 This is Dr. Russo, I'm here with Zanada, who has done great with graves and twisted her arm to get her to sit down and chat today. We've been working together now a little over two years, I believe. Yes, since 2016. Yeah. So, and you first came in with graves. There's a mild case of graves, and you had responded really well to my thymosal, which is one of the frontline medications that's used. But you wanted to see what else you could do not to need the medication and to kind of manage the graves. And she had done a great job with research on her own, looking into the paleo diet, autoimmune paleo diet. So, the autoimmune paleo diet was a diet that we used. We also found some dysbiosis in the gut, namely yeast. And we also used some of the natural compounds that can help with thyroid autoimmunity, which underlies and causes the graves, hyperthyroidism, and also some natural agents that can help to calm down the high levels of thyroid hormones. And you responded beautifully. Yeah, it was a process in its own. Before I met you, I did a lot of research, obviously. And just wanting to find a more holistic, functional way to treat things, rather than the conventional side of things. True. Which I think makes sense, right? Because thymosal, I think, is a fairly good drug. But it begs the question, what else could we do besides the thymosal to mitigate the need for the thymosal? And you've been off the thymosal now for, what, about six months? Yeah, six months. Six months? Yeah. So now she's been off the thymosal for about six months, and also weaned off a good amount of the items in our natural program, and expanded her diet. And that was one of the things you talked about today, was not being afraid of food, and not getting freaked out about the stuff you've done on the internet, and finding your own tolerance to these different foods based upon your reintroduction. Gluten seems to be the one food, thankfully out of all of them. The only food that you're really reactive to is gluten, so you're avoiding that. And are there anything else there that you think is not worthy? I think the big thing is, just, with this whole process, just kind of knowing and being more attentive to your body, and just planning out the next steps on whether you're reacting to something or how you're feeling, because that's huge. Just being more mindful and knowing what is the things that we are reacting to, figuring out how to make you feel better. And that was the biggest process of this whole journey. Definitely there's some things that I'm working on, like sleep and hair, obviously. But definitely this whole journey taught me how to eat better. It's given me better habits on just living life and changing my lifestyle. And you make a lot of great points. I think it is, just like you said, important to listen to your body, because if you don't listen to your body, then you listen to everyone else. And there's all these dietary restrictions recommended. And so you can just get pulled further and further into dietary restrictions, rather than like you're doing now, which is broadening your diet and figuring out the broadest diet possible. So, yeah, I think listening to your body is really key. And then also just keeping in mind that with time, your body will heal. And you'll get a lot, you know, if things are done right, you'll improve a lot. And in your case, there's, I think, one simple thing. And we talked about adrenal testing and a lot of things that I think are putting in the car before the horse. But right now, the final tweak, at least in my mind, and we'll know this better probably in about three or four weeks, is your carbon take may be a little bit too low. And that may be what's driving your only two lingering complaints, which are getting better with time, but they're not fully kind of getting better, which are waking up early and hair thinning. And that can be caused by graves, but it can also be caused by being too low carb for too long. And so we had to get the graves right first and give your body some time. And now that we're seeing those symptoms lagging, and we discussed today, bringing her carbs up to about 175 to 200 grams a day and have a good feeling that that's going to totally sort out your sleep and your hair, and I think you're going to do really well. Yeah, it's definitely the art of fine-tuning. Yeah, fortunately. There's the fine-tuning phase, which is great. Definitely. Definitely it was this, you know, things don't happen overnight. You know, throughout this whole journey, you know, you see improvements as you go along, but you know that you're getting somewhere. Yeah. And, you know, the positive side of things is that you'll know yourself better. Just by all the things that you're observing, and you'll feel better too. Yeah. And just as one thing, this is a point in which I know the audience knows this, we did some testing, right? Yeah. But would you say we did a lot of testing? We didn't. Yeah. And we didn't need to, right? Yeah. You use testing to kind of get a lay of the land and figure out what some of the key aspects are. And that's it. I don't need to, you know, I didn't need to beat you over the head with this constant repeat testing, and a lot of this stuff is just good clinical horse sense staring the ship. And yeah, you've done great. She's got a beautiful family. They were all in here just three months ago. And I'm super happy with how you did. And a couple other things we'll tweak now, but I think in a few weeks you'll be pretty much at like 99% and I'm really happy for you. Thank you. Yeah, thank you for taking the time to share this. Definitely.
