This episode of The Dr. K Show hosted by Dr. Michael Karlfeldt, Dr. K interviews Dr. Eric Osansky about thyroid health, particularly focusing on Graves' disease and hyperthyroidism. The show begins with an introduction to the program's purpose of exploring health, consciousness, self-improvement, and spirituality through discussions with experts in various fields. Dr. Osansky shares his personal journey with Graves' disease, which he was diagnosed with in 2008, and how he achieved remission in 2009 using natural approaches rather than conventional medical treatments like anti-thyroid medications, radioactive iodine, or surgery. He explains the symptoms of hyperthyroidism, including weight loss, elevated heart rate, anxiety, insomnia, and hair loss, while emphasizing the importance of addressing the root causes rather than merely managing symptoms.
The discussion delves into the "triad of autoimmunity," which includes genetic predisposition, environmental triggers, and intestinal permeability. Dr. Osansky outlines his comprehensive approach to thyroid health, which involves dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, stress management, and the use of natural herbs like bugleweed and Motherwort. He also emphasizes the importance of comprehensive testing, including thyroid antibodies and functional medicine tests for adrenal and gut health. The conversation further explores the role of sex hormones, liver function, essential nutrients, and the impact of endocrine-disrupting chemicals on thyroid health. Dr. Osansky provides practical advice on minimizing exposure to environmental toxins and highlights the importance of nutrients like selenium, iron, zinc, and vitamins A and D for optimal thyroid function. The episode concludes with Dr. Osansky sharing resources from his books, podcast, and newsletter for listeners seeking additional information on thyroid health.
