Sign up here: http://www.ketokampchallenge.com  At 19, Dr. Rebecca was diagnosed with Follicular Variant Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma and had a complete thyroidectomy with high-dose radiation- all of which was completely unnecessary. But she didn’t know what else to do. After having her thyroid removed, she suffered from hormone issues that Doctors would write off because all her labs looked “normal.”   She suffered from depression, anxiety, weight loss resistance, and period issues with no help on how to get better. It wasn’t until she decided to draw a line in the sand that no doctor was going to know more about her body than she did her health transformed. She has spent the past decade and a half studying the literature, implementing protocols, using the most up-to-date functional labs and testing, and ancestral tools (like fasting and diet variation) to not only take back her health but to help thousands of men and women to do the same.

Your body needs diversity in how you eat. Unfortunately, most people will stick with the same eating method because they like how their bodies have healed. However, your body doesn’t feel better because of keto. Instead, your body feels better because it is created to heal itself. With keto, you shift your metabolism; you give your body this new form of fuel that it can use efficiently. Now, your body is healing itself! If food were healing, you wouldn’t see healing when you fast. Remember, healing comes from the inside out. Is TSH A Marker of Thyroid Health?  TSH is a pituitary hormone; it can have a delay if there's a conversion issue. People don’t talk about cell receptor sensitivity regarding thyroid hormones. Cell receptor sensitivity going down, liver congestion, gut issues, and liver issues will impact thyroid health. However, TSH will not pick up on it until it’s severe because it’s a pituitary hormone, not a thyroid hormone. If you have other issues in the body, TSH will not always pick them up. If you have the symptoms of thyroid issues, then your doctor needs to pay attention regardless of your TSH markers.    Which Labs Will Be Best To Determine Your Thyroid Health? Dr. Rebecca will still test TSH because it’s a piece of the overall puzzle. From the thyroid, you need to know T4. The thyroid will predominantly make T4. You will get a better idea of thyroid hormone production levels by looking at your free T4 levels. This number will tell you if you have free available hormones to utilize. If you are on thyroid medications, you should also check your total T4 levels. Free T4 will go to the liver and the gut then you will get T3. So, you will also want to know your T3 levels. Plus, you will want free T3 and reverse T3. Most likely, your doctor will not test for all these; it’s time to find a different doctor! Fasting and Ketosis Will Give Your Thyroid A Much-Needed Break T3 works in the mitochondria; it is needed for ATP production. Mitochondrial health and thyroid health go hand in hand. Getting into ketosis will be incredible for your health! Even if you have a thyroid issue, you can see metabolic changes through keto because utilizing ketone bodies for energy is more efficient for ATP production. In a way, you give your thyroid a break while still pr
