Let’s talk about the warning signs of hypothyroidism and go over a few natural remedies for hypothyroidism.

A big problem with taking thyroid hormones over a long time is that the thyroid will become lazy and dependent on the hormones.

Instead of only masking the symptoms, it’s crucial to understand the potential root cause of hypothyroidism, so you can really do something about it.

T4 is the main hormone that the thyroid makes—but it’s not the active form of the thyroid hormone. It’s the precursor to T3, which is the active form. A problem with the liver or kidneys can affect this conversion.

A deficiency in selenium or zinc can also affect this conversion. There are two hormones that can not only affect the conversion but also the production of thyroid hormones—these hormones are estrogen and cortisol.

90% of hypothyroid problems are really Hashimoto’s. A permeability issue with the gut can lead to an immune problem where you develop antibodies against certain things. Gluten sensitivities, allergies, and intolerances have also been linked to hypothyroid problems—especially Hashimoto’s.

Another big factor in Hashimoto’s is inflammation. If you can get rid of inflammation, I think you could see a lot of improvement. Vitamin D and selenium are important natural remedies for Hashimoto’s.

6 years ago I discovered I had slightly elevated thyroid antibodies. The doctor said she wasn't concerned bc she'd seen much worse. I never went back to her but I did change my diet. Cut out gluten, sugar, and dairy. It was horrible at first, felt like I was dying from the detoxing, but it was definitely worth it. I just had my antibodies tested and got the results right before I watched this video and they are completely normal in range. Praise God 🙏🏼

Watching your videos I’ve lost 25 pounds in 5 weeks. I’ve played sports my whole life and was military for 6 years. I hurt my back, gained weight (from 225 to 290)and it took 13 months to get back to some type of normalcy. In that time I was still eating 6 times a day and I started getting depressed/suicidal. Once I was able to hit the gym again I hit it as hard as I can but couldn’t drop weight (I gained more. Got up to 340). It gave me body dysmorphia. I had no gut but love handles and body was just big(defensive end offensive linemen) and not what I was accustomed to. My doctor said I had no issues but needed to lose weight so I saw a dietitian. They put me inside this egg shaped machine that give a body breakdown. Long story short I followed what they said to the letter but nothing worked. Watching your videos helped me immediately, I started a 4/20 intermittent fast along with my workouts and a protein rich keto friendly diet. I had to understand my body is different and seeing a dietitian I did listen for my own good but they did give me more of a cookie cutter experience for my body. You can’t say someone is built like a linebacker(with a high energy motor) and then give them a plan for a regular person who doesn’t work like you do. I thank you and my wife thanks you. I’m finally starting to look how I workout.

I was diagnosed at 9 years old with Hypothyroidism. I'm 44 now and was finally diagnosed with 5 different food allergies: Wheat, Soy, Corn, Peanuts, and Sesame Seeds. My life thus far has been ruined because of it. Most of my life not one Dr. would take my complaints of nausea and vomiting seriously!! It took me four years after doing the research to even get a Dr. to finally give me a food allergy blood test! I'm so angry. Knowing this early in life would have changed my future completely. I was a good kid and an A & B student but as I got older the nausea became debilitating. This greatly affected my social and work life, not to mention the depression that stemmed from it. Avoiding these foods is even more socially isolating which doesn't help my depression and I am not sure what to eat now that can help me heal. Coming from a toxic family, I was often accused of making it up and ignored when I said I don't feel well. Unfortunately, they believed the incompetent doctors over me. The relationship between my parents and I is permanently damaged because of this. 😐 I hope I can find some form of happiness this late in life. I pray my body can heal enough to have my own family. I promise I will treat them better then I was treated. Much prayers needed. 💝

I had thyroid problems at the beginning of last year and it was HEAVILY caused by stress at my job. Every time things got crazy busy, it got worse. I wish more people knew about this, especially about treating your immunity. Thank you for you videos 💙

[MelissaCapriotti]

I just love how it’s always about finding the root of the problem to heal.

This channel is more important than My Doctor as she seems to have no knowledge of healthcare, I have most of those symptoms but she always recommended me to take PARACETAMOL for all kinda Heath issues how sad is it 🥺THQ Dr. Berg for your daily updates on healthcare, it means a lot to me and also to those who can't find clear information about their health problems. literally you save us from blindfold medical world!!MAY GOD bless you and your family and have a lovely weekend 🥰

After giving birth I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I had all the symptoms Dr. Berg mentioned plus swelling all around and pressure around my eyes. I was put on synthroid I took it for a year almost. In that year of taking the medication it made me feel worse. I was always sleepy tired I would sleep throughout the day and I would still wake up tired. I went to Tulum last year and I forgot my medication. The week we were out there without me taking my medication felt amazing I wasn’t tired I was active I felt great so I stopped taking the medication. I went to an all natural doctor in Los Angeles, CA. She told me straight up it wasn’t my thyroid acting up she said I had a fatty liver (usually happens when your gallbladder has been removed). She had me do a colon cleanse and then detoxed my liver. I was taking choline, catsclaw, livtron and zypan. Along with that I was drinking lots of water and eating healthy. Within a month I was glowing and I had a lot of energy I felt like a brand new person. Today I’m struggling a little again but with Dr. Bergs help I will get back to it slowly but surely.

You're blessing not only to those patients who're suffering but also to the doctors around the world to diagnose better.♥️

Had my Thyroid fully removed 😢 i now take Levothyroxine. Back to feeling sluggish, anxiety, hot sweats, feet tingling, always exhausted. It went untreated for years and damaged my heart. My doctor recently increased my medication as in the Levothyroxine. She stated my Thyroid was acting ' crazy ' and the numbers were high.
Praying this higher dosage works. Prayers for all living with this.

"If you get the the root cause of the problem, the problem resolves."
Absolutely the truest words spoken.
Thank you Dr Berg for all you do. You've helped so many people. 💛

I was just diagnosed with hypothyroidism and severely low vitamin D two weeks ago. I was put on vitamin D 50, 000, and once a day med. I have lost four pounds in twelve days. I also do no more than 50 carbs daily. I pray the rest of the weight comes off, along with inflammation in my hands.

I have Hashimotos. For years, I would have such bad gas and stomach pains after meals that I would have to lay down. I was tested for Celiac, but was negative and diagnosed with gluten intolerance. Went on Keto 6 yrs ago, and it changed my life. For the first time in 15 yrs, I was not in pain after meals, and was finally able to lose weight. Still Keto to this day. Will never go back.

[karomatsobirova]

Over 10 years I have had these symptoms, but every time doctors cannot treat me. Dear Dr. Berg you are direct on the point! I will start taking Selenium, iodine and Zinc with vitamin C tomorrow. Thank you very very much! ☺

[Hme]

[Bumbita]

I told my OB that I gained weight all of a sudden... I was always starving, even though I would eat full meals. Her response: "Watch your diet. You're just getting old." Quality care i tell ya!

[lynettesideris]

Love your channel so much doctor Berg. Thank you for your honesty and knowledge, it’s always so helpful !

[Parallel]

Thank you, Dr. Berg. I've had thyroid cancer twice, the first in 2007 and again in 2014. Hypothyroidism is the worst; tired and cold all the time. My biggest complaint is the weight gain. I've been a vegan for decades and careful about what I eat. Nothing I do gets rid of the lbs. But the good news is so far, so good with no reoccurring cancer. Thank you, again,

[jasminateodorovic]

Had no symptoms. A friend of a friend who is an endocrinologist with the experienced 'eye' noticed slight changes on my neck over a casual dinner invite. Tumor had been there for 8 years, 'hiding' and growing towards the inside. Had it removed 4 years ago. All is well now. Writing this for the sake of doing annual check ups, since the symptoms may not occur/be seen/felt, etc. Hope this helps if somebody sees the comment.
