let myself go with unhealthy and fast food all day long, and now is the time to go back and revert to the healthy life style. i know all it takes to get there, but still binge watching all your videos - it is so exciting to see i am not alone in all this, whereas i do feel such when talking to ppl in my vicinity, friends, colleagues, MD.
thank you for such amazing content and support!
You are one of the greatest doctors out there!
I believe menopause tripped up my body and doctors put me on Synthroid in 2007. It helped, but at 66 that was the only med I was taking and wanted off of it. My kinesiologist started treating my pituitary and liver with supplements and I have been Synthroid free since October. It was pretty rough weaning off over 2 months, but I am completely symptom free now. No problems losing weight because I have been eating keto and 18/6 IF the past year. I have no doubt cutting out grains and sugar and fasting helped as much as the supplements. I’m still taking the pituitary supplements. T3/t4 normal and tsh normal. Thank you Dr. Berg!
What are they re the pituitary supplements?
Thnks
Sending this incredible information to my family and friends Dr. Berg. Your endless tools for optimum health and invaluable resources are priceless for the world listening. We thank you so very much! 🙏💜✝️

The MAIN AND FIRST REASON why I had a thyroid and adrenal problem is ... SIBO that I had for around 20 years minimum!! I had no help from doctors, had to do all by myself. I AM SURE A PRO-ACTIVE... FOR ALL THOSE YEARS, I was in quicksand, doing research even with very low cognition. It took a long time to figure it all out... HELL... But I am so much better now. TX DR BERG FOR YOUR HELP TOWARDS OTHERS.

wonderful, many thanks, blessed work
Very informative with new inputs on hypothyroid....thank you Dr Berg 🙏
Hi! Your videos have been helping out massively in recent times as I’ve been going through some health problems. Could you do a video on Vitamin B dosages? Thanks!
Wow that’s so interesting, you explained that well, I like the simple but effective test.
Thank you for sharing all your wisdom on your videos! May Hod continue blessing you abundantly! 🙏🏼
Many persons struggle with this, some aware some are not. This is useful information thanks for sharing 👍🏽
I had an atypical (for me) thyroid hormone test last year. It was "within range" so my doctor did not flag it and didn't recommend any investigation. I'm 63, very active, but have gained 5-6 lbs in the past year, and have other symptoms of hypothyroidism. I have been gluten sensitive for a long time. I probably don't get a lot of iodine in my diet. Will definitely look into this.
They always also say iodine is not an issue in western countries, but maybe it is actually something we aren't getting enough. Going to try these tests and see
Thank you Dr. Berg! As usual, your video was truly very helpful. I for sure have been diagnosed with Hashimoto's and am now on Synthroid. I would love to be able to not be on it, but don't know what options I have. I have been doing the Ketogenic way of eating you are recommending and have lost 12 lbs.! :)
Thank You Dr. Eric Berg 🙏🙏
Hey Dr. Berg, thanks for giving us a back up to find your valuable information! I humbly Thank You for helping my Life to be a more pleasant experience!!
Thank you for making videos like this! I was diagnosed with Hashimotos but my endo and primary rely on outdated/old school data that has left my body in turmoil, while doing nothing to help me till TSH stays out of wack, furtentl. I'm taking control and fix my diet.
Are you taking any thyroid meds while changing your diet now?
@@jappykinoshita4959 No, my primary won't treat based on symptoms, only tsh, which is constantly in and out of "normal". And the high antibodies with typical diffieciencies with hashimotos don't concern her.
Thank you Dr. Berg for providing so many much more useful knowledge that I needed! I had problems with losing my voice box a lot and all the doctors kept giving me were strong acid reflex prescriptions. My ENT just told me to lose weight. I didn't know how to properly lose weight and found your videos very helpful on going on keto and fasting. I lost 30lbs doing that. Then I started taking the vitamin Solgar brand you recommended taking Sea Kelp and it has helped improve my thyroid and mood tremendously!
Love Dr berg’s sea kelp. I take it with 1-2 Brazil nuts. Been helping with my energy.
Wow, thank you for keeping us informed regarding the information out there.
Your knowledge about the human body is truly amazing!! I appreciate your videos SO much. Thank you, thank you!!!!
Gosh, thank you!! I have suspected I have hypothyroidism for a long time and my test have come back negative and I have ALL the signs and symptoms.
My sisters test came back negative over and over then turned out she had it. I have hypothyroidism too. I’m also on a weight loss journey and it’s so tuff to lose weight with hypothyroidism, but I lost a 100 lbs so far and have 120 lbs more to lose.
Check your temperature before you move around in the morning. the lower it is from 98.6 degrees, the more you have a low thyroid.I have studied this and this is the best, easiest test I've found.
Great video
I just love his vedios and how gracefully he explains every aspect for anyone to understand. A perfect, poised presenter.. Thank you, Dr. Eric. Regards,
I TRULY LOVE THIS DOCTOR . YOU ARE A BLESSING FROM GOD 🙌🏼
You ROCK Dr.Berg! Thank you for helping the world. Fighting with Doctors for years over my adrenal glands issues. I give up I am my own doctor. ❤️😊
You're not the Lone Ranger oh, I've done the same thing as being my own doctor I didn't know what else to do. Thankful you're doing better God bless you.
Dear Dr.Berg.Please review the iodine test you mentioned on this video and please clarify if you meant the opposite: if the iodine is absorbed then it suggests deficiency. That's my understanding from one of your previous videos. But here you say if it is not absorbed you may be deficient. Could you please clarify thank you
I was wondering this too!
I thought the same thing too.
Yeah he got it backwards
Also for accurate results not any kind of 2% iodine can be used from what I have found. Should use povidone iodine which you use for burns etc
Same thing...
He is a true doctor ❤️
This is so good. THANK YOU AND GOD'S BLESSINGS ON YOU & FAMILY.
I stopped taking my thyroid meds, after weaning, last July. I suspected the medicine made me feel worse. So far so good.
*I knew the risks
I didn’t wean I just stopped! The medication made my life hell! My GP still won’t refer me to a specialist that knows how to prescribe the right dose, hell! My Gp doesn’t even test my t3 level 🙄 I barely had thyroid symptoms until I started the medication.
Thank you Dr. Berg for all your information! It appears you have made an error at the end of the video regarding the iodine test. To me the iodine would absorb quickly if you had a deficiency, not leave a stain after an hour.
What an outstanding analysis!
I have learned so much from you. I watch your videos all the time. You have really helped me.
Dr Berg your video are very helpful for everyone.
GREAT video, Dr. Berg!
QUESTION: Pls clarify how OFTEN to take 40k IU's of Vit D - Daily? Weekly?
Thx again for all of your helpful info and education!
🙂
I’m grateful for the information you have distilled for us. It’s coherent and interesting.
Wow, thank you! Always a treasure trove of useful, practical info
🙏🏼 Thank you for Standing with Humanity against the Evil Pharma
Dr Berg, I have so much to thankyou for. Fasting has been a miracle for me and I feel, look and work differently and better. I’m from India and a vegetarian. It would be of immense help if you could do a video on vegetarian or vegan options for a Keto diet while intermittent fasting. Thankyou
You need meat as a human being. At least eggs and other animal proteins
You can try almonds , raw coconut slices . Homemade paneer is a very good source of protein. If you eat eggs, then you can easily do Keto with paneer one meal and eggs in the other. Else you may go with nuts for 1 meal.
@@gahdzuwkz6647 no... not needed.. It is good.. But not essential... Humans, unlike other animals can get the needed nutrients from plant and dairy based foods....
@@NemysisPrime yes but animal proteins dairy and eggs at the very least….veganism doesn’t work
I'm a vegetarian(since birth) btw (not vegan), and and I'm now 30 y.o... I haven't had any problem so far...
The problem occurrs when someone suddenly turns to being veganism after eating meat for so long. Their digestive system is adapted to absorbing nutrients from meat (especially the proteins) and they get malnutritioned by sudden switch to veganism...
Ppl who are vegetarians from beginning tend to know what to eat to get the required nutrients which otherwise are obtained from animal based food.
Thank you for all you share! You have helped me so much!
You are the best doctor who explain so good .
I didn’t develop gluten sensitivities until I was in my 50s and going through menopause (I’m in my 60s now). I don’t know whether that was related to hormonal changes or due to the type of GMO wheat we have now. I tested negative for celiac. When I was young, even into my 40s, I didn’t suffer from wheat gluten reactions. Now, I do. 🤷🏼♀️ As far as controlling weight, my best success has been IF and doing my best to keep starchy carbs out.
I don't think it's gluten but the glyphosate
( Round Up) herbicide they use. This should be illegal. This and seed oils literally wreck our bodies.
@@jerrylisby3440 You could be right. Have you experienced the same?
@@Slivings911 yes I had gut issues with acid reflux which led to hypothyroidism etc
@@jerrylisby3440 Yes, I get acid reflux from wheat. It feels like something is tearing my tummy up. I can tolerate a little now and then. The symptoms pass. But if I eat too much it will lead to migraine and really feeling sick. Maybe you’re right that it’s poison, not gluten. It does feel like being poisoned!
I thought if the iodine on skin disappears quickly it means you are deficient because your body needs it. And if it doesn’t absorb then that means you have enough.
It's too important to suggest a method and leave people confused. He needs to clarify.
I also think same as you. Maybe he misspoke.
Thanks Dr Berg, you are the true Angel.
You're incredible doc thank you
Dr Berg, I’m in the 10% non- hasimotos hypothyroidism. I had thyroid cancer and full thyroid removal 14 years ago and have been monitored for lingering evidence since then. I’d love to hear about the Causes of hypothyroidism outside of Hashimoto and what I can do to help stay healthy while dependent on thyroid hormone replacement therapy.
Adrenal and gallbladder problems can cause Hashimoto’s.
I am confused about the iodine patch test. I thought if the stain went away it meant you were iodine deficient. Because the body was absorbing the iodine on the skin, because it needed the iodine.
Yes, me too!
Of it goes away within an hour. It will go away regardless but if it’s within an hour then you are deficient.
Great information as usual thank you
We need doctors that like you help people heal
Thank you so much ❤ Was told after blood work, i had Hashimoto's/Hypothyroidism and testosterone was 218. Been very hard bouncing back. Hungry all the time, cold,can't put on weight at 140 now. Brain fog. Been extremely difficult can't even work, because no energy. And when i look back about 1.5 yrs ago i was fine. But had gone to a dentist they freaking x-rayed me shoulders up probably 10times. Right where my thyroid is. just my opinion but,my health started to go down hill from there. Really appreciate you sharing because i really need it❤
We have got same story with you. After dental implant (4 titanium screws) and 3 x-rays, we got thyroiditis (thyroid inflammation). There is a strong link between dental implants (alergy or metal toxicity) and autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto or Graves.
Even root canal's infection may occur hypo or hyperthroid.
There is so many high ranking academic articles on this topic.
By the way, I hope you are well now.
I've read several articles on iodine painting tests and yours is the opposite of what the others are saying, that is it should take 18 to 24 hours for the iodine to disappear if you are not deficient, quicker absorption means you are deficient. It seems logical to me that if you are deficient it would be absorbed quicker.
Correct
I can't thank you enough Dr derg...U have definitely impacted on my health to greater extent
great vid Dr B ... thank you.
Hi Dr Berg, You recommended Thytrophin PMG made by Standard Process for hypothyroidism over a year ago. It helped me to level off my thyroid plus the diet you recommended. Can I continue to take the Thytrophin PMG or is it recommnded for short period of time. Thank you so much .
Dr Berg, you say 1 Brazil nut a day. How do we test that our levels are absorbing the selenium? Thank you, love your videos very informative.
Awesome question.
I have so much respect and admiration to this Doctor. Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge with us.
And by the way, you look amazing with the beard.
Brilliant! Much admiration for you, dear Sir 🎆
