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.

TPO Antibodies vs Thyroglobulin Antibodies Part 1
Many people with Graves’ Disease or Hashimoto’s also have thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibodies.
TPO antibodies develop when the immune system attacks thyroid peroxidase, an enzyme that plays a significant role in synthesizing thyroid hormone. Elevated TPO antibody levels point to an inhibition of the production of thyroid hormone, which can eventually lead to hypothyroidism, even in those with Graves’.
Today I’m sharing everything you need to know about why TPO antibodies develop and how to address them.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What is thyroid peroxidase (TPO), and how does it work?
- What elevated TPO antibodies indicate
- The triad of autoimmunity
- Functional reference ranges for TPO antibodies
- The relationship between TPO and iron
- How to decrease TPO antibodies
As always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!
