Which Fast Is Best For Your Thyroid?

🌟 Join the Toxin Reset! 🌟

_________________________
NOTES:

1. Know your numbers
- Gut (24hr)
- Brain (ketones are neuroprotective)
- Liver (longer fasts release of stored sugars) (36 -48hr)

2. Know the end result you are looking for
- Inflammation goes down on the cell membrane.
- Helps with cells being able to bring T3 into the cells

3. Understand the detox effect of fasting & what it can do to your thyroid
- Autophagy vs. Apoptosis
- Redistribution of toxins
- BIND

4. What the research shows

- In Ramadan, minimal changes are observed in the levels of T3, T4, and TSH in a normal person.[2] --- Few studies have shown that T4 decreases significantly during fasting in Ramadan in both genders, while TSH increases significantly in male subjects, although TSH and T4 levels stay within the normal ranges.
- There is a positive correlation between T4 changes and number of days of fasting in women. Most of these changes revert back to pre-Ramadan levels once fasting is over.

5. Will fasting affect your medications?
- The amount absorbed decreases from 80% in the fasting state to 60% in the fed state.[11]
- So, when taken with food, the absorption of levothyroxine is incomplete, resulting in variable and higher TSH levels.
- Standard drug information resources recommend that levothyroxine should be taken half an hour before breakfast on an empty stomach, to prevent interference of its intestinal uptake by food or medication
- Although there are essentially no data on the adjustment of treatment protocols of patients with thyroid diseases, we have proposed that hypothyroid patients can take their thyroxine at bedtime or a half an hour before Sehr.

6. Which fast would I recommend?
Depends on which organ you are trying to heal...Look at your numbers:

1. Blood work is normal, but you have all the symptoms of a thyroid problem:
-lower cell inflammation with intermittent fasting daily

2. Not converting T4 to T3
-24-hour fasts to heal the gut
-36-hour fasts to heal the liver

3. Thyroid antibodies
-24-hour fasts to heal the gut

4. TSH & T4 issues
-toxicity issue
-more autophagy fasting (17hrs)

5. High RT3
-minimal fasting
-heal adrenals

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and told I would have to be on medication indefinitely.
2 weeks fasting everyday and the problem went away and all of a sudden the doctors told me I no longer needed medication anymore.

[raeann]

After having my thyroid removed because of cancer.. I can honestly say that fasting SAVED my life. I was absolutely miserable. I had gained 35 lbs in the 2 years after surgery.. my stomach was a mess (I was throwing up all the time and constantly in pain) my reverse T3 was SUPER high from all the stress and I literally wanted to die. I even sent my endo a letter saying *You're keeping me ALIVE but you're not keeping me LIVING.* between adding T3 to the levo and fasting.. I havent thrown up since June 2023 and have lost 50 You saved me, Dr. MINDY!!!

I have been on 16/8 for a month, doing it right, taking the mediction and I gained weight! I want to cry, nothing works for (diagnosed with Hypo since I was 15, I am 30 now and I am SO TIRED of the extra weight)

OMG this is a fantastic breakdown of fasting for the thyroid. I just discovered your channel about 4 weeks ago and decided to start IF and keto to help my hashimoto. Have lost 2 kilos, and feel amazing. Lots of mental clarity and the body seems to be responding well.. It definitely feels like it is detoxing and healing inflammation. Thanks Dr Mindy for these videos. Keep them coming.

I’m 3 years late. I’m hoping this comment will work. “Toxin Reset”. Thank you so much Dr. Mindy for all of this information you provide. Praying for God’s blessings to be upon you as you are a blessing to many of us.

[kevinkyu]

I have Hyperthyroidism and could be on medication for the longest time so I'm here researching on good fasting practices. Thank you

[maddieandreid]

This thyroid series is just fantastic!!! Thank you!!!

[DimensionsAndBeyond]

That was absolutely fantastic. I recovered from my thyroid condition (medicated for 20 years) and this explains why we need so much to understand our own profile and work with where our body wants to direct us. This is also a helpful video for helping friends who are currently exploring thyroid recovery options too. Very informative and really helpful on breaking down why we need different things for different levels and types of conditions. Just brilliant - Thank you!

[stepharoni]

I'm only a few minutes in but just want to say the info about reducing inflamation.... of course we know reducing inflammation is ideal and leads to issues but that it actually helps the thyroid hormones better work is a game changer THANK YOU

[nanchik]

My thyroid was removed 11 years ago. It’s being a struggle but I being watching your videos and started fasting since February 1. 16/8 first week and than I switched to Omad and so far lost 14 pounds. You awesome Dr. Mindy- I wish I knew you before my thyroid got removed.

[elisarose]

Excellent video Dr Mindy 👍🏻 currently fasting Ramadan it's 16 hour fast where I live xx

[Katherine-epms]

This is awesome. If only I had this information back in 2015 when they were taking out my thyroid ☹️ what do those of us do without one? I really want to fast for chronic pain. I did a 72 hour fast and like it reduced my pain level by at least 60 percent. I was amazed!! Then I went full on hyperthyroid!!! It was horrible I could barely walk, do the dishes etc because my muscles were so fatigued. I wish I knew where to find a doctor that actually knew what they are doing with thyroid

[midway]

This channel is so important for women! Thank you Dr Mindy!

[Aurora-uhnk]

Wow ! U truly are Unique ! Great content and so helpful indeed, Wish you tons of wellness dear Doctor.
7 years going to doctors telling them levo thyroxin 50 mg daily was making me feel worse ... so I decided to withdraw them for 3 months ( pls do NOT. do this especially if u r on a higher dose, withdrawal symptoms will arise ) . Had my bloods done doc told me my thyroid improved and lowered my dose to 25 mg which I am taking now and feel tons better . I believe plant based with some protein works best for me as this is what I was doing . When I fall off the wagon I SUFFER BIG TIME ! Also cut out or lower as much as u can the sugar I think thyroid hates it !!
This is solely my experience, hope it might help .

Dr. Mindy; You are a lifesaver. I'm 33 and I've had thyroid issues since i was 11 years old. I had to have a cyst removed from my thyroid at 11. I'm upset because I go to the doctor each year an No one has suggested that i get my my levels tested. I was totally unaware that one existed. Thanks to you; I'm about to embark on this 7 day fast more knowledgeable then ever. I've actually completed a 5 day so this isn't my 1st.

[alisonprior]

Brilliant like all Dr Mindy's videos, I wish I could have had access to this information 16 years ago. Thank you

[margat-h]

Great information. Dr. Mindy could you explain why the thyroid develop nodules, cancerous or not, and what to do about it. Thanks

[clondesirena]

Thank you Dr Mindy. For years I was not able to loose weight no matter what. I am 45. 5’2 and I was stuck at 158lbs. It was depressing. I found you in February 2020 and today I am 138lbs. I have not even tried that hard. Thank you and I love you for existing and sharing your wisdom
