There is a valuable summit airing this week: September 15 – September 22, and the topic is all about Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis.
The Hashimoto’s Institute (and summit) was created by my colleagues Dr. Izabella Wentz (the pharmacist), Dr. Alan Christianson (the doctor) and Andrea Nakayama (the nutritionist).
You may recall Dr. Izabella Wentz, PharmD, “The Thyroid Pharmacist”, from The Anxiety Summit in June. Her very popular interview was Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and Anxiety. She shared how she would co-host a summit purely on the topic of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and here it is.
Here are some facts on Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis:
- Autoimmune thyroid dysfunction is the leading cause of hypothyroidism in the developed world
- It can lead to weight gain, poor energy, hair loss, constipation, and even anxiety and depression.
- It’s something I see with so many of my clients (and so many don’t even know they have it)
- Statistics estimate that as many as 20% of people have circulating antibodies, which is indicative of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
- The conventional medical model does not offer much besides using medications.
Here is the break down for the week:
Day 1: Diagnosis – test don’t guess, learn what you need to know to plan your recovery
Day 2: Dosage – medication options and strategies
Day 3: Diet/Digestion – healing from within
Day 4: Daily rhythms – balance your adrenals and other hormones
Day 5: Detox – remove the triggers
Day 6: Defense – immune repair
Day 7: Design your recovery – creating your personal recovery plan
By the end of next week, you’ll have a detailed plan of action to find and fix the cause of your thyroid problems.

Enjoy!
Due to work conflicts, I was only able to listen to a few of the talks from the summit. Some of the speakers I recognize from last year’s gluten summit and they had some great talks. What I’m interested in something more specific to me.
I’ve been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s about 2 1/2 years ago and since then have researched everything in print about it, gotten through the conflicting points and have changed my diet and supplements to try to cure myself. I brought my thyroglobulin down from 10,000+ to 935; got my TSH from 14.62 down to 9.3, and my T4 up to 0.93 all with diet. I am looking for the next step but I don’t see it. I have a blood test about every 2 months to check progress and I’m pretty much stalled. I’ve gone to a doctor and am now on a levoxyl cytomel therapy but that isn’t the answer either…in fact, my numbers got worse. I’ve done a heavy metal cleanse but that hasn’t done anything noticable. Is there a next step? Perhaps we could do some remote treatments? I would just like to solve this…
Look forward to your answer,
Richard Sumner
Hi Richard
Well done – all those improvements with diet and supplements! You don’t give specifics on diet and supplements so it’s hard to say what else could be factors. These factors come to mind for someone with Hashimoto’s: other foods that may not have been eliminated; selenium and zinc if they are not already part of the protocol; dysbiosis and other gut issues/infections; adrenals.
I’d be happy to talk to you about doing a consult https://www.everywomanover29.com/services.html or find someone to refer you to
