About Graves

An overactive thyroid can throw your whole body off, and many people come to DrTalks after a Graves' diagnosis that came with few options explained. Fatigue and poor sleep, a racing or irregular heartbeat, eye and vision changes, confusion over whether it's Graves' or Hashimoto's, and symptoms that look a lot like menopause are all things these experts see every day. These talks also go past the thyroid. Graves' is tied to your immune system, gut health, stress, nutrient levels, and exposures like heavy metals and mold. You'll find conversations on Graves' versus Hashimoto's, how thyroid problems affect your heart and cholesterol, thyroid and fertility, and the role of iodine. Doctors, thyroid specialists and functional medicine practitioners explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your provider about, from full thyroid panels to thyroid antibodies and stool testing, and what helps, from medication and targeted nutrients to gluten-free eating, herbal support and lowering stress.
