Gut health symptoms can look like thyroid hormone symptoms but they're actually gut-driven symptoms. The challenge is that so many symptoms are non-specific. You can be fatigued and depressed from a gut issue or hypothyroidism. - Dr. Michael Ruscio

Power Quotes From The Show

 

"I don't think there are certain foods that would just cause thyroid dysfunction compared to inflaming your gut and just making you generally unwell. However, there have been some completed studies that show simply going on a Paleo diet can improve thyroid function and immunity." - Dr. Michael Ruscio
 
"The primary cause of hyperthyroidism is autoimmunity. So, if the primary regulator of your immune system, your small intestine, and the primary cause of hyperthyroidism is autoimmunity and immune imbalance, there's your connection. If you eat foods that irritate your small intestine, that will likely rev up your immune system and will make the autoimmune symptoms worse or conversely, if you're eating foods that are healthy for your gut, you can see a decrease." - Dr. Michael Ruscio
 
"If you're on a medication and you suspect that you were not correctly diagnosed; especially if you saw an integrative, progressive, or alternative provider, most models of misdiagnoses are from these providers. These providers are not doing it with any bad intention but you should always check your lab work from before you went on thyroid hormone medication and if the lab range didn't flag you high TSH and low T4, then there's a very high probability that you don't need the medication that you're on. Now, don't do anything else before the first meeting with a clinician who can walk you through this and a conventional endocrinologist will probably do a very good job with helping you discover what support is best for you." - Dr. Michael Ruscio
