145 - Gut Health & Thyroid Function: The Hidden Connection with Dr. Eric Osansky

I’m joined by Dr. Eric Osansky to explore the fascinating connection between gut health and thyroid function. Many people struggling with thyroid issues focus solely on the gland itself, but what if the root cause lies in the gut?  Dr. Osansky, a functional medicine practitioner specializing in thyroid health, shares how an imbalanced gut can lead to inflammation, autoimmune reactions, and hormonal disruptions that directly impact thyroid function. We discuss the key signs of gut dysfunction, how to restore balance, and practical steps you can take to improve both your digestive and thyroid health naturally.  If you or someone you know is dealing with hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s, or other thyroid-related concerns, you won’t want to miss this one. Tune in to discover why healing the gut is often the missing piece to optimizing thyroid function and overall well-being.  We discussed: 0:00 Introduction to Autoimmune Thyroid Conditions 8:10 Dr. Osansky"s Personal Journey with Graves" Disease 16:19 Understanding Graves" Disease and Hashimoto"s 26:51 The Gut-Thyroid Connection Explained 36:51 Triad of Autoimmunity and Leaky Gut 47:08 Foundation Factors for Optimal Health 57:33 Triggers That Disrupt Gut Health 1:07:27 Food Triggers and Toxin Exposures 1:17:56 Functional Approach to Healing You can find Eric @: https://savemythyroid.com/quiz https://savemythyroid.com/podcast-2/ https://savemythyroid.com/book/ https://savemythyroid.com/youtube https://www.facebook.com/groups/saveyourthyroid/  Send us a text Support the show Don"t forget to leave a Rating for the podcast!
