Please join me in welcoming Dr. Dimitris Tsoukalas. There’s a chronic condition that’s more prevalent than cardiovascular disease and cancer combined. Autoimmune disease is the most common chronic illness, with over 50 million people suffering from autoimmune conditions in the US.
Autoimmune disease is a condition where the immune system does not recognize certain organs and tissues, so it attacks them. Hashimoto’s is the most common autoimmune disease.
Dr. Tsoukala explains that Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a chronic inflammatory condition in which the immune system attacks and gradually destroys the thyroid gland. This reduces the thyroid's function, leading to hypothyroidism.
Around 26 million people in the United States are suffering from Hashimoto's disease-and 9 out of 10 are women.
One of the first symptoms of Hashimoto’s is low energy. This is because the hormones produced by the thyroid gland regulate metabolism and control the metabolic rate. People with Hashimoto’s also have difficulty regulating body weight because their metabolic rate is slow. Hormonal imbalance and emotional instability are other common symptoms of Hashimoto’s.
All of Dr. Tsoukalas’ patients diagnosed with Hashimoto’s also have vitamin D deficiencies. More than 90% of his Hashimoto’s patients are insulin resistant. Another common problem associated with Hashimoto’s is multiple marginal micronutrient deficiencies. These deficiencies lead to mitochondrial dysfunction.
Dr. Tsoukalas takes a unique and groundbreaking approach with his patients and utilizes metabolomic testing, which tests chemical reactions in the body to help determine any deficiencies.

Thanks for watching! I hope you found this interview with Dr. Tsoukalas helpful. I’ll see you in the next video.
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism in 2007. Docs put me on meds and I improved, but I hated being told I would have to take the meds for the rest of my life. I started a Keto, gluten free diet 3 years ago, and was able to get rid of the Hashimoto's. Now Im doing high doses of Vit D3 with Vit K2 to get off my meds. I am down to taking my thyroid meds 2x/week now. My doctor is impressed and my labs confirm im on the rigjt track!
My labs turned around and my doctor said he's never seen it. OK but how did that happen tho? It's crazy.
I'm so happy for you! im on the same path!
Wow, that's awesome!
Congratulations we need to take control of our health most Doctors just push medication on us.
When you say high doses of D3 and K2, how much are you taking? I've been taking 10k IUs of D3 for a couple of months and my numbers only moved 6 points. I just started on a liquid D3 with K2 as well as a liquid magnesium in the hopes if getting better absorption and my numbers up more quickly.
The hardest part is getting this diagnosed. Most Dr's don't do complete blood panels on this and just call it good. I'm pretty sure I've had hypothyroidism for years! The best thing I can do is educate myself and tell my Dr which blood samples I want pulled. Going to try that at my next Dr's appointment.
If the doctor doesn't approve, you can also order the tests yourself. Of course insurance will not cover it at that point, but they are usually reasonable prices.
@@tradermunky1998how do you order a test for yourselves if the doc does not approve ? I believe previous chemo caused mine , but getting a doctor to believe that impossible
@@sandralrho9455 LabCorp and Quest Diagnostics, probably more out there. You simply schedule the panel, do it, and pay for it like anything else. It's not "illegal" to get tested without a doctor approval.

Go to a wellness doctor. That’s what I had to do. They do a much better thorough job.
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 6 months ago. I am so exhausted all the time, in my early 30’s. Loved this video! Fantastic insight. 🤘
As a Greek who's been following Dr Tsoukalas for years, I'm excited to see him featured here :) Thanks to both of you!
I cured my Hashimoto's on a high fat carnivore gluten free diet. I have years of gluten damage so I do still need thyroid medication, but feel so much better.
Ty❤
Gluten free helps me too although I make an exception for pizza and brownies.
@michelemcneil3652 How do you know that you cured it when you still have to take medication? If you're cured doesn't that mean that you no longer have to take medication? I would love to cure mine, and I'm still trying my best to figure all this out.
Same. No medication because i caught it early.
I cut out gluten and sugar and alcohol and went on a vegan diet to treat the Hashimoto’s. I still have hypothyroidism but the numbers for Hashimoto’s have improved with the diet.
A friend of mine has Hashimoto. She went gluten free and even remove dairy and improved considerably. She lost too much weight so has some dairy now but a strict gluten free diet is what made all the difference for her
I have been diagnosed with Hashimotto Hypothyroidism. Outside of my metabolism shutting down, I had no symptoms until I started synthetic medication.
I cut out gluten, dairy, carbs and all processed foods. My diet consists of apple\pear sauce, vegs, eggs, meat, berries & humus daily. I eat 400-500 calories per day within a 6 hour window and can't lose any weight. If I eat more calories than I am I gain weight.
I do 700 exercises a day and 900 steps on my stepper, equivalent to 90 flights of stairs.
I take Synthroid meds, Vit B complex, extra B12, C, D, Zinc, Probiotic and Fiber supplements daily. My only symptoms, outside of weight, is extremely dry skin that I rub until raw, skin rashes and extreme intolerance emotions. I usually cant fall asleep until 5:00am most nights, but do get 7-8 hours of sleep a day. I can't get a family doctor here in Alberta, Canada and really need help. I am at my wits end of what to do to lose weight and stop rubbing my skin raw.
The generic form of Synthroid does not work for me at all. Perhaps you could try taking Synthroid. I hope this helps.
Everyone is different. Her thyroid was probably not totally destroyed.
I learned more about my hashimotos in this video than in 12 years with my doctors. The insulin resistance is a hard pill to swallow. Time to get honest with myself if I want to heal. Thank you Dr. Berg
You know he’s not a doctor he’s just a chiropractor
Dr. Berg is a chiropractor. The doctor he interviewed specializes in hashimotos no? Also, doctors are not all-knowing.
01:08 📊 Autoimmune diseases, affecting 50 million Americans, are the leading cause of chronic conditions, surpassing cancer and cardiovascular diseases combined.
02:15 🩺 Hashimoto's disease stands out as the most prevalent autoimmune condition, primarily affecting the thyroid.
04:32 🔄 Hashimoto's disease is not merely a thyroid disorder but an immune system malfunction where antibodies attack the thyroid gland, leading to chronic inflammation and potential destruction.
05:27 🚺 Hormonal fluctuations in women's lives, such as during menstruation and pregnancy, contribute to the higher prevalence of Hashimoto's disease among females.
08:37 🛑 While Hashimoto's disease can be managed to halt the immune system's attack on the thyroid, reversing tissue damage or discontinuing medication entirely is challenging due to slow thyroid tissue regeneration.
11:27 ⚡ Symptoms of Hashimoto's disease include low energy levels, difficulty regulating body weight, hormonal imbalances, and emotional instability.
16:51 🧪 Vitamin D deficiency, insulin resistance, and micronutrient deficiencies are commonly associated with Hashimoto's disease, underscoring the importance of comprehensive nutritional assessment.
21:12 🧬 Metabolomics offers a personalized approach to assessing nutrient utilization and identifying subtle deficiencies that traditional blood tests may miss, aiding in tailored treatment plans for Hashimoto's patients.
Thanks so much for your outline!!
Sure no problem.
@@contessajones5619 you're welcome.
@@Drberg Dr Berg I've sent you 3 emails for a collabrations but I got no response. my email is the same as my youtube username.
@@Drbergsorry what is his name
Thank you for bringing Dr Tsoukala for conversation! One of the best doctors here in Greece!
I believe he should be educating Drs from around the world, including my Dr here in Australia.
Thank you for this! It took years to get my hashimoto's diagnosis. It has then taken more years to get appropriate treatment. For being so common you would think the medical field would be more educated!
You are very welcome, so glad it is helpful!
Am a Ugandan but i learned to treat my self after following Dr. Berg. Bravo to you doctor ❤.
Last year I got really depressed, I had no energy and couldn’t stay awake I was randomly falling asleep, I’m also very overweight. I got really scared and went to the doctor. They diagnosed me with hypothyroidism and put me on medication. Now I’ve lost 50 pounds since January and I feel like a different person.
So glad u got help. I don’t get help here in cs
Did they rule out Hashimoto’s? Because if you have it, the antibodies still need to be controlled.
What kind of medication?
@@kaebella2259 Levothyroxine
@@unnamed2737 I don’t believe so. First time I heard of it was this video. But I’ll ask them to check next visit.
Dr. Berg, can you please do a video on what food and supplements or actions a person suffering from this should do and take, on top of doing the metabolic test. Thank you
He has lots of CZcamss on this. Just put it in the search.
This one of the top comments in the video above although I personally like eating sweet potato:
Foods to avoid:
1. Cassava
2. Lima beans
3. Sorgum
4. Sweet potato
5. Flax seed
6. Cruciferous vegetables
7. Millet
8. Soy products
9. Onions
10. Gluten
If you have cruciferous vegetables in very small amounts (less than five ounces), it shouldn’t be a problem.
Cooking, steaming, or fermenting cruciferous vegetables also reduces their goitrogenic effect. Having sea kelp as well may also help.
You would also want to avoid anything that depletes selenium, iodine, iron, and vitamin A.
Good sources of selenium and iodine:
• Seafood
• Sea kelp
• Sea salt
Good sources of iron:
• Red meat
• Animal products
Good sources of vitamin A:
• Egg yolks
• Butter
• Cod liver oil
• Beef liver
@denvernaicker8250 thanks!! Question...what kind of red meat? Lean? Some fat? Fatty?
@alexialira3839 from personal experimentation, I have found that not too lean and not too fatty, as too much fat can over excrete gallbladder bile which can cause immediate expulsion from body, and too lean meat which is akin to having a rabbit diet will result in very low overall energy levels to do any physical exertion including walking up small steps. The lean protein diet helped me lose a lot of weight but at the cost of not having that much energy to do much else. The cut or portion of meat I am subscribing at the moment is silverside beef and has a top layer of fat. I have tried lamb although coupling this with resistance training, I noted that there was less strength on my part to continue at higher levels of repetition, so I have opted for beef. I do take beef organ supplements which have been freeze dried and are easy to digest and absorb, there is some distaste towards the tatste of organ meat, but the benefits are b12 and mitochondria energy related. Do note portion sizes and electrolytes and other items which I have gone back and forth experimenting with even if I have an allergic reaction to, the body does need almost small sizes of everything. Although I am very allergic to shellfish and fish, I can pallet seaweed especially in capsule powder form. I might have given a broad summary but another key note would be quality of meat from supplier. Grass fed being at the top and one can gauge the effect by the quantity to eat to feel satiated.

This doctor needs to be cloned and put into every medical school to re-educate doctors with correct information about health.
He is brilliant, and a gem of a person to anyone with common sense about how to improve their health in a sustained way.
I just love learning from his simple to understand videos.. I respect this man immensely. 👍👍👍
You clearly don't understand what the mission of today's medical schools are 😂
What would we do without you, Dr. Berg?!!!
I thought I listened to every videos about Hashimoto but this one is so informational and clear! Thank you
Very humble Dr. Thank you God for these Drs.
GOD BLESS YOU BOTH!
I was at the doctor today to discuss my thyroid... Been dix for 15 years and nothings worked for it. Perfect timing with this. Thank you so much
It’s nice to hear some people can get help. I have it and I couldn’t get a doctor who cared. So I have to try to help myself. I don’t want to pay another doctor to hurt me and mistreat me. What a blessing to hear people care. Thank you for sharing 😊
Excellent interview! I respect and follow both dr Berg and dr Tsoukalas and it was great to see them talk about Hashimotos! They have both helped me a lot through my journey! Thank you and god bless you both! 🥰🥰
Excellent interview and information. Thank you for bringing more attention to this disease. So many people are unaware it's causing their symptoms, and are unaware there is much that can be done to support it.
Super insightful thank you both!
Dr.Berg, your continued dedication to educating us on the functions of our cells is so very appreciated... You make it easy to understand the most complex interactions in our bodies...Thank you for all you do!!!
Thank you for your appreciation!
I know your guest was limited in his time, but my "appetite was only whetted" by this discussion. Although I do not have Hashimoto's, I found the topic fascinating. Great job, gentlemen! 👏👏👏
As a hasihomoto suffering i can tell you it's 100% from stress when i moved from the stressful place my situation improved
its not its a infection , but yes its logical it will improve , since its immune related , but for sure you got varricose veins and low blood pressure systolic like 100 to 110

As Greek i m very proud of Dr. Tsoukalas!
Great interview, Dr Berg. So informative. Thank you 🙏🏻
You're very welcome!
Really appreciate this interview. I'm a 52 year old guy that was diagnosed with Hashimoto's along with vitamin D and B12 deficiencies a year ago. The doctor never told me to start supplementing vitamin D3 w/ K2 and B12 . When I asked about changing my diet and the possibility of slowing down or stopping the progression he told me no to both. All he told me that I could do is stop eating dashi and other forms of seaweed (I live in Japan).
Extremely insightful, informative, and educating!
Thanks to both of these amazing
Doctors!
❤ Thanks immensely for your comments Do you know where you can get recommended test done if we reside in United Kingdom please?💚🌼🙏
Thanks for your comment. Appreciate it.
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's EIGHT years after symptoms started. Multiple visits to the doc resulted in only ONE test for vitamin D which of course was low at 20. Doc couldn't figure out what tests to run for my complaints of fatigue, brain fog, new daily onset headaches and muscle stiffness and pain. Now that I've been diagnosed and on meds, I feel worse than I did before being diagnosed. Doctors think normalizing TSH is the only thing that needs to be done and the symptoms must be in my head. The medical community to date has been an impediment to my treatment and recovery. How can so many doctor's be so ignorant after going through six years of medical school?
Are you only taking a t4 medication? You might need t3 also if you feel horrid.
Because the medical education is corrupted my Pharma which has as an objective keeping clients for life.
@@brandi6591Thanks Brandi. I'm already on Armour which definitely is better than levo but still not good..
Doctors are the approxy of medication companies they don't care about the person
Zinc, selenium and iodine
I was diagnosed with Hashimotos 42 years ago. My first symptom was weight gain without doing anything different! Now, at age 66 my weight gain has never stopped, no matter what I do. I went from 120 to 180.
A family is as your age, overweight, painful joints and knees, fatigue, doctor can't pinpoint what's wrong, only prescribed painkillers, might be having Hashimoto but lately a friend advised to drink ginger and lemon boiled together and drink it t least 3x per week, she started losing weight and can walk in short distance
@@maimay3673 I have painful knees, also. Has your friend had Hashimotos for a long time?
What is the dose of Levothyroxin you take?Under dose may the problem.
@@user-hd9gu6iw6l I take Armour Thyroid, 120.....been on it for about 20 years. It works best for me
Same here, 32 yrs ago was diagnosed and on levo, wjich has caused more damage and ive never lost weight on it only put on more. Ive got inflamnation everywhere, osteoarthritis in my knees due to the weight, hormone issues, kidney stones for 20 yrs. Doctors in uk treat you as one size fits all, are not bothered with testing everything and only test your tsh and t4. I believe some enviromental cause is to blame for so many people having thyroid issues and then obviously the drugs dont help as your body get more tolerance to the drugs and these drugs dont even fully treat the symptoms let alone the cause. I was in suppirt groups online both uk and american groups and even though these people are on medication, they are all still suffering. Its disgusting that doctors are now trying to pass the buck by making us believe we have fiseases when really they are all symptoms from leaky gut due to enviromental and food toxins. We litterally are being bombarded with big pharma toxic drugs that i believe are causing more harm than good. Our soil and foods sre being sprayed with chemicals, our skies are too and even tap wster with flouride in and heavy metals & toxins. Is it no wondered people are having issues. Our bodies are trying to heal us hence them telling us by the symptoms we get but mainstream docs have been trained only in pharmaceuticals not nutrition or enviromental toxins
Thank you so much for this interview and info. It answered so many questions. Deeply great full.
Thanks! That was the goal. Glad you were able to get some questions answered.
This is insane! It’s so common and we know so little about it. Also 90% prevalent in women is also remarkable. Thank you so much for bringing us this information. My dietician/ nutritionist brought this to my attention, that I am on my way to this disease although don’t have it as yet. But my doctor said nothing. I am now on a low carb hi fat/ketoish diet and I feel the difference in my energy. Thank you again🙏
Thank you so much Dr. Berg and Dr. Tsoukalas..❤
Was diagnosed with Hashimoto 20 years ago. But my former family doctor said once...you look pretty good, you couldn't be that sick..😅😢 Then I changed my family doctor and was sent to an Internist, who was specialized in gland diseases. Thank God and for her, after I showed her up all of my collected symptoms for more than 10 years, a lot of blood tests, one ultrasound and thyroid scintigraphy, this wonderful doctor lady diagnosed me with this Hashimoto disease. I am so thankful for finding such a good Doc. Love ♥️ and Light 🕯Dearest greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 Sabine..⚘️🌾🌷
You are very welcome, so glad you find the information helpful. Thanks for sharing with us here. Keep doing well!
its mycoplasma and virus the mycoplasma eat up amino acids hypothalamus needs and cause weak endocrine function , thats why you got 100 to 110 blood pressure , and varricose veins or other connective tissue problems
I have Hashimoto's and I have a quarterly blood test to check my thyroid numbers. I will most definitely ask my doctor about that test. Thank you so much...phenomenal information!!!
No problem. Wishing you good health.
Thank you so much and so much Doctor Berg and your guest. I have thought that we can't find a second dr like Dr Berg in you Tube. Dr Berg is always trying to solve our problems and educating everyone in the good health ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for this video! I was never diagnosed until they had to remove my thyroid due to an enlarged cyst (goiter?) and presurgery tests showed that my thyroid looked like a lace curtain. Hashimoto’s had destroyed a thyroid that was still functioning despite the goiter that was interrupting my swallowing. Since then I’m experiencing all the symptoms mentioned in this video despite all the adjustments I’ve tried with my meds. I’m definitely becoming a new patient with Dr. Tsoukalas. I’ll be happy to report back 😊
Thank you Dr. Berg for this very helpful and informative video! 👏❤️ As one who suffers from Hashimoto’s, I wish my doctor would have communicated all of this to me when I was diagnosed. I was very deficient in vitamin D for years before my diagnosis and….was going thru menopause and fluctuating hormones as well. I have a very good doctor helping me with my treatment. But it’s up to me to greatly improve my diet and keep my antibody numbers low. I will definitely pass this video and information onto family and friends who may be suffering with this condition.
Dr. Berg you are the best , you make us so knowledgeable!!😊
Thanks, I'm so glad!
Thank you both so much🩷🩷

Is he based in Athens ? It’s amazing that two great doctors know each other !
Thank you Dr. Berg for interviews this great doctor!
My pleasure!
I worked out a withdrawal regime for thyroid med's...over a few months . I did this after - withdrawing myself from ( other ) prescribed meds'. So my own experience fits with this post. Then I changed my diet , quite radically. Intermittent fasting works wonders in a great many ways . You were/are on enormous value in this process Dr Berg and I thank you. Thank you both .
Blessings from Sydney Australia .
Supplement's in Australia are not at all straight forward in Australia ....Sadly.
I believe that so much of our health or its absence is caused by food and soil poisoning . These days of course there are other kinds of ' poisoning ' as well.
I can't believe he didn't talk about gut health. A lot of ppl with hypo and Hashimoto have gut health issues like IBS, SIBO, leaky gut and deficiencies are also related to those issues. When the gut health is optimized, the thyroid health is getting better.
he just dont know , but i do its a infection of mycoplasma and virus , it cause endocrine problems and low blood pressure that why blood pressure will be 100 to 110 systolic and people will have varricose veins and low stomach acid leading to fungi overgrowth sifo and leeky gut there you go
Exactly!
Hashimoto’s usually causes those issues, not the other way around. Also, he did talk about those things at 17:48.
You cannot significantly improve gut health without having your thyroid hormones at optimal levels first.
I agree! My Hashimoto’s is caused by my leaky gut and gut infections like candida and mold.. I’m working on my gut and avoiding my personal food sensitivities and it makes a HUGE difference.
@@LittleCreek30 Unfortunately it’s a vicious cycle. Those critters were only able to grow because Hashimoto’s slows the MMC. In a healthy person with a normal MMC, an overgrowth like that is unlikely to happen. The critters caused the leaky gut, which further intensifies the Hashimoto’s (and all other autoimmune diseases). The issue needs to be addressed from both sides to stop the cycle. I’m glad you’re seeing improvements!
We need a second part please on the ways to invert Hashimoto! Thank you both! Σας ευχαριστώ πολύ και τους δυο!
Hi there. Thanks for the suggestion. For now, please see my other videos here on Hashimoto: www.youtube.com/@Drberg/search?query=hashimoto

It was until the co vid vaccine. It is a side effect and now it is becoming very common.
nope not rare at all. loads of women have it but on differing scales. men have it too of course but mainly women.

Glad you like my new setup. Thanks for your comment.
Brilliant presentation
Oh my goodness, I’ve been waiting almost my whole life for this Information. Finding a specialist in the field of endocrinology is so difficult. This video has set in stone what I need to do now. At 71 allot cannot be turned around, but At least now I have some answers, and what answers I don’t have I will address at Vanderbilt Univ. medical center! Thank you Dr Berg and your Dr as well.
You are very welcome, so glad you found this information useful. Keep us posted with your progress.
I use a brilliant functional doctor who treats my type 1 diabetes and hashimotos. A1C is low 5’s and thyroid hormones fluctuate, but recover rapidly. I have been gluten, dairy except white cheese, and grain free for years, eating keto and carnivore, along with intermittent fasting. My functional doctor wanted me to have an endocrinologist on board, but said, ‘dont let him treat your thyroid’. Told him there were zero good endocrinologists in our town and he agreed, so he opened his iPad, did a search, and put his finger on one.
The visit was disastrous, I didn’t go back and the report he sent to my functional doctor was scathing. The report said things I never said and made me out to look reckless because I intermittent fast, keep a low A1C. At the time, was testing a common T4 medication along with a t3 medication. The T4 medication gave me occasional heart palpitations and I stopped taking it and went back to my Armor. This endocrinologist again thought I was reckless doing this without my doctors ‘orders’. It is I who research and ask my doctor to allow me to test various combinations and as long as the dose is equivalent, he goes along with it. We also test often. Not every medication works the same on every person and sometimes with Hashimotos, you need to rotate medications that you know work for your system.
Good luck finding a good endocrinologist- the two I have gone to know less than I do, and I am a layperson. Diet is never mentioned.

16:30 100 % of Hashimoto all have Vit D3 deficiency
17:00 90% of Hashimoto have Insulin resistance or insulin metabolic disfunction
18:50 inc. multiple micro nutrients: zinc, magnesium, omega 3, potassium, chromium, B complex vitamins, vit E, anti-oxidants, amino acids basically 160 nutrients need to be present all the time.
Common symptoms
11:30 First symptom is Low energy compared to previous years.
13:30 Body weight is out of control.
14:30 Hormonal imbalances. Hormonal cycle, pain,
15:30 Emotional Stability
20:30 “Hoshimoto” is when microchondial dysfunc functioning at 50% causes thyroid to over work.
Amazing thank you are you a healthcare provider?
Micro chondrial? Do you mean mitochondrial?
Well...I definitely have Hashimotos but current Vit D level is 85...
What I do seem to struggle with is B vitamins.
I personally find if I notice swelling or fluid retention I either need vit D3 or my B vitamins. I personally have Lyme and ms. So if it’s D3, I personally need 40 000iUs of D3 with 600 mcg K2. (I have a resistance D3. That means regardless to what my bloodwork says I need a lot more. The good news is as long as you take K2 100 MCG for every 10,000 IUs of vitamin D3, there are no overdose side effects.
D3 is a fat soluble vitamin, so I will also need vit E, flax or omega 3.
Just today I was diagnosed with high high mpv, pdw and TSH. You are god send Dr. Berg.
So glad this is helpful. Keep up the good work.
What does high mpv to do with hashimoto’s because i have both
Doctor Berg your skin looks wonderful. Thank you for everything you bring us so many people appreciate it❤
Thanks for your kind words!
Great interview and great information. Thank you.
You are very welcome, glad you enjoyed it.
@18:41 Scortbuto means scurvy for all those wondering
Ive been on levothyroxine for 30 yrs and ive seen a decline in my health the longer ive been on this synthetic drug. Never have i felt good on this drug. I never lost weight, i am suffering with lots of inflamnation even with eating a good balance diet and cutting out certain food groups (grains, dairy). If thyroid drugs were beneficial, why are so many people still suffering. The deficiency is in the lack of these nutrients, minerals and vitamins in our foods due to chemicals and toxins. Our soils are contaminated so our food has no nutrients. We are being poisoned by land air and water
What is your present body weight and dose of Levothyroxin? Latest TSH level?
@@user-hd9gu6iw6l i weigh 14 stone 3ib, im 5ft 3, i take 150mcg levo and ive no clue what my tsh is cus i dont go to the docs now
When I started levothyroxine it gave me horrible symptoms. Try researching and talking to your doctor about armour thyroid.
I switched to that one and it was better for me.
You are 1 million % correct!
As always, Dr Berg is our main doctor with such informative critical data
Thank you for changing my life, along with many others for the better
Thank you for sharing health with us every day ❤
What a great conversation thank you
Glad you liked it!
@Dr. Eric Berg DC In 2005, I was diagnosed with diabetes. I had an excellent doctor, and with his help, I followed his plan to get better. In 2012, I came off of Metformin, and now I'm pre-diabetic. In 2012, I was diagnosed with Graves Disease, and my doctor did not remove my thyroid but killed it with the radiation pill. It didn't work, and I ended up with a tiny thyroid. In 2018, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. The symptoms with it are practically unbearable. The fatigue alone is horrible! The joint, bone, and muscle pain is terrible. There are no Endocrinologists where I live. I have to travel 2 hours to see her who mainly focuses on diabetes. I can't even begin to describe this horrible journey, including the weight gain.😢
I'm so sorry you are going through this. If you don't have any ethical objections perhaps consider trying a carnivore elimination diet for 30-90 days to see if that gives you some relief. Dr. Berg and other doctors on YT have some great videos on how to use diet as a healing nutritional tool though I know many who have had such positive results that they've stayed with it, myself included.
@ellieb2914 Thank you for your response. Since the removal of my gallbladder 3 years ago, I have a hard time with digesting certain foods. Red meats is one of them, but I'll give it a try. I am on a gluten free lifestyle change (diet, lol).
Someone here on YT, said that she resolved her thyroid issues with 1 or 2 Brazilnut a day and that it corrects both hyper or hypo because of the selenium in it. You can research this. Also too much selenium can be damaging if it's overdone, so keep this in mind.
Same here, thyroid removed surgically and treated with radioactive ☢️ iodine! Suffering with years of cancers, pain, many conditions, endocrinologists say my bloodwork TSH is normal! I give up!! 😢
@junesmith1570 I'm so sorry to hear that!!! The radioactive iodine pill I took, I was allergic to. I'm highly allergic to shellfish, especially shrimp. I was afraid to take that pill to destroy the thyroid; however, my doctor said it wasn't enough to hurt me. About 30 minutes later, I started itching and developed hives, and by the time I made it back to radiology, my throat was swelling. Was given a shot and IV fluids. Imagine living 2 hours away how our drive back home would have been, but I hadn't left the hospital. 2 days later, the fatigue set in. I didn't think I would live through the night.
Can you please make a video about what diet can help and how he reversed inflammation, and the attack on the thyroid from the immune system ?
Very valuable.
My former doctor recommended the Mediterranean diet alongside gluten free foods.
@@shawneedee8501 Unless you have celiac disease there is no reason to cut out gluten.
I highly recommend getting tested for your personal food sensitivities because everyone is different. For example I can’t eat coconut although it’s very good for us! I have leaky gut which made me get these sensitivities to certain foods. I need to heal my gut then I can add these foods back in.
@MSRgoogle one doctor told me to cut gluten and take probiotics. His mom did that and she doesn't have any issues anymore so ....
Best explanation I’ve ever heard. Thank you doctors ❤
Thank you for your kind words and for watching this video!
Really amazing 🙏. Thankyou Sir❤
You are very welcome.
Good morning Dr berg!! Your videos are incredible. Could you do a video on the vitamins you recommend? Hope your doing great
He already posted videos about vitamins, search them out.
He generally recommends vitamin D3-K2 and magnesium glycinate
Omg, Sun is your vitamin nr1, eat less but better quality food, natural only, dont overeat, dont eat past 5/6pm, be active, sleep regularly, enjoy life, do i need to keep going?
Good morning, you are welcome. Here is a video that goes over that 👉 czcams.com/video/2-2CheWxDlY/video.html
I was just diagnosed with Hypothyroidism doctors just want give drugs this very info video thanks for sharing
I initially diagnosed myself. After the Graves Disease symptoms went away, I started feeling fatigued really badly. The cardiologist said the heart was fine. TSH levels were badly off. Was diagnosed with low active thyroid. Sent to an endocrinologist after getting worse and tried several different thyroid meds, and they would work for awhile and levels were off again. I remember a coworker having Hashimoto's and my symptoms were similar. Kept asking the Endocrinologists about it and she specifically said NO, it's just a low active thyroid. I watched a video on YT where the dr said if your endocrinologist is not listening to you and you have a low, active thyroid, ask your primary care doctor to do these tests. I think there were 4 or more. I was positive for Hashimoto's antibodies and, of course, a low active tbyroid. I took the results to my Endocrinologists, and all she said was well, yes, that comes with the territory.
I will take all of these suggestions and discuss them with both my primary care physician and my endocrinologist, and hopefully, we can come up with a plan to get me to better health! 🙏🏽 Thanks again, everyone.
So many diseases appear to link back to mitochondria dysfunction. Which are destroyed by high carbohydrate use over time.
Pesticides in food and water especially glyphosates..
It's hard to unsee the link between gluten, carbs, poisons used to grow GMO agricultural products and metabolic health once you've seen it and felt it after removing all those foods from your diet.
Good points. I saw the other day there is now a glyphosate test to see how much is floating around in one's system.
@@tradermunky1998 I did not know that! My husband just did a 24 hr urine test. I wish I had known. We'll get it added to the next one. Thanks!
@@ellieb2914 Cool, let me know how it goes. I just saw it on another CZcams channel but haven't done it myself. Certainly something I am contemplating just to see.
The guy and his wife that got tested had high levels (top 5% of population) and were very surprised.
I've had hashimotos for 17 years and it has been a serious battle
What problems did you face?
I have Hashiimoto's since I was in my mid 20's. I suffered until my early 40's when I studied and was able to convince my endocrinologist to add liothyronine in addition to levothyroxine. I lived in cloud for 20 years (tired, not being able to concentrate, depression, etc) and my doctors didn't know or understand at the time what I was describing to them. When I was at my wits end, I saw a neurologist who prescribed Provigil because I was so close to being diagnosed to narcolepsy after doing the sleep study. Anyway, adding that little bit of liothyronine helped me get my life back.
Thank you for another great interview / informative session and topic! I've recently discovered I've got the TPO/TG antibodies though at the moment my thyroid function is adequate and I've not experience symptoms (therefore haven't needed to head down the thyroid hormone replacement route). It was Dr. George Papanicolaou who got me thinking 'this is an autoimmune condition which happens to be targetting the thyroid' which opens up an entirely different route to treatment. I've moved fully onto the carnivore diet, having removed all ultra processed foods for the most part years ago, and now fully disposed of seed oils etc for well over a year. I'm practicing time restricted eating 18:6 daily and have introduced longer fasts to further encourage my body to heal itself. There's such a correlation between the SAD (insert American, Australian, Anglo) and these conditions.

Thank you so much for following from Ethiopia. Keep doing well.
Please send the link for the test of hypo thyroid & nodules . Thankyou so much for all the info you provide. Please suggest any remedy for hypo thyroid & nodules.
Thank you for bringing this top Dr to your channel. Gracias !
Sure!
So if I have lupus, fatty liver and thyroid nodules what am I suppose to do? How do I eat 😢
My wife was recently diagnosed with Hashimoto's, and I can't thank Dr. Berg enough for providing the information to help us get on the right path. I would also suggest reading Izabella Wenz's book on Hashimoto's.
Again, thank you Dr. Berg!
You are very welcome. Glad this is helping. Keep me posted!
Suzy Cohen has a wealth of information on this as well..she has formulated many natural supplements for thyroid issues and other issues.
I suggest activating closed caption (CC) to get the most out of this vlog. The doctor’s accent is very strong and CC may help you.
Tap the CC button - they’re on
@@Cali-Kelli Captions are consistently full of errors everywhere on you tube, and often on broadcast television and in films. This failure of captions is pervasive and sabotages content everywhere.
The Doctor doesn’t have very strong accent. I have no problem with understanding what he says.
Besides, if you have any manners at all, it is unnecessary to mention his accent, just politely ask for subtitles.
@@Daria_ZVG He's trying to help people out that don't know about CC on CZcams. Hell I could barely understand so I turned them on as well.
@@BrandonsFLUR
There is no judgement if you don’t understand someone’s speech or if you need subtitles.
Yet, it is very unnecessary to point at Doctor’s “strong accent”, which is by the way a very subjective statement and simply - lack of good manners.
I used to ALWAYS get both names- Hashimoto's and Fukushima mixed up! 🤓 Guess I was thinking too far ahead! Wow! Thank you, Dr. Berg! Happy Friday, everyone! From 🇺🇸
😂
You are welcome, thanks for watching!
This is gold !!! Thank you so much!
Happy that you found it useful!
I'll pass this interview to my friend as she has the thyroid issues mentioned here. Her thyroid was removed a few years ago but it hasn't treated her health issues.
Hey Dr Berg, I was wandering if the the thyroid gland regeneration could be accelerated by castor oil since it’s so efficient when applied locally…🤔
Thanks for your work.
Thank you Dr Berg for having this discussion. One thing that I have thought about that maybe overlooked and another reason that women are higher in hypothyroidism is we wear facial make-up with a lot of chemicals in them. All of the lymphatic system in the face drains into the neck and the neck lymph nodes drain into the underarm lymph nodes.
Its never one thing in the body its a combination of factors that contribute to our health. Its good to take everything into consideration. My Dr said my thyroid numbers were low. She threatened to put me on Synthroid.
I said that I would try supplements first. I supplemented with iodine with kelp and selenium and my thyroid numbers were normal in 6 weeks. My Dr. was shocked and pleased.
Oh, I believe you are so correct about the chems in makeup. Its the diet too. I had a sore armpit for a couple of months. I tried hot packs every couple of hours for two days (also I am on 24 mg Tri iodine/2 brazil nuts) as I figured the lymph glands in my armpit were plugged- yup! All relieved.
Perhaps for later life emergence and diagnosis, but there are many who have had it nearly their entire life. I was diagnosed as a kid, and never one for make up. Selenium is great for thyroid as we tend to be depleted with low functioning thyroid. Added iodine/kelp (among other foods) can exacerbate the issue. Depends on hypo versus hashi. Glad your numbers are good. Not a one fits all scenario at all.
Main reasons are these: makeup, worst diet, antiperspirants, Fluoride (in toothpaste)
How much iodine were you taking?
@@ty8473 Hello I am still taking both supplements. The iodine with kelp is a liquid. One dropper per day is 150mg of iodine and 2mg of kelp. I also take 100mg of Selenium it's in a tablet. I hope that helps you.
Thank you both.
Thanks for watching!
The mitochondria information just blew my mind!!! 🤯🤯🤯 I wish I could send this video to my doctor.
How do we correct these deficiencies? I have no thyroid due to Hashimotos and Graves .
When I stopped gluten my thyroid antibiotics fell from 400 to less than 10.
This is amazing news! Did u quit dairy as well? I cut out gluten I’m gonna get my antibodies checked and May to see if it makes a difference. I’ve also cut out dairy temporarily.
How long did it take to achieve that please?
@@GigiAvirett. Stop the dairy family, table sugar, gluten, and alcohol. Only use two oils: olive and coconut.
Thank you for this video dr berg
Glad I could assist.
You are welcome. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this info. My husband has border line hyper thyroid. I used a lot of garlic , onion and bell pepper in my cooking.
Can you please help us what are your meal plan and what vitamins you take to heal this. I think my mom has these because her thyroid test are all normal but her thyroid is inflamed. She's having difficulty swallowing now. She even experiencing pain from her hands to shoulder. 😢
