Hashimoto’s and the MicroBiome

Micro biome so that's like the word today the micro biome it's kind of cool you know and it's but it's big deal they
00:00:08
did a they did a test on the micro biome not test a research project at Harvard a couple years ago on the micro biome I
00:00:18
and and I personally know one of the one of the doctors that was involved in that whole test and that whole research
00:00:26
project and it and it was a mind-blowing project the micro biome is basically the three to five pounds of good and bad
00:00:35
bacteria that's in your gut and it's becoming more and more and more understood that that this gut thing is a
00:00:47
humongous deal relative to our health not just not just Hashimoto's hell's not just our immune health but the mental
00:00:56
health to it is obviously digestive health you name it endocrine health you name it it is a big deal which is why
00:01:06
diets are becoming so popular online and probiotics are being you know thrown all over the place and so the microbiome is
00:01:15
and and the microbiome is composed of it should be about 20% bad back to your an 80% good bacteria it's something that's
00:01:23
important to know it's called they're called commenced oral bacteria because they kind of get together they kind of
00:01:28
they kind of the the bad bacteria kind of keep the good bacteria primed for lack of a better term so for those those
00:01:36
of you take a probiotic and you you bloked okay yeah it's because you either have too many bad bacteria or you're bad
00:01:46
bacteria we're starting to figure out how to neutralize your good bacteria which is not a good thing okay so
00:01:54
probiotics can be good but for those of you who taking them and said it's not it's because that balance is on the so
00:02:03
the so the microbiome obviously and they're actually starting to call the human microbiome
00:02:11
an organ they're starting to refer as another organ system in the body and then I could go on for hours about this
00:02:20
research thing because it was like the coolest thing ever it is amazing amazing research projects
00:02:26
as as to how well it was done and how much data it revealed so Hashimoto so it affects everything
00:02:33
well how does it affect Oshawa it's interesting because there's kind of a like mmm you would call wait we've come
00:02:43
to call it the the the Hashimoto's gastrointestinal vicious cycle the brain got got brain cycle they got brain
00:02:57
vicious web though the web there's just a number of names for right up at the bottom all those is the brain can affect
00:03:04
the brain can affect the gut the guy can affect the brain the the the thyroid can affect the gut the guys can affect the
00:03:11
thyroid and a lot of you have noticed that when you start to work on the gut that a lot of your hashimoto symptoms
00:03:19
start to dampen especially gluten you know gluten is it the reason gluten the problem is because your gut sees it as a
00:03:28
in improper entity entering into the system it's big its large it's sticky it's got chemicals on them and the
00:03:36
immune system can't you can't you know it can't handle it and so it creates antibodies to it and it damages the
00:03:43
inside of your intestines and the next thing you know every time you include and you get bowel symptoms some of you
00:03:48
don't get bowel symptoms and you get neurological symptoms and that's got okay that's part of the gut affecting
00:03:55
the thyroid and so so the microbiome being imbalanced it can cause gas it can cause bloating it can cause diarrhea
00:04:04
it can cause the irritable bowel syndrome it can cause where you get constipation and ultimately you get
00:04:12
diarrhea all of these things are going to are going to cause a problem with your immune system because your immune
00:04:20
system 70% you mean system is on the inside lining of your gut and actually it's not just your intestines
00:04:27
okay it's your intestines it's your lung barrier and it's your and and it's your
00:04:32
blood-brain barrier is where the secretory IgA is the fancy name for where the seventy percent of your immune
00:04:40
system or your immune system most of it is located and so anything that disrupts that is going to flare up in immune
00:04:48
responses and then that is going to cause your I she – they know off and to varying degrees you're going to get your
00:04:55
you know you're gonna get the heart palpitations anxiety the panic attacks you're going to get the the insomnia and
00:05:01
or maybe the inward treble tremors things of those nature so you have the gut affecting the microbiome affecting
00:05:10
that got affecting the Hashimoto's on the other hand Hashimoto's is Hashimoto's hypothyroidism okay the vast
00:05:23
majority of Hashimoto's is hypothyroidism there's a small percentage of you that actually are
00:05:29
Hashimoto's hyperthyroidism your your thin your your you have a lot of energy you're jittery and either one okay
00:05:37
either one works because they both alter and got function so they also particularly Hashimoto's is probably
00:05:47
Prai the second most common cause or thyroid let's just say thyroid dysfunction is is probably the second
00:05:56
most common cause of constipation it's probably the second most common cause of stomach problems so the number one cause
00:06:05
of stomach problems is probably stress okay I think I don't say probably it's stress they and and stress causes a
00:06:12
certain chemistry that causes you to break down certain parts of your stomach you can't make hard Clark ass you can't
00:06:20
digest our food and the next thing you know you're getting acid indigestion and the doctors are giving you antacids
00:06:25
which is the dumbest thing in the world to do is something like that because now you're making less hydrochloric acid now
00:06:30
you get an ulcer and it's and it's off to the races okay but thyroid does very similar
00:06:35
basically thyroid alters the ability of the stomach it slows down the ability of the stomach to make hydrochloric acid
00:06:42
there's a number of other chemical reasons that you you you you start to lose the ability of to digest your food
00:06:49
when you have hypothyroidism when you have Hashimoto's I put the horse and then it sets off that whole digestive
00:06:56
chain you know now your acid and that now your stomach's not right you know digesting your food right
00:07:03
you're not sterilizing your food properly for those of you have Candida and if you had proper its stomach
00:07:08
function and with proper logical or yes and improper sterilization you probably don't get Candida you probably don't get
00:07:14
h pylori you probably don't get my small intestinal bacterial overgrowth so it's a big big player
00:07:19
so the Hashimoto's causes they got to be bad and then that's wears off your microbiome okay because now what happens
00:07:27
is everything slows down and and things aren't going into the toilet like they should laying because you get toxins
00:07:34
right this is how you're you this is how you detoxify CONUS the liver it goes the gallbladder causing intestines supposed
00:07:39
to go into the toilet again in the toilet those toxins start getting reabsorbed the bat the microbiome is
00:07:45
thrown off let me tell you when the microbiome is thrown off because of all of this I mean name a symptom name is
00:07:54
symptom and you can have it and I am not joking just you want to talk about the vaginal dryness you want to talk about
00:08:00
anxiety you want to talk about depression you want to talk about inflammatory responses causing athletic
00:08:09
asthma it's insane but because because when the Micra when the Hashimoto's causes the microbiome to be off the
00:08:17
microbiome breaks down Oh leaky gut I think you got OH could not leave the food sensitivities Oh every
00:08:23
time you broccoli I get these are the vicious cycles that can take place in the microbiome is is your gonna that
00:08:31
you're gonna that you're gonna be using the term microbiome in the future who I don't care who you are I don't care what
00:08:37
you know about science or not trust me something that you're gonna be using the term microbiome and the news data is
00:08:44
pretty cool out there there's a lot of new data out there as to how to get your microbiome to be
00:08:48
the way it needs to be for you because everybody's microbiome is a little bit different and and by the way of all the
00:08:55
nations in the world and this was part of that study the United States has the worst microbiome just for the record
00:09:00
okay so so it's it's it's it's a it's a it is a it's a thyroid gut got thyroid thing but more than that it would take
00:09:10
me hours to really go into all the stuff that came out of that study but but the thyroid and yeah the thyroid screw the
00:09:16
thyroid screws up the microbiome the microbiome then screws up everything else and and and and this was part of
00:09:23
the reason why when people would just get off a gluten well I I wasn't here since the day of people just got off
00:09:28
gluten we were just like yeah get off of gluten what's that it's pizza and it's bread and it's pastas off that can't be
00:09:35
held I like setting off of that oh yeah and it's beer too oh no no no no I'm not doing that like dude you got to get off
00:09:42
of this and then I get off of it and a certain percentage of people would feel practice better we would write around
00:09:48
like yeah we're smart we got it but that was just the tip of the iceberg and that frequent that I actually is what what
00:09:55
kind of over a period of time kind of has led to this whole microbiome thing now we knew that there were cross
00:10:01
sensitivities we know there are other Sun series and all of this is wrapped together but but it's it's it's hugely
00:10:08
important in our patients we're now as part of our dietary protocols which are my numbing lis thorough because it's so
00:10:17
important to figure out the diet figure out the food sensitivities now we are now throwing in there certain protocols
00:10:26
and that in the long run to get that microbiome under control and I think these protocols are gonna take the place
00:10:34
of people taking probiotics and in fact I'm sure of it I just don't know how long it's going to take for it to get
00:10:40
into the into the full spectrum of functional medicine practitioners or dietitians or whoever is going to be
00:10:46
doing it so so it's it so it's important might you might want to read up on the microbiome there's a lot of fun stuff
00:10:52
out there on it there's a lot of things that aren't hard to understand you don't have to be like
00:10:56
scientists understand what's going on if you're reading an article where you have to feel like a scientist that's to
00:11:03
understand go to it something else there's a lot of simple explanations for it but but and so I'll leave you with
00:11:09
this I'll leave you with this little teaser it's about eating a ton of it's a it's
00:11:15
about eating a ton a variety of vegetables that's like part of keeping your microbiome and their control knob
00:11:21
foods not fruits not meats not anything it's it's about vegetables so so if you want to start in and if you start eating
00:11:29
a lot of vegetables and you blow up and go you idiot I'm blowing up it's probably cause you got small inputs
00:11:33
Hasselbeck to but that's the microbiome and the and the Hashimoto's is worth exploring as far as you're concerned as
00:11:42
far as your if you're going to a functional medicine doctor you might want to throw it out they may or may not
00:11:46
be familiar with it it's new stuff and so so that's it so hopefully that's helpful you're gonna see one day that
00:11:54
again this was this was kind of a early hit on something that's gonna be really big in in the future as far as a way I
00:12:02
think doctors in general are ultimately going to be recommending okay so I like that one so we'll talk to you again
