Save My Thyroid: Healing Tips for Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's
If you have hyperthyroidism (Graves' disease, toxic multinodular goiter, etc.) or Hashimoto's thyroiditis and are looking to do everything to save your thyroid gland, then the Save My Thyroid podcast is for you! Dr. Eric Osansky DC, IFMCP is the host, as he personally was diagnosed with Graves' disease in 2008 and was able to get into remission taking a natural approach. He created this podcast to help others with hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's save their thyroid and regain their health. If you have hyperthyroidism then pretty much all of the episodes will benefit you, and if you have Hashimoto's you'll benefit from most of the guest expert episodes, as well as some of the "solo" episodes. The reason there is more of a focus on hyperthyroidism is because all of the other thyroid-related podcasts focus mostly on hypothyroidism/Hashimoto's, and since Dr. Eric personally dealt with Graves' disease he wanted this podcast to focus more on hyperthyroidism, although it will still offer plenty of value to those with hypothyroidism/Hashimoto's. Dr. Eric Osansky lives in Matthews NC with his wife, 2 daughters, 3 cats, 2 dogs, and 3 guinea pigs! He has been a practitioner for 20+ years, and has focused on helping people with thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions since 2009.

Cholesterol and Thyroid Health
Cholesterol often gets a bad rap, but it’s integral to several bodily functions, from hormone synthesis to digestion.
For people with thyroid conditions, hypothyroidism is often associated with elevated total cholesterol and LDL, and hyperthyroidism is typically associated with lower cholesterol and LDL. In these cases, balancing your thyroid hormone levels usually improves your lipid panel.
Today I’m sharing the connection between thyroid hormone and cholesterol, why cholesterol is essential for your health, how your thyroid levels can impact your lipid panel, what you can do to improve your cholesterol, and more.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Lipid metabolism and the role of thyroid hormone
- The crucial functions of cholesterol in the body
- What we commonly see with total cholesterol levels and hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism
- What are LDL and HDL?
- How thyroid conditions impact LDL and HDL levels
- Why it’s important to test fasting triglyceride levels
- Thyroid hormones and lipid levels
- Concerns about low cholesterol and the production of sex hormones
- What research shows about the connection between thyroid hormones and lipids
- How antithyroid drugs can affect your lipid panel
As always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!
