Save My Thyroid

By: Dr. Eric Osansky DC IFMCP
  • Summary

  • If you have hyperthyroidism (Graves' disease, toxic multinodular goiter, etc.) or Hashimoto's thyroiditis and are looking to do everything to save your thyroid gland, then the Save My Thyroid podcast is for you! Dr. Eric Osansky DC, IFMCP is the host, as he personally was diagnosed with Graves' disease in 2008 and was able to get into remission taking a natural approach. He created this podcast to help others with hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's save their thyroid and regain their health. If you have hyperthyroidism then pretty much all of the episodes will benefit you, and if you have Hashimoto's you'll benefit from most of the guest expert episodes, as well as some of the "solo" episodes. The reason there is more of a focus on hyperthyroidism is because all of the other thyroid-related podcasts focus mostly on hypothyroidism/Hashimoto's, and since Dr. Eric personally dealt with Graves' disease he wanted this podcast to focus more on hyperthyroidism, although it will still offer plenty of value to those with hypothyroidism/Hashimoto's. Dr. Eric Osansky lives in Matthews NC with his wife, 2 daughters, 3 cats, 2 dogs, and 3 guinea pigs! He has been a practitioner for 20+ years, and has focused on helping people with thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions since 2009.

  • When following an AIP diet when should you reintroduce foods?
    Jun 13 2024

    The main purpose of the AIP diet is to remove common allergens and foods that could negatively affect gut health. As it is a restrictive diet, eventually, the goal is to reintroduce foods.

    For most people, I recommend following the AIP diet for at least 30 days, but I’m often asked when the right time to start reintroducing foods is. Today, I’m sharing the primary considerations for deciding when to introduce foods that you’ve eliminated while following the AIP diet.

    In this episode, you’ll learn about:
    - The purposes of an elimination diet
    - Common allergens that are excluded from an AIP diet
    - How long to follow the AIP diet
    - Addressing concerns about the AIP diet
    - What order to reintroduce foods


    As always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!

  • Histamine, MCAS, and Thyroid Health with Dr. Meg Mill
    Jun 11 2024

    “We want to make sure to have proper thyroid function to help maintain balanced histamine levels.” - Dr. Meg Mill

    Anxiety, insomnia, gut issues, and allergies. At first glance, symptoms like these might not seem to have anything in common, but when you look at them through the histamine lens, you can start to connect the dots. By addressing the root cause of histamine tolerance, we often find that many mystery symptoms begin to resolve, and patients end up feeling much better.

    Today, I’m joined by Dr. Meg Mill to explore the topic of histamine and mast cell activation syndrome. Dr. Meg is a Pharm D and Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner with over two decades of clinical experience. She is also a bestselling author, podcast host, summit host, and sought-after corporate wellness speaker. Her virtual Functional Medicine practice has transformed the lives of hundreds of clients worldwide by connecting the dots between their diverse, unexplained, and often overlooked health struggles, such as migraines, gut issues, chronic fatigue, skin reactions, anxiety, or allergies. She uses her EAT Methot to uncover and resolve the underlying connections, whether it's histamine intolerance, hormone imbalances, gut dysfunction, or MCAS.

    In this conversation, Dr. Meg and I discuss the basics of histamine and its metabolism, symptoms of histamine intolerance, the connection between histamine and thyroid health, the impact of gut health, hormonal balance, and the microbiome on histamine levels, practical tips for managing histamine intolerance, and more. Enjoy the episode!

  • Can PTU Cause Permanent Liver Damage?
    Jun 6 2024

    Compared to other anti-thyroid medications such as methimazole, propylthiouracil (PTU) is not commonly prescribed by endocrinologists. It’s generally only prescribed in specific cases where the methimazole is contraindicated or not well tolerated.

    It's not uncommon for PTU to cause elevated liver enzymes, and in rare cases, that can lead to liver damage. Thankfully, this is not something I’ve experienced in my practice, as it’s a rare side effect. Today, I’m sharing what the research shows about PTU's potential negative impact on the liver.

    In this episode, you’ll learn about:
    - PTU’s mechanism of action
    - The most common scenarios where PTU is given
    - Case studies on the potential connection between taking PTU and liver damage
    - Recommendations for PTU use and monitoring of liver markers
    - How PTU can interfere with vitamin K activity


    As always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!
