Episode #81 The Thyroid Connection: Understanding Graves’, Hashimoto’s, and Beyond

In this episode of #TheIntegrativeHealthPodcast, I sit down with Dr. Eric Osansky to discuss his personal experience with thyroid disease. Diagnosed in 2008, he explored conventional treatments but opted for an alternative approach, using botanicals like bugleweed and motherwort to manage symptoms and balance thyroid function. This experience inspired him to assist others dealing with autoimmune thyroid conditions.We delve into the triggers of thyroid autoimmunity, emphasizing the role of diet, gut health, and stress management. Dr. Osansky explains the importance of comprehensive thyroid panels and how functional medicine uncovers root causes that conventional approaches might miss. Our discussion also includes practical dietary recommendations, the controversy surrounding iodine, and how natural solutions can complement or replace conventional medications in certain cases.Dr. Eric Osansky is a chiropractic physician, nutritionist, and certified functional medicine practitioner. He focused on typical chiropractic conditions in his practice for over seven years but gained a greater appreciation for other health conditions when he was personally diagnosed with an autoimmune thyroid condition in 2008. After seeing how well a functional medicine approach helped with his condition, he began helping others with different types of thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions.
