Three things you can do right now to improve your Hashimoto’s.

Three things you can do right now to improve your Hashimoto's from a thyroid expert. I'm McCall McPherson, physician assistant and founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic. Let's dig in. Number one, diet changes. So Hashimoto's is influenced by inflammation. An easy way to influence your inflammation is through diet. So my advice and what I've seen over the last 10 to 12 years in Hashi patients is the common theme of diet inflammatory products that can change and decrease antibodies is the reduction of gluten and dairy. If you did nothing but this for the next three months, I would bet that your antibodies would reduce. I encourage you to do a pre and post reduction test so you can see exactly what's happening. Second thing you can do, get on a glutathione supplement. So glutathione is our body's most potent antioxidant and anti inflammatory agent that we actually make ourselves and produce. It often is low when people have active autoimmune diseases. So if you can supplement with that, what it does is create a buffer to reduce your inflammatory response, thereby reducing your antibodies. You can get an oral glutathione. S acetylglutathione is great. Of course you can get it on our store@modernthyroidclinic.com you can also order them on Amazon. I also like a cream version that you can put on your thyroid gland right here. So that's another option. I say twice a day. If you do oral glutathione, I just have my patients take it once in the evening. And lastly, one other thing you can do to influence your hashi right now is to work on your gut. So tune in. Are you having sugar cravings? Are you eating a lot of processed food? Taking a probiotic is a great, very easy way to work on your gut health. My personal favorite is called Megaspore or Mega Spore Biotic. I have my patients take one to three before bed. Also cutting out as much sugar and processed food as you can to starve off some of that bad bacteria while allowing, you know, feeding your good bacteria. Lots of cruciferous veggies, green leafy veggies, low carb veggies. All of that stuff feeds your good bacteria. So hope all of this helps. Of course none of this is medical advice. Talk with your own doctor. But this is what I do with my own patients at Monterey Thyroid Clinic, so hope that helps.
