Save My Thyroid: Healing Tips for Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's

In this episode, Dr. Eric chats with certified health coach and functional trainer Vilmos Bond to explore how exercise needs evolve—especially for women over 40 navigating perimenopause and menopause. Drawing from over a decade of experience, Vilmos shares how his approach to functional training goes beyond aesthetics, focusing instead on strength, mobility, and longevity.
The conversation dives into common exercise mistakes, including sticking to repetitive routines, lifting too heavy too soon, and neglecting proper form. Vilmos explains how hormonal shifts impact recovery, cortisol levels, and energy, making it essential to adjust workout intensity and frequency. They also discuss the importance of resistance training for bone density, the pros and cons of high-intensity workouts, and how nutrition and meal timing play a role in overall performance and health.
If you want a clearer, more balanced understanding of how to exercise smarter—not harder—during midlife, you’ll get a lot out of this episode.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky breaks down the role of functional medicine testing for those dealing with Graves’ disease, Hashimoto’s, and other thyroid conditions. While conventional lab work can help diagnose thyroid disorders, it often falls short in uncovering the root causes behind autoimmunity. Dr. Eric shares his clinical perspective on how deeper testing can help identify underlying triggers and imbalances.
Throughout the episode, he walks through the most commonly recommended tests, including adrenal panels, hormone testing, gut health assessments, and environmental toxin evaluations. He explains when each test may be helpful, the limitations of certain testing methods, and why more testing isn’t always better. Dr. Eric also addresses controversial topics like leaky gut testing, food sensitivity panels, and the balance between testing and foundational lifestyle changes.
If you want a clearer, more balanced understanding of functional medicine testing for thyroid conditions—and how to approach it without overwhelm—you’ll get a lot out of this episode.

In this episode, Dr. Eric sits down with gut health expert Lindsey Parsons to explore the deeper root causes behind SIBO—especially post-infectious IBS. Lindsey shares her personal journey from food poisoning to chronic gut issues and autoimmune conditions, eventually leading her to specialize in helping others heal complex digestive disorders.
They dive into what really drives recurrent SIBO, explaining how an autoimmune response triggered by food poisoning can damage the migrating motor complex, leading to ongoing bacterial overgrowth. Lindsey breaks down the differences between hydrogen and methane SIBO, the role of fungal overgrowth (SIFO), and why many traditional approaches fail to provide lasting results. The conversation also covers testing options like the IBS Smart test, limitations of breath testing, and how to better assess the gut microbiome.
You’ll also learn about effective treatment strategies, including when to use antibiotics versus herbal antimicrobials, the emerging use of MSM, the controversy around berberine, and the critical role of prokinetics in long-term management. If you want a clearer, more balanced understanding of why SIBO keeps coming back and how to manage it effectively, you’ll get a lot out of this episode.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky talks with returning guest Dr. Izabella Wentz about her new book, IBS: Finding and Treating the Root Cause of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Drawing from both personal experience and clinical insight, Dr. Wentz explains why IBS is often more than just a stress-related diagnosis and how it can serve as an early warning sign of deeper imbalances, including thyroid autoimmunity.
The conversation explores the difference between IBS and inflammatory bowel disease, why some people diagnosed with IBS may actually have celiac disease or IBD, and the many possible root causes behind chronic digestive symptoms. Dr. Wentz discusses food reactions, SIBO, parasites, H. pylori, medications, nutrient deficiencies, thyroid hormone imbalances, stress, and lifestyle factors that can all play a role in gut dysfunction. She also shares why testing matters, why symptom relief is not the same as true resolution, and why approaches like the low FODMAP diet may only be a short-term tool.
This episode gives listeners a broader, more practical understanding of how gut issues connect with immune dysregulation and thyroid health. If you want a clearer, more balanced understanding of IBS, IBD, and what these digestive symptoms may really be telling you, you’ll get a lot out of this episode.
