1. 0:00Out of every 10 people, I find four with thyroid problems. How can I tell at home if
2. 0:04I have hypothyroidism? These diseases are new diseases resulting from poor dietary habits
3. 0:10and the high stress levels we live in. For example, vitamin, mineral, and herbal supplements
4. 0:16can help restore thyroid function if any
5. 0:20of these are deficient. Thyroid hormones, which activate the thyroid, become very slow, leading to
6. 0:24hypothyroidism. Dr. Emad Salama, a specialist in therapeutic nutrition,
7. 0:28obesity, and weight loss, asks: What dietary and non-dietary habits
8. 0:32affect thyroid function? Counting calories like a pen and paper count is
9. 0:36completely useless. Does everyone who reduces their food intake lose weight? It never happens. What do you think about apple cider vinegar? Should
10. 0:42I eat it for breakfast? It's very, very, very wrong. They shouldn't drastically reduce their food intake; it makes the thyroid gland
11. 0:48even more sluggish. The comprehensive, quick protocol that anyone can follow to regulate
12. 0:53the thyroid is number H
13. 0:58[music]. Dr. Emad, welcome!
14. 1:08It's a great honor, truly a great honor that you've graced
15. 1:12the podcast. May God bless you. The honor is truly mine. I'm the
16. 1:15one who's very happy to be with you. May God bless you. I'm even happier, and we
17. 1:19'll benefit even more. And of course, the viewers will benefit even more because Dr. Emad will
18. 1:24talk today and reveal a treatment for hypothyroidism without medication. This gives you
19. 1:31the opportunity to treat this problem without drugs. According to Dr. Emad's experiences, many
20. 1:39people have noticed positive results. So watch the video to the end to find out
21. 1:45the answers. Okay, Dr. Emad, let's ask the question for today's episode or podcast.
22. 1:51Personally, I try to eat breakfast as late as
23. 1:55possible because I'm convinced that breakfast is the worst meal of the day. It
24. 2:01stops the metabolism, so I let myself go as long as possible without eating until
25. 2:06I feel hungry. As soon as I feel hungry, I start eating breakfast. But I didn't eat breakfast today.
26. 2:10I mean, I don't skip breakfast every day. Not at all. I used to eat breakfast, and it caused me
27. 2:14health problems, so I stopped. But I try as much as possible to eat later, meaning
28. 2:21I have dinner early, eat breakfast late, and then dinner early, keeping the two meals close
29. 2:28together. But I never eat breakfast in the morning, absolutely not. So, the idea that breakfast is an essential meal
30. 2:32and necessary is illogical, completely illogical
31. 2:35for everyone. Human nature is not to eat breakfast.
32. 2:39Imagine ancient humans, did they wake up and find... He opens the refrigerator
33. 2:43and eats the food from it. That's not normal. He goes out hunting, gathers fruit,
34. 2:50collects produce, and then comes back to eat. I have to exert effort first and move around, and then I think about eating.
35. 2:56But the opposite is illogical and incorrect. This applies, by the way, to religion. Glory be to God! In
36. 3:01the Quran, we say, "And to fast is better for you, if you only knew."
37. 3:08This means that the longer you go without food, the better it is for your cells.
38. 3:11Excellent! Okay, Dr. Emad, let's get into the topic of the episode because, frankly, it's quite substantial, and we need to benefit
39. 3:16from it fully. The first thing is the thyroid gland. How does it work?
40. 3:22What is its function? The thyroid gland is considered one of the most important glands
41. 3:26in the body because it's responsible for metabolism,
42. 3:31energy production, and protein production. That's why people with
43. 3:35thyroid problems experience muscle problems and skin problems because
44. 3:39protein production is affected. It's very responsible for digestion, male reproductive function, fertility, and
45. 3:46many other bodily functions. It's also responsible for memory
46. 3:51and concentration, and for something very important: oxygenation. It keeps the oxygen levels high in
47. 3:56the tissues. That's why people with thyroid problems
48. 4:01often have lower oxygen levels, which is very noticeable in their energy levels, fatigue, and other symptoms. The
49. 4:07thyroid gland is one of the most important glands in the body
50. 4:10; it's like the body's maestro, responsible for so many things. People often think
51. 4:14it's just about metabolism and energy, but that's only part of its function. It's responsible
52. 4:19for many other things, and we'll discuss the symptoms experienced by people with
53. 4:24thyroid problems. We'll learn that many people have thyroid problems without
54. 4:28realizing it, and even doctors sometimes don't know. It's related
55. 4:31to other glands, but of course, we know that... Any gland
56. 4:37that is affected affects other glands and also has a direct impact on the thyroid gland.
57. 4:42That's why we notice that people with thyroid problems often experience
58. 4:46depression, anxiety, stress, and a generally low mood. These are common
59. 4:51symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress, and they certainly have a significant impact
60. 4:55on other glands. So, we've explained
61. 5:00the importance of the thyroid gland and maintaining its health. Now, how can I tell if I have hypothyroidism before seeking treatment or
62. 5:06getting tests done? How can I tell at home if I have hypothyroidism? First thing...
63. 5:12People really feel this fatigue issue. I can't exert myself; I
64. 5:17get out of breath with the slightest effort. I feel like I have absolutely no energy. Other things include
65. 5:23my weight gradually increasing, and when I try to diet, I can't lose weight. My skin becomes fragile and weak because,
66. 5:29as we mentioned, the thyroid gland is involved in protein synthesis, so the skin itself isn't formed
67. 5:34properly, becoming rough and thin. Hair loss is another
68. 5:40very specific sign of a thyroid problem because the hair falls out and becomes weak, rough, and thin.
69. 5:46When the hair loss is very noticeable,
70. 5:50and these symptoms appear, you must seek immediate medical attention because we need to have your thyroid checked. Some people
71. 5:56experience a very common symptom: difficulty swallowing. This is because when the thyroid gland becomes underactive, it
72. 6:01starts to swell to try to perform its function, just like the heart muscle does when, for example, there is a
73. 6:08prolonged period of high blood pressure. So, because he's putting pressure on himself, and his muscle is
74. 6:13the heart muscle, it starts to enlarge. The same thing happens with the thyroid gland; it swells noticeably at the beginning of hypothyroidism
75. 6:19because it's trying to secrete more enzymes and hormones, so it swells
76. 6:24a little. Then, when I swallow, I feel pain while swallowing, I feel suffocated, I feel uncomfortable.
77. 6:30These signs should be seen as soon as they appear; we shouldn't delay. We have to get checked out right away.
78. 6:33Excellent, you've explained it to us, Doctor. Okay,
79. 6:36let's find out what causes it. Why does it happen in the first place? Why does hypothyroidism occur?
80. 6:42First of all, back in the day, when I was studying nutrition, they told us that coastal areas like
81. 6:48Alexandria, Marsa Matrouh, and those places were less prone to thyroid problems
82. 6:55because they were exposed to iodine, and iodine is the most important element for activating
83. 7:00thyroid hormones. I was surprised to find out that in Alexandria, while I was working in In Alexandria, out of every 10 people, I find
84. 7:06four with thyroid problems. It's a staggering
85. 7:10and unexpected number, and many people are unaware of it. I mean, I do a normal checkup and find my thyroid
86. 7:13is underactive or prone to becoming underactive. So where does this come from? I started asking
87. 7:19myself, and when I looked back at my medical history, I discovered that our
88. 7:23dietary problems are the main reason for the alarming spread of thyroid issues.
89. 7:28Today, you'll find someone with a thyroid problem in almost every household.
90. 7:33The main reason here is the digestive system. We eat
91. 7:39a lot of flour, pastries, baked goods, and processed foods. We're exposed to extreme stress, which affects stomach acid. Stomach acid production
92. 7:45decreases with stress and irregular eating habits. Also, the beneficial bacteria
93. 7:50in the digestive system decrease, so the stomach acts like a bag that should be
94. 7:54sealed shut, preventing any nutrients from entering the bloodstream.
95. 7:58What happens is something called... Intestinal perforation, also known as leaky gut or intestinal perforation,
96. 8:03allows bacteria, parasites, and protein to enter the bloodstream.
97. 8:10The immune system, recognizing
98. 8:13these foreign substances, produces antibodies that
99. 8:17attack the thyroid gland, weakening it and causing hypothyroidism. Therefore,
100. 8:22the problem is linked to two main factors: diet, which damages the digestive system, and the immune system
101. 8:29, which attacks itself. This accounts for 70-80% of thyroid cases. Furthermore, poor diet
102. 8:36leads to weight gain and insulin resistance. Insulin resistance prevents glucose from
103. 8:41reaching the pituitary gland, which stimulates the thyroid. This suppression of
104. 8:48the thyroid gland's function, as insulin resistance prevents glucose from entering its cells, disrupts TSH secretion. This, in turn,
105. 8:54indirectly affects the thyroid gland. So, if the
106. 8:59digestive system or our diet... What we eat is the main cause of thyroid problems
107. 9:03right now. Ah,
108. 9:05it's clear now, Doctor. I saw a clip of yours where you said there are two causes: hormonal and immunological.
109. 9:11Exactly the immunological one, which, as you mentioned, is when
110. 9:13someone has a thyroid cyst that has leaked and there's an immune response
111. 9:18that affects the thyroid's function.
112. 9:20And the hormonal one is the problem of
113. 9:22insulin resistance. So
114. 9:24, to get rid of hypothyroidism, we have to focus on these two.
115. 9:28Exactly.
116. 9:30If we want to treat the thyroid and get this over with, it's incredibly simple, simpler
117. 9:37than people imagine. Some people think, "Doctor, can I stop taking
118. 9:41thyroid medication? How is that possible?" Yes, you can stop taking thyroid medication, it's very easy. But we have to
119. 9:47take the necessary steps. I always say, let's take the necessary steps when we do anything. Make an effort, swear
120. 9:52to God, before you become dependent on medication. And I'll tell you about... It's very strange. Imagine that
121. 9:58during the shortage of thyroid medication, many people
122. 10:03couldn't find it in the market and went two or three months without taking it. So, before
123. 10:06resuming the medication, they decided to get tested. Half of the people who got tested—and I'm speaking from many personal experiences—
124. 10:12found their hormone levels normal, meaning their thyroid function was normal.
125. 10:16Why? Because they were following a specific diet, but they were afraid to stop the medication since they were taking it.
126. 10:22Their concept is that the thyroid gland is a chronic disease, and I can't stop taking the medication.
127. 10:27So, we'll explain the comprehensive, quick protocol that anyone can follow to manage the
128. 10:32thyroid issue. Number one, we need to regulate our diet to ensure that it doesn't
129. 10:38cause inflammation in the intestines or digestive system. We'll eliminate flour. Eliminating flour
130. 10:43alone is 50% of the solution because flour contains a lot of gluten
131. 10:48. If I have leaky gut, this gluten enters the bloodstream, as we mentioned. Unfortunately, the antibodies
132. 10:53that attack gluten are similar to the antibodies that attack the thyroid gland. Therefore,
133. 10:58if we eliminate gluten, the first step in successfully treating hypothyroidism is to stop consuming flour. So
134. 11:03, when eliminating flour, we also eliminate milk—not yogurt or buttermilk—because milk naturally contains
135. 11:09hormones. Milk is made to nourish the baby, so it's natural. There's something
136. 11:14called insulin involved. Gross Factor can affect the size of the thyroid gland and can also cause
137. 11:19leaky gut or worsen existing leaky gut. We should specifically avoid bacon husks because they are
138. 11:24very difficult to digest and release lectins that also affect the digestive system. We should
139. 11:29completely avoid processed foods, especially those containing soy, as they affect and impair the thyroid gland.
140. 11:34We should also avoid seed oils like sunflower oil and corn oil because they are
141. 11:40high in omega-6 fatty acids, which cause severe inflammation in the digestive system, thus worsening leaky
142. 11:45gut and affecting the thyroid gland. So, this is the first step in preventing
143. 11:51digestive problems; we've eliminated the causes of inflammation. Now, let
144. 11:56's move to the second step. Since the immune system attacks the thyroid gland and stops its function, we need to enable the immune system to see things correctly. Therefore, we
145. 12:01will strengthen the immune system and help it see things correctly through Vitamin D. 50,000 IU weekly
146. 12:07will help the immune system function properly. You see, it's not going to attack itself. Selenium and zinc greatly improve the
147. 12:12thyroid gland, whether you take them as supplements or from liver and nuts. The important
148. 12:17thing is to include them in your diet. Iodine is also important, especially for people with hypothyroidism,
149. 12:22because iodine affects the activation of thyroid hormones. So, I make sure
150. 12:29to get enough iodine, whether I take it as a supplement, from seaweed, naturally, or
151. 12:34even from sea salt. It doesn't matter; the important thing is to get iodine. If I have
152. 12:38low iron stores or iron levels, I need to take iron supplements or something to increase them, like liver, as we mentioned, to
153. 12:46boost my iron levels. Iron is directly related to the thyroid gland. Hemoglobin also
154. 12:51affects thyroid activation because it carries oxygen to the
155. 12:56thyroid gland, allowing it to function efficiently. So, we've also regulated our immune system
156. 13:01and everything else. Let's move on. Regarding the third part, which is about improving thyroid function,
157. 13:06there are scientifically proven foods that, when included in my diet,
158. 13:12greatly improve thyroid function and activate it. Olive oil and black seed are both
159. 13:19scientifically proven to improve thyroid function, so I include these in my diet to
160. 13:24improve thyroid function. As for the dietary system we're using,
161. 13:29intermittent fasting is the best system for people with
162. 13:34thyroid problems because, quite simply, firstly, it greatly improves immunity, which is the root
163. 13:39cause of thyroid problems. Secondly, it induces a process called autophagy, where the body consumes antibodies
164. 13:46in the blood that attack the thyroid. Therefore, following intermittent fasting for
165. 13:5245 days improves thyroid function by 60-70% because it improves immunity and induces autophagy.
166. 13:59This is the comprehensive protocol if we implement it. This is a very simple protocol. We'll find that
167. 14:04the thyroid gland improves, its secretion starts to improve and increase, TSH starts
168. 14:09to decrease, and the immune system doesn't attack itself. We're back to square one, we've done a factory reset.
169. 14:14Wow, Dr. Emad, I'm sure you've given the best explanation, the best explanation
170. 14:23of the problem of hypothyroidism. May God bless you.
171. 14:26Honestly, it's the best explanation you've given, Doctor. Of course, everyone benefited from the points you mentioned,
172. 14:32which is the first and most important step, as you mentioned, which is to
173. 14:38completely prevent the causes of hypothyroidism, or try to reduce them at the beginning. I think complete prevention
174. 14:43is the best thing in the initial period, especially since we're in a period where, whenever I talk to someone,
175. 14:48I ask them a direct question: Do you want to stop, reduce, or take the medication as you wish? It
176. 14:54depends on your choice. The matter becomes a challenge, as long as I've decided to study
177. 14:59to excel in my work. In sports, you exercise. If you decide to treat yourself, and that's a very big goal,
178. 15:06you need to make some sacrifices. You'll have to give up some
179. 15:10simple things. We're saying give up gluten. Well, you have millet flour; you can include it. You can include
180. 15:16oats, but make sure they're gluten-free. That's fine. Include rice as a carbohydrate. We're not
181. 15:22saying you have to eliminate all carbohydrates, but we are saying you have to stop the causes of inflammation.
182. 15:27The first 45 days are especially important because the holes in the digestive system start to
183. 15:32improve. This will have a very high impact after we treat it. I'll go back to eating gluten, but in moderation,
184. 15:37without increasing the amount. I'll remind you of Dr. Emad's accounts; I'll put them
185. 15:42in the description box and the first comment. He has an Instagram account, a Facebook account, and
186. 15:47also a YouTube channel. I advise you to follow him. He provides a lot of healthy information about
187. 15:54hypothyroidism and its function, as well as information for people concerned with controlling
188. 16:00their blood sugar levels. So follow his accounts; honestly, you'll benefit greatly. Okay, Dr. Emad, I
189. 16:05really benefited; the explanation was excellent.
190. 16:08Thank you. But now, let's talk
191. 16:12about the calorie system. So, according to what you're saying, a calorie system,
192. 16:16reducing or adjusting calories, or a person consuming their required calories,
193. 16:22doesn't benefit someone suffering from hypothyroidism. Is that true or not?
194. 16:27Firstly, for thyroid patients, it's not advisable to drastically reduce their food intake. It creates
195. 16:33something called negative feedback, which makes the thyroid gland
196. 16:37become even more sluggish when you reduce your food intake. Now, regarding the issue of calories themselves, firstly, I
197. 16:45completely reject the idea that the human body is a machine where I input
198. 16:50calculated calories and output calculated calories. There is some scientific evidence to support this.
199. 16:55Firstly, has everyone who reduced their food intake lost weight? Absolutely not. Has everyone who increased their food intake gained weight? Absolutely not.
200. 17:03The matter is based on the hormonal chemical composition within
201. 17:08the body. So, calculating calories like a pen and paper is completely useless.
202. 17:13As for the idea of ​​reducing food intake, what we are saying is that we should eat in a balanced way. We have rules that God has set
203. 17:20for us regarding food, and if we follow them, we will be very comfortable. God said, "Eat and drink, but do not be wasteful."
204. 17:26This means eat and drink without extravagance; don't drink too much, and don't eat too much. So, the matter is not based on
205. 17:33me sitting around calculating calories with pen and paper. And the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said... Peace be upon him. He said, "According to the son of Adam, a few morsels
206. 17:38are enough to sustain him." So, I don't have to count my calories with pen and paper, but I regulate them within
207. 17:45my energy limits. I eat until I feel comfortable without filling my stomach completely.
208. 17:51I leave some empty because I have to leave a third for food, a third for drink, and a third for air. I don't need to worry
209. 17:57about counting because that will put psychological pressure on me. So, I don't completely agree with the whole calorie thing for
210. 18:02thyroid patients. But the system itself, like intermittent fasting, and reducing the number of meals and
211. 18:08the amount of carbohydrates I eat, is the best way without having to count
212. 18:11with pen and paper. I mean, some people will say, "You've
213. 18:15cut out all the types of food we're used to. You've cut out bread, you've cut out rice, you've cut out
214. 18:21pasta
215. 18:24. So what do we eat? Give us meals. How do we prepare the meals in the first place?" Well
216. 18:28, let's create a dietary system that people can benefit from. A very simple dietary system, maybe.
217. 18:32We'll do something for the thyroid gland. First thing, when you wake up, don't eat right away.
218. 18:36Wait three or four hours. Then you'll take
219. 18:38your medication. If you're taking medication, you'll need to do something called detoxification.
220. 18:42If you're taking medication, you don't stop it suddenly because your body is used to taking
221. 18:46it every day. It's not good for the thyroid gland to suddenly stop receiving the medication; it will be disrupted. So we
222. 18:51do detoxification and start monitoring the thyroid every month. When you wake up,
223. 18:56you'll take your pill. Wait three or four hours without breakfast. Then you'll have your first meal.
224. 19:00This meal shouldn't contain any carbohydrates at all. You can include eggs, cheese (especially
225. 19:05fermented or hard cheeses), cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, or whatever else you like,
226. 19:10but remove the starches. Why remove the starches? Because this will stimulate the thyroid gland
227. 19:16and make it less effective at generalizing BMR ( proteinizing factor). Your metabolism will be high, and your fat-burning rate
228. 19:20will be better, which will give your thyroid gland a better chance to function properly.
229. 19:24We all eat this meal, of course, and don't forget
230. 19:27healthy fats. It's best to take two tablespoons of olive oil on an empty stomach right before the meal because
231. 19:30it contains powerful antioxidants and improves immunity. Then, after four to six hours, I have
232. 19:36my second meal, a very normal meal with whatever protein is available at home, cooked well, whether it's
233. 19:41chicken, meat, liver, kofta, eggs, or whatever is available. I also have a portion of carbohydrates
234. 19:47like rice, potatoes, taro, or oatmeal (make sure it's gluten-free, like
235. 19:54making bread with millet flour, which is gluten-free). I can add it as a carbohydrate source; there's no
236. 19:59problem. I finished my meal, which included vegetables
237. 20:01, protein, and a portion of carbohydrates, and wanted something sweet to lift my spirits, so I added
238. 20:06a piece of fruit. Any kind of fruit is fine, there's absolutely no problem with that. Or three or four squares of
239. 20:11dark chocolate, so I've had something healthy and enjoyed myself at the same time. I've also had carbohydrates and something sweet, and
240. 20:16everything is perfect. Honestly, Dr. Emad, we benefited a lot from this episode. So, if
241. 20:24I apply these tips you mentioned, you said we should give them a one-month window to implement them.
242. 20:29These tips will show positive results. The process takes
243. 20:36exactly 30 to 45 days, and the thyroid gland starts functioning. Anyone following this protocol
244. 20:43will notice a significant decrease in their TSH hormone levels after testing because the gland has begun
245. 20:48to function properly, and TSH production starts to decline. This becomes very noticeable after about a month.
246. 20:53So, we should give it a chance initially.
247. 20:57Does this mean we should completely abstain from bread forever?
248. 21:02The idea is that we avoid it for a specific period, and then, after addressing
249. 21:08digestive issues, we can reintroduce these foods intermittently.
250. 21:12Our bodies have the ability to cope with emergencies. For example, if I eat
251. 21:17white flour bread once a week (even the worst type of flour), my body will be able to handle it. However, if I
252. 21:24eat white flour every day, my body will lose this ability. After addressing the underlying issues, we'll be in the recovery phase.
253. 21:29I liken this to someone with a wound. In his hands, the doctor tells him, "Don't expose it
254. 21:32to heat, don't expose it to water, and cover it well because of bacteria and things like that. This is a
255. 21:37temporary period until healing happens. After that, I start to feel normal, my skin becomes
256. 21:41normal again . So the idea is the same: I restrict it for a temporary period, then I
257. 21:46gradually reintroduce it."
258. 21:48So, what are the dietary and non-dietary habits that affect thyroid function?
259. 21:53That's very interesting. There are unexpected things that can
260. 21:57damage our thyroid gland without us knowing. Number one is the idea of ​​drinking coffee first thing in the morning.
261. 22:04Why? Because the product is... We agreed that the main problem with the thyroid gland is
262. 22:10the digestive system.
263. 22:12As soon as you wake up, your cortisol is naturally high to get you out of bed.
264. 22:17So, some people, as soon as they open their eyes, drink coffee. Coffee raises cortisol even more,
265. 22:22so you've created a jump in your cortisol levels. High cortisol levels can cause
266. 22:28problems with stomach acid
267. 22:32, leading to an imbalance in the digestive system. This can lead to various issues. Secondly,
268. 22:39the high caffeine intake we consume first thing in the morning can disrupt
269. 22:43thyroid hormones. That's why I advise coffee drinkers to wait an hour or an hour
270. 22:48and a half after waking up to avoid harming their thyroid. This is a
271. 22:53very dangerous habit. Secondly, breakfast in the morning is crucial. Give your body a chance to process it. Breakfast is one of the main causes of
272. 23:00hypothyroidism and decreased thyroid function. When we wake up, we give our
273. 23:06stomachs a chance to cleanse themselves of toxins and metabolic waste from the
274. 23:13previous day
275. 23:16. This process takes two to three hours. It's like opening your shop in the morning; you clean and prepare it to welcome
276. 23:22your customers. The same principle applies to the body. He needs to sit for two or three hours
277. 23:26without any energy intake to sort things out and eliminate toxins from his body before I start receiving
278. 23:31food. Continuing to eat breakfast as soon as I wake up
279. 23:34causes a huge problem with my thyroid and puts a lot of pressure on it. So this is
280. 23:39also the second problem. The third thing, and this is very important, is another habit we
281. 23:42have: snacking. Constantly stimulating insulin increases inflammation in the body. So, every
282. 23:48time I eat—some people say five or six small meals a day—this
283. 23:53greatly stimulates insulin throughout the day, increases inflammation in the body, and is
284. 23:56very harmful to the thyroid gland. Number four: processed foods. Processed foods are a disaster in every sense of the word,
285. 24:02especially since they always contain soy leucine. This is present in most processed soy products,
286. 24:08and it destroys the thyroid gland. So, processed foods are among the things we must stop in our lives, whether as
287. 24:12dietary habits or as part of our overall mindset. It's important to avoid stress and nervous tension because stress affects
288. 24:20the stomach and severely constricts the thyroid gland, preventing it from functioning properly. That's why we should
289. 24:26take a morning walk to lower cortisol levels and go to bed early to allow our hormones
290. 24:31to regenerate. A study suggests that people who sleep late are
291. 24:3640% more likely to develop thyroid disorders, a very high percentage, because
292. 24:41they don't allow their hormones to regenerate properly. So, if we adjust these habits—
293. 24:45sleeping early, waking up early, exercising, skipping breakfast—it will make
294. 24:49a huge difference in thyroid function. Dr. Emad mentioned that
295. 24:55beneficial bacteria play a role in activating the thyroid gland.
296. 24:59We're talking about the thyroid gland because the thyroid hormone is stimulated from
297. 25:04T4 to T3, since T3 is the active form of the hormone. The thyroid gland, which produces thyroid hormones,
298. 25:08needs very strong stomach acid, beneficial bacteria, and bile.
299. 25:15If any of these are deficient, the thyroid hormones that normally activate it become very slow, leading
300. 25:20to hypothyroidism. Therefore, people who have had their gallbladder removed are more prone to
301. 25:24thyroid problems, and we supplement them with bile salts to improve
302. 25:30thyroid function. People with problems with beneficial bacteria...
303. 25:33Taking probiotics, whether from kefir, yogurt, or fermented pickles,
304. 25:38greatly improves thyroid function. People with stomach acid problems, like those taking
305. 25:43antacids or things that suppress stomach acid production, are more prone to thyroid issues.
306. 25:48That's why it's preferable to use apple cider vinegar for people with
307. 25:52these digestive problems to increase stomach acid and stimulate thyroid secretion.
308. 25:57What do you think of apple cider vinegar in general? If we buy it properly, it must
309. 26:02be organic, unfiltered, and unpasteurized. It contains the "mother of vinegar,"
310. 26:06which is the probiotics or beneficial bacteria it contains. This is the secret to youth in East
311. 26:12Asia because they constantly consume fermented foods and vinegar
312. 26:16. Even the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to make vinegar stews. So vinegar
313. 26:21is considered one of the magical things that preserves youth because it improves the
314. 26:25digestive system's absorption of vitamins and minerals and stimulates the pancreas and gallbladder. We need
315. 26:32stomach acid. It's very powerful for stimulating digestion, the pancreas, and the gallbladder. It's very important for maintaining youth
316. 26:38and healthy skin, and it has many benefits. It improves insulin resistance and thyroid function
317. 26:42. Besides activating the thyroid, it also aids digestion, helps
318. 26:48increase metabolism, reduces belly fat, and helps reduce liver fat. It
319. 26:53has many significant benefits. However, some people shouldn't use apple cider vinegar.
320. 26:56Yes, people with stomach ulcers should be treated first before introducing
321. 27:00an acidic substance into their stomach. They shouldn't use apple cider vinegar.
322. 27:05I also mentioned one important point for restoring thyroid function: vitamin D. It's essential
323. 27:11that its level is within the normal range.
324. 27:14So how do we raise it? Unfortunately, vitamin D has a major absorption problem. For
325. 27:21example, we used to say that casual sun exposure
326. 27:28is sufficient, even for just 10 minutes. But the problem is that... We now have difficulty
327. 27:32absorbing vitamin D because we're not used to it anymore. We're in air-conditioned environments and
328. 27:37our sun exposure is reduced, so it's not like it used to be.
329. 27:39In my opinion, we should take 50,000 IU
330. 27:43of vitamin D per week, but not alone. We should take it with vitamin K2 because this
331. 27:48will improve its absorption and protect us from potential toxicity. We should also take it with
332. 27:52magnesium because magnesium also improves vitamin D absorption. Vitamin D has a function
333. 27:57; it's involved in many hormonal functions.
334. 28:02It's not just a vitamin, it's a hormone.
335. 28:05Vitamin D has the advantage of not only strengthening the immune system, but
336. 28:10also enabling it to distinguish between the body's own tissues and
337. 28:17foreign substances. That's why vitamin D is essential for anyone with an autoimmune disease, whether it's rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto's,
338. 28:23Graves' disease, or any other autoimmune disease. Why
339. 28:27is it necessary to have vitamin D levels within the normal range to restore thyroid function?
340. 28:32Of course, it's essential. Since we mentioned vitamin D, it should be
341. 28:35in supplement form. Let's consider other vitamin, mineral, and herbal supplements
342. 28:43that can help restore thyroid function.
343. 28:46Even doctors prescribe
344. 28:51selenium and zinc supplements, even for those already taking thyroid medication. These are crucial for preventing
345. 28:57attacks on the thyroid. As we mentioned, ashwagandha is
346. 29:02truly magical for treating the thyroid, producing amazing results. This is for two reasons: firstly, because it has
347. 29:07a direct effect on thyroid hormones, and secondly, because it reduces stress. We've previously discussed how
348. 29:12stress and anxiety negatively impact the thyroid
349. 29:16. Olive oil is also fantastic for treating the thyroid because it's an antioxidant and, importantly,
350. 29:23it's natural. So it removes toxins from the body
351. 29:28, and we'll notice that most people with thyroid problems
352. 29:32also suffer from constipation. Olive oil is important in this regard. Black seed oil, or black seed in general, is
353. 29:37scientifically proven to have a direct effect on improving thyroid function. Including it in our diet,
354. 29:41whether in the form of black seed or oil, yields excellent results in treating
355. 29:47the thyroid. Dr. Emad, I honestly benefited greatly from this episode, and I'm sure
356. 29:53anyone suffering from this problem also benefited a lot. Now let's move on to another
357. 29:58very important topic, which is the "for or against" axis.
358. 30:01Okay , okay. I'll give you some words, some nutritional health concepts, and you say whether you are for or against.
359. 30:08Number one: the keto diet. For or against? Yes, with moderation. Keto isn't a lifestyle; it's a
360. 30:18therapeutic system with specific uses, whether for problems in people with nervous system or
361. 30:23brain issues, or those with autism, or for people who have problems
362. 30:29dealing with carbohydrates in general. It's considered a therapeutic system. We'll use it for a temporary period, then
363. 30:34Let's get back to our lifestyle. I'm all for it, but in moderation. It's not the best
364. 30:40system in the world because it isn't.
365. 30:42It depends on the person, their goals, and their lifestyle.
366. 30:47Exactly, exactly, exactly like that. But if someone has, for example,
367. 30:51insulin resistance, and they want to continue
368. 30:55with keto, that's perfectly fine. There's no problem at all. As for keto,
369. 30:59we always called it that in our descriptions. It's the body's safe mode.
370. 31:03You put your body into safe mode for a while to cleanse it and improve
371. 31:09its metabolism, and all that. Then you go back. In the end, any diet is
372. 31:13like the clothes you wear. Wear what suits you. If you're comfortable with this system,
373. 31:18continue with it. If you're not comfortable and it's putting a strain on your nerves and your life, don't actually continue.
374. 31:22So, does turmeric cure all diseases? Yes or no
375. 31:27? Turmeric is a scientifically proven therapeutic powerhouse, and it's truly used in treating a wide range of ailments
376. 31:35, from diabetes and inflammation to thyroid issues and digestive problems—
377. 31:40literally from A to Z. However, it shouldn't be used as a sole treatment; it must be combined with
378. 31:47our dietary plans. Including it in our diet will greatly benefit us,
379. 31:51but still within certain guidelines. For example, black pepper should be added to activate the curcumin it contains.
380. 31:58It should be taken with a fatty meal to enhance the absorption of its plant-based compounds. Furthermore,
381. 32:03it should be consumed in small quantities, not large amounts. Some people overuse it, and it increases
382. 32:08blood sugar levels, so it shouldn't be used in large quantities for extended periods.
383. 32:12It certainly has numerous therapeutic benefits.
384. 32:15It should be consumed with food, either as a drink or
385. 32:19in some other form. There's a very popular drink called "Golden Drink," which is made with turmeric, cinnamon,
386. 32:23and ginger. Sprinkle with black pepper and add... Some people add
387. 32:27coconut butter or milk, or milk or coconut milk. This improves the sauce because the fat
388. 32:34in it, along with the black pepper, enhances it. Some people add it to food with pepper and then add
389. 32:38something fatty. Both methods will give results, but I recommend using fresh turmeric.
390. 32:44If I want to use turmeric for medicinal purposes, I should get fresh turmeric because, unfortunately, much of the turmeric
391. 32:49available in the market is adulterated and has additives. This powdered turmeric unfortunately
392. 32:53has other additives, and sometimes they add colors to it
393. 32:56, so it doesn't give the desired result. If we can get fresh turmeric, it will be much better. Of course,
394. 33:00fresh turmeric is the carrot itself, just like ginger.
395. 33:04It's very good and gives great results. Some people chew it with pepper, and it gives wonderful results.
396. 33:08It's available at
397. 33:10herbalists. Yes, exactly. Okay,
398. 33:14breakfast is a meal. A fundamental and important point: for or against breakfast?
399. 33:21Of course, we must eat breakfast, but the important question is when. What does breakfast mean? Breakfast is breaking
400. 33:27the fast. The important question is, when should I eat? Should I eat as soon as I wake up? This is very, very, very wrong because it contradicts
401. 33:35logic and human nature. Humans weren't created to wake up early and eat breakfast. This is one of the most
402. 33:42common mistakes we make, and it's
403. 33:46completely the opposite of reality. Delay your breakfast as much as possible. Don't break your fast unless you feel hungry. Don't
404. 33:54eat breakfast early in the morning as soon as you wake up. This habit alone can
405. 33:58significantly change your life if you adopt it. Delay your breakfast as much as you can. As for breakfast,
406. 34:04yes, okay, I eat breakfast because we all have to. But when should I eat breakfast? Delay your breakfast as much as possible
407. 34:09for everyone—children, adults, people with diabetes, people with high blood pressure—everyone needs to. Some people might skip
408. 34:16breakfast or not eat it at all. It's normal. Ask any child going to school, and I'll tell them... My dear,
409. 34:21if you eat breakfast in the morning, he'll tell you, "I don't want to eat breakfast," because that's human nature. Humans weren't created
410. 34:26to wake up and immediately find food next to them. That doesn't happen at all. Metabolism is essential,
411. 34:30and it's one of the well-known therapeutic methods. In order to renew
412. 34:36their hormones, enzymes, and cells, and to expel toxins from the body, a person shouldn't eat breakfast in the morning. They should leave at least two or three hours.
413. 34:40But some people, as soon as they wake up, open their eyes and say, "I have to eat breakfast." This is a disaster. Over time,
414. 34:45it will completely ruin their body's metabolism.
415. 34:48Okay, so the more water I drink, the better my health will be. Okay,
416. 34:54first of all, forget about science altogether. God Almighty knows best. What did He say?
417. 35:01Eat and drink, but don't be wasteful. Don't overindulge in drinking or eating. Drinking too much can
418. 35:09cause problems. For example, I woke up this morning without eating anything,
419. 35:14and I heard a doctor say to drink four liters of water first thing in the morning, or four
420. 35:18cups of water, to detoxify the body and get rid of excess water.
421. 35:23But this will cause you to feel weak because the water you're losing will cause two problems:
422. 35:27First, it dilutes stomach acid, which can
423. 35:33cause digestive problems and, over time, acid reflux. Second, it disrupts the digestive system.
424. 35:38Salts, because when water enters your body, the body must balance it with sodium. So when it finds
425. 35:43a lot of water, it will not find sodium. I haven’t eaten yet, so it causes a drop in blood circulation. So when
426. 35:47you drink, you may get dizzy. In addition, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him,
427. 35:53when he was fasting and came to break his fast, would break his fast either with a date or by drinking a small amount of water. That is,
428. 35:59he would drink a small sip and a small amount. Why? Because, well, it's human nature. It's not right to drink large amounts of water after a
429. 36:07long period of fasting, or after not eating for a long time, like waking up and drinking
430. 36:12large quantities of water. So , drink when you're thirsty and in moderate amounts. You shouldn't drink large amounts of water all at once
431. 36:19because that disrupts the body's salt balance. Ah, ah, the picture is clear now. Okay, to
432. 36:26lose weight, you have to reduce your food intake and calories. Whether you agree or disagree, I'm talking about reducing unhealthy foods.
433. 36:35But the whole calorie reduction thing depends on each person and their feelings. For
434. 36:41example, if someone eats a lot of carbohydrates, well, carbohydrates, if we look at them in terms of calories,
435. 36:46we'll find they have fewer calories than fats. Three tablespoons of olive oil
436. 36:52are equivalent to a large loaf of bread, right in terms of calories? But that loaf of bread increases weight, raises
437. 37:00insulin levels, and can cause inflammation. Olive oil, on the other hand, treats constipation, has antioxidants, and gives you
438. 37:06a feeling of fullness. Some people feel full, others feel hungry. So, the key is the type of food you eat, the timing of
439. 37:14your meals, and your hormones. These are the most important factors. If you want to lose weight, leave a long period of time each day
440. 37:21without eating. Regarding the type of food you eat, reduce carbohydrates based on your energy level. If you expend a lot of energy,
441. 37:29work throughout the day, move around, and run, then go ahead and consume carbohydrates. But if I don't eat, I don't expend energy, and I'm sitting at
442. 37:35home, why would I consume fuel? Then reduce carbohydrates. The type of food
443. 37:41you eat depends on the timing of your meals and the hormones involved. Stress is a huge factor. Relax, trust in
444. 37:48God, and remember Him constantly to calm your mind. Go to bed as early as possible to replenish
445. 37:54your hormones. If you do this without counting calories, without a calculator, without weighing yourself,
446. 37:59you'll find yourself losing weight and your health improving. You mentioned that the amount
447. 38:04of calories depends on your activity level. How should I determine the exact amount?
448. 38:06For example, someone who exercises regularly and is generally sedentary most of the time
449. 38:12, how much carbohydrates should they consume?
450. 38:15The smallest possible quantity means, for example, meals, spoonfuls, like how many loaves of bread.
451. 38:18If we're talking about someone who stays at home constantly, not exerting any effort,
452. 38:23like housewives, for example, they shouldn't
453. 38:27consume any carbohydrates at all except from fruit. Why? Because fruit gives them antioxidants and fiber for
454. 38:33digestive health. But for me, for example, what's the maximum I can consume? Six
455. 38:38spoonfuls of rice, for instance, and it should be basmati rice or something with fiber to give me a feeling of fullness.
456. 38:43I shouldn't consume more than that because, ultimately, it's about the fuel I consume.
457. 38:48Carbohydrates are the body's fuel, so I use fuel according to the energy I consume.
458. 38:53Yes, we really benefited a lot, Dr. Emad, and I know your time is precious, but let's summarize
459. 39:00the video with one piece of advice. Give us advice for someone suffering from sluggishness, a thyroid problem, or any health issues.
460. 39:05The advice I would give to people is that God Almighty has created a cure for every disease.
461. 39:11Don't believe that there's nothing that's incurable. We can say that science is limited in treating
462. 39:17this disease, and doctors should admit that. We're limited in treating the disease permanently,
463. 39:22but it's not normal to say that there's nothing incurable, that high blood pressure and diabetes have
464. 39:27no cure. This is illogical because these diseases didn't exist before.
465. 39:31These diseases are new, resulting from poor dietary habits and the high stress levels
466. 39:36we live in. So know that every disease has a permanent cure. We can do without any medication
467. 39:42we take, but only with willpower and a healthy diet.
468. 39:45Yes, and I think Dr. Emad, this is mentioned in all medical books and references. The first step
469. 39:50in treatment is lifestyle modification—specifically,
470. 39:54changing one's lifestyle. This is something I find very strange: when someone
471. 39:58goes to a doctor and discovers they have high blood pressure, the doctor prescribes medication before implementing the protocol.
472. 40:03The protocol is lifestyle modification. So why don't we do this first, try it, and push
473. 40:09the patient and tell them... This is your path to recovery, and then I'll try the medication. But what am I doing? I'm
474. 40:15reassuring the patient by saying, "Take this pill, it will regulate your blood pressure," so I'm not changing anything
475. 40:19in my life. I'm telling them, "Take this pill, it will regulate your blood sugar," so I'm not changing anything in my life. They have to
476. 40:24change first; that's the basic principle: lifestyle modification. Then, I'll look for
477. 40:29medication. If I fail at that, where does the problem lie? Is it with the therapist or the patient? Because
478. 40:35, frankly, the therapist says they're already sick and don't want to change their lifestyle.
479. 40:39But ask them; maybe they want to change. That's exactly what I think. I see the problem as being in
480. 40:44the medical system. We've become too quick to take the easy way out. My time doesn't allow me to sit and explain to the patient that they
481. 40:49should adjust their diet or see a nutritionist or something, so I take the easy way out, prescribe medication, look at
482. 40:54the lab results, and say that these results are the indicator. But we have people who take...
483. 40:59His thyroid medication and test results are perfect, and he has all the symptoms of thyroid problems because he took the medication but didn't change
484. 41:05his lifestyle. So the problem persists. I believe the first step is
485. 41:11for the therapist himself to guide the patient, instill this belief in him, and give him the faith that he will stop taking the medication. Because if I
486. 41:18told you that you'll be on medication for life, why would you modify your lifestyle?
487. 41:22I'll be on the medication anyway, and I'll be a prisoner of the medication. Why should I torture myself
488. 41:25and deprive myself of food? But when you give him hope, his life will truly change.
489. 41:28Dr. Emad, you're a gem! We benefited greatly from this episode, and of course, the viewers
490. 41:34and followers who have reached this point have certainly benefited a lot. All you have to
491. 41:39do is follow Dr. Emad's accounts, which I've put in the description box and the first comment. Thank you very much
492. 41:45.
