Why Can’t I Lose Weight With Hashimoto’s?

Question of the day is one I have heard too many times why can't I lose weight with Hashimoto's
00:00:10
or better yet can you guarantee I'm going to lose weight when you treat my hush yes and the answer is kind of I
00:00:19
guess no guarantee aren t but but yes maybe so why can't you lose weight when you Hashima so Kashi Madras is a
00:00:26
multifactorial disease there's so many things that are involved with Hashimoto's as far as attacking the
00:00:32
thyroid and a thyroid affects so many aspects of your physiology if you keep it simple
00:00:41
Hashimoto's I'll step back to is if someone comes in here and says I can't lose weight I've done everything I've
00:00:49
tried I mean I've changed my diet I've eaten every diet I've gone the Weight Watchers Jenny Craig I I run my bike 20
00:00:56
to 20 miles a day and I've tried a little HCG when I only 500 calories a day and just the whole thing and I can't
00:01:03
lose weight it's either gonna be a mismanage diagnosis of your thyroid mr. manager silent thyroiditis
00:01:13
can be caused by thyroid it's going to be mismanaged blood sugar problems or it's going to be miss manage stress
00:01:20
responses I've talked about each one of those others is why we you you can't lose weight but let's just stick with
00:01:29
the thyroid so in in the end Hashimoto's is a autoimmune thyroid disease primary problem is a an attack
00:01:37
against a thyroid and I found out a couple of weeks and a couple weekends ago that that there are 39 triggers for
00:01:49
Hashimoto's that we know of now a lot of Myr a lot of remember food sensitivity triggers and these things will beat up
00:01:56
the thyroid I'm keeping this very simple okay because I'm trying to keep these things at five six eight minutes okay so
00:02:02
so that the thyroid gets beat up get beat up gets tired it starts you know start damaging tissue it's not it's not
00:02:10
it's not making enough thigh hormone most but not all most some some Hashimoto's patients have trouble
00:02:18
putting long way but most Hashimoto's patients can't lose weight because everything slows down they're not making
00:02:24
they're not putting out enough t3 they're not putting out enough t4 so the gut slows down so the gut slows down now
00:02:31
you get leaky gut now yet now you get now you get maybe you get small intestinal bacterial overgrowth maybe
00:02:38
you're not digesting your food properly maybe you're you're not absorbing nutrients properly and and and and so
00:02:44
everything kind of slows them you but and and all of that leads to you not making enough energy in your cells in
00:02:51
the end you know you're not making enough energy it's the old used to be the old well you got to go eat less
00:02:56
calories and go in and exercise more and that works for some people but it doesn't work for Hashimoto's people
00:03:02
because all of that stuff goes to cause you to not get proper nutrients to your to yourself mitochondria are little
00:03:12
organelles in your cells they make energy you're not making areas you're not gonna lose weight I mean you're not
00:03:17
going to lose weight and those are the energy things so you can exercise exercise exercise exercise it doesn't
00:03:22
matter you get an imbalance in bacteria in your gut you can get something called lipopolysaccharide small intestinal
00:03:31
bacterial overgrowth you can get bacteria in your gut bad bacteria in your gut that can actually break down
00:03:41
and then the leftover pieces of the cell walls of those bacteria can get through your leaky gut which is probably caused
00:03:52
by your Hashimoto's and a number of other things and then that can make its way around your system that can create a
00:03:58
lot of inflammation Claud can cause joint pain a lot of other different things but one of the biggest things
00:04:05
that it can do is cause your insulin to not work right so if your insulin doesn't work right your insulin
00:04:11
receptors doesn't work right cortisol insulin keeps trying to hit your cells it keeps trying to get the blood sugar
00:04:17
from your food into your cells it's not getting in there it's not going to utilize properly and and so the
00:04:24
down into triglycerides and the next thing that'll make you put on weight before that the insulin is highly
00:04:33
inflammatory insulin raises something called cortisol cortisol gets high blood sugar that's high for no reason at all
00:04:40
anything you eat causes your you know food sensitivity you eat you you you have this cortisol that gets high the
00:04:47
next thing you know you're creating high blood sugar from eating broccoli what you were allergic to your and your blood
00:04:54
Sugar's going up you can't lose weight and you're gonna like what the heck's going on here I know I don't expect you
00:04:59
to follow these patterns I'm trying to make a point here this is like multiple vicious cycles stress stress will cause
00:05:06
a problem with your thyroid stress can be a trigger to Hashimoto's Hashimoto's starts getting an inflammatory response
00:05:12
you have stress hormones Hashimoto's goes through all the things I just got done telling you or or you have just
00:05:20
stress hormones in addition to the stress hitting the thyroid both of those increase inflammatory responses both
00:05:27
those increase that's fire cortisol both of those increase your blood sugar next thing you know I can't lose weight and
00:05:36
there's more than you just addition just the immune inflammation from the thyroid starts breaking down the thyroid and
00:05:43
most of you are Hashimoto's hypothyroid and so the more hypo you get the more your energy levels don't work and the
00:05:52
more you end up putting on weight fibroid somebody comes in here and says look I've tried everything I can't I can
00:05:57
not lose weight historically I'm gonna look at thyroid blood sugar we just talked about that adrenals which is the
00:06:07
stress response and anytime anything happens if you get a bad bacteria and it flares up inflammation and hit your
00:06:13
thyroid it creates a hypothyroid response you're not gonna be you're you're not gonna make enough energy your
00:06:19
mitochondria gonna go down any one of those 39 triggers can cause you to create an inflammatory response
00:06:27
attach the thyroid you you're damaging thyroid actual thyroid gland Uhler tissue where you make your thyroid
00:06:33
hormone you're not making that like this you're not gonna lose weight so thyroid Fletcher adrenals stress I
00:06:41
mean I could go on and cover everyone who's not sure what all comes down the same thing you with the exception of the
00:06:49
thin Hashimoto's patient who can't put on weight because their thyroid is being attacked so much that those might have
00:06:57
caught her going like this and and they're like burnin net calories like crazy just sitting in their chair they I
00:07:04
mean I use the case example of the lady who came in here some look I mean fifty nine calories a day
00:07:08
I'm riding my bike twenty miles a day for a year I've lost eight pounds I stopped doing
00:07:14
it for a week and I put five back on that's that's that's that's Hashimoto's thyroiditis it's it's you have to get
00:07:23
the immune inflammatory responses down by figuring out what the triggers are and that that it could be food
00:07:29
sensitivities it can be toxicities it can be nutrient deficiencies it can be bad bacteria it could be a number of
00:07:34
things you that's the that's the battle that's about them that's why when you have Hashimoto's thyroiditis it's hard
00:07:43
loose and and and I said some people don't lose weight will get people will figure out every single new trigger that
00:07:48
we that we can and I would say I would honestly think I would say that 90% of people come in here with Hashimoto's who
00:07:57
can't lose weight all right I would say 90% lose weight very the grease and don't lose all the weight that they
00:08:03
wanted because there's other reasons okay but but then there's that group there's a small group that doesn't lose
00:08:12
the weight no matter what we do and and so there's probably more triggers that we don't know about yet I ran out
00:08:20
with this seminar a couple of weeks ago you're going to hear about some of this stuff because I've learned some really
00:08:24
cool stuff not a ton of it but enough to go like oh my god this is gonna be really helpful and so so we'll be
00:08:32
talking about some of that but yeah this is an evolving situation and and and it's it's a conundrum but for the most
00:08:39
part that is the core kind of explanation of why the Hashimoto's patient can't lose weight
