Dr. Carolyn Stone: How to Heal Hashimoto’s Disease Through Nutrition

Is it possible to get off thyroid medication through proper nutrition? In this episode of The Evolving Wellness Podcast, I chat with Dr. Carolyn Stone about thyroid disease, with an emphasis on Hashimoto’s disease. Dr. Stone discusses the different symptoms that you may have a thyroid disease, which diets are beneficial for thyroid health and the importance of healing past trauma for thyroid health. Dr. Stone also talks about whether or not it’s possible to get off thyroid medication at some point throughout your health journey and if there’s such a thing as too much medication. Dr. Stone is a licensed Naturopathic physician in the state of Arizona and the owner of Stone Naturopathic. She first started her practice in 2013. Dr. Stone has a passion for helping women with gut, hormone, adrenal, and thyroid issues. She was tired of hearing that women were not being heard by their health practitioners and instead brushed off or given an unnecessary prescription. She continues to fine-tune her practice and is always learning more about the big world of endocrinology and gastroenterology.  What we discuss: 00:20: Intro 01:01: About Dr. Stone 04:07: What are the symptoms of Hashimoto’s disease? 07:13: How can you do cold plunges when you have Hashimoto’s disease? 09:51: What should your diet look like when you have Hashimoto’s disease? 14:54: Are nuts and seeds good for people with thyroid disease? 16:30: Are long-term elimination diets ideal? 23:12: What are Dr. Stone’s thoughts on the circadian rhythm and thyroid? 25:30: How do our daily habits impact our thyroid? 27:46: How does trauma impact the thyroid? 31:35: How would Dr. Stone approach thyroid issues? 34:47: How many people don’t know they have Hashimoto’s disease? 35:47: Should you assess both TPO and TPA in tests? 36:14: Is it possible to get off thyroid medications? 37:28: What are the signs that you’re on too many medications? 42:48: What should you do if practitioners can’t help you?  49:16: Are smoothies a healthy fix? 56:30: How much is stress affecting your thyroid? 58:11: Where to learn more about Dr. Stone? 58:50: Outro To learn more about Dr. Stone : Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstoneaz/ Website: https://www.drstoneaz.com/ Book: https://drstone.mykajabi.com/hashimoto's-ygt-amazon-link Thank you to our sponsors: This episode is sponsored by Optimal Carnivore - This episode is sponsored by Optimal Carnivore - https://optimalcarnivore.com/sarah This episode is sponsored by Vivarays - Use code YOGI to save 15% https://vivarays.com/carnivoreyogi This episode is sponsored by Upgraded Formulas - Use code YOGI12 or YOGI to save on anything from Upgraded Formulas - https://www.upgradedformulas.com/?rfsn=4637317.2071db5&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=4637317.2071db5 Want more from me?
