Maca root powder helped to bring down my thyroid medicine to now 25 mcg i take. I took it for one year and it had such positive effect on my overall mood, fatigueness .
I love raw garlic...if u crush it, and then leave it out in open air for 10 mins or so, it increases the beneficial compounds ,by alot. If u want to use it medicinally..that is the best way, ...if u dont like the taste..mix it with olive oil, and just wash it down with water, without chewing. Or have it with toast.
I have been watching your videos off late and I love how your advice focuses on natural remedies and supplements than medicating through artificial sources. Thank you!
Wow the maca root as an Adaptionen and the benefits is staggering..trying to grow holy basil for us here in the garden but the Deep South isn’t the best area to get this started lol…soooo much great information packed in this video..garlic onions daily …thank you once again doc…
I'm wondering the same. You commented here 9 months ago. What have you discovered? My Dr told me I'll need thyroid replacement medicine but, I'd rather do it with a better diet. Thanks in advance! JC
Thanks Dr. Child's for this informative video. My PCP just told my that I have hyper thyroid also, I am diabetic. I a not a believer in synthetic medicine. Although, at times it's necessary. My problem is putting all this information together so that I don't OD myself and make matters worse.
Love your videos! When you’re talking about superfoods and supplements, can you spell them (or list) on screen? It would be helpful!!! Thanks for all you do!!❤

A note on Maca: Red for women Black for men Yellow is neutral I used to work for a company that sold Maca root supplements. You can take any color regardless of your sex but the color key above is what was recommended for the most benefit in regard to sex hormones.
Thankyou so much doctor. Can you please tell us what’s the issue with cruciferous veggies 🥦 🥗 I am so confused I have heard pros and cons for this food group and I don’t know what to do because I’m not really a massive meat eater but I love my veggies. I’m frozen stage rn. 🙁
I thought maca was yucca! 😂😂😂but yucca is gluten free and I love it! I hope it is good for me 😮how do u know your powder maca is good quality? No filters etc, do you have a favorite brand of organic maca that you trust?
Hi Dr Childs. Have found your sessions very informative. However, I am hearing impaired and would be grateful if you could support your presentation with on screen dot points. Very grateful to you for explaining so many aspects of thyroid problems. Mine has shrivelled up and stopped working. Also have a multinodule goitre. Grateful if you could advise what happens to the goitre now my thyroid is so tiny. Many thanks.
I have had thyroid removed due to thyroid cancer. Stage one. What supplements should I take? My primary Dr isn’t very helpful in this. They will only support the use of synthroid. Please help. I can’t lose weight always very tired. Can’t sleep. Muscle aches. Etc. thank you.
Thank you so much for all your educational videos. It has helped me a lot. One bit of feedback I have is that your mic quality is bad and hard to listen to because it’s scratchy and tinny. If I were you it would be my priority to upgrade it. Just my opinion. Thanks again for taking the time to film these mini-lectures and share them online.
Thank you so much Dr. Westin for your information. I am so blessed to come across your videos. I have suffered from Low Thyroid for a long period but no doctor has ever suggested of changing my diet...vitamins etc. God bless you
Westin, slow down! You sound like you had ten cups of coffee today😹. A lot of great info, as always!! Most surprised at how much selenium is in Brazil nuts. I’m going to have to watch that.
Eliminating meat and dairy and gluten has really helped my gut feel better. When I take my Armour thyroid pill it feels more like I have taken a sedative which lowers my motivation so I have just started taking pituitary glandular which makes me feel so much better. Can I also add adrenal glandular to this?
Armour gave me a heart murmur and dangerous extremely high BP problem. I had normal to low BP all my life before that garbage. Dessicated pig thyroid has NO business being prescribed to humans. Plus it made all the other side effects like pouring sweat & hair loss even worse!! Didn't know that was even possible. After 7 yrs & 3 endos using me as a lab experiment, I was finally put on SYNTHROID BRAND. Like I begged for in the first place!! I got my life back!! NO binders & fillers, NO roller coaster ride every month. Stable labs. NO taking anti sweat medication. Wicked migraines. And all the rest. YES I pay a higher co pay bcuz it's brand, I don't care!! It's worth every penny just like my Premarin is. NO more suffering in those 2 things for me anymore.
Pinkie, how are you do'n... a few Q's...How much armour thyroid were take'n.... Did you have thyroiditis the antibodies one? It Makes such a diff... Oh and how long were you on meds before you decided to go this approach, does your blood work show an improvement? What actual diet changes did you follow! Hope you're get'n good results!
Hi Dr. Westin, my question is if I can drink decaffeinated coffee? I read that it has only 3% of caffeine only. I’m a coffee drinker and has been very hard for me to not drink any. Thank you, Almendra O.
I just started watching these videos and sadly realized what caused my hair loss 6 months ago .... Taking too much selenium tincture with iodine. I lost about 60% of my hair. 😭
I love hearing all of this. Recently diagnosed with Hasimotos and for the past few years without knowing why, my body actually craves many of the foods listed here. The maca root makes a huge difference for me with mood and fatigue. Blueberries are a must! I am grateful for you sharing your knowledge and empowering those with thyroid issues.
You are supposed to avoid caffeine but it's hard for me 😢. I've been trying the mushroom type coffee. It has effects like coffee but very little caffeine
No caffeine for thyroid .. learned the hard way when I tried green tea ( it’s has triple the amount of caffeine than regular coffee) and ended up in the hospital .. thyroid levels were though the roof ! .. only decaf coffee for me, peppermint or raspberry tea is good too
@@StepuptothatMake sure you’re tested for fungi allergies before consuming cups of brewed fungus as a coffee alternative. Over exposing yourself if you have a mild issue can develop into a very serious allergy that puts you in the hospital.
My Pcp just told me that I have thyroid also diabetic. Wrote me prescriptions and sent me on my way. He prescribed SYNTHROID and RYBELSUS. I don't want to take them, because I am afraid of the affect they might have on my other organs. What would your recommendation at a doctor be? I am also taking OLMESARTAN/HYDR
Thank you so much, this has been helpful! My T3 is low but my T4 and TSH are normal.. I don't know where to begin actually.. But diet sounds practical and least scary..
this is Great information DR. Westin thank you for sharing this.... my Doctor just wants to prescribe medicaton only . I ask what else can be done and get no helpful anwers . thank you so much .

Is there a difference between hashimot s nd graves disease....... ND hw can u help th body get rid of lead... As I was diagnoose with graves disease nd was given a green radioactive capsule in 1998
I actually have Hashimoto's hyperthyroidism. This is not something you have addressed in your videos so far. It's either Graves hyperthyroidism or Hashimoto's hypothyroidism. I would love some direction how to treat Hashimoto's hyperthyroidism naturally. Thank you.
I am a hypothyroid person for more than 20 years now and have been taking levotyroxine for that amount of time. Is it worth it to take those superfoods? I mean can my thyroid still respond to it?
My doctor has never given me any Guidance as to food or nutrition. I am Celiac and probably have Hashimotos as well. Never did any tests to see what my levels are. Could this be an insurance issue? I have Medicare and Medicaid.
If your Thyroid slowsdown do to heavy metals in the body. I heard that 3 to 5 Brazil nuts, I'm taking 5 raw a day for several months with no results, I'm to heavy to do the thyroid exercise, will the cup of Bluebrries, Maca Root, and Coconut in a smoothie every day work as fast as the thyroid exercise?
Thank you Dr Childs this is indeed very helpful My question is it is OK to take iodine rich food if you have hyperthyroidism? Thank you and God bless you
No you will need medicine for life. These only help thyroid not replace the function of thyroid meds. I’ve been listening to a lot of different doctors about this because they are wanting to take mine out. So I’m trying to understand life style changes or both sides. And thats definitely a con on the removal- life time meds- however if it’s cancer then it’s got to go also. I must say I feel better reading through comments I thought I was just lazy and had some unfixable depression and getting older loosing my focus and mental drive. Everything I’ve been experiencing has been linked to this now and it was only diagnosed after getting my eye removed suddenly for an ocular melanoma cancer tumor that was malignant. They never thought to test thyroid levels or iron levels just prescribed more higher doses of depression meds and I quit taking them all through the surgery and healing process. Now to get my diet worked out to get my blood and thyroid and entire body back together. Blessings for all living with these type of diseases✨💖🙏🏼💖✨
1) Blueberries
2) Seaweed
3) Maca root
4) Brazil nuts
5) Coconut oil
6) Garlic
7) Mussels

No.

Hey Doctor I just want to say I love you brother. Thank you for this information. I have hypothyroid problems bad
Thank you for this great advice Doctor.

Great video please keep these videos coming they are very Informative.
Hi Doc now what about hyperthyroidism, graves .What will be the best diet.
What if you don’t have a thyroid? Can these foods help lower the synthroid dose or help it work better?
Thanks Dr. Child's for this informative video. My PCP just told my that I have hyper thyroid also, I am diabetic. I a not a believer in synthetic medicine. Although, at times it's necessary. My problem is putting all this information together so that I don't OD myself and make matters worse.
Where do you find maca root?
What brand of supplements do you recommend.
We have colloid Silver, Zinc,Copper, Magnesium. It works very well for us I make up a week or two when running out. It's very good.

A note on Maca:
Red for women
Black for men
Yellow is neutral
I used to work for a company that sold Maca root supplements. You can take any color regardless of your sex but the color key above is what was recommended for the most benefit in regard to sex hormones.

I would like Dr. Westin Childs to address the consideration of the Randle cycle?

My diet was not helping me.
Does one have to have all the symptoms at one time?

What do you do when you have Hashimoto's and your thyroid has atrophied down to a small child's size?
I have 4 nodules in the thyroid glands and they are from 4 - 9 cm. The biopsy came back benign. Is there a treatment without surgery?.
I think he is not a doctor, he just copies some real doctor's information.
It is an excellent start. You made it clear that there s superfood. 👏👍
Agar-agar is made from seaweed. Will they be acceptable?

Thank you.
I have bounced around so much looking for a solution - thank you for your work. I hope this one that works, hugs and tears.
Westin, slow down! You sound like you had ten cups of coffee today😹. A lot of great info, as always!!
Most surprised at how much selenium is in Brazil nuts. I’m going to have to watch that.
It's funny you say to slow down because I watch his videos at 1.25x the speed because it helps me absorb the info better. My brain is weird...

Thank you about the selenium dosage 🤙🤙🤙💜
If your Thyroid slowsdown do to heavy metals in the body.

You absolutely need a balanced better diet.... Yours sounds like it's off the trolley!
I think you should do the exercises every day no matter what you eat.
I understood that:
I asked my doctor and got an ok for,
Blueberries
Seaweed
Maca root
Brazil nuts
Coconut oil
Garlic
Mussels
Selenium
Spirulina
How are you do'n with All that now.... Has it helped?
I thot all Dr's say no to natural food
Thank you Dr Childs this is indeed very helpful
My question is it is OK to take iodine rich food if you have hyperthyroidism?
Thank you and God bless you
control you iodine intake.. it will hyper you more..
Ya, it's essential element if you were reading the info in the transcript!
Seaweed's Iodine content does not make up for the negative health issues caused by all the oxalates and antinutrients.??
I take levothyroxine should I began to cut my doses back if I am incorporating these foods in my daily diet?
What about taking seaweed and eltroxin medication?
Great info👏👏👏👏
my doctor said maca root and ashwaganda should not be used if you have a thyroid disease
If you take thyroid med's is it safe to take iodine?

Can You say something about hypotyroidism and the reason for developing white spots on skin. And vitilgo .
Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease that tends to be associated with Hashimoto's (but not always) that causes depigmentation (white spots) on the skin.
