Published by Dr. Eric Osansky DC, IFMCP
If you have hyperthyroidism (Graves' disease, toxic multinodular goiter, etc.) or Hashimoto's thyroiditis and are looking to do everything to save your thyroid gland, then the Save My Thyroid podcast is for you! Dr. Eric Osansky DC, IFMCP is the host, as he personally was diagnosed with Graves' disease in 2008 and was able to get into remission taking a natural approach. He created this podcast to help others with hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's save their thyroid and regain their health. If you have hyperthyroidism then pretty much all of the episodes will benefit you, and if you have Hashimoto's you'll benefit from most of the guest expert episodes, as well as some of the "solo" episodes. The reason there is more of a focus on hyperthyroidism is because all of the other thyroid-related podcasts focus mostly on hypothyroidism/Hashimoto's, and since Dr. Eric personally dealt with Graves' disease he wanted this podcast to focus more on hyperthyroidism, although it will still offer plenty of value to those with hypothyroidism/Hashimoto's. Dr. Eric Osansky lives in Matthews NC with his wife, 2 daughters, 3 cats, 2 dogs, and 3 guinea pigs! He has been a practitioner for 20+ years, and has focused on helping people with thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions since 2009.
Listen on Apple PodcastsIn this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky welcomes back bestselling author, nurse practitioner, and women's health expert Cynthia Thurlow to discuss her newest book, The Menopause Gut . Cynthia explains why gut health should be at the center of every conversation about perimenopause and menopause, sharing both the science behind the gut-hormone connection and her own personal journey that inspired the book. Together, they explore how declining estrogen influences immune function, gut permeability, inflammation, and the risk of autoimmune conditions during midlife. The conversation dives into the important role of the estrobolome, estrogen metabolism, food sensitivities, detoxification, genetics, and the impact of chronic stress on hormonal health. Cynthia also discusses why symptoms such as hot flashes, weight gain, digestive issues, sleep disturbances, and joint pain shouldn't simply be accepted as "normal aging." Along the way, she shares practical strategies for improving gut health, increasing fiber intake, supporting the vagus nerve, reducing inflammation, and making personalized decisions about hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The episode concludes with an empowering message that women don't have to suffer through perimenopause and menopause. By understanding the connection between hormones, the gut microbiome, metabolism, and thyroid health, it's possible to improve symptoms and support long-term wellness. If you want a clearer, more balanced understanding of the menopause-gut connection and how it influences thyroid and overall health, you'll get a lot out of this episode.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky explores the complex relationship between estrogen and thyroid health. While estrogen is often associated with reproductive health, it also plays an important role in thyroid hormone activity, immune function, metabolism, and overall hormonal balance. Dr. Eric explains how estrogen can influence thyroid hormone availability through thyroid-binding globulin (TBG), why both high and low estrogen levels can create problems, and how hormonal imbalances may contribute to thyroid symptoms in women with Graves’ disease and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Dr. Eric also discusses estrogen dominance, progesterone balance, and the connection between estrogen, thyroid autoimmunity, and life stages such as puberty, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause. He reviews the important role of gut health—particularly the estrobolome and beta-glucuronidase—in estrogen metabolism, along with the impact of chronic stress, xenoestrogens, environmental toxins, liver function, and detoxification. In addition, he explains the pros and cons of various hormone testing methods, including blood testing and the DUTCH test, while highlighting nutrients and supplements that may support healthy estrogen metabolism when appropriate. The episode concludes with practical recommendations for supporting both thyroid and estrogen balance through nutrition, stress management, gut health, and personalized testing when needed.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky welcomes Johanna Dahlmann, also known as the "Alopecia Angel," to discuss natural approaches to overcoming hair loss. Johanna shares her personal journey of reversing alopecia areata after being told there was no cure and explains how that experience led her to help thousands of people around the world with autoimmune, hormonal, and other forms of hair loss. Together, they explore why hair loss is often a symptom of deeper underlying imbalances rather than simply a cosmetic concern. Johanna discusses many of the commonly overlooked contributors to hair loss, including autoimmune disease, thyroid dysfunction, gut health, environmental toxins, breast implant illness, Botox, nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and genetics. She also explains why personalized testing and functional medicine can help identify root causes, while emphasizing that no single diet, supplement, or medication works for everyone. Throughout the conversation, she challenges common myths surrounding hair loss and explains why healing requires an individualized, whole-body approach rather than a one-size-fits-all solution. The episode concludes with a discussion about thyroid-related hair loss, realistic expectations for hair regrowth, and why consistency is essential for long-term success. Dr. Eric also shares his perspective on addressing thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions as a foundational step for many people experiencing hair loss.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky welcomes back Dr. Angela Mazza, a triple board-certified endocrinologist specializing in thyroid health, metabolic medicine, and integrative endocrine care. The discussion centers around two topics Dr. Mazza has recently published journal articles on: iodine and thyroid nodules. Together, they explore why iodine remains one of the most controversial nutrients in thyroid medicine and why individualized care is critical when determining whether supplementation is appropriate. Dr. Mazza explains the delicate balance of iodine intake, discussing why both deficiency and excess can create thyroid problems. She also shares her approach to iodine testing, addresses common misconceptions about iodine supplementation, and discusses special considerations for Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Graves’ disease, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. The conversation then shifts into thyroid nodules, where Dr. Mazza explains the most common causes of nodule formation, the role of inflammation, estrogen, insulin resistance, environmental toxins, and genetics, along with how toxic nodules differ from non-functioning nodules. The episode wraps up with an in-depth discussion on goiters, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), thyroid cancer, and modern alternatives to surgery. Dr. Mazza also explains how she evaluates thyroid nodules using ultrasound and shares her perspective on personalized treatment approaches.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky explores a common question he receives from people with hyperthyroidism: Can I incorporate intermittent fasting? While fasting has been praised for benefits such as weight loss, blood sugar regulation, reduced inflammation, and improved metabolic health, Dr. Eric explains why those with hyperthyroidism and Graves’ disease need to approach fasting differently than the general population. Dr. Eric reviews the most common fasting methods, including overnight fasting, 16:8 intermittent fasting, alternate-day fasting, water fasting, and fasting-mimicking diets. He explains how hyperthyroidism creates a catabolic state characterized by increased metabolism, muscle breakdown, and weight loss, making prolonged fasting potentially problematic for some people. He also discusses the important roles of adrenal health, cortisol balance, blood sugar regulation, insulin resistance, and stress when determining whether fasting is appropriate. Throughout the episode, Dr. Eric emphasizes the importance of individualization. While fasting may offer benefits for certain people, especially those with stable thyroid levels and insulin resistance, it may be counterproductive for others who are actively hyperthyroid, losing weight, struggling with adrenal dysfunction, or experiencing significant symptoms.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky takes a deep dive into black seed oil (Nigella sativa) and its potential role in supporting thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Graves’ disease. He explains the differences between whole black seed, powdered black seed, black seed oil, and black seed essential oil, highlighting why these distinctions matter when interpreting the research. Dr. Eric reviews the available studies, including a clinical trial involving people with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis that demonstrated improvements in thyroid markers, thyroid antibodies, and metabolic health. He also discusses the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-modulating properties of Nigella sativa, exploring how these mechanisms may support immune system balance and potentially benefit those with autoimmune conditions. Along the way, he addresses important considerations such as supplement quality, thymoquinone content, product variability, and potential contraindications. Finally, Dr. Eric offers a balanced perspective on where black seed oil fits into a comprehensive thyroid-healing strategy. While the research is promising, he explains why it isn’t a supplement he routinely recommends to every patient and discusses how it compares to other antioxidant-support supplements. If you want a clearer understanding of black seed oil, the science behind it, and whether it may have a place in your thyroid health journey, you’ll get a lot out of this episode.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky tackles a question that often surprises thyroid patients: Can Hashimoto’s thyroiditis turn into Graves’ disease, and can Graves’ disease eventually become Hashimoto’s? While these conditions are commonly viewed as opposites—one causing hypothyroidism and the other hyperthyroidism—Dr. Eric explains why the relationship between them isn’t always so straightforward. Dr. Eric breaks down the differences between the thyroid antibodies associated with each condition, explains how antibody patterns can overlap, and discusses why some people test positive for both Graves’ and Hashimoto’s antibodies at the same time. He also explores possible reasons these transitions occur, including immune dysregulation, environmental triggers, gut health issues, nutrient deficiencies, chronic stress, infections, mold exposure, and hormonal changes. Along the way, he clarifies common misconceptions about Hashitoxicosis, “thyroid burnout,” and the importance of proper antibody testing. Most importantly, Dr. Eric emphasizes that both Graves’ disease and Hashimoto’s are immune system conditions rather than simply thyroid disorders. By focusing on identifying triggers, restoring immune balance, and supporting gut health, it’s possible to improve symptoms, lower antibodies, and achieve long-term remission. If you want a clearer understanding of how autoimmune thyroid conditions can evolve over time—and what you can do about it—you’ll get a lot out of this episode.

In this episode, Dr. Eric interviews acupuncturist, author, and educator Robin Ray Green about the often-overlooked environmental stressors that can silently interfere with thyroid health, immune function, energy, and healing. Drawing from her own personal journey with mold illness, Robin explains how invisible stressors like mold, poor water quality, EMFs, and air pollution can overwhelm the body—even when someone is following a clean diet and healthy lifestyle. Robin shares how chronic mold exposure dramatically impacted her health, leading to debilitating fatigue, brain fog, and burnout despite doing everything “right.” This experience led her to explore the deeper root causes of chronic illness and uncover how environmental toxins, poor sleep environments, electronic pollution, and hidden emotional stressors can keep the body stuck in a constant state of stress and inflammation. The conversation also explores practical strategies for reducing toxic burden, improving sleep quality, choosing better water filtration systems, minimizing EMF exposure, and supporting the body’s natural healing processes.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky discusses an important reality many people with hyperthyroidism and Graves’ disease eventually face: doing everything “right” with diet and lifestyle, yet still not experiencing complete healing. Dr. Eric explains why foundational practices like following an anti-inflammatory diet, reducing stress, improving sleep, and taking nutritional supplements are essential—but often only part of the solution. He dives into the deeper root causes commonly overlooked in conventional and even natural approaches to thyroid healing. Topics include gut infections such as H. pylori, parasites, SIBO, and candida overgrowth, along with environmental toxins and toxicants like mold, microplastics, glyphosate, and heavy metals. Dr. Eric also explores the importance of vagus nerve support, nervous system regulation, oral health, and reducing toxic burden through cleaner living environments and healthier daily habits. Throughout the episode, Dr. Eric emphasizes the importance of functional medicine testing and individualized care while also discussing common mistakes people make during their healing journey—such as relying solely on diet, avoiding testing altogether, or jumping from protocol to protocol. If you feel stuck despite making major lifestyle changes, this episode will help you better understand what may be missing and what steps to consider next in your healing journey.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky welcomes back Dr. Amie Hornaman to discuss her new book, The Thyroid Fix . Together, they dive into the most common misconceptions surrounding hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s, including why so many people continue to experience symptoms despite being told their thyroid labs are “normal.” Dr. Amie shares her personal motivation for writing the book and explains how she hopes to empower people to better understand their thyroid health and advocate for themselves. Dr. Amie breaks down what a complete thyroid panel should include, why testing only TSH is often insufficient, and the important roles of free T3 and reverse T3 in thyroid hormone conversion and metabolism. The conversation also explores autoimmune triggers, hormone fluctuations during pregnancy and menopause, the connection between stress and thyroid dysfunction, and why testosterone may play a protective role against autoimmunity. They also discuss T2 supplementation, common nutrient deficiencies, iodine, ashwagandha, and the growing conversation around GLP-1 medications. The episode closes with an encouraging discussion about hope, healing, and the importance of individualized thyroid care. Dr. Amie emphasizes that taking thyroid hormone replacement is not a failure and explains when Hashimoto’s may potentially be reversed or put into remission.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky sits down with health and lifestyle coach, podcast host, and author Jenn Trepeck to discuss her new book, Uncomplicating Wellness . Jenn shares her personal journey through years of dieting, weight struggles, and frustration before discovering that lasting health comes from understanding human biology instead of following restrictive wellness rules. During the conversation, Jenn explains why so many people feel confused by today’s wellness industry and how modern health culture often skips over the foundations that truly move the needle. They discuss topics like listening to your body, misleading food marketing, protein versus fiber, BMI misconceptions, muscle and metabolism, willpower, stress, sleep, and the difference between biohacking and what Jenn calls “biostacking.” Jenn also shares practical strategies for reducing stress, rebuilding trust with your body, and simplifying wellness in a sustainable way.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky dives into the often-debated topic of gluten and grains—and their impact on thyroid health, especially in those with Graves’ disease and Hashimoto’s. While many people understand the need to avoid gluten, there’s still a lot of confusion around whether gluten-free grains are truly safe during the healing process. Dr. Eric explains why gluten is a common trigger for autoimmune conditions, touching on mechanisms like increased intestinal permeability (leaky gut), immune activation, and molecular mimicry. He also breaks down the bigger picture of grains as a whole, including how compounds like phytates, lectins, and even mold exposure can interfere with gut healing—even when gluten isn’t present. You’ll also hear his perspective on controversial topics like sourdough bread, eating gluten in other countries, and whether glyphosate is to blame. He wraps up by emphasizing a practical, balanced approach: while some people may tolerate certain grains, removing both gluten and grains—at least temporarily—can significantly improve your chances of restoring gut health and achieving remission.

In this episode, Dr. Eric chats with certified health coach and functional trainer Vilmos Bond to explore how exercise needs evolve—especially for women over 40 navigating perimenopause and menopause. Drawing from over a decade of experience, Vilmos shares how his approach to functional training goes beyond aesthetics, focusing instead on strength, mobility, and longevity. The conversation dives into common exercise mistakes, including sticking to repetitive routines, lifting too heavy too soon, and neglecting proper form. Vilmos explains how hormonal shifts impact recovery, cortisol levels, and energy, making it essential to adjust workout intensity and frequency. They also discuss the importance of resistance training for bone density, the pros and cons of high-intensity workouts, and how nutrition and meal timing play a role in overall performance and health.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky breaks down the role of functional medicine testing for those dealing with Graves’ disease, Hashimoto’s, and other thyroid conditions. While conventional lab work can help diagnose thyroid disorders, it often falls short in uncovering the root causes behind autoimmunity. Dr. Eric shares his clinical perspective on how deeper testing can help identify underlying triggers and imbalances. Throughout the episode, he walks through the most commonly recommended tests, including adrenal panels, hormone testing, gut health assessments, and environmental toxin evaluations. He explains when each test may be helpful, the limitations of certain testing methods, and why more testing isn’t always better. Dr. Eric also addresses controversial topics like leaky gut testing, food sensitivity panels, and the balance between testing and foundational lifestyle changes. If you want a clearer, more balanced understanding of functional medicine testing for thyroid conditions—and how to approach it without overwhelm—you’ll get a lot out of this episode.

In this episode, Dr. Eric sits down with gut health expert Lindsey Parsons to explore the deeper root causes behind SIBO—especially post-infectious IBS. Lindsey shares her personal journey from food poisoning to chronic gut issues and autoimmune conditions, eventually leading her to specialize in helping others heal complex digestive disorders. They dive into what really drives recurrent SIBO, explaining how an autoimmune response triggered by food poisoning can damage the migrating motor complex, leading to ongoing bacterial overgrowth. Lindsey breaks down the differences between hydrogen and methane SIBO, the role of fungal overgrowth (SIFO), and why many traditional approaches fail to provide lasting results. The conversation also covers testing options like the IBS Smart test, limitations of breath testing, and how to better assess the gut microbiome. You’ll also learn about effective treatment strategies, including when to use antibiotics versus herbal antimicrobials, the emerging use of MSM, the controversy around berberine, and the critical role of prokinetics in long-term management.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky talks with returning guest Dr. Izabella Wentz about her new book, IBS: Finding and Treating the Root Cause of Irritable Bowel Syndrome . Drawing from both personal experience and clinical insight, Dr. Wentz explains why IBS is often more than just a stress-related diagnosis and how it can serve as an early warning sign of deeper imbalances, including thyroid autoimmunity. The conversation explores the difference between IBS and inflammatory bowel disease, why some people diagnosed with IBS may actually have celiac disease or IBD, and the many possible root causes behind chronic digestive symptoms. Dr. Wentz discusses food reactions, SIBO, parasites, H. pylori, medications, nutrient deficiencies, thyroid hormone imbalances, stress, and lifestyle factors that can all play a role in gut dysfunction. She also shares why testing matters, why symptom relief is not the same as true resolution, and why approaches like the low FODMAP diet may only be a short-term tool. This episode gives listeners a broader, more practical understanding of how gut issues connect with immune dysregulation and thyroid health.

In this Q&A episode, Dr. Eric dives into the powerful connection between gut health and thyroid function. Recorded during a Substack livestream for his Healing Graves’ Naturally newsletter, he begins by explaining why the gut is such a central player in thyroid autoimmunity. With most immune system cells residing in the gut and about 20% of thyroid hormone conversion occurring in the gut microbiome, maintaining gut health is critical for those dealing with Graves’ disease, Hashimoto’s, or other thyroid conditions. Throughout the episode, Dr. Eric answers listener questions about gut testing, including when to use comprehensive stool tests, SIBO breath tests, or organic acids testing. He also discusses leaky gut testing, parasites, H. pylori treatment options, histamine intolerance, and how gut imbalances can contribute to symptoms like bloating, gas, and constipation. He explains how diet, stress management, and proper digestive support can play a role in restoring gut balance. Listeners will also learn about natural approaches to supporting stomach acid levels, the role of fiber in producing beneficial compounds like butyrate, and whether sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit affect the gut microbiome. If you want a clearer, more balanced understanding of the gut-thyroid connection and practical answers to common gut health questions, you’ll get a lot out of this episode.
