I could use some help.
I have Hashimoto's which most of you know means I'm Hypothyroid and my immune system is attacking my thyroid (and likely other things).
I've been paleo for a couple months (gluten free for months prior). I just stumbled across Ray Peat this past week. I read a bunch of his articles and couldn't sleep for a couple nights thinking about everything he says.
I've been a very so called "healthy" eater for years: lots of plant foods, fish oil, very little meat, no dairy, no white flour, very little sugar, lots of nuts and seeds (however one good thing is that Ive been eating lots of coconut oil for years). Now that I look back, the "healthier" I ate the worse I felt.
Anyhow, I've been battling depression on and off for the last 10 years. I finally got a full thyroid panel done a year ago thinking I might have a thyroid issue, and that is when I discovered that I was hypothyroid plus auto immune. I'm pretty sure my depression is entirely due to this. A year later not much has changed after doing gluten free, then recently, paleo.
I have not taken any thyroid to date...only because my thyroid issue is a secondary thyroid issue, not a primary thyroid issue. I'm wondering if it might help me.
For the last few days since I found Ray Peat I've been doing OJ, milk, cheese, salt, vitamin e, gelatin, raw carrot. I ordred pregnenolone.
Any special Peat Protocol recommendations for people with Auto Immune diseases (and maybe specifically hashimotos)?? How might the Peat Protocol help stop my auto immune attack (ie. modulate my immune system)?
I'm desperate to get better.
Thanks!!!
Jeff
