Hey guys, in this video, we're going to talk about Hashimoto's in Quito. Okay, Hashimoto's is an autoimmune disease of the thyroid. It creates a high bow state. Okay.
Now, the biggest mistake that people make is thinking that Hashimoto's is only a thyroid problem. No, it's an immune problem. You have to look at the whole body because the immune system is dysfunctional.
Now, this condition usually starts after some stress event. So, in the last 30 years, working with tens of thousands of people, I had a lot of people come in with all sorts of autoimmune disorders, and I would always ask them, "When did it start and what happened just before you developed this?" And nearly a hundred percent of the time, actually, I think it was a hundred percent of the time, it always occurred after some stress event, whether it was a loss of a loved one, a divorce, a pregnancy, which is a stress physically, probably emotionally. So, it's important to identify when it started, what happened just before, and address that thing because that is the big clue.
If it was a stress event, and years later you're still in that stressful state, unless you handle that stress, it's probably not going to get better because the endocrine system as a whole is very, very sensitive to stress. So, my theory is that the autoimmune disorders affect the weaker links of the body. And we do know that several things that affect the thyroid gland. Number one, high levels of estrogen can weaken the thyroid. High levels of cortisol and stress can weaken the thyroid. Nutritional deficiencies can weaken thyroid. Consuming junk food can definitely weaken the thyroid. Radiation can weaken the thyroid. So, let's say you're getting some dental x-rays, but you're not shielding your thyroid, that's one possibility. Gluten can affect the thyroid. GMO foods can affect the thyroid, like soybean oil or corn oil.
So, without getting too technical with the biochemistry, let's get right into what you can do if you have a Hashimoto's problem. Number one, you need to fix the immune system. Selenium is a really important trace mineral to prove immune function. Cruciferous vegetables are very important in Hashimoto's for two reasons. One, that it slowly helps detoxify certain chemicals that could be affecting the immune system and the thyroid. But also, it contains glutathione, which is a very potent, powerful compound that helps rebuild your immune system. So, of course, people are going to say, "Wait a second, I thought that the cruciferous vegetables are going to make my thyroid worse because it's going to deplete me of iodine." Well, realize we're dealing with an immune problem, okay, not just a thyroid issue. So, we're simply going to add more sea kelp to counter any potential depletion of iodine. But the benefits of cruciferous are huge. And out of all the cruciferous vegetables, Brussels sprouts have the highest glutathione.
Now, in addition to that, of course, you're going to do healthy ketosis within a minute fasting. But the frequency of eating is going to probably have to be once a day because the metabolism is going to be severely affected. So, you're going to have to work slowly to the point where you're just eating once a day to see results. And in that healthy keto plan, we want to make sure we have enough vitamin A from, you know, the cod liver oil or certain fish, in certain healthy fats, and egg yolks. Vitamin D is very vital for the immune system too. You can get that from the sun or take it as a supplement. And lastly, bile salts. Bile salts, purify bile salts. There's a product that I use called gallbladder formula. It will help speed up the thyroid because it helps convert T4 to T3.
