*Beat Hashimoto's naturally!* Check out my 30 Day Nourished and Renewed with Hashimoto's Program bit.ly/38qXPhV

I thought I was Dying. I couldn't walk without holding on to a wall or something. I didn't have the energy to move in bed. I had had emotional turmoil. I got tested. Was told the meds would take two weeks to Work. Twenty four hours later I felt so energetic. My doctor was amazed. Now ten years later. I'm tired.y hair is shedding. I'm on the Lowest dose. I can't tolerate a bigger dose. I wish I'd been told that it could of been possibly fixed with dietary changes.

They NEVER look at the root cause. I have been battling with hashimotos for 35 years. Not one doctor mentioned gluten or dairy. I finally found a functional doctor who has done more testing through bloodwork , Dutch test, and an allergy test than any other "doctors" have. We discussed at length my diet and I have made some serious changes. I've been on all the different types of medications and I am currently working towards getting off all medications. Not sure if it's possible but I'm over medicated by these pill pushers. I've spent a lifetime trying to understand why I can't function at full capacity.

This is just criminal. Disgusting and shameful, I cannot believe they’re allowed to get away with messing with people medication. I had the worst reaction with t4 and t3 medication. This is the worst. I’m 30 years old and I feel 50

Thank you. I just started this journey. I had a thyroidectomy on the 8th of September. The surgeon put me on levothyroxzine. I got so sick with it. My BP shot up. My stomach is a mess. I went to a NP who specializes in thyroid. She switched me to armour. I just started today. I pray this works. I've been so sick with levothyroxzine and argued with the surgeon about levothyroxzine making me sick I was afraid I had no hope. I'm changing the way I eat as my stomach is a mess. I've taken glutten and dairy out. Looking forward to watching you videos and educating nyself.

i really needed to hear this! i was diagnosed with hashimotos thyroiditis when I was 13 and I am now 17. I am still on levothyroxine now but i feel like death on it. i have been to 6 doctors about this. Every single one of them called me a liar. I am still fighting with them now

Thank you for sharing this video. I just discovered your channel and it has a great deal of information I may arm myself with dealing with Hashimoto's. Back in 2020, in the mist of the pandemic I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's. And guess what?? The Dr prescribed Levothyroxine and said nothing more. New dr..... Levothyroxine adjustments 4 times in 5 months. I have absolutely no energy whatsoever and its getting worse at the age of 62. I found a few very good books on diet and Hashimoto's and have decided to see a nutritionist / dietitian to get to the bottom of this mess I'm in. And now the info you have provided in this video about the medicine I'm taking is getting me to think the Dr has me on the not so right past. I'm hoping that the nutritionist will help in many ways, including gluten and dairy free options. THANK YOU so much!

Enjoyed your video, really encouraged, just want to have more energy and feel better and not have the many side effects.

I was put on Levothyroxine as a young adult after being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism. After that I started noticing gradual negative changes. Major hair loss, heat intolerance, weight gain & lethargy. I had none of those issues before being on Levothyroxine. Looked into alternative RX. Tried Armor, a natural thyroid RX, but my co-pay went from $5 to several hundred, and simply couldn’t justify the natural version. Armor ought to be ashamed of their exorbitant prices. Last time I checked, there weren’t any competitors to lower the cost. It’s sad since Armor RX seemed to work almost instantly. Now back to watching this video.

Wow,,you said it,,,,trying to get Dr to test and diagnose why I have hypo,,,,,like pulling teeth !

I am SO glad I found you!!! I had both grave’s and Hashimotos. I also had hyperparathyroidism. They took out my thyroid and two parathyroid glands. Now my two “asleep” parathyroid glands are 5x more hyper than the ones they took out, and I cannot take the Levothyroxine makes me sick. Arm & leg pain & weakness, short of breath, EXHAUSTED. But, I sweat PROFUSELY, my face/head is HOT, RED & throbbing. My heart is racing. No caffeine at all. The Levothyroxine makes my symptoms WORSE. I am VERY HYPO with both hypo AND hyper symptoms. I’ve been passed around from different doctors for over a year. Im becoming very depressed. I’ve changed my diet, I’ve become more active, and nothing helps. This is not the life I want to live. Im starting Tirosint tomorrow. I hope it helps, because generic Armour and generic Lio both made my symptoms worse like the Levothyroxine. Im hoping it’s the additives. Im going to binge ALL your videos today. Thank you for all your wonderful information!!!

I just found your video. Did I understand that hypothyroidism is the same as Hashimotos? I jave been on levothyroxine for 20 years. But my levels keep going up and down. Owas recently changed to 100 but after testing my thyroid levels were very low. The Doc said they wanted to wait a while and recheck but I haven't been back. I have had all these issues. The mental and all the other health problems like my hair falling out, terribly dry skin,dry hair, dry eyes and I lost my teeth to dry mouth. I stay so tired all the tiy. I had no idea that it might be the Levo. Thank you so much for your video.

im on this medication for life i lost my thyroid 2017 let my Doctor talk me into getting Radiaction Iodine feel worst not being able to get my meds right im going up and down give blood work every time but still cant get my blood work right so now i have to

I think I’m over it. I’m tired. I can’t believe I’m on a scavenger hunt to live a NORMAL LIFE. Ugh. There is always something!!

I have to use the generic because the name brand causes me anxiety and depression. I'm very sensitive to it. The Mylan brand is what I have to use.

I've been on the medication for years ive had panic attacks nervousness heart racing

I was having night time panic attacks until after I got on levothyroxine. I just noticed how I wasn’t having any after I took it so I’m assuming it helped the panic attacks.

I needed to hear you today so bad!! I have felt so alone since getting my last bloodwork results. My doctor's appointment is in less than a week, but after taking name brand Synthroid 125mgs for over 4 months, my T3 is unchanged, my TSH is

Suffer so could you please give me some idea what can i do to make myself feel better i have change the way im eating and do alot of diets and still feel the same.

Thank you Sara. I have found the generic form of Synthroid does not work for me. I take Synthroid but as you say it is only part of the journey. Spiritual health , mindset, nutrition, lifestyle, exercise, sleep and so many other factors are part of the Hashimoto’s journey. 💕💕

So glad I found you. This answered my questions. I just got put on the Levothyroxine and I thought I was going to die. Got switched to Armour so we will see how this goes.

I take levothyroxine 50mcg and I notice I have a headache that is around the base of my head and ears

Was on Levothyroxine, felt like crap, switched to Armour Thyroid, felt like crap, more anxious. Now seeing a Endocrinologist that wants me on Unithroid. Here we go again...

I have thyroid cancer had have both thyroids taken out thanks for your video it pop up glad it did i need hear this im on that i have test every month it's not helping me tired all time sweating his got me on brand name it not helping im get him put me on something else or im find a different doctor my TSH level this month was 0.010 my hair coming out 😢 thanks for your video

I have been taking levothyroxine for more than 30 years. Since these past few years, my T4 has not converted my T3. I stopped taking it altogether and am now on every clean natural supplement, but I still have absolutely no energy at all . What I'd like to know is what is a clean nautural alternative. ???

Do people have the cleanest diets on earth where 100mg of starch or lactose or a bit of food die will affect them that much??? I've been trying out 300mg/day of OTC dessicated tyroid for the past 1.5 months for low T3 and T4, high TSH and haven't felt much better, aside from crap sleep, so am thinking about seeing a doc to get a script for T4 and see so many negative sides from people.

so what do you do when you have no thyroid ?

I have seen many folks online say they struggle with symptoms from levothyroxine and switch to Armor, etc. I have had Hashimoto's since 2002 to now, 2022, 20 years and it has worked fine for me. It stopped my hair loss, sleeping all the time, etc. But for some time I have had problems with weight control and blood glucose is running high despite being low carb since the '90's. I was even carnivore for 2 1/2 years. Right now the doctor has raised it, so will see what happens. I cut our gluten long ago, but now cut out dairy and that seems to really help. Thanks for your channel.

I feel really weak and never good . Stomach issues all issues

I never felt bad before this medication. Just started it this morning. My TSH went from 10 to 24 in the last six months. I’m a little worried that modern medicine doesn’t care. They just want people more medicated.

I have been taking it for 20 years have never felt good always so fatigued and foggy brained. I just want to stop taking it and doctors say you cannot.

Hi Sara , I just wanted to let you know how truly helpful your videos are.....I'm a man of 56 years of age and have been dealing with hashimoto's for about two and a half years now... Just wondering about your hashimoto's checklist...Where can I see that because I'm going to see my endocrinologist next week... Thank you so much Sara..

Yes but how much - quantitive ? Starch or what ever filler can there be in a small tablet ? I always wonder about this as yes I have huge digestive issues - I have NO thyroid and years on levothyro and feel permanently horrific

I have been on levothyroxine for years and my quality of life has gone down the pan, I have regular bad anxiety, palpitations, bad sleep, plus all the minor issues, I missed the med for 2 days and felt much better, yes it sucks, glad I found you, thank you

I was diagnosed with hashimotos 1 year ago and have been asymptomatic the whole time, do you have any insight on this? Love your videos!

I hate it but no choice.I have no thyroid.😢my legs hurt and I can’t sleep.changed from generic to the original and keeping a light headache too

Can we get armour in Uk?

I'm having sore throat and neck pain where my thyroid was anyone else have this problem

THIS IS AN UPDATE from my post below: I could barely function on Levothyroxine. I couldn’t even get out of bed on most days. I hurt from head to toe, I was depressed, I couldn’t hold a job and no one would help me. My internal medicine PA suggested TIROSINT. Within 2 weeks of starting it, my whole life changed. I felt 10-15 years younger. I had energy, I didn’t hurt, my life was back! There was a short window of adjustment because you cannot split a dose. So I take 112 mcg M-T. On Wednesday I take 137. Th-F I take 112 mcg and Sunday I take 137. Most insurances don’t cover it, but there is a manufacturer’s coupon & also GoodRx. Try it please! I’ve told others about this and they too have had the same results. It literally saved my life.

I was treated for graves 20 years ago and have been on levothyroxine since. I am tired, my skin is dry, my hair is thinning. Is there help for me?

I'm done !! I've been on a journey to feel better for 7 freaking YEARS and I just felt worse . I went to the Dr for help and just ended up on a hand full of pills!!! It's taken me a long time but I'm off all the pills except for the levothyroxine. I am weaning myself of that to and using herbal remedies instead. I am feeling better and SO DONE with pharmaceuticals. They don't care about me yhey just want my money.

Thank you for your help! I been used Armour thyroid but now I am living in different country and has been difficult because like you I don’t trust on much on that medication.

a year hahaha um I took one, I am hyper-senstive to meds I feel, haven't taken ANYTHING in my 56 yrs until recently with this stuff and stopped anything they would give me only days after cuz what? lol I'm not into it...I know some save lives, this is just for me. Diagnosed myself before this with Hashimoto's which my Doc NOW has diagnosed me with Hypothyroidism, but I seem to know more as they don't tell me much, just look at numbers - sure my TSH is 8.9 but and then I got it to 6.8 or something but my TPO in the 200s - so yeah, I feel like my Dr. "believes" in Grave's Disease but she really put up her nose to Hashimoto's weirdly. REGARDLESS of all of that, I immediately stopped gluten, refined sugar, soy, corn anything, seed oils, dairy, no grains at all...6 mos, felt a little better, definitely my mood is WAY better..numbers a bit better but still last week finally prescribed Synthroid...I took ONE. One day, within 2 hrs of taking it, sour stomach, heart palpitations, an intense sleepy feeling took me over (not just our general Hashi's fatigue) The heart thing was enough and a headache (cutting out all those foods, took away my headaches for months. One pill, back. Then I read the possible side effects? I was like nahhhh I'm out. I'm not even telling my Primary doc, she doesn't listen to me, to be very candid. I am seeing a Naturopath, functional med Doc in early Jan...very soon...I hope they will work with me on some of the ideas I have about what to do next. Sub'd cuz I like your plain way of speaking and yup. WE HAVE TO ADVOCATE for ourselves BIG TIME. I'm in Canada and yeah, treatments and brand-drugs don't cost an arm and a leg but we WAIT, AND WAIT AND WAIT for treatment AT ALL. K be well everyone! and thank you

I had gut issues and had to take supplements to absorb nutrients.. I took a lot of supplements.. plus high doses of iodine. Iodine is a detox and I’m sure it did it’s job because the faucet calmed down. But my tsh went up (was having a hard time with weight, and tired) So I started drinking apple cider vinegar.. The iodine caused high cortisol which changed my muscles to fat. Now I’m trying to change my fat to muscles. So she gave me 50 mcg of levothyroxine. I loved my hair and fingernails.. but my ankles swelled so big that they hurt. I’ve weaned myself down to 25 mcg. I take it every other day. My feet, legs, arms and hands are so cold they’re painful. I’m not going to take it anymore. I don’t care how tired I get. Well, I do but luckily I’m adhd and the aderall gives me energy. I don’t take it daily either. I’m trying to go naturally. I have iodine capsules that I only take every once in a while too. I do want to mention that I’m 67 years young and taking BHRT.. That is my lifesaver..

Also have anxiety

Good day. I believe when I take levothyroxine That it causes Headaches, Body aches, I'm Super HOT 🥵 my vision is blurry and i believe it messes with my BP!! are these possible symptoms of this medicine? What if i just stop taking this medicine how will it affect me?? Thanks

Yes! It does suck. My doctor has made me stay on this for 5 years or more after I have requested a new medication. I had RAI in 2016 and I have gain 100lbs and feel terrible!! This medicine is awful!

Heart palpitation makes me feel like I am dying.

You are so right!!

I don’t have a thyroid no more I had thyroid cancer 19 years ago and I still have problems with the thyroid medication levothyroxine and synthroid.

So basically Im doomed... Thats the jist of this. Im without insurance and cant have all these tests and then if I do manage to find out why I still feel like death.Ive been on Levothyroxine for a year and have all the symptoms and feel like DEATH. My doctor says its both my Hashimotos and Menopause and now wants me to go on HRT. THIS IS NOT LIVING. I used to be able to walk to the park and do the trail 3miles and walk home now I cant walk around the block

Hi, I’ve been taking Levo...for one year. I feel horrible. I feel down, tired, don’t sleep well, horrible bloating and fullness all the time despite eating very little and healthy. I exercise regularly, “fit”, but my energy level has been so low. I’ll make an appt with my not so helpful doctor, but can one just stop taking Levo suddenly or best to wean off it?

Ive been on levo for almost 17 years now. Started in my early 20s, Il be 40 in january. I feel worse now than I did before I was put on medicine. Normal t3 and t4 levels, very low tsh. I take levo and lio daily. I feel like I have wasted half my life trying to figure out whats wrong with me and drs arent much help.

You are right it doesn't work.

Is liothyronine good?

My thyroid went hypo after I withdrew from an antidepressant and anti anxiety medication. I always had a healthy thyroid. My hypothesis is that the medication caused an HPA axis dysfunction and gut issues which in turn messed up my adrenals, thyroid and hormones. I don’t know if I should try medication in the mean time, while I fix the dysfunction and gut, to avoid the rapid weight gain (I’m already up 30 pounds and feel miserable 😅) But I’m scared I’ll become dependent for life on it. Do you know if thyroid meds cause dependency? Or can I use it and then stop using it if I get to fix my system? Thanks a lot!

This medication ruined my life for a year and a half. I was only prescribed it for a slightly elevated TSH. I stopped taking it after I was at my wits end. Went on Whole30 diet along with exercise. Lost 19 lbs. 5 months later after diet and exercise TSH was normal on no medication. How's that work?

Hi Sara, I have hashimotos my tsh is 0.1 but I still have mexodema type non pitting odema, muscle pain and tendonitis. The problem I'm having is now broken veins around my knees due to the puffy skin and bursar's above my knees. Any ideas what could be happening? T4 is converting ok aswell so I'm a little confused .

I'm allergic to levothyroxine. I take synthroid only.

Doesnt the liver convert t4 to t3?

Exactly I feel it gives my constant anxiety in upper chest and throat feel on the verge of my heart beating fast ect, i take levothyroxine, hydrocodone come back every 3 months to the Dr. For test...I've gone to the emergency room during covid19 2 days in a row ..thought I was having a heart attack..wore a monitor for a week. It was tacacardia from meds ..said the Dr,s at the hospital. When I told my endocrinologist he hasn't done much to help. I'm left in the dark. I'm a 51 yr old male I do have leaky gut.. Heat from hot day in the sun ,showers smoke has all brought on 180 bpm heart beat shaking ,nausea and speach issues during the adrenal fatigue or whatever is happening...I take hydrocortisone for adrenal issue and levothyroxine for thyroid..I've been on the meds 2 years and still feel in the dark...quit drinking and smoking......thx for info

So I started off taking 50mcg then 75 then 100. All blood tests have shown my thyroid going the wrong way(hypo). The doc now wants 125 and to keep trying until it somehow magically reversed. Anyone have insight on this? What should I do? If I go off my thyroid levels get better lol makes no sense

Started Levothyroxine June 3,2020 for hypo. I was hyper but had my thyroid completely removed. I gained some weight which i was ok with it since I was so small. But then I started getting heart palpitations, extremely tired and light headed, sleeping so much, sensitive stomach so supposedly now I have gastritis, & my white blood count & red went down & they don’t know why say it’s not my thyroid cause the levels look good my ekgs look good so their confused. Ever since I got out of surgery everything has been horrible! I just want answers I’m only 21 and been going thru so much my life has been so hard in & out ER and appointments😭

I've been on levo for 35 years since age 12 never had issues until probably the past 8 years now I feel shitty when I take it and my levels are ok. But I don't think it's necessarily the meds I think it's because I have other autoimmune disorders now and all meds now I react poorly to

I was born with hypothyroid(22yrs with this now) my whole life the dose has been going up, now with my 2 pregnancies(last year and this year) I was bumped up to 250mg (levo) my normal dose is 200mg when I take the extra 50 being pregnant I get side effects(immediate headache, fatigue, I even got a fever before after being perfectly fine a day before) doctor says headache and fatigue may be from pregnancy. She’s tried so many ways but I just can’t take more than 200 do you suggest anything?

Tell me about it ive had it and my doc better prescribe armor. Im tired of being tired and weak

What are the alternative drugs?

I have hypo para thyroid ism. I quit taking my thyroid medicine. It is made from pig thyroid and is against my religion. Wasn't helping me much if at all.

I believe this medication has caused me ‘asthma’. I cannot sleep and cannot breathe. I’m on my 4th week and I’ve developed ‘asthma’ and I’ve never had asthma in my life. I’ve went from jogging to not going up stairs. Literally all this one 4 weeks. How do you come off this medication. Slowly I heard. I’m doing testing to solve this but right now it’s speculation this medication is the cause but I cannot find many people with my issue taking this medication. I’m taking Euthyroxin. Also, is 8.5 so high that medication is needed. Can I reduce this on my own? I’m 39 and fairly healthy. I’m 5’3 and 115 lbs. I’m up at 3am trying to desperately find answers and all the doctors do is give me inhaler and say nothing about the medication !

I'm currently trying to find something else other than levothyroxine it makes my heart race and makes me really irritable.

I do have a lot of antibodies but not yet diagnosed with hashimotos… I have hypothyroidism and levothydroxine is making me HUNGRY AS HELL … has anyone had this ?

This medication give me horrible depression and anxiety but my Docotor says there is no way it’s a side effect … it may not be a common one but it’s 100% one for me. They refuse to put me on a different med.

I give up

I started Levo March of this year and within a few days I had the worst breast pain and swelling and it started my period even though I’d just had one, after my period the pain continued for about 3 weeks, until I had a period again, and ever since then the week AFTER my period I have terrible breast pain for about a week. It feels like the pain and swelling I had during my pregnancies. I go back to endo for my 6 month check in in September

It is a horrible drug. I have been on Levothyroxine for yrs just came off it totally.feel very tired and I was losing my hair while on this drug. Also weight gain. I don’t understand why Doctors use it. Almost wrecked my health. Never felt right on it. Please let me know what someone with low thyroid problems should take in its place that is natural. I am vegan. Any help advice would be very much appreciated, Thankyou. Watching from UK. Best wishes Catherine xxxxxx

I restricted myself to iceberg lettuce

Cytomel has gluten in it. I have celiac and my endocrinologist added cytomel and I started getting nauseous every day and feeling very sick. I have celiac and I was having a reaction to cytomel. When I stopped taking cytomel my symptoms immediately improved. Drug manufacturers do not have to legally disclose whether any medications havr gluten in it or not. For this reason, many doctors and even pharmacists do not know if some medication has gluten or not. I had to do research and I found a GF alternative to cytomel. It's Liothyronine by SigmaPharm. They do disclose it is gluten free. Cytomel should not be taken by anyone who has celiac.

I'm doing this search because my doctor prescribed me and obviously I'm not taking this 💩

I have a hypothyroidism, But I feel great, no any symptoms of that problem, I haven't been talking meds at all. But my T3 and T4 was extremely high and I agreed to take the syntroid medication, after which I started having mental problems, like fatigue, no strength, etc. What is wrong with me? 😳 And what to do? 😭

Synthroid suck lol think im going to love this channel. i just quit my NP Thyroid COLD TURKEY because i cant afford it any more . so I'm not willing to take synthroids i hate big pharma any way.

Im so frustrated with levothyroxine! I am listening to you and tears are rolling down my eyes. I've been taking levothyroxine for aprox. 15 months and even though the thryroid finally leveled out, I cant tell you how awful I've been feeling. Starting with weight gaining in the last 15 months (50 pounds)! On a daily basis I experience extreme muscle aches, low energy/slugish, brain fog, swelling of my hole body, including arms, wrists, ankles, bloated belly. At the end of the day I feel like I ate 1 whole pig while I eat very little. arthritis have started to creep in on my hands and feet. I dont' know what to do.! I've asked my doctor to switch me to the brand name synthroid on a trial basis to see if the sympstoms get better, also asked her to look into perhaps switching to cytomel but still waiting for a response. Thank you for your videos.

You are or are not a Dr? Saw another video you claimed to be a Dr. If u are. What type of doc?

Feeling worse after 2 weeks on this. It so sucks! My doctor listen she claims to be holistic but clearly she isnt.

I die if I don't take it. Sooooooo

BBBE.. Dr Ken Berry.. Simple…

This medication really helps me, I lost a lot of weight and feel overall very good but it does make food pass through your small intestines faster so you may expereince more frequent bowels or diarreah, I'm ok with more frequent bowel movements because I loke getting it all pmout of my stomach! It works for me but it may not certainky work for you! Everyone is different.
