Hashimoto’s Natural Treatment

00:00:00
I'm gonna attempt to answer the question of what is a natural treatment for Hashimoto's and there is no one answer
00:00:08
for that I can have a hundred people come in here with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and have each one of them
00:00:15
have a different flow to it and here's the reason why it goes back to when I first started doing Hashimoto's before
00:00:22
anybody even know what it was and people would come in and I tell them that Hashimoto's they go back to rounder
00:00:26
chronologiste and the endocrinology to say nobody gets that and as you probably know by now if you're watching this it's
00:00:32
rampant it's like an epidemic and and patients used to come in to us and say well I you know I went to my doctor you
00:00:39
want to give me this medication and I want to so I came to you because I heard you treat Hashimoto so I would go
00:00:44
through about what I'm about to tell you and here we go ahead I didn't come here for that I just came here to see if you
00:00:48
got like an herb for like Hashimoto's and because that's where it was at that point in time it was it was I was highly
00:00:56
misunderstood and it still is with a lot of patients who come in here so here's here's the here's the overall deal with
00:01:02
Hashimoto's it's an autoimmune problem it's it's it's it's primarily first and foremost an autoimmune problem it is
00:01:11
secondarily a thyroid problem okay and that's the key so you treat it first as an autoimmune problem and then you have
00:01:21
to kind of go through autoimmunity what flares up autoimmunity stress flares up autoimmunity poor sleep flares up our
00:01:27
immunity over exercising flares of autoimmunity poor relationships flare up on immunity food antigens so food food
00:01:38
sensitivities food allergies gluten being the main one but there's there can be there can be many more if you're
00:01:46
sensitive to gluten usually there's a number of other cross sensitivities that you're gonna find chemical sensitivities
00:01:52
environmental toxicity these are all the things that and and that's not all of them I mean there
00:01:59
there's there's nutrient deficiencies there's just there's a number of things that will flare up your your
00:02:07
autoimmunity too much salt low blood sugar low blood pressure all of these things are has
00:02:14
Effects of physiology that when a person comes in here with autoimmunity this is something that that we look at this is
00:02:22
the way we look at it okay we look at it from the full breadth of what what types of things can can be flaring up an
00:02:30
immune response against a certain tissue and in this particular point that tissue would be your thyroid if a person comes
00:02:37
in here and they've not been on thyroid medication or they've only been on a little thyroid medication for a fairly
00:02:44
short period of time let's say less than two years you can frequently get that thyroid to calm down and start working
00:02:51
properly if you do a good history on that person find out with in the framework of all of those things what's
00:03:00
actually causing them to have an inflammatory response against their immune system that then in turn attacks
00:03:09
Hashimoto's attacks to your thyroid and creates Hashimoto's responses and and and so that's kind of that's kind of how
00:03:17
you have to go about it you have to you have to do a good in history have to figure out maybe run the proper labs to
00:03:22
figure out is there toxicities are they hot do they have all they have old infections that are sitting around from
00:03:28
strep or something like that you have to figure that out and then you can attack and then you can attack leaky gut you
00:03:34
know the leaky gut and and the and the inflammatory the anti-inflammatory diet you've heard of anti-inflammatory diet
00:03:41
that was basically put together for Hashimoto's and then it was kind of discovered that Hashimoto's was related
00:03:48
to a lot of other autoimmune problems and that those other autoimmune problems were responding to the anti-inflammatory
00:03:52
diet and then that morphed into the automated Paleo diet but diet even that diet needs to be dissected out more for
00:04:01
food sensitivities and and and and some of you people come in and and you can't eat anything you have what's called an
00:04:09
oral intolerance problem then it's actually called a world tolerance problem but that sounds kind of
00:04:13
counterintuitive to the fact that you can't tolerate foods so it's so we'll call it oral intolerance for this so
00:04:19
these are all of the things that need to be evaluated for an autoimmune problem what you have to
00:04:26
start realizing is you have an auto immune problem not unlike rheumatoid arthritis not
00:04:34
unlike lupus okay and the goal is is to put you in remission so people call me and they say can you cure me no it's an
00:04:43
auto immune problem you can put it in remission by figuring out what specific areas of that particular patients
00:04:53
physiology are flaring up the immune response and once you figure that out not only can you get them into remission
00:05:02
but then that person will have the specific tools for their particular immune response so that they know how to
00:05:10
hopefully stay in remission or when they get an exacerbation and get out of remission they have an exacerbation
00:05:18
they'll know how to get back into it because it's going to be the same things that put it put them in there in the
00:05:23
first place so that's really the kind of the skinny on on on on what is the natural
00:05:32
treatment for for us she mutters the most those things can be taken care of with lifestyle changes they could be
00:05:39
taken care of with with herbs and botanicals and nutrients of that polyphenols and those types of things it
00:05:46
can be taken care of with of just figuring out and removing poor dietary proteins so you know so basically
00:05:54
lifestyle changes and and dietary changes and nutraceuticals in those types of things so it is a natural
00:06:01
approach it is a natural approach and there are herbs and botanicals specifically for the thyroid but you're
00:06:07
not going to take those herbs and botanicals first if you really want to figure out what's wrong with you because
00:06:14
the herbs and botanicals work on helping your thyroid to make more more thyroid hormone or helping it to convert it
00:06:20
better that's another whole animal we'll talk about and but but you have to figure out all those things first
00:06:26
because if you figure out all those other things you may not need to take herbs and botanicals breda thyroid you
00:06:31
mean I need to take a drug for your thought so there's a hierarchy as how you treat it so that's kind of like the
00:06:37
that one's kind of like it you got to come in and and figure out with me what's right for
00:06:44
you on that one or with somebody with you on that one so so that's it that is that's the kind of the cliffnotes
