When it comes to your thyroid, few substances are more important than glutathione. You can make the argument that nutrients like iodine, tyrosine, and iron are important for the thyroid gland, but they do something completely different from glutathione. Glutathione is the master antioxidant that your thyroid gland uses to protect itself from free radical …
As a thyroid patient, you should probably know a little bit about the protein known as thyroid peroxidase. For starters, it’s one of, if not, the most important enzymes in your thyroid. It is responsible for ensuring that your body can actually produce thyroid hormone. If there is ANYTHING wrong with this enzyme then there …
This is a video/podcast of my interview with Paul Robinson. Paul is the author of 3 thyroid related books and is a thyroid patient advocate. He personally has suffered from Hashimoto’s thyroiditis but through the use of T3 thyroid medication has been able to completely recover his health. In this interview we discuss more about …
There are too many benefits of using protein powder to ignore and it’s something that pretty much every patient with Hashimoto’s (or thyroid disease of any type) should consider. With that in mind, it makes sense that if you are going to use it, you want to use the right type to get all of …

While you can certainly have Hashimoto’s even without having thyroid antibodies, most people still associate Hashimoto’s with thyroid antibodies. What antibodies am I talking about? I’m talking about thyroglobulin antibodies and thyroid peroxidase antibodies. If you are reading …
For some reason, few topics are more controversial than iodine when it comes to thyroid management. Today, we are wading into the waters of controversy by talking about iodine testing. And it makes sense why testing for iodine is something on a lot of people’s minds. Iodine is one of the most important nutrients as …
Let’s talk about how thyroid disease can impact your life. Did you know that being diagnosed with a thyroid problem means that you will experience life-changing symptoms? Did you know that these symptoms may persist for the rest of your life? Having a thyroid problem is no joke because it’s what I refer to as …
Whether you realize it or not, your thyroid is under attack on a daily basis. And I’m not talking about your own immune system which does happen a lot as well!
