    I am in a quandry on one thing on the brain health. You recommend taking alpha lipoic acid- but I have seen articles on how this supplement interfers with the conversion of T4 to T3. Are these articles missing something? I would love to take alpha lipoic acid- but afraid of this conversion stuff. Would like to hear your uptake on this.

  • Angela:

    I’d like to hear the take on the alpha liporic acid too?.. I was told to take it by my biochemist for some problems I’m having with chronic inflammation, hashis and now I’m pre diabetic… I can’t tolerate any thyroid meds.. and I’m on 1/3 of what I probably should be on of Synthroid.. any higher I get heart issues.. would the alpha liporic acid help the sugar issues but hurt my thyroid more???

  • What a great website! I will be looking forward to more posts. It’s good to see more mention for grain-free diets. The SCD has worked miracles for my son’s autism and my autoimmune issues, gluten-free just didn’t cut the mustard, even though we both have severe gluten issues.

  • Sarah:

    Hey Tracee,

    Just curious what SCD stands for? Glad to hear that has worked so well for you.

  • Sarah:
    SCD stands for specific carbohydrate diet.
