now if you have a thyroid problem this video  is going to be very very important to you  

the first thing you need to know is that most  thyroid conditions both hyper and hypo involved  

auto immune thyroid disease in other words  ninety percent of hypothyroid conditions  

are an autoimmune condition called hashimoto’s  and seventy percent of the hyperthyroid conditions  

are graves disease which is another autoimmune  disease and so now let’s talk about the  

relationship between gluten and the thyroid  because gluten creates celiac which is an  

inflammatory condition which destroys a little  villi the little roots of the intestine which  

then allow the proteins to invade the lymphatic  system and the immune system and now you have  

these antibodies that attack this protein and so  gluten is a protein it’s the protein of certain  

grains especially wheat rye barley and others  but gluten in the digestive system turns into  

gliadin and the protein gliadin looks very very  similar if not certain parts of it identical  

to something in your thyroid which is an enzyme  called transglutaminase so if you have antibodies  

that are attacking this protein in wheat anytime  you consume grains these antibodies are going to  

not just attack that protein it’s going to  attack the thyroid as well simply because of  

this molecular mimicry situation and there’s a  lot of other autoimmune conditions that have a  

similar type principle where you have this  mimicry of either a virus or a food that mimics  

a body tissue but in the case of the  thyroid whether you have a hyper or hypo  

you definitely need to remove gluten from the diet  100% because every time you consume it your body’s  

going to look at that as a foreign invader  and it’s going to actually attack that with  

its antibodies as well as certain parts of your  thyroid creating this inflammatory state all right  

there are five things that i’m going to recommend  number one you have to be completely gluten free  

number two you want to get on keto the healthy  version of keto and intermittent fasting why  

because it’s going to lower your inflammation  next thing you want to take is selenium  

selenium is essential for autoimmune conditions  especially with the thyroid whether you have a  

hyper or a hypothyroid condition the big thing you  need to be aware of with a hyper thyroid condition  

graves is that you want to avoid taking iodine  because your thyroid is already producing too  

many thyroid hormones and those thyroid hormones  are made from iodine the other thing you want  

to avoid is bile salts because bile salts will  increase the conversion from the inactive form  

t4 to the active form t3 but if you have a hypo  thyroid condition you definitely want to take  

purified bowel salts and that would be oxbile or  any of the bile supplements that are out there  

so selenium is good for hyper and hypo next thing  you want to do is take vitamin d3 minimally 10,000 

ius why because vitamin d can help you with  your inflammation it’s one of the best natural  

anti-inflammatory vitamins out there and the  last thing to take is probiotics simply because  

most autoimmune conditions start in the gut  because you want to start building up that weak  

link in your gut alright thanks for watching hey  before you go if you’re benefiting from any of my
