There’s a time and place for conventional treatment and a time and place for thyroid surgery, but it is possible for many, if not most people, to save their thyroid.” – Dr. Eric Osansky
In this episode of the Thyroid Pharmacist Healing Conversations podcast, I spoke with Dr. Eric Osansky, a chiropractor, clinical nutritionist, and a certified functional medicine practitioner who has dedicated his career to helping individuals with thyroid and autoimmune conditions since 2009. Dr. Osansky, the author of Natural Treatment Solutions for Hyperthyroidism and Graves’ Disease, shares his personal journey with Graves’ Disease, the challenges he faced, and the natural approaches he discovered to reclaim his health.
Like myself, Dr. Osansky’s focus is on addressing the underlying causes of thyroid issues – but he talks about the other side of the coin, hyperthyroidism and Graves’ Disease.
Dr. Eric Osansky is also hosting the Save My Thyroid Summit, a 4-day virtual event that brings together the leading experts in thyroid health, who are sharing their knowledge so that people who are struggling with thyroid symptoms have the information and tools they need to start transforming their health. It starts on May 8th and runs to the 11th – please join us!
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- Dr. Eric Osansky shared his personal journey with Graves’ Disease, emphasizing the significance of natural treatment options he explored after being diagnosed in 2008. His journey shows that people can reclaim their health through a holistic approach rather than solely relying on conventional medications.
- The episode highlights the overlap between Graves’ Disease and Hashimoto’s, discussing how individuals can present symptoms of both conditions simultaneously. Dr. Osansky explains the importance of understanding these conditions as autoimmune issues rather than just thyroid disorders.
- Dr. Osansky recommends natural alternatives for symptom management, such as bugleweed and motherwort, which can help regulate thyroid hormone levels. He emphasizes that while these herbs can be effective, it’s crucial to monitor thyroid function closely to avoid adverse effects.
- The conversation delves into the role of gut health in thyroid conditions, with Dr. Osansky advocating for testing for infections like H. pylori and parasites. Addressing gut health can significantly impact autoimmune responses and overall thyroid function.
- Dr. Osansky discusses thyroid eye disease and suggests supplements such as selenium and alpha-lipoic acid as supportive measures. He stresses the importance of a comprehensive approach to treatment that includes addressing underlying causes, optimizing gut health, and managing inflammation.
