Breast implant illness is real for EVERYONE with breast implants. No one is an exception. SOOO thankful I got mine removed a few months ago after having them for 15 years! People also are clueless how lip filler and botox can cause so many of these same issues shes talking about, on top of a diet eating extremely processed foods for every meal. Autoimmune issues are not the root cause, they are a symptom
You are 100% accurate! So many people overlook the damage that Botox/fillers can do as well as breast implants. It’s scary stuff.
Yesss! I had mine for 13 years and didn't know what it was doing to me. I have RA now. But I was worse off when they were still in. My family was afraid for me and my health. I constantly tell anyone I can so people are aware of what they can do to you. So glad you got yours out! ❤
A thousand percent YES. People need to be more aware of this is today’s vanity culture
Agreed 100%. I only had mine 2 years before I had to explant.
Preach ! The UTAH Mom “plastic” culture is out of hand ! 🤢
Girl you have been through a lot! So happy for you finding some help with your health. Life is full of challenges and learning experiences isn’t it? At the end of the day, I just have to remind myself: who am I, what is my purpose on earth, and what matters most. ❤ all things WILL work together for our good in the end if we endure it well. I truly believe that.
Love it! I’d love to see a video of how you’ve changed grocery shopping/ what you buy now/what your kids eat since learning about processed foods, etc
Right? Since she has been pushing and teaching cheap food for years !! She made her name from teaching people how to buy cheap food . The cheaper the better , until then you are struggling with health issues .
@@lenakam4947AMEN!
It’s hard. I was influenced by her how to buy groceries then I read labels and learned what to actually buy. ITS EXPENSIVE. Not even joking you. But it’s cheaper to put chemicals and preservatives in food vs the handle and care that goes into better food for you.
@@lenakam4947 not speaking for Jordan, but I did notice she said she didn’t change how the rest of her family ate when she was figuring out her health issues. I doubt she fed her kids the way she now eats…I mean 8 kids are no small task😳
I’m so happy that you’re feeling better and have answers.
God bless you & your family ❤
This might be the most important video you have ever done. Society will be better off when functional medicine is the "new" norm. I think everyone truly wants to cure or manage the underlying problem, not just treat the symptoms. Yet, we have been "brainwashed" in a sense to believe that a pill is the "cure". Videos like this will help normalize it because many people do feel like functional medicine is crunchy and "doesn't really" work. I used to feel the same. I have slowly opened my eyes to the benefits of functional medicine, but it has taken years and I just happened to stumble upon it. Videos like this will help normalize it because many people feel like functional medicine is crunchy and "doesn't really" work. I applaud you for making this video and helping to get the word out. And just think of how much money health insurance companies would save if they supported "health care", not "sick care".
Nurse here, I think maybe that’s partially right but I’d say 90% of the issue is people insist their cure only comes in a prescription. Doctors tdays always try and discuss diet and lifestyle changes but it falls on def ears. 2 perfect examples I’ve dealt with this week alone. Patient is fighting kidney failure. I handed this person 8 pills in the morning. 6 of them vitamins and supplements, 1 a pain pill and 1 blood pressure medication. They handed me back to vitamin. (They have no numerical stamp on the side). They said they are taking these even after I explained that it’s important to healing. Lunch rolls around they insist on a coke. I explained that the 3+ pitting edema in their legs is exacerbated by sodium and should be cut out or down to 1500mg. They say “well that’s what dialysis is for” patient 2 brings in a toddler that’s got a cold. Dr says to drink lots of fluid and good food. Mom INSISTS doctor is not treating her kid because he won’t give antibiotics even tho we explain it does not work for colds or the flu and can be damaging. Oh also, or 1 are constipated and want meds. We explain movement is the best remedy for constipation, they say they can’t walk because if the fluid in their legs. So people insist on meds and refuse to believe lifestyle changes can fix/prevent things. Look at the 470 million people with type 2 diabetes (that’s preventable) instead of diet of exercise, they get insulin. It’s sad. It’s people that’s the issue, not the medical industry
@@rockstarmom3121 the medical industry made people like that . People usually trust the doctor without question , so they are used to getting a pill every time they come in to be treated . So when a good doctor shows up and tries to actually help , the people refuse that kind of help . Also all the propaganda commercials for pharmaceuticals that say “ask your doctor for this pill today” 😂
The correlation between blood sugar- cortisol levels- and the autoimmune response is mind blowing! Such a great interview. Im so glad you are feeling better! ❤❤❤
B.I.I (Breast Implant Illness) is also a fairly new discovery where the medical field is finding a lot of women’s health issues and symptoms are actually coming from having breast implants. The foreign objects in the body cause the immune system to be in a constant state of attack trying to figure out how to get rid of them, and it causes so many other health problems. Idk if Jordan has breast implants but if she does she should also look into that! A lot of women who get theirs out via explant surgery feel better instantly, Crystal Hefner and Lauryn Bosstick talks about their journey for anyone interested.
Yes she removed one set of toxins and added another.
It’s a safe bet that she has breast implants.
This was so good! I have Grave's Disease but thankfully I haven't been as sick as you. However, I got to the point of I don't care anymore of how I eat or just taking care of myself because I was soooo tired and fatigued! My endo doctor only does more "traditional" bloodwork and doesn't want to talk to me about adrenal fatigue, he says that's not a "real" term in the medical field. Anyway, I got so tired of being tired and I got so tired of telling him that I felt terrible and he did nothing to help me. So, I found a functional medicine doctor in my area and we have been on a journey together for about three months now. The elimination diet is soooo hard and I have to admit I haven't done very well on it. So proud of you Jordan for working so hard on your diet! Thank you for sharing your journey with us! Thank you Dr. Redd for your advice and your honesty.
Glad to see you back on TH-cam on the regular!
Hi Jordan, I am so happy to hear you are feeling better! Dr. Redd sounds like a great doctor! My father is also a chiropractor and I see a naturopath, so I am a firm believer in holistic medicine and addressing root cause.
My question is, now that you are focused on addressing underlying triggers that cause inflammation and auto immune issues, have you considered removing your breast implants?
I had mine removed about 4 years ago after developing Breast Implant Illness. I had many of the symptoms you described- horrible brain fog, insomnia, hair loss, daily heart palpitations and tachycardia, extreme fatigue, migraines, chronic sinus issues, stomach problems, etc.. Breast Implant Illness sadly gets overlooked in so many women! I am wondering if Dr. Redd has addressed this?
I have seen several women end up with a number of auto immune conditions, such as Graves Disease and Hashimotos that were actually triggered by their implants, and could not fully heal until they were removed. Life stressors and poor diet certainly trigger these as well. In my healing journey I had to address these as well, but removing my implants was by far the greatest thing I did for my body. I chose to get them after having 4 kids and had no idea at the time how sick they would make me. I have learned so much since then. I wish you all the best in your healing journey! ❤️
Thank you for bringing this to us! I have hashimotos which didn’t get picked up until I was pregnant and had a more in depth blood test. I’ve always been interested in a more natural way of healing and this in depth explanation really helped me understand how it all works! Definitely going to look into naturopaths asap! Thank you so much!
I just turned 40 & I’ve been dealing with the symptoms of hashimotos hypothyroidism since I was 13. I have done everything on my own because I can not find a doctor that will even admit that hashimotos is a thing. Meanwhile, I’m diagnosed with new autoimmune diseases all the time. I’m glad to see so many stories of women just being diagnosed and getting help immediately, but it sure is frustrating not finding that help myself.
Check out neisha salas berry and her husband dr Ken Berry. She has hashimotos and in remissio. they have great info.
I went to a similar chiropractic wellness place for my 11 year old daughter who has severe hashimoto's. We spent almost $1000 on an x-ray, supplements, and an allergy test that was going to cost $300 more for them to give us the results. I could not afford to go back. I do believe in lifestyle medicine with all my heart. It is just sad that only the wealthy can afford it.
My point exactly
My insurance allows me to submit these receipts. I just write out of network on the top and send them to them. They then send me a check for 80% of the cost. Just throwing it out there in case it hasn’t been too long and you can try this. They do not reimburse me for supplements though.
@@vchafab thank you so much for sharing this tip!!
You don’t have to be wealthy to start eating the right foods and stop processed food. It’s killing society. Gods foods can heal you immensely! God Bless. 🙏
Some insurances do have In network Chiropractors and holistic providers that are covered.
Red River helped me with Hashimotos. Grateful for what they’ve taught me! Feeling much better but still have to be diligent with my diet and nutrition.
If you don't mind sharing, What changes have you made? I was told I have hashimoto's and to cut out gluten.
I feel as though I have symptoms of this. 😔 I have not been tested, but need to look into this. Thank you for sharing.
PREACH!!!! This holostic and to the source way of living is how I have been living for the past four year! SO amazing. Can you pick his brain about menieres disease! I am 25 years old and having a debilitating disease is upsetting. I am at a principled chiropractor and the episodes I have are a lot light but, still having episodes!
So happy you found some amazing help! I was hoping to see on their site that they could help Lupus but I don’t see that. Still so happy for you ❤
I had Graves disease too then had iodine treatment. Now I have hypothyroidism and Addidson's disease (which nearly killed me last year, thank God for the doctors and nurses at the hospital) Hormonal issues have such a huge impact on our health. ❤ to you.
I have Addison's too, scary
Were you in coma? I was in coma 4 years ago, better now
So many of these symptoms are resonating. 😢 For those of us who live on the other side of the country (South Florida), can you help guide us- what kind of doctors should we be looking for to get to the root issue? Naturpedic? Osteopathic? Tell us the key words to use to find a good doc if you’re having these kinds of symptoms.
Honestly, what an eye-opening video.
I am so happy you are better, I have been praying that God would lead you to functional medicine and that you would follow His lead. As a person with a hashimoto diagnosis, the daughter, sister, and neice of three people with Graves disease I am so thankful you made this video about Graves disease. It is less common, and even though I use functional medicine approach to manage hashimotos in myself, it has been challenging to share the message of healing is similar with Graves disease. Especially in a pill/surgery focused environment. I do see they can be blended now, affer I cooled off being angry that despite my begging the endocrinologist for how to manage it and he not given me any solutions other than a pill. Sometimes the medicine helps calm the flare, but it needs to be a lifestyle change to truly heal. Thank you to both of you for making this video, I pray it is used to guide others into healing!
Didn’t mention Brest implants and tummy tuck…lots of people have issues with their implants.
I have Hashimoto’s and I have been this sick, I was literally nodding in agreement with you while you spoke of your symptoms of feeling tired, hair falling out. I waited until 6mo because I too thought it was normal pp symptoms after having a baby. After the 6mo I didn’t see or feel a change and went to see a PA which thankfully listened and did a full thyroid panel and sure enough my antibodies where high. From there I saw one ENDO and he was the worst, then I learned of integrative medicine, they diagnosed me and things have gotten better from there.
What about the breast implants?
Thanks for this informative video Jordon and Dr. Redd. My husband has Graves Disease and is "in remission", on a very low dose of meds, but continues to have symptoms like insomnia and the feeling that his whole body is vibrating inside. The Red River website provides a lot of information about Hashimoto's Disease, will you be writing a booklet for Graves Disease as well? thanks
I'm really impressed with this quality video Jordan. I like how Dr. Red is not against conventional medicine but working with it when needed. Sometimes it will takes both to get to the bottom of the health issue.
I out of the clear blue sky have what was labeled as an auto-immune disorder- Aplastic Anemia, I sure wish your Dr. was near me since I think I need more than conventional meds which has its side effects. We need more of these kind of doctors.
Oh I had the same type of holistic chiropractor. It’s like an MLM practically. Of course Jordan would support that. They don’t take insurances half of the time. Mine took completely advantage of me and my pregnancy. Good luck.
Agree!!
What he’s saying is however medically correct (I have no idea if this is an mlm or not).
Thankfully the editing is toned down on this video!! The last two made my brain spin.
Great video! Glad you’re feeling better ❤
I had my bottom wisdom tooth removed today say a prayer
This is what budget eating will get you, sick! Don’t go for cheap, go for wholesome, healthy foods!
Totally, but its her brand, is what she's selling, but you can see they don't eat well at all
Yep 100% you spend the money on nutritious & wholesome foods now or you spend it on medicine & health treatments later when your body is failing.
I don’t think the budgets was the issue, she buys tons to unprocessed stuff, but the lack of education around her health and how should be the food prepared.
Just saw him on The Real Alex Clark recently and loved his insight! Excited to hear this video.
This is so strange for me as a doctor, because in Germany Morbus Basedow (= Graves disease in our medical terms) would have been one of the first things to be checked for. Noticed those differences between Europe/USA before (concerning another topic). Glad you are getting better now. All the best!
where would you find a person like dr. redd? I have Basedow and many of her symptoms. my Hausarzt says she doesn't know how else to help and the Endocrinologist only changed the dose of my meds. I want proper help. can you suggest sth? Thanks
@@mariannerady1137 I don't know where you are from, but have you tried an outpatient clinic (endokrinologische Ambulanz) at an university hospital? They are usually better specialized for severe cases. I know that we have specialists with research focus in our area.
she had to have had a terrible doctor. I'm not a doctor, I just have family with various autoimmune disorders, and it was obvious to me what was wrong just by hearing her symptoms and looking at her.
@@LaughingLady89 I live near the Bodensee. Thanks so much for your help, I will look if I find sth close by. My Endocinologist is at the hospital but he doesn't help me holistically. I appriciate your advice!
I started with a functional medicine doctor this year and I love her!
This video was really informative, and it's wonderful to hear about your long-term progress! Just a thought, but both of you might also benefit from seeing an airway centric provider to consider tongue tie releases. It might be the cherry on top of the lining your whole system!
And, the breast implants???
Thank you so much for this video! I think about you regularly and wondered what happened and this is such an important educational push for many, I think. Ive been having some of these symptoms but with weight gain, the brain fog is sooooo bad. I will make an appointment with my MD right away and have a serious talk with him. And also google dr Josh’s clinic. I live in Germany so it’d be good to find something comparable here (although I doubt there is…)
I love this video. Thank you for doing this and sharing your story. If I would share all of the issues I have that I take medicine for that I never thought I would be taking at the age of 37 and still feel like half of myself. I believe in modern medicine but have always been interested in other types of medicine that could help in anyway. I feel like getting a hold of your doctor or that team might help me as no one can tell me how I went from just having migraines to having migraines with tachycardia along with other medical issues.
This video was amazing. Very helpful as I’m writing an assignment on different immune responses for different diseases.
So glad you’re doing okay now ❤️ Can we please see a video on your meal plan cookbooks xx
Does POTS fit into this category? A lot of this sounds similar to what I experience. Super loved a lot of this.
Yes!
Really enjoyed this informative video. Thanks for sharing your story for others
I didnt watch the whole video but I hope you are well.
I work in this area and you need to go see an ophthalmologist to make sure they monitor your eyes for thyroid eye disease
I’m Listening ‼️
Wish I knew all this before I had to get my thyroid removed.
Have u been changing how u feed the family now? Trying to switch to Whole Foods more?
Graduating chiropractic school “without ever adjusting a patient” is not possible, btw 😏 Makes this guy seem like a phony, just saying.
I think he said after graduating he didn't adjust any patients.
In my opinion, some of these functional medicine doctors and chiropractors treat lab results that aren't significant enough to require medical treatment and can do more harm than good. Especially when it comes to thyroid issues and being a touch off. Go to a functional medicine doctor that is a medical provider also, MD, DO, PA, NP to make sure you aren't paying for unnecessary labs, tests, treatments or consult with your provider at each step. We all need to manage stress better and lay off the caffeine and support our gut micro-biome to let our bodies natural processes heal us. Glad you are back on track and feeling great Jordan!
THANK YOU!
As a mom of 10, I feel I have most of these symptoms. This was very interesting
Bless you 10 😳😁
Can you make a video with some of the meals you made with on the detox? Glad to see you're back on TH-cam!
I put together some of my meal and snack basics into a blog post today: funcheaporfree.com/health-journey/ :)
thank you for this video
I was recently diagnosed with Subclinical Hyperthyroidism. It was so tricky to figure out!
Stop gluten, soy product and fake oils!
Wow, I would love to work with them about psoriasis. I've had it for SO many years but still have no clue how to take care of myself.
This video is super informative. Thank yoy for sharing.
No links in either vide. Graves disease does not have to be this complicated. I am in remission with no special diet or all these high costs.
Wow, you are lucky.
@@kimmartin2522 I am lucky but suffered 10 yrs and it can always come back.
I had Graves’ in my 20s. Put on so much weight before the GP sent me to an endocrinologist. I’m one of the few who gain instead of lose lol. My heart rate was 120 resting rate. I took Carbimazole for 18 months. After I stopped, it came back and they gave me radio iodine. I’ve had an underactive thyroid since which I just take replacement hormones for. I don’t understand why some people are so opposed to taking medication. there are years and years of studies and history of using this and it’s nothing to worry about.
PS diet can’t replace a hormone your body doesn’t produce.
@@jenslims who said they are opposed to taking medication? I still have my thyroid and I am not on meds. Should I be?
A lot of the symptoms that you attribute to Graves are also symptoms for long covid. I wonder if you had both. Either way, so glad you got help to get better.
😅😅😅😅😅
@@vikki4now Are you laughing at her health condition?
Thank you for saying this. I got Long Covid and also have her symptoms. So many people suddenly sick, having autoimmune problems, and new allergies don’t know Covid causes all of this.
can you show what type of meals your making to support this and what your buying? im hypo and i would love to get off meds in the future
This is the approach everyone should take. Sometimes, it feels like only the wealthy get the opportunity . I have benefits, but there are limits and deductibles and co-pays. Of you overcome that, getting an appointment is very tough. My primary care physician went to the concierge, and now there is an annual fee of $1800. That just gets you in and 30 min appointment vs. 15 min.
Is there a part 2? What happened to the questions?
I have Hashimotos. Diagnosed over 20 years ago. I'm not an expert & def not a doc. I saw your throat swell over time and I wondered about your thyroid but kept such suspicion to myslef because even if I was correct, you never addressed it and it was none of my business. All that to say I'm so glad you finally got the REAL help your body needed. Thyroid messes with EVERYTHING. I listen to my Endo but added functional med to my schedule and boom. I got so much relief. Work with the body AS A WHOLE and everything in there gets what it needs 😎. Best,
I have Addison's Disease and Hashimoto's. Oh how I would love to get better.
“ crunchy woooie” 😂😂
I have Graves too. I was diagnosed in 2023 after #3 during postpartum. I can't take the medication to fix it because it decreases immune system function. I just get sick constantly and long lasting illnesses. I am trying to go natural but I need help. Too bad that takes more money than I have.
So sorry you’re going through all that! Sending prayers ❤️🩹🙏
Thank you so much. I have multiple sclerosis. I am now bed ridden for the last 3 and a 1/2 years due to a fall.That broke my leg my good strong leg.
I wish I could work with a doctor like this. Being on social security does not pay. I need to help. My daughter won't help me get a healthy. I tell her what I need to eat. She is my full time care giver now. I tell her all the time.I need to fuel my body. I get kind bars and yogurt. I want out of this bed. I want to heal my m s. I know it can be done. Thank you for posting this video.
Google dr wahl and aip. She's a dr with MS, purportedly got herself out of a wheelchair.
Thanks for sharing! 💜
I’ve had Hashimotos for the past 5 years. I would love if you can help me so I can feel normal again. How can I get in contact with you?
Thank you for this video! I just started going to a chiropractor who practices functional medicine and she’s given me so much hope. I’m about to start the protocol you guys talked about here with vitamins, detox, then support. This is an important video, thank you for doing it.
I've been up and down with my thyroid. Born in UK in 1987, I was rushed to Great Ormond St children's hospital at 10days old. My mum was told I was born without a thyroid, and that I would be a cretin, that I'd never develop, have kids etc. I'm 37 now, have had 2 kids and no longer need levothyroxine as 2nd pregnancy "cured" me. Still get T4 and TSH tested every 6m but always come back normal. Uk don't test T3. Now I have Axial Spa (hereditary) and fibromyalgia...
My sister has Graves disease I will be sending her this video
Please don't use OCD as a verb. All it does is leads to more confusion and stigma towards OCD
He actually didn’t use it as a verb. He said, we want to be as OCD as possible. That’s an adjective. However, I am not saying that the overuse of the term OCD is justified by any means.
I’ve had Covid twice and developed an autoimmune disease towards food. It took 8 months of tests, figuring out what I can eat that doesn’t throw my body into complete reaction to certain foods. I now have to eat a paleo lifestyle. If I eat anything with sugar, wheat, dairy, anything processed my whole body gets covered in hives/welts, hives in my mouth and new issues with breathing! But I follow a strict eating, I now have really good resources for paleo recipes, I’ve learned how to really read labels and I’m really careful about eating out. I haven’t eaten at a fast food restaurant in over a year now and I don’t miss it at all. Since this diagnosis and having to do a complete lifestyle change, I can honestly say I’ve never felt better. My only concern now is it’s hard to maintain weight. I know people are going to say, oh poor you, but it is hard . People always tell me to stop dieting, but I’m not and I’m trying to find foods help maintain weight. I did finally find a paleo protein powder so I’m looking forward to trying that!!
That's so great you found out what food caused this! I experienced chronic hives for 5 years, no foods seemed to cause them, I just had them 24/7. I have found a medication that helps me. In saying that, no doctor really encouraged me to find the food triggers.
I’m trying to figure out some stuff for one of my friends. Did you have any of the shots as well?
Interesting! 😊
Hi, my college aged daughter has Hashimoto’s and suffers from severe migraines. We are at a loss. She’s on a daily migraine medication that just masks the symptoms. What should our next step be?
Can you speak more to the iodine sensitivity. I have hashimotos and sulphur intolerance and react to alot of foods, supplements and iodine. We need some in our diets so what do we do? I have done low sulphur diet and molybdenum.
I think doctors who focus on nutrition and in identifying triggers for chronic illnesses are wonderful and I'd love to go that route (I'm ok but both my children). My problem is that most doctors who don't practice traditional "throw pills at the symptoms" medicine AREN'T COVERED BY INSURANCE. Any recommendations for those of us who don't have Jordan's income and need to stick with what insurance covers?
I had my thyroid removed 7 years ago, had a multi-nodular goiter. I did not even understand anything about the thyroid function etc. I was told it was likely Hashimotos , I had alot of the symptoms. Now I am without a thyroid, taking medication. Long story short, Are you able to help someone who no longer has a thyroid?
42 yo woman with hypothyroidism, triggered by 2nd pregnancy at age 31. I’ve been told I have Hashimotos markers in my blood panels. The fatigue, brain fog, anxiety are bad. BUT a lymph edema specialist told my I have LIpidemia also known as painful fat syndrome. Painful unilateral swelling and pain around ankles and and knees. I haven’t had ankles in years. Also excessive stubborn fat around hips but not my waist. Could this be related to autoimmune issues. I’ve all but given up finding a doctor in the Nashville area that can answer that question 😞
Did they answer the question?? Is part of the video missing??
I have Graves disease and hyperthyroidism
Love you guys
Jordan, welcome to the holistic side ❤
I wonder how much this will all cost 🤔 I would love to see Dr redd or someone similar sometime
The Holistic Psychologist. Be the love you seek. This book and instagram feed could be just what you need. A lot of focus on autoimmune dysfunction and healing traumas that nest in our bodies.
I think I’m on this end of the autoimmune spectrum. I learned about Dr Pompa and the Andy Cutler method of detoxing with proteins (proper chelations) and decided to go carnivore. Six months in I feel so much better. Love Steak and Butter Gal on TH-cam.
I've never really been able to fast. I quit about 10 years ago. I think it's good for some but I get awful headaches if I even skip a meal! It's a migraine that I used to have to take heavy meds for. Since you had graves, the dehydration alone is enough to make exercise extremely difficult! I take thyroid meds and have had to lower meds a few times. It's only a taste of what you went through! ADHD can be aside effect of of thyroid problems. It's like you can't think at all or pay attention to anything. Although, it sounds like you had it already.
Where can I find part 2?
Always think about the foods we put in our bodies multiple times a day. However putting permanent enhancing objects in our body while struggling with health issues doesn’t seem like a wise decision.
Ugh, wish I had health insurance. I would love to go down this journey.
Insurance usually doesn't cover functional Drs. They are out of the mainstrean.
My functional medicine doctor doesn’t take insurance You have to pay all of it without insurance help and use the labs that she chooses. It is VERY expensive!
How nice to be so privileged to be able to afford alternative health care. Millions of people have zero health care or access to health care, let alone the budget or accessibility to something out of pocket & niche like this. I’m happy it worked for you & I do believe there are benefits & validity to functional medicine.
Almost at a million!!!
I hope you can look at this as an American and be an advocate for what is put in our food. If we can turn around how our food is made and even the stress on livestock how those stress hormones go into our body from that animal, than I think we as a whole can help our childrens and children’s childrens generation instead of growing up sick.
I have also had a journey with my thyroid (but Hashi) and found functional medicine and an Integrative Doctor that has changed my life after soooo many years of being sick. I try to tell everyone that it is the way to go.
Can anyone guide me to finding the article about his gymnast daughter they were talking about? Thanks
I just love this 💙
Thank you for making this video. It explains many things.
I'm having similar syptoms but I don't have a thyroid anymore I had cancer twice of thyroid since I was 17 now 37 I have the brain fog hair loss I've been moody very tired weight gain but my levels are normal
Did they take out your Parathyroid glands too? I ended up with a tumor on one of my Parathyroid glands. Cause alllll sorts of problem. Check your blood calcium and Parathyroid hormone levels
I always though what you feed your kids was bad...those snack baskets!
Im on a minimal gluten and strict dairy free. Can you tolerate sourdough bread? I want to try it homemade.
Try making a gluten free sourdough. I have Celiac and gluten stays in your system for 6 weeks. Even just 1 serving stats with you.
Possibly you have/had LONG COVID or Post viral illness. New MCAS, exhaustion, stomach issues, brain fog, hair loss, heart issues, and insomnia. A mild infection gave me all of your symptoms. No, not vaccinated in case anyone wants to pin it on that. I WISH people who have a platform would admit they have this. You could help us all who are suffering!
Is this the same for hashimoto's? Like no exercising? I'm still being tested I don't even know what I have yet I have low tsh but have symptoms of hypo and hyper its freaking nuts I have no idea what's going on it's taking 6 years I now have a new doctor who seems to be helping me finally but I have no idea I'm suppose to do
Thank God you learned to read labels!!! Read all the labels in your pantry, clean up your childrens diets too please.
Yes, people don’t talk enough about how much damage stress can do to our bodies.
