I hear this question a complete lot. We all have been different, and although we would have the same condition, different interventions could be required for every of us to heal. I started by going dairy and gluten free after having food sensitivity tests that showed I reacted to both. My stomach was grateful extremely. My acid reflux disorder disappeared in 3 days just!
I no more had a chronic cough, diarrhea, or bloating, either. Having learned all about the bond between food and autoimmune disease, I re-tested my TPO antibodies excitedly.
Unfortunately, that they had increased. I became more tired also, and my anxiety worsened. Initially, I was surprised, but found learn that I made the same rookie mistake that individuals who go gluten free usually do. The blood sugar imbalances from gluten free junk food promote adrenal dysfunction, that may affect thyroid function. Eventually, I made a genuine indicate remove soy, and I balanced my blood sugar by consuming lower glycemic index foods. I felt better, and my thyroid antibodies decreased.
soonBut, healing plateaued, and I again started becoming bloated. So I went back to the drawing board and started researching alternative diets. I resonated with the idea behind the GAPS diet, that was made up of nutrient-dense foods like meats, vegetables, fruit, eggs, and nuts, therefore i took the plunge.
I felt better initially. Almost immediately, I noticed increased muscle tone and energy. But even after almost a year, I continued to have digestive issues. I have been trying so hard to get the right diet! Of giving up Instead, I made a decision to follow another diet that removes gluten and dairy, and limits fruit.
I began to immediately have excellent results. I felt happier. My skin solved, my hair again became bouncy and shiny, and I was glowing!
90 days after, my TPO antibodies had dropped to the number. A few of the fruits were leading to blood sugar imbalances. I also did additional testing and determined that I had not been digesting protein properly especially eggs. I further refined my diet by doing an elimination diet and had a different kind of food sensitivity test to recognize additional foods that I might be reacting to without knowing it.
I noticed more joint pain when I consumed the foods I had tested as sensitive toward. Dietary theories are designed to be a starting place. Your own body will provide you with further direction. The connecting thread behind these different diets is that each of them remove various reactive foods. The majority of the diets include animal proteins also, are more nutrient dense compared to the SAD, and remove processed food items.
HOW ABOUT Vegan and Vegetarian Diets? I do not form way too many attachments to any dogmas, be it diets, herbs, medications or other treatment modalities.
My goal is to simply look for the most successful protocols, and also to show my readers what works. While good fat is necessary for normal cell function, we are able to actually survive on little to no carbohydrates inside our diets. These imbalances can donate to anxiety, weight gain, hair thinning, irritability, weakened adrenals, fatigue, and increased thyroid antibodies.
I recommend steering clear of processed carbohydrates, as those may cause the best blood sugar swings. Adhere to natural carbohydrates, such as for example sweet berries and potatoes, but not many initially too. For a few of my clients, even an excessive amount of fruit can throw them off.
It is possible to boost your tolerance of carbohydrates as you heal. Limiting the consumption of Fish Saturated in Mercury Levels Seafood is abundant with omega-3 fatty acids, that may help restore immune balance and reduce inflammation.
However, frequently taking fish that is saturated in mercury can result in elevated degrees of mercury in your body, that may disrupt thyroid function and donate to our toxicity load. Some fish, like tuna and swordfish, are higher in mercury than others – therefore i recommend looking for lower-mercury species like salmon and trout. You may also get omega-3s from supplements, and you will read more about the fish oil supplements that I would recommend. In my experience, iodine must be dosed appropriately to supply benefit and stop harm.
The main element is to consume good fats within fish, coconut and olive oil, and avocados; and prevent bad trans fats, within fried or baked goods, packaged cookies, certain cereals, and hydrogenated oils. When you remove processed foods from your own diet, you will have eliminated almost all kinds of trans fats essentially. You can read more about omega-3 essential fatty acids here. Upping your intake of good fats with fish will probably increase your protein intake also.
People who have chronic illnesses absolutely need more protein within their diet to greatly help support greater cell and tissue repair demands. Protein also acts as the raw fuel to create thyroid hormones and reverse intestinal permeability. I would recommend eating about Because it has already been divided into fine form and separated from other ingredients, protein from powder is simpler to digest than protein from foods generally. Adding Nutrient Dense Healing Foods Besides removing reactive foods potentially, adding in nutrient-dense foods is paramount to healing your gut.
Here are a few of the foods I’ve found to be especially good for the thyroid: Green smoothies – They are a really smart way to improve our intake of nutritious food without the digestive stress.
I would recommend that you get fermented foods, like sauerkraut, that want refrigeration, as probiotic bacteria can only just survive a week or two at room temperature. Bone broth – Bone broth provides healing collagen and nutrients to aid our gut skin and lining. 70 % of readers in my own survey discovered that bone broth helped them feel better.
A lot of people who start drinking hot lemon water on a clear stomach each morning instead of caffeinated beverages are surprised by not simply just how much energy they have, but also just how much better they feel overall. Beets – Beets certainly are a good way to obtain phytonutrients, which perform anti-inflammatory and antioxidant duties in your body. Beets are especially best for people that have MTHFR gene mutations and elevated homocysteine levels, as their betaine content might help breakdown homocysteine.
I would recommend eating one to two 2 servings of beets weekly. Cilantro – Fresh cilantro is an all natural chelator, which means it’ll bind to certain toxins and help excrete them from your body. You can include cilantro to salads, avocados and green juices, and utilize it as a brand new condiment topper on soups. Fiber – Fiber acts just like a sponge since it moves through the digestive process and helps absorb toxins and excess hormones, ultimately supporting their way to excretion.
Turmeric – The curcumin content in turmeric helps support the gut, liver, and inflammatory pathways, and may be especially helpful in case you are experiencing pain. Berries – Berries are an unbelievable way to obtain phytonutrients that become antioxidants in your body. Blueberries are a rich source of myo-inositola nutrient that has been proven to improve thyroid blood and function sugar.
Shoot for servings of berries daily. For most people, that will incorporate some known degree of food sensitivity testing to recognize the foods that are reactive for them. Reactive foods trigger an inflammatory response in the GI tract, resulting in malabsorption of nutrients, and will produce intestinal permeability every time they are eaten also.
Reactions after consuming them might take as as hours or perhaps a couple of days to manifest long, and may include acid reflux disorder, bloating, irritable bowel syndrome, palpitations, joint pain, anxiety, nerve tingling or headaches. A lot of people shall visit a dramatic decrease in symptoms through the elimination of the foods they are sensitive to.
Some will dsicover a significant decrease in thyroid antibodies also. Those three foods have a tendency to be the most problematic for individuals with thyroid conditions, and removing them can result in a significant reduction in symptoms often.
I’m living with it daily and I hate it…. lol it’s true everyone is so different.
Intermittent fasting and Omad might help. It wont hurt just look into it.
Okay, I love this. And side note, Gina s outfit tho…love
Gina is such a queen! I’m getting tested for this disease next week. Thanks for the perfect timing. God bless you all 🙂
Kats Corner good luck with the testing
I just recently got diagnose with this and hypothyroidism and Im on meds but I feel worse but Im learning
God I love Gina. She’s such a pure soul. And she’s super funny and beautiful. 💞💞💞 I have this too and it’s super bad on my memory. I forget things all the time. I gain weight super easy.
Gina is so beautiful
This is a bit of a weird comment. Today I thought I was going to get diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, I watched this video and was ready to take it on. But today one of my scans didn’t come back quite right so I have to have a biopsy to check of one part of my thyroid could become cancer. And I’m scared of it. I’m only 14 I’ve never been sick. Celebrities like Gina educate people how to feel good in your own body even if it changes is so important, so thank you. 🙂
She says, eating good food is expensive.. i just wonder what she eats hmm
Yeah i have hashimotos and im now chunky. Its so hard to lose weight. Im also always tired. My hair is thinning also. I hate it all
feel your pain Crystal…have a lot of clients in your same boat….hang in there
When she read the symptoms…. uh oh I need to make an appointment
I was just diagnosed last week with Hashimoto disease last week. Also have Ulcerative Colitis since 2011. Glad to finally know why I was so tired all the time, a nightmare to lose weight. Thank you for this discussion ❤❤❤❤
Wow I’m glad you are getting answers! I’m getting diagnosed with cystic fibrosis😑 I mean it’s not the same but I understand how you feel with getting diagnosed.
I got hashimoto when I was 13. My doctor said all my symptoms were just puberty… I slept 13 hours and was still tired, sore sweatshirts in the summer, didn’t grow to be 5’9” like I was supposed to. I’m 5’3”. It’s so crazy I’m glad someone finally caught it. Love Gina sooo much.
Love you 😍 depression sucks
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 5 years ago. This was really cool seeing Gina y’all open about it.
This was such a good video. I have hypothyroidism and the symptoms are pretty much the exact same. It’s a thyroid disease too. I’m in tears and im definitely not one to cry but I think I really needed this video
I was just diagnosed today.
I was diagnosed with hashimoto 4 years ago when I was 15 and back then I had never heard about that disease before and I felt like I was the only person on earth who had that because every time I told people about my disease they were like „huh? What’s that?“ and it feels really good to hear others talk about it☺️
late to this vid but omg gina is so inspirational😍
I could literally listen to Gina talk all day
My biggest trigger is stress and the management of that…NO is good…diagnosed with Hashimotos disease 1 year ago…learning each day how to cope💖
i love her!!❤️
If you have hypothyroidism does that mean you automatically have hashimotos? Does anyone know?
Juliana Schwab great! Good to know! Thank you!
no, you can have hypothyroidism without having hashimotos
I was diagnosed with Hashimotos today and this made me feel better
I was diagnosed with hashimotos at 9 years old. I never heard anyone talk about it. It’s so nice to watch this and resonate with everything their saying. Thank you 💕
I have hashimoto and I am super depressed all the time
I would love to have a healthier lifestyle. Eating healthy would be great; but its very expensive. For goodness sake, I can get a meal cheaper, than I can get a bag of grapes or strawberries for. What is hell is that about? Smh
I love Jane the Virgin and of course Gina! But idk how I never knew she had Hashimoto’s, as I have Hashimoto’s too!! Just made me love her even more 💕💕
This was so good.. Gina you are great
I loved her so much before, but now I love her so much more. So inspirational and beautiful❤
What a great video and how sad is that a regular interviews with her where she mainly talks tv shows and dating life get x5 times more views than something useful like this one
It just occured to me that the reason I cant shake this sadness is because of HASHIMOTOS. Id forgotten that it was a symptom. Thanks for the reminder!
@Esther Saldana I tested positive for the Hashimotos marker, but they said my thyroid function was fine for now. Ive heard that symptoms can start showing up before it shows up in your blood work. Do you find that to be true?
Cheryl Pace or Hypothyroidism.
She is a goddess 😍
Hearing the crack in Ginas voice made me tear up, shes such a strong and inspiring woman and i would really love more similar interviews like this!
I have Hypothyroidism since I was basically 2 weeks old and I can relate to this 100%!!
I have this and I’m only 14🤭
I can listen to her speak all day. Help me understand how to love myself
Gina is such an amazing role model for any and everyone, gosh I love her!
Anyone else noticed how Gina got emotional at the end? She is such a sweetheart. So proud she is from Puerto Rico like me!
I loveeeeeeeeee Gina
This made my day. It’s so difficult going through life with symptoms that people find to be “lacking”. But she’s right once and if you can gain control, it’s you deciding how it will make you feel. A superpower not a hindrance.
I’ve been diagnosed since I was 8. Once you’re on medication (and it will change for a while until you balance out) but it’s not scary to have it. It’s the most manageable disease in the world. But I’m glad they’re talking about it because it’s very under diagnosed and so many women especially have it, and getting medication can help you feel so much better.
Love Gina!! ❤️
That asian girl looks 15
. Cant believes shes 33
Sanna Goldman ABSOLUTELY NOT LMAO
@With Chloé same thing
she’s Puerto Rican 😂
Thank you Gina Rodríguez! I have a thyroid issue and I have been in a rut. She is truly an inspiration. I work as a music teacher and I am always tired. I am going to schedule to meet my endocrinologist to help me with my Graves Disease.
If Gina could have her own talk.show 😍
Awkward how Gina focuses on just the weight aspect…… Obviously because this girl is overweight… and this lady never once mentions her weight… LOL akwarddd
Someone please give Gina a talk show!
My body is scarifying because I want to do a project that I love.
my hashimoto’s is due to celiac – I definitely recommend those with a thyroid problem to try going gluten free for a few weeks just to see if it works for you.
I feel like because I have so many health issues I forget that hashimoto’s is a health problem. Thank you for mentioning nutrition!!! It’s so so so important!
You do forget how much your thyroid does.
More interviews like this please! It was so honest and genuine.
Gina is such a down to earth type of girl. It’s great that fame won’t mess with her head
Decades of misery with Hashis and additional AI disorders. One year of carnivore diet and Im a new person. The oxalates in all those healthy plant foods was causing increasing inflammation in joints, lungs, heart; even ended up with kidney calculi. An ancestral animal based diet has worked wonders for me; Im sad I lost so much of my life but grateful to have figured it out while I still have time to enjoy life.
Gina is my absolute favorite girllllll!!!!!!!! OMG love this beaut inside and out!!! Can not wait to hear more from this babe, see what else she has for us!!! Lots of Love Girlfriend!!!!
I was very recently diagnosed with Hasimotos and this interview came to mind a couple of days ago. So happy to find it again. We are a lot stronger than we know. Dear jeez, I needed that. Thank you Gina, and this other girl, for sharing your stories! Much appreciated ladies! 👍👏👏
Gina is truly real 💕
I also have Hashimoto’s Disease. I’ve had it since I was 14. It’s definitely a journey to learn what works for you, I’m still trying to figure it.
Please, someone tell Gina to have a YouTube channel because boyyyyyy, it would be AMAZING.
We need more people to start standing Gina Rodriguez. She is a queen who deserves recognition.
Yaaass!! 👑
Whenever I need a reminder to eat healthy I go to this video
My mom has it
<3!!!!
I have hashimotos and its really sneaky…
Good food is NOT expensive. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes…these are all WAY cheaper than meat, fish and dairy.
It depends what country you live in
I so needed this today. I don’t have this but I do have issues and fighting through it is so tiring. Thank you for talking about it.
Aww! Thats sweet! I wish this interview was longer.
I have hashimotos and am really struggling with it. I got diagnosed two years ago and was started on levothyroxine…that gave me heart palpitations and anxiety and I was only taking 20mcg.. then I was switched to synthroid the name brand and still had palpitations and so much anxiety. I went down to only 10mcg witch is hardly anything and still didnt feel good. Now Im developing a goiter and its scary. Ive started a diet change to hopefully help but Im scared to go back on medicine 😥
Your Window Into Our World have you noticed any type of changes in mood almost like mood swings?
I have Hashimoto’s too… Beautiful video💕
Damn Gina
Thank you so much for posting this. I have been so terrified as to where this disease will carry me. But this gave me the boost I needed.
I am 16 years old and have been diagnosed with hypothyroid this really helps
Ome thing I have on common with gina is depression and fighting it
Gina is amazing 😆🎉❤️
Love you Gina!!! You are Amazing ❤
I wish Gina had a Youtube channel to give advice on different things, she talks so kind but so well at the same time
I missed over 90 days of high school my junior year due to Hashimotos – It took so long to get diagnosed. There were so many seemingly (at the time) unconnected symptoms – heart palpitations, fatigue, mental confusion, hair loss, weight gain, body aches, increased anxiety and depression… It felt like I was trapped in a body that had already given up. It was terrifying to not understand what was happening. My doctor sent me to see cardiologists, neurologists, psychologists… At one point, I slept for over 72 hours straight (to answer some FAQs: My mother forced me awake to drink water, but she wasnt able to get me to eat, and I only got out of bed to go to the bathroom twice). A psychiatrist finally sent me to an endocrinologist and my levels were incredibly low. Took some time to adjust to the medications, but by senior year, I was finally able to start living again. I was, and am, SO grateful to have a diagnosis, to have access to the right medications, and to hear others speak out about their experiences. Thank you, Gina, for being so open, honest, positive, and powerful!!
I was diagnosed with Hashimotos when I was 20 and also told by my endocrinologist I would have a lot of difficulty getting pregnant and carrying a baby to term (had a beautiful healthy full term baby girl at 22 and its all thanks to God 🙌)
Ive definitely struggled with depression, forgetfulness, and fatigue long before I was diagnosed but its been a relief to know Hashimotos was causing it. I definitely agree with Gina about nutrition and having the right mindset 👏
Wow Gina! This touched me to my heart. To hear about Hashimoto disease is so rare. I really love this video and will share to empower others and raise awareness ❤️
I genuinely love Gina ❤️ shes just amazing 😭🙂🙂
OMGGG Gina you are amazing! I’m not Latina but I look up to the person u are!
Beautiful inside & out 👌🏻
i have hashimoto’s and this video is so so important to me. not many people know about hashimoto’s, especially doctors, so having a celebrity advocate for it is so important and so valued.
you are correct Jessie! unfortunately the western medicine world doesnt do a lot for this…but there are a lot of holistic options out there….keep fighting!
I love this
Oh my god I was told at 13 I wouldn’t ever have kids because of hashis
I really needed to hear this today.
Ive had hashimotos since I was 9 or at least thats when I found out I had it.
It affects women differently.. look at how different they look. And mentally.. diet changes everything.
and this is the reason i love gina so much
I was diagnosed in 2013. I changed my diet and lifestyle and no longer have it.
Any tips just got diagnosed ??
This girl Gina… still a racist.
Thank you Gina
I’m 15 and I have hasimotos, everything she is saying about good food is expensive and we are more settable to depression and among other things are so true. Hasimotos is not a super common disease you hear about everyday so seeing Gina talk openly about hers and the other beautiful women is so amazing and empowering
So nice to hear people speak about my experience. I love Gina!
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s about two years ago and I can’t believe I’m barely just watching this but this is actually motivating me to continue doing what I’m doing but do it even better and be on top of myself I’m actually seeing this new doctor and he’s a holistic doctor all about the natural stuff because these other doctors out here just want money and just want to put you on medication that makes you feel sicker so I’m glad that I’m seeing this new doctor that’s going to be able to help me get to my goals hopefully I can make it there
Whoa I never knew Gina had Hashimotos! I was diagnosed when I was 13 and now I am 21 & still struggling. I havent had my tablets in almost a year now & have realised now that most of my moods are the cause of that withdrawal. Im going to do better for myself, go see a dr & start my medication again! This video was like a breath of fresh air!
Love you Gina !!!! 🥰
I have that aswell
i needed this.
