I took Zinc 125 mg while I had COVID-19 and my thyroid levels were normal! I have hypothyroidism and my levels were surprisingly much better than ever. Thank you 🙏🏻
I really wish I could see you as a patient. My doctor wasnt on board with me lowering my dose. Nor was she willing to,give me a prescription for 6 months for my naturethroid. I explained to her multi times my insurance did not pay for any natural thyroid medication. Finally after 1 1/2 years she grudgingly gave me a prescription. So, i decided Id take this opportunity to get off the naturethroid. October 8th is my 3rd month being off the meds. Im doing great and feel Im on,the right track. I am adjusting my supplement and amino acids. I feel fantastic compared to what I had been feeling just on naturethroid. I just wish my doctor would be on board with me. So im looking at my new primary care to have a visit with him. He is inmhis thirties and more with the new changes. Hopefully he doesnt rely solely on test results. I have reccomended you to other ladies. Yoou are the first doctor that Ive found that displays the desire to inform and help people. You are in a very narrow number,of doctors that have the knowledge and intuition on treatment. Thank you so much.
Thank you Dr Childs. I have two questions: 1) Since I start taking t3 conversion booster for 3 months now, my hypothyroid level ( TSH) has improved even though I have reduced my synthroid intake for only 5 days a week and I am planning to go lower as longer as I am feeling good 2) Is it true that oratate lithium supplementation is bad for hypothyroid patients? Again May God continues to give you more knowledge.
I'm not sure I understand the first question but glad you are feeling better! In regards to the second, it's possible that high doses of lithium can cause thyroid problems.
@@drwestinchilds I reduced the days I take my synthroid to 5 days and yet I feel better than I have ever been. It is so confusing to me. I am guessing t3 conversion booster is helping my body to make thyroid naturally. Do you think it is possible?
Dr. Westin, I am Hypo and just started taking both your T3 Conversion, and Thyroid Adrenal Reset...do I need to take an additional Zinc and Selenium supplement? I also am taking 4 drops of J. Crows, Lugol's Iodine, but I see your supplement also has Iodine. Thank you for your RUclips channel...I've learned so much valuable info!
You don't need to take additional zinc and iodine and selenium if you are taking t3 conversion booster. The whole point of the supplement is to give your body what it needs daily. I take it and I am on cloud now 😆
@@DarkAngel-cj6sx I'm not overweight at all, just a big decline in my energy, since becoming Hypo. I've been keto for 2 years...Low Carb is the only way to go!😉
I had exactly the same problem! Very low TSH and low t4 and t3. Zinc is definitely one supplement i felt like i have taken a steroid. It was that effective in my case! You are genius doctor! Doc, is vitamin D necessary for thyroid also?
What level should you have in Zink? I have been on Synthroid medicine for many many years. I feel exhausted all the time. I always ask my Dr.what is the sense of Synthroid. My meds have changed so many times. The Dr. says there are lots of people like me but never truly get an answer that satisfies me.
Hello doc. Is it ok if I'm taking a complete multivitamin like A-Zinc & also taking anti thyroid medication?do you think thats good for me..☺️ thanks you
I have zinc 50 mg and my t3 is very low I have hypothyroidism and my iron level is very low how can I boost it up I just started taking zinc and that's the one I take and I'm going to take them on top of them
Can you post a checklist to discuss with doc(GP) for hashimotos supplements, lab tests, and deep dive questions? I’m requesting t3 and t4 separate meds to replace levothyroxine synthroid. (Appt. Oct 18th) diagnosed in 2006
I’m on levothyroxin as well. Are you going to try cytomel. It’s straight T3. My dr refused to let me try it. I’ve heard nothing but positive results from cytomel. I also did well on desiccated thyroid … I was prescribed that by an MD who specialized in naturopathic medicine but he’s not around any more. I find getting thyroid help difficult
@@AP-nx6xo I hope this new doc works with me. There is an endo in Dublin CA, if you’re near there I’ll send you the name. I will try an appointment with her if my GP is not comfortable with my request. I downloaded the entire hashimotos screening that Dr Child’s offer from his side bar. I’m going to copy the name of the other medication you included. I’m also going to see if there is a naturopathic doc near me. What a goat rope rodeo this is to get the proper care. Good luck to you and thank you for reaching out!!
@@Fiawordweaver well I’m a little North of California lol. I’m in northern Canada 🇨🇦 I’m going to try my best to get help here and get back on cytomel. I hear the USA 🇺🇸 has great doctors. I wish the best for both of us 🇺🇸🇨🇦
My Dr has put me on a Cornerstone wellness diet. I have Hashimotos from eight years. Last two yrs have been worse for my weight loss. Please recommend what supplements I should take. Also I am trying to high protein and very low carbs. I am not hungry mostly but do crave for snacks which was a bad habit I had before. Should I take selenium, zinc, magnesium, b12 and vitamin d. What else please guide thanks. Also I have been unable to lose a single pound since controlling my diet😔😔
I take my levothyroxine at night on a complete empty stomach with a glass of water. I’m on the same supplements as you. I’m losing weight slowly I don’t eat sugar or bread All the best 🇨🇦
I currently take 7mcg t3 11mcg t4. i weaned down over last 2 yrs. Was on it 14 yrs. I feel fine & bloodwork fine. however I cant get off it!
