Love this! Thanks for the share. Question: in addition to seafood, seaweed, sunshine and sleep, what other supports can/do you recommend for peri and postmenopausal women already on synthetic TH for hypothyroidism and who would like to get off this med?
It gets much more complicated with an official diagnosis and the acceptance of medication. Statistically, few fully wean from it—but that’s not to say it is impossible. One challenge is the medication can change sensitivity to light/heat. There’s some good research around melatonin, photobiomodulation and specific nutritional interventions (more granular than what I’ve shared, though if you go into the Folate series I mentioned I do go into a bit more detail about the nutritional factors needed to support the methylation cycles and one carbon metabolism). Anyways, when faced with this, I usually refer to Dr. Stillman’s thyroid program because he’s familiar with the medical paradigm as well as the quantum one: https://stillmanmd.substack.com/p/the-5-most-common-thyroid-myths-that

This is awesome Nikko! I’m looking into all that you’ve shared here and also what a great workshop on how to get more form your research 🙏🏼
