Hashimoto’s and High Cholesterol

00:00:00
Is Hashimoto's and high cholesterol and the reason I'm taking this question and doing it is because it's something I
00:00:10
see all the time and it's like people come in and they have high cholesterol and they have high LDL s low-density
00:00:31
lipoprotein all you can look at some of our other videos on power health talk.com on that and and but they're
00:00:40
like me and i think i you pretty good and I feel like you know exercise and all that type of stuff so two things
00:00:46
that can cause high cholesterol which most doctors aren't taking into consideration one is actually insulin
00:00:52
resistance one is actually pre-diabetes I won't get into the physiology of it but pre-diabetes causes in some resist
00:00:59
it's a resistance causes high cholesterol it's it's kind of like the basis of all the research for keto stuff
00:01:05
but thyroid hypothyroid and ninety what we'll use Mayo Clinic's numbers and eighty-five to ninety-five percent of
00:01:14
the people out there with hypothyroid likely have Hashimoto's and Hashimoto's is frequently called Hashimoto's
00:01:22
hypothyroid disease so the hypothyroid aspect of it is what creates the condition so basically the
00:01:30
the thyroid has receptor sites all over the body ever and when you get hypothyroid slowing down for two reasons
00:01:40
one it affects the vagus nerve coming off your brainstem and and your vagus nerve is what controls your stomach it
00:01:49
controls your gallbladder it controls your pancreas and controls the it helps the control it controls the movement of
00:01:55
your bowels it's the number one cause of constipation is when that guy's not working controls your liver so
00:02:02
everything slows down cholesterol is cholesterol is made and stored in the liver and so we have
00:02:13
so what happens is when you get hypothyroidism things start to slow down the liver can't clear as well as it
00:02:21
should and the next thing you know you start making what high-density lipids are the they are the they're the good
00:02:31
cholesterol low density bad cholesterol and cholesterol is cholesterol okay so high-density lipid guys usually go down
00:02:38
because those are guys that are going out to your arteries and bringing back the bad cholesterol and the bad
00:02:48
cholesterol is the bad cholesterol because it's it's going into your arteries and staying there and
00:02:52
cholesterol is this cholesterol the when everything slows down the low-density lipoprotein
00:03:06
the overall cholesterol guys don't get out of the liver the way that they should and you start to get this picture
00:03:16
of a high cholesterol and high low-density lipoproteins and if those numbers go down then you know that it
00:03:46
was that it was the liver that was causing it but if you're doing the functional medicine and you're gonna
00:03:53
look for why is that libera having that problem why is that cholesterol going up with nobody's eating wrong with a person
00:04:00
not eating wrong you're exercising you look around you see a thyroid or you see something that's causing the vagus nerve
00:04:06
problem and you okay it's one of those two things that's what I got a treat and one of those two things is
00:04:11
hypothyroidism and so 80 90 % it when it's hypothyroidism it's going to be Hashimoto's so yes Hashimoto's and high
00:04:20
cholesterol and although that wasn't in the question I load see lipids frequently in this practice
00:04:27
the best majority of the time I mean 90% time or more it's it's it's the thyroid that is that is causing the
00:04:39
liver to slow down that's causing the high cholesterol numbers or it's insulin resistance I write in so resistance
00:04:48
think those two things the first time the next time you see high cholesterol and you're thinking I'm doing pretty
00:04:55
good I'm eating pretty good and we're exciting I'm sleeping and and if that's you think thyroid think blood sugar
