Did you know that the majority of hypothyroid conditions are not really a thyroid problem? 90% of all hypothyroid conditions are Hashimoto’s. This is an autoimmune condition. With this autoimmune condition, the thyroid has antibodies that attack itself. This is immune dysfunction, not necessarily a thyroid problem. But, it does affect the thyroid.

 This could be why many people with this condition never see any change—because they’re treating the wrong problem. If you look up hypothyroidism, you will see that the cause is low thyroid hormones. But what’s causing the low thyroid hormones? 

If you have hypothyroidism that’s not involved with Hashimoto’s, it could be secondary to something else. 80% of the conversion of T4 to T3 happens through the liver. So, if there’s something going on with the liver or the gallbladder, it could mean that you’re just not getting the conversion of T4 to T3.

You could also have a situation where there is too much estrogen in the body. In this case, the estrogen can block the thyroid. 

Some other data talks about consuming too many cruciferous vegetables being behind a thyroid problem. But, the studies on this are very sparse. You would also have to consume a tremendous amount of cruciferous vegetables to deplete enough iodine to cause a weakness in the thyroid. There is no data that says consuming cruciferous vegetables will kill the thyroid. 

If you’re worried about cruciferous vegetables causing a thyroid problem, you could steam them or ferment them. You could also have some sea kelp to help replace the iodine that could potentially be depleted by cruciferous vegetables. But, cruciferous vegetables can help regulate estrogen, and really, cruciferous vegetables benefit the entire body. 

To help with different thyroid problems, you may want to avoid: 
• Soy 
• Gluten

Hashimoto’s, being an autoimmune condition, usually involves some type of immune dysfunction. There are some interesting links between EBV and Hashimoto’s. There is also a connection between gut problems and Hashimoto’s.

A few things you can do:
• Restore the gut (healthy keto and intermittent fasting)
• Selenium 
• Zinc
• Garlic 
• Lower stress

0:55 Dr. Anthony Cardillo
1:33 Hydroxychloroquine and zinc
2:28 Hydroxychloroquine trials

Today we’re going to talk about something really important concerning COVID-19 and hydroxychloroquine.

Dr. Anthony Cardillo is using hydroxychloroquine with zinc and is having great success. His patients are actually becoming asymptomatic within 8-12 hours.

Hydroxychloroquine should not be taken without a prescription from your doctor, and it also shouldn’t be taken if you’re healthy.

Hydroxychloroquine allows zinc to go into the cell. If there’s more zinc in the cell, then the virus (COVID-19) can’t reproduce.

Dr. Anthony Cardillo has found that hydroxychloroquine only works with zinc. Zinc does a lot of things, including increasing resistance to infection and decreasing susceptibility to viruses.

People with viruses like COVID-19 typically have a zinc deficiency.

Zinc not only helps the immune system, but you need zinc inside the cell to help kill the virus. Hydroxychloroquine may be able to do that if there is enough zinc inside of the body.

You might want to consider taking zinc as a preventative measure right now just as an immune-supporting nutrient.

1:04 Estrogen dominance 
1:20 Fatty liver and estrogen 
1:40 The three types of estrogen 
2:15 What can you do?

Today we’re going to talk about postmenopausal estrogen. Before you go through menopause, the ovaries are working and producing estrogen. But, after menopause, when your ovaries go into retirement, you’re going to get it from other places.

You can actually get it from your fat cells. If you have a lot of body fat, you could start making excessive amounts of estrogen. You can also convert some of your adrenal hormones into estrogen as well, but it’s not as much as your fat.

There is an enzyme called aromatase that helps you convert fat into estrogen. This is one reason why some women end up with an estrogen dominance situation after menopause that can lead to other issues. 

Potential symptoms of a postmenopausal estrogen dominance situation:
• Cancer
• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Vaginal dryness
• Depression
• Irritability 

A fatty liver issue can also cause a woman not to be able to clear out estrogen properly, and it can build up even more. 

There are 3 types of estrogen:
• E1-Estrone (produced by the adrenals) 
• E2- Estradiol (made from the ovaries, fat, adrenal hormones) 
• E3-Estriol (you have pretty much only during pregnancy)

One thing you can do is take a natural aromatase inhibitor, such as: 

1. White button mushrooms 
2. Stinging nettle root
3. Grape seed extract
4. Maca
5. Quercetin
6. Licorice 
7. Genistein
8. DIM

I also think the healthy keto diet combined with intermittent fasting is a great thing to do in this situation.

2:21 Antidepressants 
2:47 Natural antidepressants 

Today we’re going to talk about fasting as a potential natural antidepressant. There are a lot of positive and amazing things that can happen in your body from doing fasting that go way beyond just losing weight and getting rid of your hunger. 

I found a fascinating study that involves fasting improving mood. Here are a few things from the study:

1. They found that orexin signaling activity increases. Orexin increases wakefulness, it increases dopamine, and it’s associated with happiness. 

2. Fasting can increase endorphin release. Endorphins increase pleasure and decrease pain. 

3. Fasting can increase CREB-TF, which signals certain genes that increase serotonin. 

4. It could increase BDNF, which can help you grow new brain cells.

Other things you could do to potentially help with depression:
• Fish/cod liver oil (DHA, EPA)
• Vitamin D
• Choline 
• Whole eggs 
• Curcumin 
• High-fat diet

1:40 The #1 reason for high estrogen in men
2:35 What to do about too much estrogen in men 

Today we’re going to talk about the consequences of high estrogen in men and what you can do if you’re a man who has have too much estrogen. 

Consequences of high estrogen in men:
1. It can increase the risk of stroke
• Excess estrogen can increase the risk of blood clots that can lead to stroke.

2. Too much estrogen can be dangerous to the cardiovascular system
• Estrogen (estradiol) is typically at higher levels when someone has a heart attack, and when men have atherosclerosis. 

3. Estrogen dominance can cause an enlarged prostate
• Estrogen is an anabolic hormone. It grows things. 

What causes high estrogen in men? It could potentially be because of:

• Soy products 
• Endocrine disrupters 
• Dairy 
• Too much aromatase (This could be the #1 reason, and it’s likely because of belly fat)

What to do:
• DIM 
• Stinging nettle root 
• Cruciferous vegetables
• Reduce insulin (do healthy keto and intermittent fasting)

Today we’re going to talk about why diabetes can make you more susceptible to getting viruses like COVID-19. Being a diabetic actually triples the mortality rate from the COVID-19 virus.

The virus enters the cell through your own body’s receptor. This type of receptor is called the ACE2 receptor. The virus enters and starts to replicate. The more ACE2 receptors you have on your cells, the more susceptible you could be to this virus. 

• Diabetics have a lot more ACE2 receptor proteins on their cells. 
• People with high blood glucose have more ACE2 receptor proteins on their cells.
• People with higher amounts of insulin have more ACE2 receptor proteins on their cells.

A few additional things to be aware of:

• Insulin resistance can impair your immune response to a virus.

• People with hyperglycemia (high sugar) have a decrease in neutrophils. Neutrophils eat viruses, they release anti-microbial chemicals that kill pathogens, and they use NETS to dissolve microbes with chemicals. If you don’t have enough neutrophils, your immune system is going to be compromised, and your body won’t have the weapons to fight off viruses. 

If you have diabetes and you’re concerned about COVID-19 (coronavirus), you may want to consider decreasing your carbs (the healthy keto diet) and intermittent fasting. This could potentially help greatly improve diabetes and help support the immune system.
