Summary

We frequently see patients who have tried multiple different treatment combinations for hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, but have not seen improvement in their symptoms. Often, this is because the underlying issue is actually not related to the thyroid, but to the gut. In today’s short video, I’m going to break down one recent example of how treating an imbalance in the gut microbiome helped one of our patients, Kathy, to finally recover from intense fatigue. You’ll see how the gut-focused herbal treatment approach used by Dr. Joe Mather not only led to reduced levels of thyroid antibodies but significantly improved Kathy’s quality of life.

0:44.9	Hi, this is Dr. Michael Rucho, and sadly, most patients who come to work with us at our clinic
0:50.0	are still not feeling well, despite working with multiple doctors.
0:54.5	But the good news here is that we are able to help the vast majority of patients by focusing
0:59.3	on proven treatments in a one-at-a-time sequence in the correct order.
1:05.0	And I'd like to share with you a short synopsis case study of a gal named Kathy, who was treated by Dr. Joe Mather at our office.
1:15.5	She had Hashimoto's thyroiditis, yet despite months of different types of thyroid hormone
1:21.1	combinations, she was still suffering from intense fatigue.
1:25.2	However, once we focused on treating dysbiosis or imbalances in her gut with
1:31.9	an herbal program, she immediately started to feel better. In her case, it appeared the problematic
1:38.4	intestinal bacteria were triggering an autoimmune attack against your thyroid gland.
1:46.0	And no amount of thyroid medication adjusting would have fixed this issue.
1:52.0	Now look at this graph of her tpia where thyroid peroxidase antibodies.
1:57.0	When this markers over 500, it indicates ongoing damage against the thyroid gland and an
2:03.9	autoimmune process that's not being controlled. Now, in Kathy's case, historically, it had fluctuated
