Introduction

This video discusses natural ways to shrink thyroid nodules. Dr. Berg emphasizes that this information is supplemental to, not a replacement for, medical care. He begins by showing viewers how to perform a self-thyroid examination and then outlines several factors that may contribute to thyroid nodule development, suggesting dietary and supplemental changes to address them.

Key Takeaways

• Self-Thyroid Examination: Dr. Berg demonstrates a self-examination technique using a mirror and water to identify potential nodules.
• Nodule Commonality: Thyroid nodules are very common, with a high percentage being benign.
• Dietary Changes: Eliminating dairy and gluten from the diet may help shrink nodules.
• Ketogenic Diet & Intermittent Fasting: These are suggested to reduce nodules due to their anti-inflammatory effects and impact on insulin resistance.
• Nutrient Deficiencies: Addressing deficiencies in selenium, zinc, and possibly iodine (depending on current intake) may be beneficial.
• Estrogen Dominance: High estrogen levels can contribute to nodule formation; Dr. Berg suggests consulting a doctor for alternative solutions if this is a factor.
• Turmeric, Spirulina, and Boswellia: A study suggests a combination of these may reduce nodules.
