Save My Thyroid: Healing Tips for Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's

There’s a point where labs, diet, and protocols stop explaining why symptoms linger and that’s where this episode begins.Healing doesn’t always stall because the body lacks the right nutrients or protocol. Sometimes it’s because the brain and nervous system are still holding unresolved trauma. Dr. Louise Swartswalter explains how neurobiofeedback and trauma release work can influence regulation, resilience, and the body’s ability to heal. So If you’re open to exploring how brain health and trauma resolution might fit into a root-cause thyroid healing approach, this episode will give you a thoughtful place to start.

If gut cleanses are supposed to help with different health conditions, why do so many people feel worse or unchanged?Gut cleanses, detoxes, and parasite protocols are often positioned as the missing piece for autoimmune thyroid conditions, but the results don’t always match the promise. This conversation breaks down what people really mean when they say “gut cleanse,” where these approaches can be helpful, and why focusing only on clearing things out can leave the immune system stuck in high gear. It also explores how medications, detox pathways, gut repair, and nervous system balance intersect, and why timing and sequence matter more than doing “more.”If you’ve tried cleanses hoping they’d finally calm your symptoms, this will help you understand what may be holding you back and how to approach gut health with more clarity and confidence.

If your body hasn’t been cooperating lately, you might be relieved to hear why that’s more common and more fixable than you think.Philip Pape and I dug into the deeper reasons why so many people struggle with fat loss, muscle loss, and long-term consistency, especially when thyroid health or chronic stress is part of the picture.

Philip also shares a very down-to-earth way of thinking about metabolism, recovery, and flexible nutrition that I find a lot of people benefit from hearing again in a simple, practical way.For anyone who’s been frustrated by slow progress, tuning in may help you understand what your body has been trying to tell you.Episode Timeline: 00:00 – Episode Preview01:29 – Podcast Intro03:55 – Philip Pape Background07:03 – Why Weight Loss Fails10:11 – Stress and Metabolism11:52 – Muscle and Fat Recomposition13:52 – Intermittent Fasting Explained16:09 – Training Fasted Safely18:30 – Resistance Training Frequency21:09 – How Heavy Should You Lift23:27 – Weights vs Bodyweight25:34 – Nutrition for Muscle Building26:45 – Carbs and Thyroid Health31:20 – Flexible Eating Approach32:56 – Protein Powders Pros and Cons35:45 – Creatine Monohydrate Benefits36:49 – Key Supplements Overview39:22 – Nutrient Density Focus40:51 – Food Tracking Apps43:58 – Fitness Lab App44:27 – Sustainable Fat Loss Strategy46:01 – Where to Find Philip46:31 – Podcast Outro46:52 – Post-Episode ReflectionsAbout Philip Pape:Philip Pape is a certified nutrition coach and the host of Wits & Weights, a Top 25 (Top 1%) nutrition podcast for people who want to build muscle, lose fat, and transform their health with evidence-based strategies.

Hyperthyroidism can feel chaotic until you understand the system behind your symptoms. Are you recognizing them?This episode walks through the five (5) parts of the SAVED Thyroid Method, a healing framework that I recommend to my patients. SAVED serves as an acronym for each step, detailing how every component can gently influence antibody activity in hyperthyroidism. If you’ve been trying to make sense of your hyperthyroidism and want a grounded, root-cause roadmap, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.Episode Timeline: 00:00 – Episode Overview  01:13 – Podcast Intro01:37 – Saved Method Overview02:10 – Symptom Management Approaches06:55 – L-Carnitine Research Update09:20 – Lithium and Other Options10:18 – Adrenals and Blood Sugar14:55 – Insulin Resistance Markers16:58 – Vanquish Infections & Gut Health20:10 – Five-R Gut Healing Steps22:45 – Food Reactions and Diet24:55 – Toxin Exposure Basics26:20 – Hidden Trigger Categories28:36 – Community and Training Details29:58 – Podcast Outro30:18 –  Post-Episode Chat Free resources for your thyroid healthGet your FREE Thyroid and Immune Health Restoration Action Points Checklist at SaveMyThyroidChecklist.comHigh-Quality Nutritional Supplements For Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto’ s Have you checked out my new ThyroSave supplement line?

The path to lowering antibodies isn’t always quick, but it becomes clearer once you know which five areas matter most.In this conversation, I walk through what thyroid antibodies actually mean and why they can fluctuate from one test to the next. I then break down five approaches that consistently make a difference, strengthening the foundations of health, addressing personal triggers, supporting gut health, reducing oxidative stress, and understanding when something like Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) might play a role. The goal is to help you see where your efforts matter most and why a layered approach usually works better than relying on a single strategy.If you’ve been trying to make sense of your antibodies or you’re looking for next steps, you’ll find this episode helpful to listen to.Episode Timeline: 00:00 — What Thyroid Antibodies Are01:15 — Types of Graves’ Antibodies03:45 — Why Antibodies Fluctuate05:10 — Way #1: Foundations First08:20 — Foods & Common Triggers10:45 — Stress, Toxins, Infections12:50 — Way #2: Remove Triggers14:05 — Way #3: Heal the Gut16:40 — Way #4: Reduce Oxidative Stress18:30 — Supplements for Antibody Support19:45 — Way #5: Low-Dose Naltrexone21:10 — Summary of All Five Steps22:00 — Invitation to Free Challenge Free resources for your thyroid healthGet your FREE Thyroid and Immune Health Restoration Action Points Checklist at SaveMyThyroidChecklist.comHigh-Quality Nutritional Supplements For Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto’ s Have you checked out my new ThyroSave supplement line?
