Save My Thyroid: Healing Tips for Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's

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.

  • What's the best diet for Hashimoto's?
    Feb 13 2025

    There’s no one best diet for any health condition but there are certain similarities across diets that are beneficial for those with thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions. For my patients with Graves’ and Hashimoto’s, I typically recommend an AIP diet as a starting point, eventually reintroducing foods which don’t trigger a negative response. While many patients start there, some will choose to follow other diets that people with autoimmune conditions have found to be beneficial.

    Today I’m sharing my dietary recommendations for people with Hashimoto's. I’m discussing the pros and cons of common diet approaches, common foods to include and avoid, and the importance of reintroducing foods after an elimination phase.

    In this episode, you’ll learn about:
    - The three types of diets I discuss in my latest book
    - Common foods to avoid across multiple types of diets
    - What you need to know about elimination diets
    - Why grains and legumes are generally excluded
    - Foods that are allowed and to be avoided on each type of diet
    - How to decide which type of diet is best for you
    -Reintroducing foods after an elimination diet


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

  • Hyperthyroid Diet Tips for 2025
    Feb 11 2025

    “You need a healthy gut to have a healthy immune system.”

    If you have hyperthyroidism, whether it's Graves’ disease, toxic multinodular goiter, or even subclinical hyperthyroidism, then you might wonder what diet you should follow. While there’s no one-size-fits-all diet solution, there are some foundational pillars to keep in mind when determining the right nutrition strategy for you.

    In my latest book, The Hyperthyroid Healing Diet, I explored three different diets in detail, explaining what each involves and how you can start implementing the right one for you. Today, I’ll discuss how different types of foods and diet strategies impact those with hyperthyroidism and the role of diet in the thyroid healing journey. Enjoy the episode!

  • Selenium, Brazil Nuts, and Thyroid Health
    Feb 6 2025

    Selenium is an essential mineral, particularly for those with thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions such as Graves’ disease and Hashimoto's. It plays a significant role in various bodily functions, including acting as a glutathione precursor and helping lower thyroid antibodies.

    While many food sources of selenium exist, their variable levels make it challenging to obtain adequate amounts, especially for people who need additional selenium to support their healing journey. Today, I’m discussing the importance of selenium for thyroid health and answering the question of whether consuming Brazil nuts can provide sufficient selenium for those with deficiencies.

    In this episode, you’ll learn about:
    - The importance of selenium for thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions
    - Selenium's role as a precursor to glutathione and how it affects thyroid antibodies
    - Recommended dosages of selenium
    - The variability of selenium content in Brazil nuts
    - Alternative food sources of selenium and recommendations during healing
    - When to consider supplementation


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