What’s the connection between insulin and thyroid disease? Is high cholesterol in any way a result of low thyroid issues? Does 5G radiation affect the thyroid? How do I know if I have any chance to live normally and without the use of thyroid medication?

Today, I’m back with another Q&A episode, answering multiple questions submitted by the Save My Thyroid community. While I can’t get to everyone’s questions every time, I love creating these for you, and I’ll do similar episodes every couple of months. Please share your questions with me by emailing [email protected], and I'll include the most relevant ones in upcoming episodes.

In this episode, I'm answering:

• Q1: What’s the connection between insulin and thyroid disease?
• Q2: My son has complete hair loss, his blood pressure has been elevated, I feel something is off with his kidneys, and he has Hashimoto's. He’s ten years old and was diagnosed at three years old with Hashimoto's. He also has Down syndrome. He is dairy, grain, and soy-free and only eats organic foods. I’ve reduced all the toxins I can think of and taken supplements, but something is still off.
• Q3: I took the vaccine, and I developed hyperthyroidism and Graves’. I’m on methimazole, one pill, five milligrams a day; my antibodies are 458 and coming down. How do I lower my antibodies now that my T3 and T4 are normal and I want to get off the methimazole?
• Q4: Can Graves’ cause anhedonia despite steady thyroid hormone levels?
• Q5: Can low-dose naltrexone (LDN) at 0.05 to 4.5mg help with hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's autoimmune disease?
• Q6: I would like to discuss why methimazole suppresses TSH and why some people have antibodies for both Hashimoto’s and Graves’.
• Q7: I've done a 24-hour iodine loading test, which showed 60%, which is below the 90% level, so I’m deficient in iodine. How long should I wait before testing again?
• Q8: What are your thoughts on taking raw, desiccated glandular supplements?
• Q9: Last year, my husband, Jeff, diagnosed with hypothyroidism, was taking a daily dose of iodine, approximately 550 micrograms. Should he be completely off iodine?
• Q10: Does 5G radiation affect the thyroid?
• Q11: Is high cholesterol in any way a result of low thyroid issues?
• Q12: How do I know if I have any chance of 100% recovery to live normally and without the use of thyroid medication?
• Q13: Can Hashimoto's present as Graves’?

As always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!
