Hashimoto’s Weight Loss

Series on Hashimoto's we're going to be talking about Hashimoto's and weight loss a lot of these come from questions
00:00:05
that we've gotten we got it we had zillion questions so a lot of most of what we're gonna be doing over these not
00:00:12
over these 30 days is answering those questions and then kind of filling in the blanks for you and some of you are
00:00:19
saying Hashimoto's and weight loss I got Hashimoto's and I put on 60 pounds and I can't get it off and and and and
00:00:27
you are the more common Hashimoto's patient okay if you have put on weight I just had a I just had a thin Hashimoto's
00:00:39
patient and if you want more on this we have we have Hashimoto's the thin Hashimoto's patient we have a much
00:00:47
longer presentation on it on power health talk calm and you just type in thin Hashimoto's patient and we'll
00:00:54
explain a lot more about that but just to keep it short about 85 90 % of patients get an immune attack and in
00:01:04
Hashimoto's and it's and it slows down it beats up it's hitting there it's hitting there their thyroid it's
00:01:13
damaging thyroid tissue it's damaging the ability for thyroid submit to be made but and so so so we start getting
00:01:23
so we start getting tired we start getting overweight we start getting swelling around the ankles constipation
00:01:35
all things that are are indicative slow metabolism the thyroid controls your metabolism but there's a number of
00:01:45
patients about depen percent maybe 15 we're probably closer to 10 percent or less that come in who have Hashimoto's
00:01:53
who are are thin they have been mistakenly called hyperthyroidism they have been tested for a Graves disease
00:02:04
Graves disease is an attack on the actual thyroid stimulating hormone that stimulates your
00:02:13
your thyroid and if you get an attack an immune attack on that it keeps making more and more stimulating hormone and
00:02:20
now you stimulate it more you make more thyroid hormone and you're like this so when the when so they're two different
00:02:30
there are two different antibodies that you measure one is called an anti thyroglobulin antibodies and the other
00:02:36
one's called and thyroid peroxidase enzyme and depending I it seems to me like depending on which one of those get
00:02:44
hit or both of them get hit you can go into hyperthyroidism and then and and here's the deal
00:02:51
you'll you'll be thin okay you'll you'll get this attack on your thyroid and instead of you going and and you're
00:03:00
getting tired and getting the weight gain you're actually going to become hyper because because that attack unlike
00:03:09
Graves and what it which attacks something called the thyroid thyroid stimulating hormone it's it's attacking
00:03:18
another part of the thyroid but it is still forcing the thyroid to create more iodine create more which ultimately
00:03:27
creates more thyroid thyroid hormone and now when you get too much thyroid hormone when it's too little you're like
00:03:35
this when it's too much or like that but the interesting part of this is that the the hyper thyroid people generally are
00:03:46
thin they're generally are wired they generally can't sleep they they they they don't really have a lot of the
00:03:54
hypothyroid symptoms from that perspective but most of them do still for some reason their hair it's hair
00:04:00
keeps will fall out their eyebrows will get then their valves will be off and they will have still a number of
00:04:07
hypothyroid symptoms so they kind of like morph back and forth between hypo and hyper but they are hyper when I
00:04:14
first started doing this and and and when I so first started treating Hashimoto's which was quite a while ago
00:04:21
we didn't know almost anything of what I'm talking to you about this what we knew is the person probably had
00:04:28
Hashimoto's and we knew what type of diet to put them on and at that point in time it was get off of gluten that was
00:04:34
our whole diet and and and so and and and the the range is we're gonna talk about this on one of the segments the
00:04:43
ranges for what was hockey my toes were all over the place oh my god there was zero to 100 0 to 0 to 80 for these for
00:04:50
these thyroid peroxidase enzyme so we had to come up with a lot of clinical pearls as to how to figure sail if I had
00:04:57
someone who came in front of me and they had all of the symptoms of Hashimoto's and and they had had their and here's a
00:05:05
uniqueness to this and they had had their thyroid TSH hormone checked and that's in the TSH said that they were
00:05:17
hypothyroid but they were as thin as this pen we knew they had Hashimoto's because that didn't sink them the only
00:05:26
thing that could cause that would be an immune attack against certain parts of the thyroid that would put that person
00:05:31
at the hyper function so there's a lot more on this on the thin Hashimoto's patient there's a lot more nuances it
00:05:38
there's a lot more specificities for those of you who are kind of geeky and want to know what the exact aspects of
00:05:45
the of the thyroid hormones are they get attacked and how they work and the chemistry and all that time stuff but
00:05:51
that's but you can have you can be thin and have Hashimoto's and if you're thin and you have – are you gonna be
00:05:57
hyperactive you're usually going to have anxiety you're gonna have a jittery anxiety maybe difficult time going to
00:06:04
sleep maybe instead I'm in constipation maybe your bowels are gonna be a little bit
00:06:08
too rough and ready to go and and and so you're gonna be more hyper you're gonna be you're gonna be mistaken for a Graves
00:06:15
patient they're gonna run graves and they're not gonna know what's wrong they're gonna tell you they got yeah you
00:06:19
got hyper thyroid and then they're still gonna give you the medication and the medication generally isn't that
00:06:25
successful it can be in some people but it's but as we're going to talk about really that's not the first steps to
00:06:31
take in a case like that so the thin Hashimoto's patient again well they cannot even put on weight they they
00:06:42
not only lose weight but they can't put on weight no matter how they try so that's kind of the Cardinal Cardinal
00:06:49
Cardinal side also along with you have it being thin and having a hypothyroid finding for your thyroid stimulating
00:06:57
hormones so then Hashimoto's patient I think that kind of summarizes it especially with you having that access
00:07:04
to the other video so that's it for today then Hashimoto's patient I hope that
