I was tested years ago. I unfortunately got Lyme disease and mold toxicity and that turned into hypothyroidism. However, just took an amazing test that test my gut, mitochondria and oral health and I have faith it will help me. Diet plays a HUGE part in thyroid health. For me, it is a game changer to know food sensitivity. Very key in this! 💕 Ps… hypo ladies and men are also low in B vitamins. When I replaced mine, my dry feet cleared up. However, my daughter tested for sensitivities and she has hypothyroidism but had a sensitivities to B vitamins. Functional medicine doctors are best for these issues.
I go between Hashimoto’s and Graves. It took years to get a dr to look beyond the basic thyroid numbers to get me diagnosed. All the symptoms were there, but doctors just kept saying everything was fine. I kept fighting for answers and finally found a dr who really listened. I have been on medications for years, and when I finally changed my diet, I have had numbers and antibodies in the normal range.
I also have Hashimotos. I was officially diagnosed 10 years ago now, and the struggle is real. To not only feel good, but to lose weight and keep it off. The biggest game changer for me has been taking LDN. To help reduce chronic inflammation. That alongside my thyroid medication has been an amazing combination, with dietary changes (gluten free, dairy free). My best advice is never give up. And always be proactive in your health, find good doctors that want to help and not just mask the symptoms.
I was diagnosed 30 years ago. The one thing I can say is if your synthetic thyroid meds don’t seem to work, switch to desiccated thyroid. Armour or Np. Because you may not be converting the T4 to T3 like I wasn’t. It makes a big difference.
I 💯% agree! When I first got diagnosed, I was going to an Endo and he put me on Synthroid and I felt horrible. I asked if he could prescribe me Armor, and he berated me and told me he was going to send me to another specialist who would give me a speech on why armor does not work. Safe to say, I never went back to him and found a great doctor who would listen to me and my concerns. I have been on NP for a couple years now (as well as LDN, and some adrenal supplements and dietary changes) still at a high dose but I am doing so much better. I just had my levels rechecked and all my numbers are improving so I will keep doing what I’m doing.

Good morning Katie. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 2011 at 41, shortly after getting a new Dr due to no good knowledge, I went to another Dr who did an antibody test and diagnosed me with Hashimoto, I have horrible gut issues, etc. Also, I was recently diagnosed with Horners syndrome! I am on my 4th Dr since diagnosed. I have been to endocrinologist, gastroenterology, etc. No fingers are up for sure. Added to these symptoms, joint pain, inflammation, and cold are some more symptoms. Praying 🙏 everyone finds a way to feel better!!!
I have hashimoto’s, hypothyroidism and IBS. I was getting no where with my endocrinologist who told me to go gardening and I would lose weight. I dumped him and went to a integrative health specialist in thyroid. Found out I was allergic severely to gluten. She put me on NP (pig’s thyroid). Feel alot better. Be your own best advocate and research. Still have some weight to lose but getting there. Thanks, Katie, for being there and supporting the rest of us.
What did she recommend for you ? Did she get you to go gluten free? Thank you for your time
@moonlightdreams911 My specialist always recommends NP or Armour. She believes Synthyroid and Levo have too many chemicals.
Amen to that!! Yes I was on NP for a while as well and felt really good too. Glad you found someone who is helping you feel better!
Thank you ……1)Weight gain…2)Dry skin…3)Hair loss especially the outer crown back top of the head…4) Tiredness despite sleeping + consume well…5)Cold + sweaty temperature… Yes I’m on Thyroxine but ordinary doctored reluctant to increase dose even though still have so many symptoms 💚💟💛God bless you It’s lovely to hear experiences from someone else whom’s actually experienced walked in same shoes…Do Endocrinologists have the power + authority to go over normal doctors + increase your Thyroxine?💚💟🤔
Ok great q – yes! An Endocrinologist specializes in this and they will be the best to determine what appropriate levels and medications dosages would be. Much more equipped than you’re regular doctor
@@LoveSweatFitness Thank you immensely much so for your enlightenments💚💟💛🙌God bless you… I’ve been petrified of confronting my doctor when she’s already lowered my dose despite my blood test proving my Thyroid gland is under functioning…Endocrinologists are expensive over here,but paying to see one + get their expertise has to be better than being under medicated,with too little Thyroxine👍💚
I always presumed the General Practitioners had the final say,so I can’t express how delighted I am to receive your knowledge+ wise words of wisdom😇💚BTW my hair not only falls out + is much thinner, but it’s also immensely dry 😥💚Much love to you+yours from me+mine
I have had hypothyroidism since I was 20! I had all of those symptoms, but particularly the eyebrow issue, the dry skin, and the fatigue! I’ve been taking levothyroxine for decades!!!! I would love to try the Miss Congeniality!!!! That may really help me! ❤❤Nutrition is KEY to helping this, no doubt about it! Exercise helps me too, along with walking every day! Thank you for this video!!!! ❤❤💗
Isn’t the eyebrow thing wild!? So random but super common! Let me know how miss C goes! Most women notice the biggest differences after about a month of daily use
Thanks for sharing! I have most fingers still up.
I am very happy you did this video. I have Hypothyroidism too. Thank you very much posting this video.
You’re so welcome! Hope it helps 🫶🏻
Great, great, great video Katie !!! Ironically I am suspecting not just perimenopause but hypothyroidism as well. Keep these videos coming as it was totally informative 🌹👏🏻💗
Thank you! Really hope it helps! 🫶🏻
Thank you for talking about this. I was diagnosed at 18 and I had to keep pushing and pushing with the drs to find out what was wrong. I gained 30 lbs randomly my freshman year of college and literally couldn’t stay awake during the day because I was so drained of any energy. We need more awareness around this for women!
You are so welcome! And yes, 100% need young women especially to be aware of signs to look out for and talk to their doctors about. It could be lots of things, or nothing, but the more we know the easier it is to get to the bottom of it!
My Mom was diagnosed with hypothyroidism; as well as thyroid cancer. It’s been 1 year since discovering them both. Basically the story goes, she was in an accident and during scans of her body, they found what they called “the largest thyroid gland they’ve ever seen.” It was so swollen they couldn’t believe she hadn’t noticed any symptoms. Looking back I saw all the signs, but didn’t realize what they were.😢She’s currently doing alright. Oncologist and Endocrinologist are working together. Needless to say it’s been one heck of a past year for the family. Much love and respect to you Katie. Thanks for sharing this video.💝
Oh my gosh I’m so sorry to hear about your mom. That has got to be so hard for all of you. Sending lots of love to you!
I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism @ 18yrs old and as that was dangerous I was given radioactive iodine. That killed the hormone and now I have hypothyroidism. I am on medication for life. I have all 7 symptoms you mentioned. It gets worst when going through pre menopause. Workout is my addiction to have energy during the day. It’s hard to loose the weight but I am fighting with my body. I am hoping to follow a better diet to see some changes. Thank you for the story.
Oh I’m so sorry to hear you’ve had such a rough journey too! Glad we can be here together🫶🏻
5/7 I am just recently learning I may have Hypothyroidism / Hashimotos. Currently waiting for my Endocrinologist appointment! Thank you so much for this video!
Best of luck! Let me know how it goes!
Thank you for this helpful video! Do you mind sharing your endocrinologist? I’d love to find a good one instead of my general doctor I’ve been using. Thanks!
Katie, I love you and this channel. When I first got diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 2 1/2 years ago, I went on the hunt for info. You were one of the first resources I came cross and still my fave. So thank you from this girl in Australia. Ps. I didn’t have any fingers left up, had all these symptoms. Xox
I’m 44 and am on thryiod medication, however with peri/pre-menapause all my levels are upside down. Found an endocrinologist as I moved. THANK u Katie, for the listed tests to make sure i get. Thanks 4 the meal plan reminders too.
I was born without a thyroid. I was diagnosed at 10 days old. I was lucky enough to have had a pediatrician who was very active in my case to help me live a normal life. There are still somethings I am still learning about living with it especially with nutrition and being active. Glad to find someone else navigating hypothyroidism with focus on health and nutrition like you 💕
Also – no fingers are still up- even though my TSH, T4 and T3 levels are currently balanced.
I too have Hashimotos, Hypo and IBS
