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.

Which viruses can trigger thyroid autoimmunity?
Although most viruses don’t directly trigger autoimmune thyroid conditions such as Graves’ disease or Hashimoto’s, certain types of viral infections can play a role in developing these conditions. This can happen via a number of different mechanisms, including molecular mimicry and direct bystander activation.
In my practice, I’ve seen numerous patients where different viral infections, were a potential trigger in the development of their autoimmune thyroid conditions. Today, I’m sharing some of the more common viruses associated with thyroid autoimmunity and what you can do to support your thyroid and immune system.
In this episode, you’ll learn about:
- How viruses trigger autoimmunity
- COVID-19 as a potential trigger for Graves' disease and Hashimoto's
- Epstein-Barr Virus and its association with autoimmune conditions
- Hepatitis C and its implications for thyroid health
- Parvovirus B19 and its potential role in developing Hashimoto's thyroiditis
- Herpes virus and HTLV-1's association with thyroid autoimmunity
- My approach to testing for specific viruses
- Natural treatment options to support immune health
- Why I focus on optimizing the immune system to combat viral infections
As always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!
