Dr. Armitstead continues to talk about thyroid health and goes into details of what causes the autoimmune conditions of the thyroid Hashimoto’s and Grave’s disease.  It’s not what you think it is!  She also talks about foods you can add to your diet to truly allow your thyroid to heal.  

This is a great podcast if you want to learn the real reason you have a thyroid condition or if you think you have a thyroid condition but your blood work is normal.  There are so many natural things to do and to actually avoid for better thyroid health that Dr. Armitstead shares in this podcast.  She explains the need to stay away from pesticides, artificial sweeteners, low fat diets (or diets high in the wrong fats), why you don't eat certain foods raw, and why it's important to avoid soy, sugar, and highly refined, processed and packaged foods if you want to heal the thyroid. She also explains how fluoride and mercury toxicity interfere with thyroid function and what to do about it and how stress plays a big part in thyroid hormone imbalance.  Listen to this podcast if you want to learn about healthy fats in general and which fats to avoid even if you don’t have a thyroid condition.

In this episode Dr. Armitstead shares how prevalent parasite infections are in America,  what symptoms they can cause and what herbs are best to take and how to take them.  Because other doctors aren't trained to look for parasites and medical testing isn't thorough Dr. Armitstead by default treats lots of people with parasite infections in her office.  If you are having trouble sleeping, fatigue, or mood swings it might be due to parasites.  If you are having trouble with your bowel movements or bloating it could be parasites.   When you go to your MD these types of complaints are considered manageable and if treated, they are treated usually with over-the-counter medication to only get symptom relief without addressing the real issue.  Dr. Oz says that 90% of Americans will have a parasite problem at some point in their lifetime. I tend to agree.
