    Let’s talk about the #1 best home test for hypothyroidism. It can be difficult to figure out if you have a hypothyroid problem. But, this hypothyroidism test will help make it easier to determine right at home.
    Hashimoto’s is behind 90% of hypothyroid cases. Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune disorder where antibodies attack your thyroid.
    When you have Hashimoto’s, you need selenium to help convert the thyroid hormone T4 (the inactive version) to T3 (the active version).
    Sea kelp is a great source of selenium, iodine, and other nutrients for the thyroid gland. Or, just one Brazil nut a day will give you the selenium you need.
    80% of this conversion happens through the liver and the gallbladder. If these organs are damaged, that could be why your thyroid isn’t working. The other 20% occurs in the kidney. Diabetes can cause weakness within the kidney, leading to a thyroid problem.
    Gluten can mimic certain things in your thyroid gland. If you develop an allergy to gluten, you could also develop an allergy to your thyroid gland. If you have a thyroid problem, you should avoid gluten.
    Another condition that could lead to hypothyroidism is estrogen dominance. In this situation, instead of worrying about the thyroid, it may be better to focus on the estrogen dominance issue.
    Thyroid nodules are a classic sign of iodine deficiency. You may want to try my simple test for an iodine deficiency (see how this test is done at 11:45).
    Symptoms of hypothyroidism:
    • Feeling cold frequently
    • Fatigue
    • High cholesterol
    • Depression
    • Puffiness in the face
    • Weight gain
    • Constipation
    • Hair loss
    • Dry skin and dry hair
    • Brain fog

    I rarely comment here, but like others have stated your advice has helped me in repairing my health and managing my Hashimoto's. Your advice also help me avoid an appendectomy. As a matter of fact, I was about to wheeled into surgery, but at the last minute said I changed my mind and asked if there was an alternative option. The doctor looked at me and very hesitantly told me about a heavy dose of antibiotics, which I agreed to. After viewing your video on inflammation and the appendix, I've been 2 years appendix pain free and rebuilt my gut from the antibiotic use. Funny thing is, the nurses and Dr even said I'd be back when my appendix acts up again or worse-ruptures. This had me scared, but then I remembered they have an interest in performing the surgery and stuck to my guns. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

      Wow I can't believe they didn't share with you all the options you could pick from but instead chose for you instead and decided surgery first. Surgery should always be a last resort and every doctor should know that! At least he was honest when you thought to ask, but personally, I believe it was God who helped get you out of there in the nick of time and turn your health around through Dr Berg's videos. God is amazing and He is using Dr. Berg to help His people.

      Great that u didn’t have the surgery. Dr Berg is amazing but I think it’s maybe helpful if u check out dr Gundry as well. He talks a lot about Lectin, how it influences the gut. The important of Microbiome. Many of his patients/followers have cured themselves from Hashimoto’s, many kinds of allergies/autoimmune diseases, or other diseases.
      Dr Gundry is pretty much inline with Dr Berg about Keto, intermit fasting, etc…only Dr Gundry talks more about Lectins. Gluten is just 1 kind of lectin. He tells u Where the lectins r, what they do to the body, how to avoid them. Not just in grains…His video “ur brain is NOT in the head” is also amazing

    Yes. I have been tested so many times for hypothyroidism. The blood tests come back as “normal” but I honestly think the normal range is too vague. I have a lot of the symptoms of hypothyroidism (and sometimes hyperthyroidism-almost like it bounces back and forth if that’s even possible..)and they even scanned my thyroid and said it was enlarged but “it was nothing to worry about-just check yearly to see what’s happening”.. never gave me anything to work on with diet or anything to know to help heal me. I react to wheat/gluten so I avoid it all the time, and I feel swollen in my neck a lot.

They are around my elbows and ankles. They limit actions tremendously.

Several refused but finally one agreed to test. My antibodies were through the roof. Not only that, but for over 15 years, they had been undertreating my thyroid and my levels were never in optimal range.

    I believe menopause tripped up my body and doctors put me on Synthroid in 2007. It helped, but at 66 that was the only med I was taking and wanted off of it. My kinesiologist started treating my pituitary and liver with supplements and I have been Synthroid free since October. It was pretty rough weaning off over 2 months, but I am completely symptom free now. No problems losing weight because I have been eating keto and 18/6 IF the past year. I have no doubt cutting out grains and sugar and fasting helped as much as the supplements. I’m still taking the pituitary supplements. T3/t4 normal and tsh normal. Thank you Dr. Berg!

Lived like this for 40 years. Kept getting tested and T4 was highT3 very low. Have HCV (over 50 years and it's from a transfusion, not stupidity).
    Last year I spoke to an endocrinologist who was ready to put me on Metaformin and porcine thyroid. She won't talk to me again -- I already knew what my bloodwork showed (I'm living Keto!) and refused the porcine, bought a cleaner product. She didn't like that at all -- told me alternatives weren't a part of her training. Pay $50 a month out of my own pocket because it's not Pharma, and so not covered. But it works!
    Whole Gland Desiccated Bovine Thyroid.
    My craving for seaweed went away in a week. I'd always craved the seaweed, and the craving vanished.(If only my craving for sweet would vanish as easily).
    Ultrasound showed nodes on/in the gland before we started treatment.
    It's been nearly a year. Bloodwork shows my thyroid gland is no longer trying to fill the cellular needs (ie: working overtime), the antibodies are still in circulation and so I'll be taking the caps of desiccated bovine thyroid until the antibodies stop.
    After a year, I am losing less hair. Don't think it's growing back, but I'm 72 and recently started taking DHEA because it seems my ovaries have disappeared... Can't be found by ultrasound. So maybe my hair will grow back, be nice to have eyebrows and eyelashes again.
    With the combination of the bovine thyroid and the DHEA I find I sleep better and don't hit the wall (need a nap) as often as I did.

      Where did you find a good source for the dessicated thyroid?

      @@karmasutra4774 Searched the internet. Found Nutri-meds, which offers capsules without additives. There are other companies, but Nutri-meds ships from the US and I have no complaints.

    We love you dr. Berg, if CZcams takes you down we'll follow, I had a CZcams channel with 4,000 subscribers that I interacted with and they took me down a couple years ago for speaking Truth.
