Often, we’ll see an increase in thyroid hormones in those with Graves’ disease. This is due to thyroid stimulating immunoglobulins (TSI), a type of TSH receptor antibody that binds to the TSH receptors and causes the thyroid gland to release an excessive amount of thyroid hormone.

For some people on the healing journey, TSI and thyroid hormone levels decrease simultaneously. However, this isn’t always the case. Today, I’m sharing why you might find thyroid hormone levels increasing despite decreasing TSI.

In this episode, you’ll learn about:
- Causes of increased thyroid hormone levels in those with Graves' disease
- The relationship between TSI and thyroid hormone production
- What it can mean when thyroid hormone decreases while TSI increases
- Why it’s crucial to find and treat the underlying causes
- How elevated TSI levels can trigger a more vigorous immune response
- Lab reference ranges for TSI
- When to be concerned about fluctuations in thyroid hormones and TSI
- How often to test TSI and thyroid hormone levels


As always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!

“Lifestyle should be the first line before you consider anything else.” - Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum

With less than 7% of adult Americans considered to be metabolically healthy, people are suffering like never before. Chronic diseases and neurodegenerative conditions are on the rise, and mental health is on the decline. At the same time, there’s a significant shortage of providers equipped to help with these conditions.

The good news is that this is where health coaches can step in and make a massive difference. Today, I’m excited to be joined by Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum, who trains people to become Functional Medicine health coaches and helps practitioners and businesses hire them. Dr. Sandi believes health coaches are vital to combating chronic disease and reducing healthcare costs. As founder and CEO of the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy, a collaboration with The Institute for Functional Medicine, Dr. Sandi is a leader in the field of health coaching education.

In this conversation, Dr. Sandi and I discuss the role of health coaches in managing chronic conditions and thyroid health, Dr. Sandi’s career journey and why she founded the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy, the scope of health coaching and how it differs from a medical provider, the importance of individualized treatment protocols, collaboration between health coaches and medical professionals, mind-body medicine techniques, and more. Enjoy the episode!

When hormones are not in their free form, they travel through the bloodstream while bound to a protein.

Thyroid binding globulin (TBG) is one such protein. It binds to the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Essentially, TBG ensures that these hormones reach their intended destination.

Today, I’m sharing the role of TBG, the various factors that can influence its levels, methods for measuring these binding proteins, and strategies to help you bring your TBG levels back to normal.

In this episode, you’ll learn about:
- The role of thyroid binding globulin in the body
- Factors that increase and decrease thyroid binding globulin levels
- How and when to measure thyroid binding globulin
- What you can do to normalize thyroid binding globulin levels


As always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!
