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
How does the thyroid affect the mitochondria?
Mitochondria are the energy powerhouses of our cells. They use oxygen to convert glucose to an energy-storing molecule called ATP, which plays a role in numerous functions involved in neurotransmission, muscle contraction, DNA and RNA synthesis, and more.
With thyroid hormones playing a vital role in regulating energy production within the mitochondria, the relationship between thyroid health and mitochondrial function is critical to our well-being.
Today I’m discussing the relationship between thyroid health and mitochondrial function and why balanced thyroid hormone levels are needed to maintain optimal mitochondrial function and overall health.
In this episode, you’ll learn about:
- The effects of oxidative stress on the mitochondria
- How thyroid hormones stimulate energy production and mitochondrial formation
- The connection between autoimmune conditions and mitochondrial dysfunction
- How thyroid medications can impact mitochondrial health
- The potential effects of beta blockers on mitochondrial function
- Common factors that contribute to mitochondrial damage
- Selenium's role in thyroid health and its protective effects on mitochondria
As always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!
