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.
Save My Thyroid: Healing Tips for Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's
Why do my thyroid hormones increase even though my TSI is decreasing?
Often, we’ll see an increase in thyroid hormones in those with Graves’ disease. This is due to thyroid stimulating immunoglobulins (TSI), a type of TSH receptor antibody that binds to the TSH receptors and causes the thyroid gland to release an excessive amount of thyroid hormone.
For some people on the healing journey, TSI and thyroid hormone levels decrease simultaneously. However, this isn’t always the case. Today, I’m sharing why you might find thyroid hormone levels increasing despite decreasing TSI.
In this episode, you’ll learn about:
- Causes of increased thyroid hormone levels in those with Graves' disease
- The relationship between TSI and thyroid hormone production
- What it can mean when thyroid hormone decreases while TSI increases
- Why it’s crucial to find and treat the underlying causes
- How elevated TSI levels can trigger a more vigorous immune response
- Lab reference ranges for TSI
- When to be concerned about fluctuations in thyroid hormones and TSI
- How often to test TSI and thyroid hormone levels
As always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!
