My thyroid antibodies dropped almost 400 points

These are the two main things I’ve been consistent with: I started taking a shot of aloe vera first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Not going to lie, it’s not amazing tasting, but I genuinely feel better. There’s some interesting new research that has come out around aloe and thyroid/autoimmune support, which is what made me try it in the first place. You need the inner leaf fillet.

I also take myo-inositol + selenium everyday. From my research, selenium helps reduce oxidative stress in the thyroid (which is a big deal with hashimoto’s), and myo-inositol helps improve how the thyroid responds to signals (like TSH). This combo can help support TSH too. As your thyroid becomes more responsive, TSH can start to normalize instead of constantly being pushed higher.

And before anyone asks yes, I take this alongside my thyroid meds. It’s not a replacement thing at all. It’s like nutrients for your thyroid. I definitely recommend looking into it.

These are really easy for me to be consistent with. I try to do red light a few times a week as well, but I do these almost everyday, and limit gluten where I can.

Obviously everyone’s different, but this was one of the few things where I actually saw a measurable difference, not just “I think I feel better.” My goal isn’t to get off medication, but I really don’t want my autoimmune condition to progress. When you have one autoimmune issue, your chances of developing another go up, so I’m just trying to be proactive and support my body as much as I can. Hope this helps!
