Symptoms & Interventions

• My daughter and I both have Sjogren’s. She wears soft contact lenses without any trouble, but I couldn’t wear them when I was younger due to dry eyes. I would deposit proteins on the lenses so fast that I couldn’t see with them. Why might this be?
• One of my oxalate markers was high. Do you have any recommendations of what to do, to help reduce my oxalate, or if it's just the one organic acid that’s high, is that not as much of a concern?
• Could TSH suppression cause weight loss resistance and hormonal imbalance? My doctor suggested pulse HCG three days a week. Do you have experience with this?
• With the scope I had done, the endocrinologist indicated that my sphincter was open, not closing. I've heard that this is because of low acid, which I have. Have you heard of this? Any recommendations?
• My thyroid antibodies were at 71, now they're 112, and my LDL jumped. Why would my triglyceride be low?
• The diet and supplements are overwhelming right now. What can I expect in the future? What does a regular day look like for you now?
• I have been having pain, on and off, for a few years behind my right eye. I’ve actually seen a neurologist and I’ve had an MRI. Is there any correlation with eye pain and Hashi’s?
• I have a lot of pain and cramping, and muscle tensing up in my legs. My new doctor told me I should take calcium. Yoga does help. Is there anything that could be causing that? Is it just that I’m 60 years old, and my muscles are tightening up?
• I have a pituitary micro-adenoma. Are there any supplements that you can recommend to get rid of or help the pituitary tumor? My endocrinologist has me taking growth hormone because my prolactin is high, but that's about it.
• What does it mean if my neutrophils are high?
• I was doing well on gluten free, dairy free, Naturethroid, and Restasis. Then, I got pregnant and everything got worse. I’m scared about the brain because my sister has MS and Hashi’s, and my father has Parkinson’s, Hashi’s and possible Celiac.
• I’m 34, Celiac, and have extremely dry eyes. Do you have any suggestions for the dry eyes?
• What should I do for pancreatic insufficiency?
• I was recently diagnosed with pituitary adenoma. The endocrinologist and neurologist said it’s non-functional for which I’m grateful for. Any suggestions?
• I'm taking anti-depressants for low energy and resulting depression. I think it’s causing weight gain and other side effects. I want to get off another med to the Synthroid, but when I do depression sets in. What do you recommend?
• What’s your opinion on a suppressed TSH when a person is taking natural desiccated thyroid, but their thyroid hormone levels are normal?
• Any tips on how to hack vitiligo?
• Would you recommend infrared saunas?
• What causes a low body temperature? Is it thyroid or adrenals or both?
• I have the MTHFR mutation and had a third blood clot at the end of 2015. I was on Warfarin for 3 months, and my hair started falling out in clumps. Are there any supplements that I can take to help my hair grow back?
• I have been taking all supplements as recommended in your book for over a year. I was feeling like superwoman last fall with a tweak to thyroid meds. But, I got very upset over Christmas and it all went away.
• I have Hashimoto's. I have extreme heat intolerance, I am always hot. 70-year-old male. Why am I hot?
• Is there anything in this journey that may be making my varicose veins flare up? They have never been this bad. I've also broken out in cold sores, which I have only had once before and that was while I was pregnant.
• I have acne around my face; T Line, inner eyebrows, nose and chin. I have been soy, dairy, grain and mostly sugar free. I do daily skin brushing, as well as liver clay applications. What else could I try?
• Have you come across anyone who has oxalate crystals lodged in their thyroid or thyroid tissues? What would be the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment for that?
• I’m starting to feel a pain in my chest and I’m worried there might be an ulcer in my esophagus. What are your suggestions?
• I started having palpitations at night when I lay down to bed. Do you think you might have a quick cause for that?
• Is low alkaline phosphatase a symptom of hypothyroidism?
• Do you have any specific recommendations for those who have had their thyroid removed. Is there anything that I should watch out for, especially as I complete the course?
• Do you have a protocol for keratosis pilaris? Is it related to low K2 and vitamin A?
