Jeanne Schumacher | Thyroid Health and Diet

Jeanne Schumacher is a chemistry teacher who also began packing on pounds, but instead of having a jolt of energy, she felt sluggish and was sick all the time. She had become a frequent patient in the doctor’s office. Her turning point came when she was rushed to the hospital with a 105-degree fever and sky-high blood pressure.

I did not get one bit of valuable information from the 15 minutes of this woman talking in circles.
I was recently diagnosed with Graves Disease, hyperactive thyroid. I have always been skinny, so when I started to loose weight, I went into panic mode and decided to see a doctor. I found out my cholesterol was high, my blood pressure was high, my heart was beating out of my chest. Thanks for a very sharp thinking doctor who zeroed in on what could be causing the high blood pressure all the other problems. In a very short time I had my thyroid tested. The weight loss is one of the symptoms of hyperactive thyroid. I am constantly hungry, and no matter what I eat, I kept loosing weight. I have been on medication for the past three months, and I am starting to feel better. I am 70 yrs weighs 105lbs and I am eating my way towards my goal to gain a few more pounds. Weight loss without out dieting could be thyroid issues.

I've got a degenerative neurological condition that finally put me to a wheelchair a few months ago plus a dozen other neurological conditions. All of them extremely painful. I'm 40. I must be the only person who believes that I'll ever get better. All neurologists gave up on me years ago. I'm just in a process of detoxification and changing my diet drastically. This lady gave me a hope that I'm on the right track. Thank you ❤️🌞 and all the best 🍀

I must say, that although she talked a lot about her experiences, she didn’t give much insight into what she actually ate to control and maintain her ability to stop taking her medication 💊. Therefore this video was a complete waste of time indeed.

Wish she’d gone into more detail about her diet and specifics of the food she changed to that helped her regain her health. There are just too many food theories and what to eat and NOT eat….it’s all confusing and contradictory too. What people don’t realize is that food is addictive, especially sugar. By the time you realize it your already hooked. So now it’s about breaking all the physical food addictions and emotional addictions to 🍱 food. More SPECIFIC information would have been so helpful !

Same for me.. Took Thyroid meds over 15 yrs.. changed to a Plant-based low to no oil/ fat for digestive issues, couldn’t even tolerate my T meds so stopped taking them... (Doctors/Specialists, multiple tests, etc. & Meds couldn’t resolve). 5-6 months into my new diet/lifestyle... I was eating again, Bloodwork was improving along with Excellent Thyroid Function... Been off all Meds over 5 yrs❤️❤️😊😊.

I was diagnosed with hypothyroid, adrenal fatigue, pre diabetic several years ago and went total organic cutting out all oil, meats, fats etc. Was miserable, didn't lose weight and still was dealing with high anxiety. I finally went to a functional doctor who put me on keto and supplemented with BHRT. I went thru a detox doing Keto but Within 3 months I had lost 25 lbs all my hormone numbers were in the normal range, I had high energy which before keto I was in bed most days, had horrible anxiety, all over pain which now all gone. Everyone is different, what worked for her did not work for me only made my symptoms worse. Im not sure what she was on because she didn't discuss her diet, in fact I thought the interview was also a waste of my time. I wish you all the best. Find a nutritionist or doctor that is open to a method that works for you.

I have been on Levothyroxine for over 10 years I just so tired of the medication my doctor to me I will be in it for the rest of my life. I so glad I watch this video this gives me hope

She has a great speaking voice. Could listen to her all day

Important information in this video. Sometimes you feel worse after changing your diet as your body cleanses out stored toxins and people think it's a sign that they are making a mistake. Have to give the body a chance to heal especially if you have been eating the SAD diet for decades. I've got to say she looks radiantly healthy and is a walking testament to what a person can heal with the right food.

I was hoping to find out what foods to eat to cure the thyroid, not so much what her previous eating was like.

[seamusmclaughlin]

The problem is that we have to do our own research in order to figure it out. The doctors don't know. I am grateful to finally have a doctor that wants to help me.

People need to be aware of how dangerous going off thyroid meds can be. I had a friend who did this and was found incoherent. He was taken to ER and survived. But this was after a hospital stay then time in a nursing home to fully recover. It is nothing to mess around with. I'm glad for her but this can be fatal.

Do not look at losers and say there is no hope, make the losers look at you and say there is hope. Thanks for sharing your story.

And God said, "Let the Earth Sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit and which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth and it was so. The Earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit and which is their seed each according to its kind and God saw that it was good

I've been vegan for 5 years. And I was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism.(it's hereditary) I've been eating a lot of processed vegan food recently. And I beginning to think I need to go full veggie and completely cut out the processed stuff. Cause now I'm being put on meds and it's a relief to hear it's all about the foods you eat.

[pinkiepinkster]

I’ve been on armor thyroid for 20 years so I went vegan and started taking guggul, coleus and aloe and after 3 months my dosage of thyroid medication had to be reduced by 25 percent so I am going to continue on this plan and see what happens.

Great show! So glad she touched on families. For mine, the worst sin in their eyes was being fat. You could gamble, drink, smoke, drug it up, or skirt the law all you want, but don't you dare be fat like I was. I recently saw two of my cousins after 20 years and both of them are weed-smoking alcoholics who live on wings and pizza just like they did as kids. They look like they're in their 60s instead of their 40s, but gosh, they're not fat. They have all kinds of health issues, but golly, they're not fat. They can't walk up the stairs without coughing and wheezing, but you guessed it, they're not fat. Meanwhile, I've completely overhauled my diet to WFPB, transforming myself into the best shape of my life, but all they could do was call me nicknames because "dudes don't eat salad." Imagine what would happen to them if they did...

[daisymae]

I’m confused. Did I miss something because I’m wondering WHAT DOES SHE EAT NOW?? DOES SHE EXERCISE?? DOES SHE TAKE SUPPLEMENTS??

[liza-marie]

I have an overactive thyroid. I cut iodine out of my diet and I got off neomerc in less than a year. The size of my thyroid has shrunk and I am honestly living a much better and fuller life.

[colleenparker]

What a joy she is to listen to! I thoroughly enjoyed this. She is so full of life. I hope you’ll have her on again sometime
