A new study may have just changed how we think about two nutritional supplements that can benefit those with Graves’ disease.

A new 2025 study looked at the combination of L-carnitine and selenium alongside methimazole and the results were more encouraging than I expected. In this episode, I walk you through what the researchers found, including how this combo may help lower thyroid antibodies, improve symptom control, and even reduce the total amount of methimazole needed. I also share my clinical perspective when these nutrients might help, what dosages were studied, and why we still need to look beyond supplements to address deeper triggers like stress, gut health, and environmental toxins.

Tune in to learn what this new research could mean for your own healing path.
