McCall McPherson recommends three immediate steps after a Hashimoto's diagnosis: measure anti-TPO and anti-thyroglobulin antibodies, consider low-dose naltrexone if antibodies are high, and trial gluten- or dairy-free diets while retesting antibodies around 90 days later. Use data to see what actually works for you.

Tell me the top five things you would do first when you're diagnosed with Hashimoto's. Number one, I would take ldn, especially if my antibodies were significant. Number two, I would measure antibodies, both TPO and thyroglobulin before I start any intervention, whether that's LDN or something else. But for example, diet. I would go either gluten or dairy free, measure antibodies before I go gluten or dairy free, measure them 90 days later and see how they respond if they don't reduce. And I went dairy free, I would go gluten free at that point and measure antibodies 90 days later. If they did improve, I would continue being gluten free and then maybe continue that for another three months and then potentially try to be dairy free.

Again measuring antibodies at Day 0 and Day 90. Part of the thing with Hashimoto's is, y', all, you have to find what works for you and it's not the same for everyone. And the only way that you can know what tools work in your toolbox is with data and.
