Save My Thyroid Dr. Eric Osansky DC, IFMCP

Often, we’ll see an increase in thyroid hormones in those with Graves’ disease. This is due to thyroid stimulating immunoglobulins (TSI), a type of TSH receptor antibody that binds to the TSH receptors and causes the thyroid gland to release an excessive amount of thyroid hormone.For some people on the healing journey, TSI and thyroid hormone levels decrease simultaneously. However, this isn’t always the case. Today, I’m sharing why you might find thyroid hormone levels increasing despite dec...

“Lifestyle should be the first line before you consider anything else.” - Dr. Sandra ScheinbaumWith less than 7% of adult Americans considered to be metabolically healthy, people are suffering like never before. Chronic diseases and neurodegenerative conditions are on the rise, and mental health is on the decline. At the same time, there’s a significant shortage of providers equipped to help with these conditions.The good news is that this is where health coaches can step in and make a massiv...

When hormones are not in their free form, they travel through the bloodstream while bound to a protein.Thyroid binding globulin (TBG) is one such protein. It binds to the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Essentially, TBG ensures that these hormones reach their intended destination.Today, I’m sharing the role of TBG, the various factors that can influence its levels, methods for measuring these binding proteins, and strategies to help you bring your TBG levels back to...

“Peptides have helped a lot of patients who were feeling stuck to get to that extra 10% of wellness.” - Dr. Jen PfleghaarPeptides are chains of around four to fifty amino acids that work with your body, turning on and off genes. Our bodies naturally produce several peptides, like insulin and oxytocin, and because of how they work, they are mostly considered to be quite safe. Lately, peptides have become popular within the biohacking community because of their wide range of applications and re...

With the widespread use of mercury amalgam fillings in the past and conventional dentists' use of root canals, it doesn’t come as a surprise that many people have silver fillings, root canals, or both.Our oral health is closely tied to our overall health and mercury fillings and root canals can be potential sources of stress for the immune system. While some patients have improved their health without removing these, I believe we should remove them or avoid them if possible.Today, I’m sharing...

“Most metabolic conditions are centered on hypothalamic dysfunction.” - Deborah MaragopoulosThe hypothalamus is an important organ, but it’s difficult to understand. It acts as the central controller that’s often at the root of hormone, neurological, or immune issues, but practitioners often pay little attention to it since there’s no way to measure the hormones it produces. Fortunately, in recent years, research into the hypothalamus has increased and uncovered insights into the deep relatio...
