-QUESTIONS-

Q1- 9:07

I struggle with Hashimotos and as a result, have major digestive issues. I’ve read that the reason for this is that I am not producing enough Hydrochloric acid. Is this something I can supplement, or are there some sort of enzymes that I can take to aid with digestion? Carol in Florida

 

Q2- 27:05

You’ve mentioned before that taking my basal body temperature is the best way to check my thryoid, but you haven’t found an affordable thermometer for this. What is the big difference in using a normal thermometer to take my temperature and checking my basal temperature? You said that the morning temperature is most accurate, so I have been sticking to this. Angela In Rochester

 

Q3 - 39:32

One of my really good friends became vegetarian and her thyroid seems to be improving. She says that this has to do with the hormones in meat. Have you heard of people successfully healing their thyroid by cutting out meat, and if so, why does it work? Alison In Iowa

 

Q4 - 44:32

I was just talking to my mom the other day, and we were talking about how it seems like there is a sudden onset of thyroid issues these days! Until the past 5-10 years, neither of us remember it being so common to have thyroid issues. What is our culture doing to cause so many thyroid issues all of a sudden? It seems like an epidemic. -Carrie in Williamsburg.

 

Q5 - 48:57

I’ve switched form synthroid to armor thyroid and I got this nasty rash all over my chest and neck.  I am racking my brain to figure out what is going on, and the only thing I can figure is my medication switch or just my thyroid in general because every issue I have seems to relate back to this darn thyroid! Have you heard of this rash issue before, and what is causing it? — Kara in Atlanta
