4:58 1) If TSH is too low = work on the brain (pituitary, thyroid - environmental toxin, toxicity) 2) If T4 is not converting into T3 = work on the liver or the gut (Keto, Fasting 36 Hour) 3) If your TSH, T4, and T3 is in balance but you still feel crummy = T3 is not getting into the cell (eat: good fats, eliminate: bad fats, sugar and carbohydrates toxins: heavy metals, pcb plastics, etc.) 4) High Reverse T3 and high Cortisol = work on adrenals (lower stress)
One thing that is often missed ~ iodine~ Iodine is needed to make thyroid hormone the '4' and '3' in T4/T3 indicates 4/3 atoms of iodine- without enough you body cannot make T4 hormone in the first place. Selenium is needed to convert T4 into T3 so this is also a crucial nutrient. I know in Australia our soils are deficient in both iodine and selenium so many are deficient despite a healthy diet. Bromines- eg chlorine and fluoride block up receptors in thyroid for iodine (as chemically the structures are similar) so these can cause issues too.
I was diagnosed with Hashimotos hypothyroidism after a severe reaction to a flu shot in minutes which took me from perfect health and weight to 3 specialists and physical therapy sessions off & on for years. After years of pain fatigue being overweight and just feeling bad all the time even with synthroid and all the doctors look at is thyroid bloodwork is fine so they do nothing but my symptoms are always bad. I have learned so much from your videos and am 100% determined to figure out how to get a better quality of life…thank you for helping me start this journey
This is exactly what I need to bring to my Dr. Can you please send an outline or something of how I can explain this to them? I have has so much blood work it's ridiculous. So frustrated. You explain things so thoroughly. I so appreciate you.❤
Dr Natasha McBride recommends bone broth to help heal gut lining. I also use collagen powder in my soups and stews for extra. I also like eating White Mountain Bulgarian yogurt as one cup has at least 90 billion CFU's.
Fun fact: the inventor of the TSH test said, in the very paper that introduced the test in the 1970s, that the TSH test should NOT be used diagnostically, but when someone has the symptoms of hypothyroidism, a trial of T3 should be used. However, within one year, the "standard of care" literally all over the world, became to test only the TSH and interpret it diagnostically, and to prescribe only T4, not T3. I read the actual paper some years ago, but unfortunately, I didn't print it out. Mysteriously when I search for it now, I haven't been able to find it. Searches only give references to when the test was created. They don't even say who created the test! If anyone can point me to where that paper is, I'd be so grateful.
Thanks so much for making this series of videos on thyroid levels! I’ve had the typical GP experience where my TSH level was ‘okay’ therefore no further tests were requested despite all my obvious symptoms. I paid privately and got T4, T3 and RT3 tests and analysed these myself to identify my issue. I found my T3 was low and my RT3 was very high! After eliminating all other causes and doing my research I think I got my thyroid issue from fasting too much - I didn’t realise I was consuming far too few calories and wasn’t fasting correctly. This wrecked my thyroid and stalled my metabolism - now my weight won’t budge no matter how hard I try. In your next video can you please discuss this as I think ‘caloric restriction’ is an unknown cause of thyroid problems and an inability to lose weight issues. Thank you - look forward to the next one.
I've been thinking this same thing. Too few calories, not enough fat in my diet and to much strenuous exercise trying to lose weight. Now nothing budges my weight even 40 hour fasts. 😔
I believe in her other video she said that HRT3 (high reverse T3) is a result of stress and should lower your stress and you dont really need to fast for your thyroid issue. And heal your adrenals instead.
@@linaa4076high reverse T3 can be due to stress, gut issues, or caloric restriction. I had high reverse t 3 levels for awhile and my doctor suggested lowering stressing and eating more frequently and it corrected things for me. I’m interested in fasting though but I don’t want to damage progress I made.
“Healing Thyroid,” I like that comment Notes: TSH test by doctor, thyroid hormones must go into cell, TSH looks at small piece of puzzle, other organs come into play 1) brain will secrete TSH and T4, T4 has to go into liver & gut for T3, cell must be receptive to receive; pituitary gland; TSH low - brain Liver if t4 not into t3 Thyroid- environment toxic if I’m balance T3- liver & gut if not enough conversation If numbers are fine, look at cell Cel - look at fats, if bad fats, resist reception; need good fats for reception; outer membrane will inflame with high sugar diet. Do Keto and Ket variations. Get off breads, pasta, high sugars Lots of toxics will block receptor site Heal liver, gut and cell, then thyroid will work right. Adrenals send reverse T3, when cortisone goes up.
Ms.Folsom, recently had my thyroid checked everything was normal except T3 was low. I have been doing keto for 5 months (clean keto) with intermittent fasting 18/6 with 2 meals a day no snacking or cheating. But i always constipated all my life since I was 10yrs old. It's normal I don't moved my bowel for 2-3 weeks constantly. I have been telling my doctor something is wrong with my guts but nobody is listening. I get prescribed" Trulance" still doesn't help me. I won't stopped till someone help me with my guts. I will have to fired my doctor in a few weeks.
Just found this channel today. Where I live, as long as your TSH is within normal range on a blood test, the doctors and labs refuse to test any other possibilities for thyroid disease. This makes for a lot of frustrated middle aged women. Looking forward to educating myself after suffering since 2001 after my thyroid was hyperactive for a brief period. A naturopath told me I have hashimotos after reviewing my bloodwork taken earlier by my regular doctor. Due to the pandemic though I have no way to see this naturopath anymore as she is no longer working out of an office locally. Thank heavens for CZcams.

Hey, I am a dentist and I have lost weight and healed my own diabetes through intermittent fasting and ketogenic diet. I still want to know the key points on how to chose good fat for ourselves and also the manner in which to consume.
Thank you so much Dr. Mindy!! I really need this. I have hypothyroidism and my Doctor tells me my numbers are fine, but yet I feel awful! Having weight issues. Just not doing well. I did keto and fasting, but didn't mix it up. I really hope this will help. I am hopeful. Thank you!!!!
Dr Mindy, thanks god for you. I am a thyroid condition sufferer for so long and this video cleared so much for me. I can not thank you enough and I look forward for the rest of these series like any other videos you do. Thank you thank you thank you. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💝💝💝
In this video dr. Mindy suggests the best oils for ketosis. As far as I know, they are the best oils in general. They contain healthy Omega 3 fats. czcams.com/video/MR4Pz9CyRQA/video.html&ab_channel=Dr.MindyPelz
Great Information ~ I’ve been on levothyroxine for years and I have a really hard time keeping weight off. I am moving and will be seeing a new endocrinologist so this information will be a huge help for me to understand.
Please talk about good fats, keto foods, longer fasting on water, will Autophagy heal the thyroid and the other organs involved with the thyroid? What other foods do you need to eat if not doing keto? Do you need supplements to heal the thyroid? Thank you Also if you are doing a longer fast and your blood pressure is higher in the evening what does that mean? Is that connected to the thyroid?
Last year my son 10 year old was diagnosed with type1 diabetic and hyperthyroidism....still in a shock. Super hard and heartbreaking! I did not even know Td1 even exist..☹☹☹😭😭😭😭😭
Could you make a video about life after Thyroidectomy. After I removed my thyroids (I still have Parathyroids) I have started putting on weight and I have diagnosed with Osteoporosis. I am taking 100 mcg of Levothroxen which is not helpful. The doctor look at the T4 and T-SHIRT but not T3 when I do blood test and it is obvious that there is imbalance of T4and T3. I need to know what to eat and supplements and the thyroid hormones to take. Many thanks
I am a 56-year-old woman and last September I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and Graves’ disease my TSH levels have been low from day one my last visit in June my T3 was elevated and my TSH level continues to be low T4 is on track it has only been nine months that I have been on this medication trying various doses when my doctor recommended radioactive therapy at my last visit and I refuse to do such a treatment especially when I haven’t been on the medication for very long I believe based on my numbers and your video that I have environmental toxins in my system and would benefit from your heavy metal reset my sister-in-law sent me this link a month ago I’ve continued to listen to as many videos as I can that you put....I’m not overweight but I have made all the major changes that you’ve recommended fructose etc. I just would like to fix my thyroid and stop having to take this medication that is lowering my white blood cell count putting me in a high-risk category with COVID-19 or any other new flu that may come along nobody wants to live in a bubble.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!!! I’m anxious to watch the next ones in this series. My dr. Noticed an enlargement of my Thyroid 10-yrs ago. My blood test and biopsy did not trigger any alarms for her so just wrote it off as a goiter and that was that. I feel like there’s more going on, my mom used to take “thyroid pill” but I don’t know why and she’s since passed away from PSP 2 yrs ago :(. I’m just trying to get more educated. As I approach 50 I’ve been working on feeling better and trying to remedy a long history of “bad habits” that have put me where I am now. My bad habits are attributable to not knowing! Things I thought were good for me was actually very damaging. Lifelong struggle with dieting/weight loss efforts for example. I’m tuning in and listening to everything here!
Goiter is often caused by low iodine. I have a friend who completely reversed her goiter by taking iodine supplements under her doctor's care. I hope this helps.
After a total thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer _ a trailer load of specialists an doctors, this the best explanation I've ever heard. I now understand completely from which I can make a plan an will carry this chart every time I return to drs and specialists. Thank-you 💖💫💖
I was suffering hyperthyroidism since 2004... I'm a male person...Pls do upload videos regarding thyroid issues... Your videos is very educational... You clearly emphasized the root cause of thyroid problems....Many thanks from Phil..
Oats blended with grinded flaxseeds or plain chia seeds + fruits + yoghurt + some water ( eat this at breakfast time and constipation will be a thing of the past )
Hi Doc, thank you for so much detail , I’m a 67 yr old male , at 60 was diagnosed with stage 3 prostate cancer with Gleason score of 8, had the surgery and an clean now, however after the surgery my thyroid went hypo, got on meds, always tired , weight gain , fast forward, now I feel like a slug, dr says the meds are working and to find a diet that works., none of them do. He says I should be able to eat anything because I’m on levothyroxine , he is not up on this stuff, very frustrating . Thanks for listening .
Please include benign thyro nodules in your next video. Will fasting and low carb help them disappear? Some people with keto say that their nodules got bigger. Thank you!
@@erenta72 It says no one has collected the evidence as to the effectiveness. It doesn't say they don't work. It says there is minimal risk and worth a try if you have the time and motivation. However if you don't then don't worry as most nodules are benign and may shrink anyway. It says some people have reported the packs or topical application of castor oil effective.
Many thanks Dr Mindy. I don't have my tiróide, it all of that information applies to my condition? I love your videos and I am so grateful that you exist. You are a beautiful person. Thank you❤
I have a Thyroid issue! I had surgery at the age of 12 due to a cyst growing on my Thyroid gland. I've chooses to have my tubes tied after my last baby because my Thyroid caused me to gain 75lbs. That's with one baby! I gained almost 80 with my set of twins. I'm now fully vegan and still struggling to lose the last 15lbs of my baby weight. My daughter turns 2 next month.
I can anecdotally confirm all this with a Million Storys. I Actually spent the last 6 Years figuring this all out by myself. My Friends think I have become a Fitness nerd. Tbh I perpetuate this perception sometimes . But in reality I have to act like one to keep my hashimoto and my ADHD in Check. The meds just don't do the Job on their own. The side effect: I am lean, strong and look great. While I got my nutrition right And my conditions in Check, I lost the 30kg of fat I gained due to my thyroid issues and my emotional eating. To be clear: my thyroid degenerated AFTER I started eating crap. My ADHD became Bad as an effect. Since I lost the 30kg I continued eating clean and started Rock climbing. I gained 8kg of mostly muscle in about 2 years. But I have to do everything you say consistently or I meld like a snowflake. The hint that i can tweak my wellbeeing a Little more by fasting has got me all exited. Since I bulked up 8kg, I will shamelessly experiment with it. 😁 Thank you for the great advice
Your videos have brought so much value to my life and I have shared you with soooooo many other people. Today though, I just wanted to tell you that I like your style. You have the coolest shirts!!
Thank you Dr Mindy for taking time and making such informative videos! Iam 31yo, and developed hypothyroidism 6 months post partum. Never had history of hypothyroidism before that! Why did this happen after my first delivery? Would appreciate your insight and thoughts. Thank you so much.
I wish the last three endocrinologists that I’ve seen would have given me even half of this information. I have Graves’ disease and the meds I’ve been put on have more cons than pros. I was careful with my diet and I still gained one pound a day. That kind of fast weight gain is too hard on my body. I used to walk 30 mins every morning and the Dr’s said “keep walking” well I physically couldn’t walk anymore bc I’d be completely out of breath just ten steps in and my muscles felt so tight to where I just couldn’t take one more step. I’m not getting any better, the nodules are still there, the weight gain is not good for my physical or mental health, and I’m just tired of feeling bad but my current Dr wants me to stay on the medication and never says anything about my outrageous weight gain and other issues. I don’t want to have surgery bc all that will do is take my Hyperthyroid and turn it into Hypothyroid. They all say there is no cure but it’s better to have an under active thyroid than it is to have an over active one…. I appreciate the lengths you’ve gone to to explain the entire process of the thyroid function along with its “job” and the jobs of the other parts of the body. Thank you for sharing your knowledge @Dr Mindy Pelz 🙏☺️💝
Thank you for explaining how I could have got this hypothyroidism. Now I will try your advice and see if I can sort this.it’s my first day of fasting for 18 hours and hope this is the start of healing my thyroid🙏
Dr, I'm south african. 56 yrs old. Love watching your videos. So, I gave Graves (diagnosed in 2022). Been put on neo mercazole. Long story short - my T4 has improved was 30 now 24 but my tsh levels never changed it still is critically low at 0.01. Why hasn't that changed if free T4 is improving? Please help.
Great video Jut want to touch on the genetic aspect….. my family does seem to have a genetic disposition for thyroid disease. And the article linked in regarding environmental toxins and thyroid states that 70 % of thyroid conditions are genetic. Can I conclude from my own family history something is being passed down that’s causing a predisposition? Thanks for your great work and I’m always just amazed at your incredible focus on the topic of fasting !!!
My mother has hyperthyroidism. Which organ should she focus on? (Sorry I don't know much about this and may be dealing with a thyroid condition myself. )
I have hyperthyroidism and had been on camazol for over 20 years. I was diagnosed with Grave disease in 2018 and my specialist recommended radioactive iodine, which I refused. I did some research and found Autoimmune Protocol Diet (AIP). Immediately, I eliminated the inflammatory foods listed. I also stopped taking Camazol. My conditions improved despite not taking any poison pill. I embraced the ketogenic lifestyle soon after and felt great until today. My symptoms will return whenever I ingest nightshades, gluten or milk. So, stay keto.
I'm so glad you mention soy. Taking soy isoflavone supplements to stop my hot flushes stopped my thyroxine being absorbed by my body, and I was very ill as a result. I could barely out one foot in front of the other and my body developed cellulitis. (At 11:11)
Wonderful wonderful job doctor, can you please do a video on type1 diabetics with hyperthyroidism in kids! You are the only person who can do it correctly. Can we say the same things for the TD1 and can be reversible. Thanks a bunch
I’d be interested to know your opinion of low estrogen/menopause effect on the thryoid. It’s very common for women to have thyroid issues as they approach menopause. Apparently as estrogen reduces, it affects the amount of thryoid hormone that is made as well as causing inflammation in the body. There are also estrogen receptors in every cell in the body too.
CZcams is my passion project, search my channel and use keywords (thyroid, menopause, etc). I created teaching videos to support you. 💙 Here is a search playlist of videos on “thyroid” to learn more and hear what I have to say: www.youtube.com/@DrMindyPelz/search?query=thyroid
Dr. Mindy, will you do a video on those of us who do not have a thyroid and how to balance T4 & T3 with diet . Thank you for all these wonderful explanations.
My T3, rT3 are normal. My T4 is consistently low. I have an incidentaloma on my pituitary. Taking NP 120 for years…doc added Levothyroxine and t4 went through the roof. Lowered it by half. I’m STILL EXHAUSTED. I do OMAD longer fasts. My water is filtered. No antibacterial soap. Organic whole foods only. Olive oil and butter. No endo has ever helped…now what…I’m exhausted and weight is stuck.
I developed my thyroid condition when I was a child. Found out at 11 but stopped growing at 8. I’m still figuring out when I actually got this disease. I was a healthy fat baby girl. Not sure how I got this at such a young age... definitely struggling and need help! My mom thinks I’m being poisoned by the environment! How do I avoid these chemicals!? Ugh so frustrating.
I have severe mold toxicity and since being tested and diagnosed with severe mold toxicity and MARCONS I've also tested all my thyroid antibodies and have NO thyroid Autoimmune thyroid issues yet I'm severely hypothyroid....
This is wonderful and very informative. Would you be able to do a video showing how this all works when you have had your thyroid removed and are taking relacement meds?
Thank you Dr Mindy for this information! In your experience have you seen thyroid goiter and nodules shrink from fasting and doing the 90 day cellular detox?
I understand this! But you have to be nearly 90% sick before they can diagnose you. If you feel it's your thyroid or adrenals just try this way of being and check yourself. You may never have to go through any of this.
Wow I’ve read all the replies on this and about low calorie and some fasting and how several people think this is what threw them into thyroid problems. I also have hypo thyroid and I think mine was hormonal going through menopause around 43-44. I think what kept me alive was my green vibrance everyday which has so many great nutrients. Also seaweeds. For many years I have had a pretty clean diet a lot of organic and a lot of green drinks and salads. I just had blood work and they said something about my pituitary was not working because my thyroid levels were normal to high so they have lowered my thyroid dose but took me off it for 3 days to reset it. I haven’t gone back for blood work but I am going to do a 48 maybe 72 hour fast and than have the blood work. I’m taking myself off my thyroid and all vitamins during this fast. I’m just curious about electrolytes during a fast. Also can I have black coffee in the morning during the fast.
Hi @erikbadger9087 great question! 💙 Please go to my CZcams channel where you can keyword search to find more information on this topic and so much more! czcams.com/users/DrMindyPelz
Thank you Dr Mindy Pelz and Sequoia Hall for all these thyroid videos! Very helpful information! I have one question, in your practice and experience what causes thyroid nodules and have you seen thyroid nodules decrease in size or go away by fasting?
I have a question that I’m sure somebody would be able to answer. By the way Dr. Mindy, thank you so much for your efforts to convey your knowledge to people in need like myself. My question is, can stain drugs act as blockers to our cell receptors? Can Stains block our receptors? I have been on the these drugs for a little over a year and a half and am working on getting off of them as soon as I can due to the bad side effects. Thank you , John G.

“Healing Thyroid,” I like that comment
Notes: TSH test by doctor, thyroid hormones must go into cell, TSH looks at small piece of puzzle, other organs come into play 1) brain will secrete TSH and T4, T4 has to go into liver & gut for T3, cell must be receptive to receive; pituitary gland;
TSH low - brain
Liver if t4 not into t3
Thyroid- environment toxic if I’m balance
T3- liver & gut if not enough conversation
If numbers are fine, look at cell
Cel - look at fats, if bad fats, resist reception; need good fats for reception; outer membrane will inflame with high sugar diet.
Do Keto and Ket variations.
Get off breads, pasta, high sugars
Lots of toxics will block receptor site
Heal liver, gut and cell, then thyroid will work right.
Adrenals send reverse T3, when cortisone goes up.
T4 by thyroid gland
I think she means the whole system. It's not the thyroid's fault if it's putting put proper amount of T4.

I am a 56-year-old woman and last September I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and Graves’ disease my TSH levels have been low from day one my last visit in June my T3 was elevated and my TSH level continues to be low T4 is on track it has only been nine months that I have been on this medication trying various doses when my doctor recommended radioactive therapy at my last visit and I refuse to do such a treatment especially when I haven’t been on the medication for very long I believe based on my numbers and your video that I have environmental toxins in my system and would benefit from your heavy metal reset my sister-in-law sent me this link a month ago I’ve continued to listen to as many videos as I can that you put....I’m not overweight but I have made all the major changes that you’ve recommended fructose etc. I just would like to fix my thyroid and stop having to take this medication that is lowering my white blood cell count putting me in a high-risk category with COVID-19 or any other new flu that may come along nobody wants to live in a bubble.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!!! I’m anxious to watch the next ones in this series. My dr. Noticed an enlargement of my Thyroid 10-yrs ago. My blood test and biopsy did not trigger any alarms for her so just wrote it off as a goiter and that was that. I feel like there’s more going on, my mom used to take “thyroid pill” but I don’t know why and she’s since passed away from PSP 2 yrs ago :(. I’m just trying to get more educated. As I approach 50 I’ve been working on feeling better and trying to remedy a long history of “bad habits” that have put me where I am now. My bad habits are attributable to not knowing! Things I thought were good for me was actually very damaging. Lifelong struggle with dieting/weight loss efforts for example. I’m tuning in and listening to everything here!
Goiter is often caused by low iodine. I have a friend who completely reversed her goiter by taking iodine supplements under her doctor's care. I hope this helps.
After a total thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer _ a trailer load of specialists an doctors, this the best explanation I've ever heard. I now understand completely from which I can make a plan an will carry this chart every time I return to drs and specialists. Thank-you 💖💫💖
👍
I was suffering hyperthyroidism since 2004... I'm a male person...Pls do upload videos regarding thyroid issues... Your videos is very educational... You clearly emphasized the root cause of thyroid problems....Many thanks from Phil..
Pls pls pls two words for those who have lost their thyroid!
Clean diet.
@@jerrylisby5376 👍 yes.
Hi dr Mindy, I send you my regards from Athens Greece!!! Can you please make a video about uterus fibroids, what’s the cause. Thanks
ZOE MICHA Look into Iodine for any kind of tumors, growths, cysts,etc‼️‼️‼️
What about hashi's and insulin resistance? what can be done?
Hi Dr. Mindy. Any information on how to shrink Thyroid Nodules?
Wow, you are an awesome, compassionate lady, Dr.Mindy! Thank you for your tireless work!
This is like the 20th video about thyroid that I have watched and I am finally getting it. This video is perfect and easy to understand. Thanks!
Great Video. Thank you Dr. MINDY ❤
Great as always, you have clarity to explain and illusion to share and teach.
Great combination
I have hypothyroidism and constipation is big problem
Have you tried magnesium?
Oats blended with grinded flaxseeds or plain chia seeds + fruits + yoghurt + some water ( eat this at breakfast time and constipation will be a thing of the past )
Hi Doc, thank you for so much detail , I’m a 67 yr old male , at 60 was diagnosed with stage 3 prostate cancer with Gleason score of 8, had the surgery and an clean now, however after the surgery my thyroid went hypo, got on meds, always tired , weight gain , fast forward, now I feel like a slug, dr says the meds are working and to find a diet that works., none of them do. He says I should be able to eat anything because I’m on levothyroxine , he is not up on this stuff, very frustrating . Thanks for listening .
Please include benign thyro nodules in your next video. Will fasting and low carb help them disappear? Some people with keto say that their nodules got bigger. Thank you!
Look into castor oil packs..
@@jenib435 www.naturalendocrinesolutions.com/can-castor-oil-packs-dissolve-thyroid-nodules/
According to your link, there’s no much benefit or studies about castor oil.
@@erenta72 It says no one has collected the evidence as to the effectiveness. It doesn't say they don't work. It says there is minimal risk and worth a try if you have the time and motivation. However if you don't then don't worry as most nodules are benign and may shrink anyway. It says some people have reported the packs or topical application of castor oil effective.
Many thanks Dr Mindy. I don't have my tiróide, it all of that information applies to my condition? I love your videos and I am so grateful that you exist. You are a beautiful person. Thank you❤

I have a Thyroid issue! I had surgery at the age of 12 due to a cyst growing on my Thyroid gland. I've chooses to have my tubes tied after my last baby because my Thyroid caused me to gain 75lbs. That's with one baby! I gained almost 80 with my set of twins. I'm now fully vegan and still struggling to lose the last 15lbs of my baby weight. My daughter turns 2 next month.
I can anecdotally confirm all this with a Million Storys. I Actually spent the last 6 Years figuring this all out by myself.
My Friends think I have become a Fitness nerd. Tbh I perpetuate this perception sometimes . But in reality I have to act like one to keep my hashimoto and my ADHD in Check.
The meds just don't do the Job on their own.
The side effect: I am lean, strong and look great.
While I got my nutrition right And my conditions in Check, I lost the 30kg of fat I gained due to my thyroid issues and my emotional eating.
To be clear: my thyroid degenerated AFTER I started eating crap. My ADHD became Bad as an effect.
Since I lost the 30kg I continued eating clean and started Rock climbing. I gained 8kg of mostly muscle in about 2 years.
But I have to do everything you say consistently or I meld like a snowflake.
The hint that i can tweak my wellbeeing a Little more by fasting has got me all exited. Since I bulked up 8kg, I will shamelessly experiment with it. 😁
Thank you for the great advice
I have been on thyroid medicine since the '90s. I need the RESET ACADEMY to send me a copy of the study. thank you for this eye-opener.

Your videos have brought so much value to my life and I have shared you with soooooo many other people. Today though, I just wanted to tell you that I like your style. You have the coolest shirts!!
Thank you Dr Mindy for taking time and making such informative videos!
Iam 31yo, and developed hypothyroidism 6 months post partum. Never had history of hypothyroidism before that! Why did this happen after my first delivery? Would appreciate your insight and thoughts. Thank you so much.
Same here!!! Iodine helped tremendously.
I wish the last three endocrinologists that I’ve seen would have given me even half of this information. I have Graves’ disease and the meds I’ve been put on have more cons than pros. I was careful with my diet and I still gained one pound a day. That kind of fast weight gain is too hard on my body. I used to walk 30 mins every morning and the Dr’s said “keep walking” well I physically couldn’t walk anymore bc I’d be completely out of breath just ten steps in and my muscles felt so tight to where I just couldn’t take one more step. I’m not getting any better, the nodules are still there, the weight gain is not good for my physical or mental health, and I’m just tired of feeling bad but my current Dr wants me to stay on the medication and never says anything about my outrageous weight gain and other issues. I don’t want to have surgery bc all that will do is take my Hyperthyroid and turn it into Hypothyroid. They all say there is no cure but it’s better to have an under active thyroid than it is to have an over active one….
I appreciate the lengths you’ve gone to to explain the entire process of the thyroid function along with its “job” and the jobs of the other parts of the body. Thank you for sharing your knowledge @Dr Mindy Pelz 🙏☺️💝
Thank you for explaining how I could have got this hypothyroidism. Now I will try your advice and see if I can sort this.it’s my first day of fasting for 18 hours and hope this is the start of healing my thyroid🙏
Dr, I'm south african. 56 yrs old. Love watching your videos. So, I gave Graves (diagnosed in 2022). Been put on neo mercazole. Long story short - my T4 has improved was 30 now 24 but my tsh levels never changed it still is critically low at 0.01. Why hasn't that changed if free T4 is improving? Please help.
Thank you for your on going help. You are a gift! ✨🌟✨
This is all so so helpful!!! Thank you so much for going into this!!☺️
Is low TSH related to histamine intolerance?
Thank you
💙
Fascinating. Thank U so much. Most helpful in understanding the thyroid and my own. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I’d like more info on coffee enemas! How often and for how long? What are the benefits?
Could your team please send me the list of 11 factors to be tested in thyroid blood work up? Huge thanks!
Knowledge is power - Thank you for sharing this important information!
Great video
Jut want to touch on the genetic aspect….. my family does seem to have a genetic disposition for thyroid disease. And the article linked in regarding environmental toxins and thyroid states that 70 % of thyroid conditions are genetic. Can I conclude from my own family history something is being passed down that’s causing a predisposition?
Thanks for your great work and I’m always just amazed at your incredible focus on the topic of fasting !!!
I look forward to the next video. I need this info.
I love your videos ,and love how you explain the poor diet and how our liver is a big culprit in our issues.
boy do I know that - drug reactions & had no t3 massive crash - mental, physical all levels we need thyroid hormone!
Thank You Dr Mindy
You’re a great person
For empowering the whole world with information
My mother has hyperthyroidism. Which organ should she focus on? (Sorry I don't know much about this and may be dealing with a thyroid condition myself. )
I have hyperthyroidism and had been on camazol for over 20 years. I was diagnosed with Grave disease in 2018 and my specialist recommended radioactive iodine, which I refused. I did some research and found Autoimmune Protocol Diet (AIP). Immediately, I eliminated the inflammatory foods listed. I also stopped taking Camazol. My conditions improved despite not taking any poison pill. I embraced the ketogenic lifestyle soon after and felt great until today. My symptoms will return whenever I ingest nightshades, gluten or milk. So, stay keto.
Thank you for this video. I'm looking forward to the other videos you mentioned.
Terrific explanation!
Thank You 😊
thank you for all these info! i really need it right now.
I'm so glad you mention soy. Taking soy isoflavone supplements to stop my hot flushes stopped my thyroxine being absorbed by my body, and I was very ill as a result. I could barely out one foot in front of the other and my body developed cellulitis. (At 11:11)
Thank you Dr. You're the best... uniquely clear and easy to understand.
❤️
Thank you so much for great information
Wonderful wonderful job doctor, can you please do a video on type1 diabetics with hyperthyroidism in kids! You are the only person who can do it correctly. Can we say the same things for the TD1 and can be reversible. Thanks a bunch
I’d be interested to know your opinion of low estrogen/menopause effect on the thryoid. It’s very common for women to have thyroid issues as they approach menopause. Apparently as estrogen reduces, it affects the amount of thryoid hormone that is made as well as causing inflammation in the body. There are also estrogen receptors in every cell in the body too.
CZcams is my passion project, search my channel and use keywords (thyroid, menopause, etc). I created teaching videos to support you. 💙 Here is a search playlist of videos on “thyroid” to learn more and hear what I have to say: www.youtube.com/@DrMindyPelz/search?query=thyroid
Dr. Mindy, will you do a video on those of us who do not have a thyroid and how to balance T4 & T3 with diet . Thank you for all these wonderful explanations.
This is my informations about this: www.youtube.com/@DrMindyPelz/search?query=thyroid
My T3, rT3 are normal. My T4 is consistently low. I have an incidentaloma on my pituitary. Taking NP 120 for years…doc added Levothyroxine and t4 went through the roof. Lowered it by half. I’m STILL EXHAUSTED. I do OMAD longer fasts. My water is filtered. No antibacterial soap. Organic whole foods only. Olive oil and butter. No endo has ever helped…now what…I’m exhausted and weight is stuck.
I developed my thyroid condition when I was a child. Found out at 11 but stopped growing at 8. I’m still figuring out when I actually got this disease. I was a healthy fat baby girl. Not sure how I got this at such a young age... definitely struggling and need help! My mom thinks I’m being poisoned by the environment! How do I avoid these chemicals!? Ugh so frustrating.
Excellent!!! Can’t wait for next
I have severe mold toxicity and since being tested and diagnosed with severe mold toxicity and MARCONS I've also tested all my thyroid antibodies and have NO thyroid Autoimmune thyroid issues yet I'm severely hypothyroid....
Thank you so much for explained about thyroid in detailed kindly provide some details how to overcome ATG and ATP autoimmune thyroiditis thank you
This is wonderful and very informative. Would you be able to do a video showing how this all works when you have had your thyroid removed and are taking relacement meds?
Thanks for the video. Very interesting. A question tho: What if TSH are not too low but too high ?

Great educational video!!
Thank you Dr Mindy for this information! In your experience have you seen thyroid goiter and nodules shrink from fasting and doing the 90 day cellular detox?
This makes so much sense. Reset academy
Great great info Dr Mindy, thank you very much ❤️
💗
what TSH/ T3/T4 numbers are ideal?
I understand this! But you have to be nearly 90% sick before they can diagnose you. If you feel it's your thyroid or adrenals just try this way of being and check yourself. You may never have to go through any of this.
Wow I’ve read all the replies on this and about low calorie and some fasting and how several people think this is what threw them into thyroid problems. I also have hypo thyroid and I think mine was hormonal going through menopause around 43-44. I think what kept me alive was my green vibrance everyday which has so many great nutrients. Also seaweeds. For many years I have had a pretty clean diet a lot of organic and a lot of green drinks and salads. I just had blood work and they said something about my pituitary was not working because my thyroid levels were normal to high so they have lowered my thyroid dose but took me off it for 3 days to reset it. I haven’t gone back for blood work but I am going to do a 48 maybe 72 hour fast and than have the blood work. I’m taking myself off my thyroid and all vitamins during this fast. I’m just curious about electrolytes during a fast. Also can I have black coffee in the morning during the fast.
How can anyone ever win?? How can you possibly do everything right??? It seems impossible. We're doomed.
Just cut out sugar that will solve everything
Kerry Orr all sugar? Including honey, fruit, etc?
Just amazing
Dr Mindy thank you very much.
I love you your podcast, very informative.
Does Dr. Mindy have any videos on hyperthyroidism?
Hi @erikbadger9087 great question! 💙 Please go to my CZcams channel where you can keyword search to find more information on this topic and so much more! czcams.com/users/DrMindyPelz
So stink'n helpful!!
Thank you Doc ! Appreciate you.
So helpful !! THANK YOU
🙌
Great Video
Thank you Dr Mindy Pelz and Sequoia Hall for all these thyroid videos! Very helpful information! I have one question, in your practice and experience what causes thyroid nodules and have you seen thyroid nodules decrease in size or go away by fasting?
I have a question that I’m sure somebody would be able to answer. By the way Dr. Mindy, thank you so much for your efforts to convey your knowledge to people in need like myself. My question is, can stain drugs act as blockers to our cell receptors? Can Stains block our receptors? I have been on the these drugs for a little over a year and a half and am working on getting off of them as soon as I can due to the bad side effects. Thank you ,
John G.
What do you recommend for my scores. TSH 76.40 and T4 Free
