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.

High vs. Low TSH, Balancing the TSH
TSH is a pituitary hormone that communicates with the thyroid gland and essentially tells it to produce more thyroid hormone.
As a result, when someone has hypothyroidism - low thyroid hormones - typically, they'll have elevated thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels. On the other hand, when someone has hyperthyroidism - elevated thyroid hormones - they'll generally have lower TSH levels.
Today, I’m sharing the foundational details you need to know about TSH and how to balance TSH levels, whether you have hypo- or hyperthyroidism.
In this episode, you’ll learn about:
- Different considerations for balancing TSH levels in hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism
- Reference and optimal ranges for TSH according to different labs and practitioners
- Medication and natural agents for balancing TSH
- Hormones to be tested in a comprehensive thyroid panel
- How long it can take for medications versus natural agents to impact hormone levels
As always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!
