© 2024 Save My Thyroid: Healing Tips for Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's
Description
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.

Many people with hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism experience hair loss, and in some cases, this hair loss can be extreme.

After recently being diagnosed with Graves Disease, I came across Dr. Eric. It was so comforting knowing that he had been through this and was speaking through first hand knowledge and was well researched. I truly appreciate that he wanted to help others with this.
Dr. Eric has a wealth of information to help you begin to heal your thyroid and avoid RAI/ surgery. If you have Graves, Hashimotos or multinodular goiter you will want to follow this podcast.
I discovered Dr. Osansky in June when I received my Grave's Disease diagnosis. It has been unbelievably refreshing to hear a Dr. not only talk about his own healing journey but also to hear him encourage others that you don't have to feel condemned to the conventional medicine treatments for Grave's. This podcast is a go to for advice on how to heal your body in a more natural way and I look forward to hear more.
If you have been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and or Graves disease and are scared or wondering what it is, what it's all about, and what you can do, then the 'save my thyroid' podcast can help YOU.
I discovered Dr. Osansky about a year ago, and it is so refreshing and encouraging to come across a doctor who has actually been through what people with Graves disease and hyperthyroidism have been through or are going through. Conventional endocrinologists are always trying to get rid of the thyroid without looking into what the cause could be, which is one of the main questions I've always asked myself. Dr. Osansky has opened my mind to so many possible causes and solutions that I never even considered or thought about. All I can say is thank God for Dr. Osansky and thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with us through these free platforms. I cannot wait to see what else you have in store for us!
I've followed Dr. Eric for over 3 years on his various platforms. The information he provides is well researched, incredibly valuable and comes from first hand knowledge. I appreciate this added free resource!
I found Dr. Eric Osansky on Facebook after I was recently diagnosed with Graves Disease. I'm thrilled about his new podcast! I'm trying to educate myself as much as I can and his podcasts are very informative! It's hard to find information, let alone podcasts about this medical condition from someone as passionate as Dr. Eric. He has personally experienced Graves and gone through natural treatment to remission. I love how he breaks it down with each episode; I'm looking forward to more!
