Love Your Gut

Ep. 77: Hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto’s, and the Gut–Thyroid Connection with Dr. Eric Osansky


Listen Later

If you’ve ever been told your only options for a thyroid condition are medication, surgery, radioactive iodine, or a restrictive diet… this conversation will open your eyes to what’s possible when you focus on root causes.

I’m joined by Dr. Eric Osansky, a chiropractor, clinical nutritionist, and certified functional medicine practitioner who reversed his own Graves disease naturally and has been helping clients do the same since 2009. We’re sharing both sides of the thyroid spectrum: Dr. Eric’s journey with hyperthyroidism and my own with Hashimoto’s, plus the powerful gut–thyroid connection that changed everything for us.

You’ll hear:

  • Why gut health is central to thyroid autoimmunity
  • The most common gut-related triggers for hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism
  • How herbs like bugleweed and motherwort can support hyperthyroid symptoms
  • The role of stress, adrenal health, and lifestyle foundations in recovery
  • How functional testing (like stool testing, adrenal testing, and HTMA) can uncover the real drivers of your symptoms
