About this listen

If you have hyperthyroidism (Graves' disease, toxic multinodular goiter, etc.) or Hashimoto's thyroiditis and are looking to do everything to save your thyroid gland, then the Save My Thyroid podcast is for you! Dr. Eric Osansky DC, IFMCP is the host, as he personally was diagnosed with Graves' disease in 2008 and was able to get into remission taking a natural approach. He created this podcast to help others with hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's save their thyroid and regain their health. If you have hyperthyroidism then pretty much all of the episodes will benefit you, and if you have Hashimoto's you'll benefit from most of the guest expert episodes, as well as some of the "solo" episodes. The reason there is more of a focus on hyperthyroidism is because all of the other thyroid-related podcasts focus mostly on hypothyroidism/Hashimoto's, and since Dr. Eric personally dealt with Graves' disease he wanted this podcast to focus more on hyperthyroidism, although it will still offer plenty of value to those with hypothyroidism/Hashimoto's. Dr. Eric Osansky lives in Matthews NC with his wife, 2 daughters, 3 cats, 2 dogs, and 3 guinea pigs! He has been a practitioner for 20+ years, and has focused on helping people with thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions since 2009.

  • Is The Water You Drink Helping or Harming Your Thyroid and Gut Health?
    Jul 24 2025

    Could your water habits be affecting your thyroid and gut health?

    Most people focus on food and supplements but overlook the huge impact of daily hydration. Emerging research suggests that water intake plays a key role in shaping the gut microbiome, which is closely tied to thyroid health. The type of water you drink tap, plastic, filtered, or spring may also influence exposure to toxins that affect hormone balance. Even subtle shifts in water quality or quantity could support long-term healing in ways you haven’t considered.

    Tune in for a grounded take on hydration that might just shift your daily routine.

    Her antibodies were high, her gut was off and surgery was on the table. So she started asking what was really driving her symptoms.

But after facing the possibility of thyroid removal, she explores deeper root causes. This health audit traces the progress she’s made with dietary changes, gut support, and lifestyle shifts and the imminent questions as she prepares for a future pregnancy.
