In this transformative episode of Bioenergetics Beat, Heather Gray sits down with Dr. Eric Osansky, chiropractor, functional medicine practitioner, and host of the Save My Thyroid podcast. A Graves’ disease survivor turned thyroid expert, Dr. Osansky shares his powerful healing journey from hyperthyroidism to remission using natural, root-cause solutions—and how he’s helped thousands reclaim their health without relying on harsh medications or irreversible surgeries.
Together, they explore the vital role of stress, diet, gut health, and environmental toxins in thyroid dysfunction and autoimmune disease. Dr. Osansky breaks down the differences between Hashimoto’s and Graves’, reveals why adrenal testing and lifestyle habits matter, and shares his approach to supplementing with selenium, vitamin D, and omega-3s. Plus, they take a deep dive into how chlorine, fluoride, and even plastic water bottles can disrupt thyroid function—and what to do about it.
