Leaky gut or congested liver leads to excess free radicals. Free radicals lead to oxidative stress. Oxidative stress leads to excess inflammation. Excess inflammation will eventually cause adrenal fatigue and hypothyroidism

[debbradecker]

Your parents must be very proud of you both!

[sharingtree]

Raising my bed 6in, rebounding, and cold showers all help stimulate my lymphatic system.

[veronicabetan]

OMG!! Dr Axe I just watched your podcast & met your brother for the 1st time. He is just as awesome as you are. Love the information yall are shareing with us. I am having thyroid issues which is causing my low B12 too. Thank you guys SO MUCH!

[lisalavrisha]

Thanks to both of you. I am functional medicine trained but worked in conventional research-- trying to educate the medical doctors. They don't want to hear it-- the paradigm is too different. It's people like you, treating pts and of course, Josh, educating millions and they will educate medicine. This is a great podcast.

[ruthiemacharia]

I was diagnosed with Graves/ hyperthyroidism and I must say this is very enlightening. Thanks

[l-y-n-n-c]

Wow! Listening to you both talk about these issues is so enlightening! I've been having a gut problem and figured that maybe I have leaky gut. I just have no way to get diagnosed or treated. No function medicine doctors here.

[kellycollins]

Thank you both so much. I’ve been struggling so much with my thyroid and adrenals. It seems I’ve tried every way of eating under the sun to heal and haven’t felt better. I’m currently doing the keto diet and it just wasn’t working. I couldn’t understand why especially because I was craving fat but I just couldn’t handle it. when you were talking about eating soups it felt so right to me. so very grateful for you both! I feel I have a new beginning now!

[jazeli]

My daughter has hypothyroidism and its unfortunate that kaiser just wants to give her pills and no alternative tests. 😥 these tests would be so helpful for her wellness and mental health. Thanks for sharing Dr Axe.🙏

[kimcollard]

Truely THANK YOU both.
Keeping it Real for the Men in you audience... Their wives appreciate it...

[kimdaley]

I like that because especially women who go through menopause they have hormonal issues and hormones can actually cause other problems in your body. I don't like it when a doctor just wants to give you a medication just for the symptom without finding out the root cause. Thank you for sharing

[sistaschin]

I love this topic. So relevant. Hashimoto's thyroiditis is rampant in the western world. Much love from Canada 🧡

[monicadahl]

I started learning about natural health more than fifty years ago. I read Adele Davis books. I started taking Super B-Complex.Have low thyroid, hope to lose weight more.

[chelsieromero]

Important Tests:
Organic acid test
Dutch test
Stool testing

[colleenstryken]

Loved this talk between brothers and I want a doctor like your brother, it sounds like he understands a lot about healing the body! Thank-you
I will check him out!

[wonderwomandiana]

I love you both young men. The presentation covered in detail our needs towards health. I will ask my primary doctor for these tests.

[monicadahl]

Also ashawaguanda helped me calm down stress I went through. It is better to use natural remedies, lithium helps my autistic son’s moods level.

[iwnunn]

Find it baffling why most insurance companies don't cover functional Dr's. I'd MUCH rather see a functional Dr.

[artistsmeetfilm]

What if you have a rare DNA situation connected to rare cancers? Not done any methylation, but very familiar with a lot of what you are discussing none of it has ever stopped more complex problem and the care is extremely expensive for years of failed treatments. And I was promised time and time again, told oh stay on it but continued to fail. Very well versed in a lot of this.
