  Optimal health. And there is a huge place for supplements in optimizing your health.
• 0:31
  So over the past like 20 years or so that I've been a nurse and studying holistic
• 0:36
  medicine and nutrition and supplements, I've created a flow chart.
• 0:40
  So let's go over that really quick. First, welcome to the Health with Hashimoto's podcast.
• 0:45
  My name is Esther. I am a registered nurse. I spent about 17 years in Western
• 0:50
  medicine, specifically in emergency departments around the United States.
• 0:55
  And then I just got so sick and tired of putting short-term band-aids on chronic things.
• 1:01
  I went back to school for holistic health education, and now I help women and men with Hashimoto's.
• 1:07
  And I'm trying my best to simplify complicated topics so that you can take effective
• 1:14
  action in your own health.
• 1:16
  You can figure out your path to health with Hashimoto's. And I do have a specific path for you.
• 1:22
  Step one, two, and three. There's only three steps on that path.
• 1:26
  Step one is the free Hashimoto's Decoded.
• 1:29
  It is 10 questions to ask your doctor so that you can get your doctor helping
• 1:34
  you on your team, right? That's their job.
• 1:36
  And then step two is Hashimoto's Decoded, and that is root causes,
• 1:41
  helping you figure out what your own root causes of Hashimoto's are.
• 1:45
  Step three in your path to health with Hashimoto's is the Holistic Hashimoto's course.
• 1:50
  And there I'm going to take you by the hand and help guide you for four weeks
• 1:56
  as you figure out exactly how to implement the things so that you can address
• 2:00
  each of your root causes.
• 2:02
  That is it in a nutshell. Steps one, two, and three.
• 2:05
  Easy peasy. You can download them by clicking the link in the show notes,
• 2:11
  or you can head over to the Health with Hashimoto's app.
• 2:13
  There's a link to that in the show notes. And I would be delighted to help you
• 2:18
  shortcut your time to getting better health.
• 2:21
  So let's talk about supplements and activators. I mentioned it in the last episode
• 2:26
  when I was talking about activating your mitochondria and telling your body
• 2:31
  to make more, as it is supposed to do.
• 2:34
  Our body slows down with age, but now our, you know, age of slowing down starts
• 2:41
  after about 20, which is crazy.
• 2:44
  People used to slow down a lot later, and now we slow down so early.
• 2:48
  So I hope you listened to the last episode, which was all about energy.
• 2:53
  And then the long episode I referenced was episode 37, which is I Need More energy.
• 2:59
  And that's all about something called the dual synergizer.
• 3:02
  It is activating your body to create more antioxidants, fighting the bad things in your body.
• 3:09
  The ones that your body produces are a million times more powerful than what
• 3:14
  you eat. I mean, seriously, like one of the.
• 3:17
  Superoxide dismutase is one that you make. And one of those fights about a million
• 3:23
  more than one blueberry, which is just mind blowing, right?
• 3:27
  So you want to activate your own body. Let me tell you where I'm getting this.
• 3:30
  This is from my flow chart.
• 3:32
  And I have all of this in episode 83. I walk you through the entire flow chart that I made.
• 3:39
  It's also downloadable on the blog post for episode 83.
• 3:43
  But the flow chart starts out, this is applicable for everybody,
• 3:46
  buddy, it starts out with activating your own body to do what you are designed to do.
• 3:52
  And that is specifically that dual synergizer, activating those two different
• 3:57
  things, your NRF1 pathway to make more mitochondria, that's the energy of your cell, right?
• 4:03
  We want your cells to have enough energy because you are made of cells.
• 4:07
  And if you have trillions and trillions of cells that are tired,
• 4:11
  well, you're going to be tired.
• 4:12
  We want your trillions of cells to have enough energy so that you have enough
• 4:17
  energy, right? Of course.
• 4:18
  But then as your cells are working, they are putting off, you know, pollution or exhaust.
• 4:23
  Everything that works puts off some exhaust. That exhaust is in the form of
• 4:28
  free radicals, which cause oxidative stress.
• 4:32
  So you want antioxidants to fight that oxidative stress.
• 4:35
  You want to activate both of those pathways to create more antioxidants and your mitochondria.
• 4:41
  Put those two together and you get the dual synergizer. Now I am going to say
• 4:44
  quick, don't start this dual synergizer if you're not going to commit to it
• 4:48
  for 90 days, because you're not going to notice a difference usually within the first 30 days.
• 4:54
  And I don't want you to say, oh, I tried that and it didn't work.
• 4:57
  If you haven't tried it for a full 90 days, you haven't really tried it.
• 5:01
  It took you years and years and years to get to this point.
• 5:04
  And so it's going to take a couple months to get to a feeling different.
• 5:08
  So that is step one, activating your own pathways.
• 5:12
  Step two is making sure that you're getting the micronutrients that you need
• 5:17
  for a well-functioning thyroid.
• 5:19
  And there's a lot of micronutrients that you need. Your thyroid specifically
• 5:23
  needs a few zinc, selenium, magnesium, iron, iodine, and glutathione.
• 5:30
  Now, everything that your body needs, it needs it in Goldilocks ranges.
• 5:35
  Is. Too much is too bad, and too little is too bad.
• 5:38
  You need Goldilocks amounts, and especially that is true for iodine.
• 5:43
  Too much iodine can cause a lot of problems, including flare-ups with people with Hashimoto's.
• 5:50
  So make sure that you're getting the Goldilocks range, and I talk about...
• 5:55
  The specific ranges and guide you to know what you need in episode 83 and on that flow chart.
• 6:02
  So all of those things your body needs in order to have a well-functioning thyroid.
• 6:08
  And you know, the iron isn't necessarily needed for your thyroid,
• 6:11
  but you need enough iron to transport the thyroid hormone to everywhere in your body.
• 6:17
  So again, those were zinc, selenium, magnesium, iron, iodine, and glutathione.
• 6:21
  Now you are not going to go out and get a supplement for each one of those,
• 6:24
  you want to get a good quality multi-nutrient. And this would come from a company
• 6:30
  who has studied how everything goes together, and they're going to help you
• 6:33
  get the Goldilocks ranges.
• 6:35
  Now, I already told you, I swear by that dual synergizer, the NRF1 and NRF2
• 6:41
  pathways activating those.
• 6:43
  Well, the company that makes them is called LifeVantage, and they have worked
• 6:47
  with the Linus Pauling Institute, which Linus Pauling is the guy who discovered
• 6:51
  vitamin C in your body and helped figure out nutrients, micronutrients.
• 6:57
  So Life Vantage worked with Linus Pauling Institute, whose job it is to study
• 7:02
  micronutrients, and they figured out the ideal ratios and amounts and times
• 7:07
  for your micronutrients.
• 7:09
  So they have what's called a time-wise multi-nutrient. And the morning one,
• 7:15
  you take it so that you have more energy.
• 7:17
  And And then they put the evening one full of things that help you relax and
• 7:22
  help your body renew while you're sleeping.
• 7:24
  So every single day I take that dual synergizer and that rise and reset system,
• 7:30
  which is the multi-nutrient system, because I want to make sure that my body
• 7:34
  has the ingredients that it needs for a well-functioning thyroid.
• 7:38
  Also, every single day, again, this is following the flow chart that I created
• 7:43
  that you can see in episode 83, I activate and then I supplement with the things that I need.
• 7:49
  The omega-3s, I do not get enough in my diet, so I take an omega-3 every single day.
• 7:55
  During the winter and sometimes in the summer, I also take a vitamin D3 with K2,
• 8:00
  and then I take magnesium, sometimes calcium at night for increased relaxation,
• 8:06
  especially if I'm having like restless legs or something like that that's telling
• 8:10
  me that my minerals are off.
• 8:12
  And then I take a probiotic when I wake up in the morning.
• 8:15
  Now I get, like I said, that dual synergizer with the Rise and Reset.
• 8:19
  I get that from LifeVantage.
• 8:21
  I get all my other things from Fullscript and you can get a Fullscript account
• 8:26
  down below in the show notes.
• 8:28
  It's like the Amazon of good quality nutrients.
• 8:32
  They have them from so many different companies. And if you log in using the
• 8:36
  link down below in the show notes, you will see an esters favorite section at the top.
• 8:41
  And those are things that I personally use the different brands.
• 8:44
  I love seed probiotic or symbiotic. It tells you which magnesium I use which
• 8:50
  vitamin D three with K two, obviously, you can go shopping on your own.
• 8:54
  Those are the ones that I have looked at. And I like the quality and the amounts
• 8:57
  are good. And that's what I'm going to trust.
• 9:00
  So every single day, I take that dual synergizer with the rise and the reset.
• 9:04
  And then I take the omega-3, vitamin D3 with K2, magnesium, sometimes at night,
• 9:11
  and a probiotic every single day. I hope that is helpful.
• 9:14
  Go check out episode 83 if you want more information on supplements and if you
• 9:19
  want to see the flow chart to help you figure out exactly what.
