Exposing Hashimoto’s: It’s Not Just Your Thyroid, It’s Your Body Telling You Something is WRONG

Sigh….. I am 51. I’ve had symptoms since I was 19. I could SEE it in my face. I would have a fat face…. Then thin face… then fat face. Back and forth felt awful. All over pain. Got married. Husband saw it all. When I was 28 I saw a DO. The DO told me something is off with your thyroid. Then I got pregnant. A miracle. EVERYTHING worked again so I didn’t deal with the thyroid issue. After the baby I wanted to address it. That DO was now gone. All of my MDS said “your numbers are fine. Your thyroids a bit swollen. We’ll watch. This happened for 15 years. Every pregnancy I got better. I swear o went from overactive thyroid to underactive thyorid… back and forth. I had doctor after doctor tell me your numbers are fine. Let’s do an ultrasound. Thyroid looks fine. Large by fine. Not growing. I got worse and worse. Sicker and sicker. I got to the point that I sounded croupy when breathing. It was scary. It scared my husband. I couldn’t breathe. On top of complete systemic failure. One day I was laying on the couch. Croupy breathing. Blueish skin. I had JUST had an ENT tell me to give it six more months and she would biopsy it. My husband saw me and said ENOUGH. we are going to the ER. I walk in and the doctor on duty hears my breathing. He says get her in here now. This isn’t normal. My blood oxygen was 85. They run text. They do a PET scan. Turns out my thyroid was growing INWARD. It had wrapped around my esophagus and artery. I couldn’t breathe. It was literally choking me. The ultrasound only picks up a certain depth, so that’s why it wasn’t seeing growth. They order immediate emergency thyroidectomy. The next morning. I wake up… BREATHING! I could tell the difference immediately. The surgeon walks in. Quite disturbed. He tells my husband and I that it was definitely cancer. My this was all cancer. It fell apart in his hands. He also tells me my numbers indicated hashi. THEY NEVER SAW THOSE NUMBERS… for years they never checked those numbers. It was in the 40’s. Turns out I had hashi the entire time and somehow it was definitely cancer. Complete removal followed by a few forms of radiation. This wasn’t “the good cancer” as my doctor always said that thyroid cancer is. It was poorly differentiated insular carcinoma of the thyroid stage four. A very rare cancer that is isually only found around Chernobyl. I have lived in Houston my entire life. Its now been seven years after and I still have high numbers that indicate hashi. (Is this normal? With no thyroid) I take armour now and vitamins (most mentioned) but I’ve never been told about the gut connection. Although I have also always had serious gut issues. IBS… Even a hiatal hernia. Women aren’t listened too.

I started seeing a functional doctor 6 months ago. I went gluten free the day I met with her after having blood work. She put me on all the supplements you recommended. Except the iron . I have HH. Life changing for me. I have had hbp for almost 25 years and took meds 7 times a day that keeps my bp down but not good. I am still seeing my functional doctor and am off all my blood pressure meds. I got to the point where I knew I would be in a nursing home if I didn’t get some help. God gave me the courage to seek treatment from her. I feel better now at 67 than I have in over 30 years and in no medication. I was treated for hashimotos about 15 years.

This is the best explanation I have EVER, EVER heard!!! Thank you!

I finally went gluten free/low dairy after being told for 18 months by my GP and rheumatologist that it wasn’t necessary. Saw an improvement in symptoms after a few weeks. Suffice to say I found new doctors.

Hashimoto's survivor here....Synthroid made me feel like I was over 100 years old. I was out of breath just walking from the parking lot to the doctor's office front door (just 50 feet away). I stopped seeing conventional M.Dieties and went to a naturopathic doctor upon the advice of my attorney, who helped me make out my will when I was age 50. I'm now on Armor Thyroid, and I'm feeling better at age 66 than when I was a young teenager. I've also lost a lot of weight from walking 6-8 miles a day during the past three years. I completely avoid grains and processed foods. I take the supplements daily that were prescribed by my naturopathic doctor. He saved my life.

I've been on thyroid meds for over 20 years, I've never heard of the root causes, this is a game changer for me. I'm in my mid 50s but I'm doing more research. I don't like the fact, that most doctors want to give you a pill,send you on your way and not discuss any if this.

I started with chronic headaches at around age nine. Then debilitating cramps and migraines. Once I hit my late thirties, I started having thyroid issues. In my mid forties I was hospitalized because my liver was in distress. No one could understand why my liver and kidney function was off, despite seeing specialists! Just before having half of my thyroid removed, I finally made the connection between gluten and migraines. One year later of being gluten-free, all of the symptoms I have mentioned here have been resolved and my liver is much improved and kidneys are functioning beautifully. I'm so grateful.

Finally a Dr who actually looks further than a blood test! Thank you!!!

I’ve had thyroid issues for years and have never been told any of this. I see and endocrinologist because I was told to see one and honestly I don’t feel they are doing anything for me. Very disappointed with my medical care!! I learned more in this one video than all the years with my doctors.

You are the first Dr. to explain this - over 30 years. Thank you for your message.

"Someone hacked your home security system and now your security system thinks that your thermostat is a threat and it starts to attack your thermostat. Your immune system mistakenly attacks your thyroid making it underactive and effecting the entire body." You can mop the floor all day but if you dont fix the hole in the ceiling, you're gonna be mopping all day and that hole is gonna get bigger and bigger, more water is gonna keep coming down and you aint gonna keep up with the mopping. Hashimotos is the end result of a systemic problem thats been happening for a long time. Triggers: Stress - trauma, chronic stress, viruses, high cortisol, heavy metal toxins, all these things chemically effects and causes havoc to your immune system If you have hashimotos you have leaky gut and gluten intolerance. Your thyroid keeps being assaulted because your security system is still malfunctioning. T4 conversion to T3 happens in yhe gut and liver. The type of bacteria in your gut determines this conversion process. Until you check under the hood you aint gonna block up the hole in the ceiling. Iodine - need it but not too much Selenium - bodyguard for thyroid Zinc Iron Vitamin D B12 Omega 3 Probiotics Ashwaghanda Anti viral support Lysine Whole body issue - requires a whole systemic approach.

I got more info from this short video than I have gotten from any other doctor/ specialist I have seen in my ENTIRE life. THANK YOU!!!

I like that you described what you are wearing to the pod cast people who can’t see you, good job

You speak so well/clearly and efficiently. Should be teaching this stuff in educational institutions. Thank you so much for this.

You made this so clear and consise. I've read so many books on what you summed up in 16 minutes.

Hands down, the best, most informative, educated, easy to follow, video on Hashimoto's I've ever watched! I will be sharing this with everyone I know. Thank you!🙏🏻

That was the best explanation for Hasimoto ever! Thankful your channel popped up.

I've read a lot about the thyroid, and all the conclusions were that no one knows the answer to this complicated disease. But you do. And you presented it so clearly. Thank you for that. 😊

great info, very grateful to have found your channel!! Just bought your book from amazon and can’t wait to start FINALLY (after 40yrs of autoimmune and baaad medical advice over those years)!

This is the clearest explanation I've ever heard! Thanks!
