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. Please share your questions with me by emailing [e-mail], and I'll include the most relevant ones in upcoming episodes.
In this episode, you’ll learn about:
Q1: Can you take supplements to help shrink a thyroid goiter?
Q2: Can hyperthyroidism progress to hypothyroidism if left untreated or vice versa? Please advise on the foods that could help reduce hyperthyroid symptoms.
Q3: Based on your experience and work with patients, roughly how long does it usually take to see significant changes in the antibodies while finding and removing triggers to address the cause of an individual's autoimmunity?
Q4: Is it safe to use a multivitamin that contains copper if one has Graves’ disease and hyperthyroidism?
Q5: Are there specific protocols that can help to restore my strength and vitality when dealing with Hashimoto’s?
Q6: In 2019, my husband died, and shortly after, I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease and hyperthyroidism. When I was diagnosed, I had symptoms, but for the last two years, I've had weight gain, which is hard to lose, minimal palpitations, and no fatigue. I’m taking methimazole, and my T3 and T4 are within range, but my TSH is less than 0.01. Since I found your videos, I've become serious about finding the root cause of my issues. What do you think might be going on?
Q7: Do thyroid nodules cause anxiety and nervousness? I've read that they don't cause any symptoms; is this true?
Q8: What blood test do I need to get to see when I can start reducing my medication, carbimazole?
Q9: Can you consume oats and oat milk, or does it need to be certified gluten-free oats?
Q10: I have hyperthyroidism and cannot find much consistent data on it. I want to treat it with natural supplements and diet. Can you give me information on that?
Q11: To date, my issue is benign nodules, no autoimmune, T3 and T4 within the normal range. Is there any way to shrink or improve this issue?
Q12: What should I do regarding a diagnosis of subclinical Graves’ or hyperthyroidism and thyroid eye disease?
Q13: Is it safe to take electrolytes? They have quite a lot of sodium.
As always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!
