Ep. 178: Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), Hashimoto's, Hypothyroidism, and Weight Loss

While it's not as well-known as the GLP-1 drugs for weight loss, there's a medication option we want to discuss in this episode. Specifically, we're taking a deep dive into the topic of low-dose naltrexone -- known as LDN -- for weight management and autoimmune conditions, especially Hashimoto's thyroiditis, the leading cause of hypothyroidism in the United States. We'll look at how this medication works, the potential benefits for thyroid patients, such as reducing inflammation and antibodies, dosages, side effects, and patient experiences.

You’ll also hear expert insights from Paloma Health on the history and practical use of LDN for thyroid and autoimmune disease and weight loss. We'll also explore remission in Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism, outlining various strategies to get there, including medication optimization, dietary changes like the gluten-free or AIP diets, supplements, and the use of LDN.

So, don’t miss a chance to dive into this important topic with expert insights and practical advice from Paloma Health!
