138: Autoimmune Thyroid Tips with Dr. Eric Osansky Your Longevity Blueprint

    • Nutrition

Most thyroid conditions are autoimmune in nature. Dr. Eric Osansky joins me today to discuss ways to optimize thyroid and immune health, overcome thyroid autoimmunity through diet and lifestyle factors, and the relationship between diet, chronic stress, environmental toxins, and thyroid health. Today, we focus more on high thyroid conditions like Grave’s Disease.
Four categories of triggers for developing autoimmune conditions:

Food

Stress

Toxins

Infection
