Still confused about the difference between Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism? Leave me any questions you have in the comments! -Dr. Brad
I’ve had persistent chronic fatigue since having Glandular Fever and then Covid within a few months. I’ve since been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and Sjogrens Syndrome. It’s been so hard trying to unpick everything to find the right formula for my fatigue and fibromyalgia.
Hi Donna, yes, that can be really tricky, especially when infections can activate our immune system and cause a worsening of our symptoms. If you can, work with your doc to find some ways to help support your immune system in the aftermath of those infections and see if you can get things to stabilize. From there, you can start to get a better idea of what needs to be worked on going forward. Wishing you the best with everything! Let me know if I can be of any help or answer some additional questions for you!
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's & Hypothyroidism 4 years ago - I found out that i had high chance of seconds autoimmune (Mom, sisters have Sjogrens) and made quick changes. #1 Remove Gluten - it was making me so sick the inflammation was terrible - in doing it even cured my acid reflux . I eat much better, low carbs, good proteins and veggies . Intermittent fasting, walks, pray, eat Brazil nuts and seaweed - 1 week ago my Dr. took me off my Synthroid...Wooo whooo 🥳😃 . Now i'm fixing my liver for my best life ever!
I’ve was diagnosed with Hasimoto’s when I was 40. Am presently on Synthroid .137 mcg. Now at age 76 I find I’m experiencing dizziness, fatigue, brain fog when I went on Blood pressure medication(Entresto ,Lasix, potassium , Crestor). When I drink coffee the condition really flares up. I take Vitamin D, a drop of iodine daily yet can’t seem to get rid of the lightheaded & fatigue issues. What can I do?
Great information Doctor Brad 🙏❤
Thank you Sparkle! This question comes up a lot and it's good to go over it a few times. I hope it was helpful!!
Hi Dr Brodle, I have a long list of hypothyroid symptoms, but normal TSH and T4. I had a full blood panel taken a few weeks ago.
For 20 years since getting EBV I have had hypothyroid symptoms but my TSH and T4 are always normal. I think I have a problem with conversion from T4 to T3. Instead I get a lot of rT3. Is it possible that my liver was damaged with EBV and now it doesn’t make deiodinase 2 enzymes? Do you have any other comments? My lab results are listed below. (Sorry about the units, I’m in New Zealand).
TSH: 1.25 mIU/L
Free T4: 10 pmol/L
Free T3: 4.2 pmol/L
rT3: 141 pmol/L
TPO: 9 IU/mL
TG: 14.1 IU/mL
TRAb: 0.8 IU/L
Honestly FT4 seems to be very low almost on the border, I'm not on thyroid medication and mine is 13,5 but still...occasionally there are mental health or some other symptoms but tgey don't last long, literally for a few hours! My last TSH is 2. Try to rise up FT4 and you will see the difference, also gut - thyroid connection is strong. 😊 I recommend you additional tests if you have any GI related symptoms as myself. I take a break from supplements too. I only take Terranova Hair Skin complex at the moment. 😊
Excellent explanation. 😊
Thank you Nina! I appreciate the feedback and I hope the information was helpful! :)
I've felt that it's important to me to say I have two conditions.
Hi Prairie, to me this makes perfect sense. I think it really helps to clarify what's going on and what the severity of the condition is. This might not be well understood by everyone, but I find it to be extra specific. Thanks for this input!
Great analogy with dogs and dog breeds. This comes up a lot in Hashimoto’s FB groups and it takes a while to explain. I’ll send them this video next time someone asks about it.
Is hypothyroidism reversible? I remember seeing somewhere that once you have it, you have it for life. When I saw that, I wondered why that would be because if you find the root cause or at least the ‘breed of dog’ and then address that, can’t you reverse the condition?
Thanks Dr. Bodle! 😊
Hi Audrey, thanks! I'm glad you liked the analogy as well, since those kinds of examples are always helpful for me to understand new concepts. As I mentioned in the video, it can be a tricky and nuanced issue, so I hope the video helped to make things a bit more clear.
I do think that with the right support our body has the ability to heal, even our thyroid. By tracking labs, we can see the natural production of thyroid hormone start improving, but depending the severity it could still require lifelong management. I've often compared hypothyroidism to a sprained ankle. That injured ankle will always be changed because of the injury and need support, but that doesn't mean that it can't function really well for us. The same goes for our thyroid. It can heal and function well, but we still need to be mindful of the "injury" that occurred in the first place.
One if the very best videos I have seen. Great! Thank You.
That's so awesome to hear Katalin! Thanks for the feedback and I'm really glad it was helpful. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with!
I have Hashimotos, very high antibodies and high TSH and low T4 and T3. My antibodies are now normal after 40 years. I still feel bad, though. I just found out that I have iron deficiency.
Hi Jan, thanks for sharing! This is one of the reasons why Hashimoto's can be so tricky. It's possible for us to have more than one thing going on at a time and a symptom that appears to be related to our thyroid, could be caused by something else like iron deficiency. It can be tough to pull all the pieces together, but keep working on things bit by bit and you'll continue to find ways to improve your health. Sounds like really good work on your part 👍
Thank you.
I think I need a new endocrinologist. I had high Thyroglobulin Ab, but the rest of my labs were normal. Now I am on Unithroid and my TSH is super low. I don't understand why I was put on Unithroid when my T3, T4 and TSH were normal.
Same here. Only anti TG elevated, other hormones turned back to normal after switching to gluten and diary free diet. Recently I avoid tomatoes and all kind of peppers too and feel much better. I also practice a lot of things, thyroid is very complex and it requires a lot of things to change, not only diet. Could you please tell how is your gut health? Do you have any gut issues? Also, muscle/joint pain? I forgot to say I have never been on medication. I also try to avoid nimesulid for migrains, it's not healthy for thyroid. I always try natural solutions.
What about when there's a benign thyroid nodule involved? Is that another box to check for hashimotos?
Possibly, but not necessarily. Hashimoto's makes it more likely that we can develop nodules, but it isn't always the cause. Benign nodules don't necessarily inhibit thyroid function and are relatively common. I would continue to be mindful of the nodule and have it be monitored, but I wouldn't focus on it as it probably isn't causing the symptoms someone is experiencing. Hopefully that makes sense!
Dr. Bodle-is it true that eating ultra-processed food is as harmful as smoking? 🍰🍩🍦
Hi Dennis, I'm not sure about that. I find that articles that use that kind of language are more looking to shock you and get you to click on the article, rather than using a lot of good data to back it up. That said, we know that processed foods are not good for our health, but I don't think this type of comparison is helpful to anyone in terms of better understanding our health or making better choices. Hopefully that makes a bit of sense! Thanks for your question.
@@DrBradBodle OK, thank you!
@@DennisBolanos You're welcome!
Can your TSH be okay but I have all the symptoms :fatigue,dry skin and hair , cold all the time I am on levothyroxin. 35. Doc cut me back from 75 as concerned about bone loss. I already have osteoporosis.
Hi Julie, yes, you can definitely have thyroid symptoms even though your TSH is normal. Here's a video I made on that topic which explains it in more detail. Hope this helps!

My TPO and TGA are 900 and 23 respectively, up from 565 and 16 a year ago; but my TSH is always normal - highest was 5.1 about a year ago and recently dropped to 3.1. T4 perfectly normal. I'm so confused. Is it Hashi's? Shouldn't my TSH be going up instead of dropping? Should I be taking measures to lower my antibodies? My doctor is no help😢
Hi Creative, thanks for reaching out! So this speaks a bit to the point I made in the video about the presence of Hashimoto's, but not enough damage to call it hypothyroidism. Doctors only focus on TSH and whether or not they should provide people with thyroid medication. The problem is... people can still have symptoms in the early stages of Hashimoto's even though the TSH and T4 and normal. I'll link you a few other videos which should help explain this more. Let me know if you have any other questions!
