Let’s talk about the #1 best home test for hypothyroidism. It can be difficult to figure out if you have a hypothyroid problem. But, this hypothyroidism test will help make it easier to determine right at home. Hashimoto’s is behind 90% of hypothyroid cases. Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune disorder where antibodies attack your thyroid. When you have Hashimoto’s, you need selenium to help convert the thyroid hormone T4 (the inactive version) to T3 (the active version). Sea kelp is a great source of selenium, iodine, and other nutrients for the thyroid gland. Or, just one Brazil nut a day will give you the selenium you need. 80% of this conversion happens through the liver and the gallbladder. If these organs are damaged, that could be why your thyroid isn’t working. The other 20% occurs in the kidney. Diabetes can cause weakness within the kidney, leading to a thyroid problem. Gluten can mimic certain things in your thyroid gland. If you develop an allergy to gluten, you could also develop an allergy to your thyroid gland. If you have a thyroid problem, you should avoid gluten. Another condition that could lead to hypothyroidism is estrogen dominance. In this situation, instead of worrying about the thyroid, it may be better to focus on the estrogen dominance issue. Thyroid nodules are a classic sign of iodine deficiency. You may want to try my simple test for an iodine deficiency (see how this test is done at 11:45). Symptoms of hypothyroidism: • Feeling cold frequently • Fatigue • High cholesterol • Depression • Puffiness in the face • Weight gain • Constipation • Hair loss • Dry skin and dry hair • Brain fog The #1 best test for hypothyroidism: • Woltman’s sign (watch the video at 9:18 to learn how to do this test) Being proactive by doing the Healthy Keto diet and intermittent fasting is one of the best things you can do for your health. Check out my other videos to learn more about keto and fasting.

I can't be the only one that thinks (about a million times), "why can't Dr. Berg be my doc?" :) Finding healthcare professionals that look beyond the stereotypical 'response' to various issues like thyroid is a needle in a haystack. Thank you Dr. Berg. Your work is important to us all.

at 12:26, I noticed an error. If you still see a yellow iodine color after an hour, chances are you have sufficient iodine. If it is gone, chances are you are deficient.

It’s truly amazing how many videos you have on so many topics with great information. If every doctor worked like you we’d all be so much better off. Explaining the root cause and ways to know what that is rather than treating the symptoms is how all medical advice should be done. Thank you for all your amazing work.
