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.

Today, I’m back with another Q&A episode, answering multiple questions submitted by the Save My Thyroid community. While I can’t get to everyone’s questions every time, I love creating these for you, and I’ll do similar episodes every couple of months. You can also check out my YouTube Channel at SaveMyThyroid.com/YouTube for more answers to your questions. Please share your questions with me by emailing info@naturalendocrinesolutions.com, and I'll include the most relevant ones in upcoming episodes.
In this episode, I'm answering:
- Q1: Are there any ways to shrink a goiter? What is the natural treatment for goiter?
- Q2: Can the radiation used in various medical procedures, such as CT scans, affect existing thyroid nodules?
- Q3: I'm interested in knowing about bile and transforming T4 to T3. My doctor suspects my bile isn't doing its job.
- Q4: If someone reacts to iodine, such as iodized salt or seaweed, is it likely that they will always have the same reaction?
- Q5: What will shrink thyroid nodules?
- Q6: I'd like to understand what my bloodwork is telling me. Is there a reference that explains more than the optimal ranges?
- Q7: Is it possible that my adrenal glands may be the root cause of my condition?
- Q8: Can the Epstein-Barr virus cause thyroid conditions?
- Q9: I would appreciate it if you could dive into an easy-to-understand for the nonmedical professional discussion about the different antibodies.
- Q10: If the TSH is high, why did the doctor increase the levothyroxine dosage? What would cause it to spike if I'm taking the meds every day?
- Q11: Why doesn't any thyroid medicine I take work? It always starts out good, and then it doesn't.
- Q12: When thyroid nodules are found by ultrasound, what is your opinion on having a biopsy performed on the nodule?
- Q13: I don't eat red meat. Instead, I eat liver once every two weeks. As someone with Graves’, can I eat liver?
- Q14: I have discovered that I have antibodies for both Hashimoto’s and Graves’ disease. I've had Graves’ on and off for 30 years. Currently, my T3 and T4 are in the normal range, but my reverse T3 is at the high end of normal. I believe that I have symptoms of Hashimoto’s. Do I treat for that?
- Q15: What can I do if I cannot afford your program? I am looking for a way to reverse Graves’ disease naturally, but I don't know where to start.
- And more.
As always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!
