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.

Is it possible to shrink an extremely large goiter?
A goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland commonly caused by issues such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, insulin resistance, problems with estrogen metabolism, and iodine deficiency.
While it is possible to shrink a goiter, there are a number of factors to consider. Even though my goal is to save as many thyroid glands as possible, there is a time and place for thyroid surgery. Today, I’m sharing the factors that influence whether or not you can shrink a large goiter and when to consider thyroid surgery or natural treatment alternatives.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Understanding what a goiter is
- Common causes of goiters
- My experience with a mild goiter related to Graves' disease
- Challenges in shrinking large goiters
- When to consider thyroid surgery
- The importance of addressing underlying issues and lifestyle factors
- Differentiating between thyroid nodules and goiters
- What you need to know about iodine testing
- Risks associated with iodine supplementation
As always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!
