Is it possible to lower TPO antibodies if you have Hashimoto's thyroiditis? The answer is yes, but it's not guaranteed. We will talk more about that in just a minute but for now I want you to keep the following in mind:

1. The treatments we are going to discuss work for more than just TPO antibodies. They will also be beneficial for those with thyroglobulin antibodies and even TSI antibodies in Graves' disease. This is because antibodies stem from immune dysfunction and many of these treatments balance the immune system.

2. Just because these treatments have been shown to help others doesn't mean they will automatically work for you. It will take some trial and error to figure out what works best for your body.

3. Even though antibodies are never normal and your goal should be to get your antibodies as close to zero as possible, don't stress if you can't get there.

With this in mind, here are 6 treatments that are effective at lowering thyroid antibodies:

1. Nigella sativa. This is the plant that produces black seeds which are then used to create black seed oil. This plant has been shown to have a pro-thyroid effect, a thyroid antibody-lowering effect, and a benefit to fat mass.

2. LDN or low-dose naltrexone. LDN is used off-label to treat inflammatory conditions and is effective for about 50% of people who use it.

3. Diet. Many diets are effective but some of my favorites include gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and whole30.

4. Vitamin D. Taking vitamin D by itself won't be enough to lower your thyroid antibodies but it can help when it's part of a complete treatment regimen. Use it in conjunction with the other treatments listed here.

5. Selenium. Selenium helps protect your thyroid gland from inflammation and is great for those with Hashimoto's if they are selenium deficient.

6. Testosterone, androgens, or DHEA. Androgens are a "secret" treatment that can help balance the immune system. Women can use low dose testosterone replacement therapy if their testosterone is low.
