Dr Rebecca Warren | How to Support Your Thyroid, Understanding Thyroid Labs, Autoimmune Thyroid Disease & More KKP: 445
Aug 08, 2022•1 hr 3 min•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Rebecca Warren. She is a Functional Wellness Practitioner and Doctor of Chiropractic who specializes in women’s sex hormones, thyroid hormones, and healing after thyroidectomy.
At 19, Dr. Rebecca was diagnosed with Follicular Variant Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma and had a complete thyroidectomy with high dose radiation- all of which was completely unnecessary. But she didn’t know what else to do. After having her thyroid removed, she suffered from hormone issues that Doctors would write off because all her labs looked “normal.” She suffered from depression, anxiety, weight loss resistance, and period issues with no help on how to get better. It wasn’t until she decided to draw a line in the sand that no doctor would know more about her body than she did; her health transformed. She has spent the past decade and a half studying the literature, implementing protocols, using the most up-to-date functional labs and testing, and ancestral tools (like fasting and diet variation) to not only take back her health but to help thousands of men and women to do the same.
Her goal is to help people avoid her unnecessary suffering and help those that may be on a hopeless path right now.
Dr. Rebecca practices with her husband in Chattanooga, TN, and does virtual coaching worldwide. Their approach is simple but powerful: get to the cause, support the body, and trust and know that the body was created to heal itself.
In this episode, Dr. Rebecca opens the show by discussing the inspiration behind her podcast, The Thyroidless Life. Then, Dr. Rebecca dives deep into everything you need to know about thyroid health. Dr. Rebecca explains why one autoimmune disease will most likely lead to another one down the road. Plus, Dr. Rebecca speculates why COVID and the COVID vaccinations could worsen your thyroid problems. Tune in as we chat about liver health, repairing your thyroid problems, and getting your Hashimoto's under control.

[01:10] Why Dr. Rebecca Started the Thyroidless Life Podcast
Rebecca wanted to make a podcast because she lived without a thyroid for 17 years.
Whether you have a thyroid or not, thyroid healing and hormone balancing is a lifetime practice.
The Thyroidless Life Podcast is a podcast about detoxing and fasting for hormone health.
Rebecca wishes she had this information 17 years ago.

[03:10] Why One Autoimmune Disease Will Lead to Another
An autoimmune issue is systemic, and it comes from an immune imbalance.
Rebecca specializes in the thyroid; over 90% of thyroid disorders, whether you're hyper or hypo is an autoimmune disorders.
When you have an autoimmune disorder, you get a name for it, like Hashimotos.
You don’t just have a thyroid issue; you have a whole body issue.
When you have one autoimmune disorder in your body, you're three times as likely to develop another.
[06:50] Are the COVID Vaccines Leading To Thyroid Issues?
You must ensure you've got the nutrition down; that's foundational.
When your adrenals are good, then you have to start detoxing.
Rebecca implores everyone to look at what's happened with their health in the last two and a half years.
Having the COVID virus can create a thyroid storm and a thyroid issue.
Two or three COVID vaccinations are also leading to thyroid issues.
[16:00] The Thyroid Tests to Ask Your Doctor For As Soon As Possible
You need a full wellness panel.
First, look at your C-reactive protein.
Also, make sure you know your fasting insulin and homocysteine. Homocysteine levels that are trending high mean there will be a methylation issue.
When looking at thyroid, you need to do the full panel.
Above all, make sure you know your Reverse T3.
TSI, TPO, and thyroid globulin antibodies are also essential. Get these numbers done every single year; if they start to rise, you need to do something about it.
[20:40] T4 & T3 Replacement Hormones to Repair Your Thyroid Problems
If your doctor doesn’t want to order panels, then find someone who will.
When your panels come back and things don’t look right, you may need to use grass-fed glandular.
Grass-fed glandulars can help strengthen your thyroid and give you the needed hormones.
Utilizing clean meds can help you get your head above water.

[27:30] Symptom Relief: Ketosis Will Give Your Thyroid a Break!
One of the great ways that ketosis can help is by creating ketone bodies for energy.
Fatigue, brain fog, memory loss, and weight loss resistance are related to your thyroid hormones.
When you get into ketosis, many of these symptoms will go away.
Ketosis will give your thyroid a break!
[36:40] Hashimotos Can Cause Thyroid Tissue Destruction, but You Can Get It Under Control
You can have thyroid antibodies, but it doesn't necessarily mean you have thyroid tissue destruction.
You want to decrease your markers as much as you can.
The problem that happens with Hashimotos is thyroid tissue destruction.
When there is an attack, you’re going to have more symptoms.
You need to get the trigger under control. Then, do things that increase healthy cell growth.
[46:20] What's the Relationship Between Liver and Thyroid Health?
What's happening in the liver? Not only will it affect how many active hormones are available, but it will also determine how much Reverse T3 you're making.
A healthy liver that's clearing out that's able to convert will be vitally important.
The liver is going to help you detox.
Your body knows what to do; however, we can’t ignore how toxic our world is these days.
AND MUCH MORE!
