I wish I could tell you that getting on thyroid medication solved all of these problems....
Thyroid medication has helped with sleep, cold tolerance, hypothyroidism-related hair loss, and constipation.
To lower my LDL cholesterol, I increased my fiber intake to at least 30 g of soluble and insoluble fiber per day.
To lower fasting blood sugar, I started eating 30 g of protein at each meal and always paired a high-carbohydrate food with a high-protein or high-fat item. For example, I started eating apples with a handful of nuts. I also exercise daily to keep my blood sugar at a healthy range.
To address gut infections, I did a stool test that showed that I had low stomach acid and low digestive enzymes. I started taking appropriate supplements.
To improve the health of my hair, skin, and nails, I reevaluated all of my supplements. I made sure I wasn't taking too much selenium or vitamin A. I added a non-constipating iron pill. I also did PRP microneedling on my scalp and now do daily scalp massages. In addition, I have a low-level lather therapy "helmet" that I use every other day.
Shocked by my own Hashimoto's experience, I have devoted my life to the care and study of Hashimoto's disease. I constantly teach online, in my private practice, and I am finishing my first book about nutrition for Hashimoto's.
