The BIGGEST Benefit of Taking T2 Thyroid Hormone
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2024
- T2 is one of my favorite thyroid hormones to take for thyroid patients for 2 very important reasons:
#1. It has benefits all on its own and has weak activity on the T3 receptor but in addition to this...
#2. It can help to stabilize T3 levels by putting upward pressure on the thyroid conversion pathway.
Taking T4 puts downward pressure on thyroid hormone conversion and taking T2 puts upward pressure on the same system and guess what's stuck in the middle? T3.
So taking T2 can actually help your T3 thyroid hormone levels.
And what's even better? T2 is available as an over-the-counter supplement whereas T3 and T4 require prescription medications to get.
T2 thyroid hormone is available as 3,5 diiodo-l-thyronine and can be taken in supplement form in conjunction with all thyroid medications including levothyroxine, synthroid, armour thyroid, np thyroid, and adthyza.

I’m taking 25mcg of Levo. I’m a newbie. Still going to sleep at 3. So I took one of the T2 and holy crappolos. The lights came on upstairs in 30 minutes. I could have run out the door and down the street. The instant energy was manic. Lawd have mercy. Liquid gold!!!! This stuff works 😻
I am truly so happy for you!
Omg I just love seeing these comments! So glad you feel better ❤
What we really need is to get back to All (As God intended) Organic Foods, No more GMO or other crap.
Very well explained. Thank you for slowing down and also for using visuals.
Thank you Dr Childs, I'm so grateful for the knowledge you put out in these videos. Our health care regarding thyroid here is minimal, I've learned it's absolutely necessary to advocate for ourselves. Looking forward to trying the supplement I've just ordered 😀
This is a very good video. Almost like deploying counter measures
You are amazing, thank you.
I have been taking thyroid medications for 30 years due to an enlarged thyroid. And over the past year I have been dealing with hypothyroid. I have increased my Armour thyroid and am taking it sublingually, but my labs currently show my T3 Uptake and Free Thyroxine Index are both below normal...all other levels are normal. I'm stumped!
Same here. I am wondering if it is not the formulation of the Armour Thyroid medication itself?🤔
How do I get T2
Thank you, Dr. Western Childs for doing what you do should be more doctors like you in uk. ❤❤❤
Hello Westin .. Can you take T2 along with T3 and get the energy, weight loss benefits etc that you mention rather than just T4&T2?? .. I wrote a very long winded reply to another video of yours and in that I explained that I heavily convert Levo to RT3 and therefore I also use T3 … Can adding T2 to my dose of 100mg Levo + 75mg T3 be beneficial for my Hashimoto’s and how absolutely disgusting it’s making me feel lately although my labs all sit nicely in range??
I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease back in 2003. Had radioactive iodine treatment soon after my diagnosis. I’m really not sure if this formula would be recommended for me however I still struggle with thyroid symptoms even though my levels are all within range. Don’t hurt to try:) thank you!
Can you make a video on Hashimoto or thyroid related to our triglycerides?
Hi, how do you calculate the correct dosage of T2?
Should I take T2 if I am currently taking a natural desiccated thyroid medicine?
Do you have any information on using rhybelsus whith hypothyroidism? Is it safe etc?
I am taking tirosint and SR T3 and am finally feeling more like myself. My hardest thing now is having pain and stiffness in the piriformis and the stiffness runs all the way down my legs. Worse in the morning after taking hormones. So it's difficult to exercise, walk etc. Would T2 help with that? Sometimes I already feel a little wired in the a m. I love your teaching ❤️
I don't know if you already saw it but just a few days ago Dr. Childs discussed taking our thyroid hormone at night. He said we could always go back to the morning if it didn't work. He explained how to do it.
How does T2 affect or influence the liver?
I have lower t3 than optimal, have been verygradually losing weight with calorie restriction, but only with prlonged fast does my set point go down. Just started a thyroid stack with t3, t2, tyrosine and kelp, and weight is dropping even tho appetite us returning! Will update in a month or so
Please just started levo 50 mcg in April and intially helped after a mth back at square one
How about NP Thyroid? My T-3is still only 2.5? Would this cream help me? Thank you
What if you are not taking T4?
What brand of T2 am I looking for. Is it in a Vitamin supplement. Not sure how it label, I been on synthroid 137 MCG for a long time approx 15-16 yrs now a lot of problems most of all loosing my hair. Plus other problems.
Use this or something very similar: www.restartmed.com/product/essential-t2/
I am taking 15mgs of NP. Can I take the T2 as well?
Where can you get t2?
I have Hashimotos and Graves. No doctor will give me synthroid or levo. Can I try taking the T2?
Can we take T2 if we don’t quite need T4 yet? My TSH runs around 1.7 (not optimal but WNL). Would T2 alone help bring my TSH down?
You can, yes. And it depends on the dose you are using. I wouldn't recommend using a high dose to drop your TSH.
I am not sure what is meant by "putting upwazdpressure on T3". What is the mechanism for T2 creating more T3? Has this been the subject of experimental testing in any way? Thank you.
No testing, it's just the reverse logic of what's being used when doctors recommend T4 treatment.
@@drwestinchildsI don't understand. If T2 converts to T1, how is it ALSo converting upward?
Yeah it doesn’t make sense
@@Intrepiddabblerhe means exogenous T2 prevents T3 to T2 conversion that may prevent low T3 levels
Hi, T2 is it available in France?
I don't find it
Hi, im taking armour thyroid 60mg and taking 50mcg of levo last year but recently my body changed and i feel like i have hyper for taking 50mcg so my dr change the dosage to 25mcg but still i feel the same so he changed it to 12.5mcg but i still feel not good so my dr told me to try t2. Do you think t2 will help me? At the moment i dont feel good, i feel nauseous and no energy and im losing weight
Ok so I am on synthroid and have no thyroid gland. Can I lower my synthroid and then add T2?
I want to switch from synthroid to tirosint, can I take the T2 supplement with it or do we still need to wait 3 hours?
I recommend taking it away but I've seen lots of people use my t2 supplement with other medications without issues thus far.
If I have great conversion of T4 fo T3 and optimal labs:
TSH: 0.01 (likes to suppress on NDT)
Free T4: 15
Free T3: 4.5-4.9
But issues with reverse T3: 19 (this was taken prior to going on thyroid hormone when I had first found out I have hypothyroidism - levels above 15 have been said to cause issues), would T2 help me?
When my thyroid is optimal, I feel great and do not feel as though I have symptoms. The thing is, I've never actually been here with my health before. I've never felt as if I've had enough thyroid hormone. Maybe I will see greater benefits from tweaking my medication.
How much more effective is 2 pill than 1 t2 pills?
Why not take T3 directly?
My FT3 is pretty constant at the 2.4-2.8 level no matter what dosage Synthroid I am on. In fact, I tried to increase and of course it gave my hyper symptoms (my thyroid was ablated with RAI). Anyway, I bought your T2 and am about to Strat experimenting with it. My question: if this is too much, will I develop hyper symptoms as If I were taking too much synthoid? Also, how will my labs reflect? increased FT3?
At doses less than 300mcg/day you should not experience hyperthyroid symptoms or changes in thyroid lab tests.
My free t3 is 3.8 and I still feel like crap. Tsh is 6.5 though. Wonder why my free t3 is so high yet tsh is not suppressed. My free T4 was decent as well
Any names of t2 supplement as I can't find anything online that ships to india
I am considering ordering your T2. I currently take 90mg of Armour. Does that already contain T2? I have researched but couldn't find a definitive answer.
Yes
It's such a shame in the uk you cannot get T2 anywhere which is awful because I have suffered with hypothyroid since the birth of my last daughter 34yrs ago . Always had weight problems since then up and down , nhs in uk are not very helpful with caring for thyroid patients most have to seek help with private doctors. Very rarely they perscripe T3 because of expense. I sorce my own T3 and now have a private doctor that specialises in thyroid. I will question him about this T2 as I definitely would like to try it . Out of 34 yrs of thyroid problems, only 3 years I felt so good and lost weight was on Ndt, which I sourced myself then came Lockdown could not get Ndt doctors over in uk will not perscripe it saying its unreliable and that is from endocrinologist not a gp. So basically, it's awful in the uk for thyroid patients.
We've shipped T2 to the UK many times without issue so far.
Can I take NP 60 and 100mcg of T2 together
Would T2 help get rT3 out since you said it converts into T2? Im on armour and was aboyt to look into switching to a T3 only med since i have a rT3 problem
Based on my experience, it doesn't seem to have a positive or negative impact on rt3. This data is still evolving, though, so we shall see.
Selinium will lower your rT3.
Can you take T3 with T2?
Taking t2 with 60mg of Armour for almost 4 weeks. Was sill fighting fatiuge. I increased t2 to 2bid 1am and 1 pm and felt fantastic. On the 3rd day, i had episodes of racing heart beat. So, i decreased t2 back to 1 and immediatly felt fatigue. Can i take t2 2x every other day?
Can I get your supplements in the UK? Xx thank you
Yep, we ship there all of the time. I believe the UK charges VAT taxes just as an FYI so I would check that prior to ordering.
@@drwestinchildsthat’s great! I have been wondering about this for the longest time.
Can you take T4, T3 and T2?
But, don't you sell T3?
Why I gained weight fast after starting to take T 2?
Just received T2 supplement from your brand. I’m taking Levo. Can I take the supplement at the same time or do I wait?
It says on the T2 bottle to wait 30-60 minutes either before or after taking your thyroid RX. I just received mine yesterday, along with a few other supplements (from him), took my Synthroid at 6:00am and took the T2 supplement a little after 7am. So far, so good. 😊
Hi, did you take it? Could you plz review?
Yes pls report
Where do you get T2 from in natural Supplement ?
You can find it here: www.restartmed.com/product/essential-t2/
I am taking NP, compounded T3 along with your T2. Will I be able to get off T3 as the T2 starts working?
It depends on how well your body converts but I would say probably not.
@@drwestinchilds I start month 2 tomorrow taking the T2 along with 4 of your other supplements.
How much synthroid vs t2. How do I titrate ?
u need to be responding to these patients on here they asking ur advice and u should be able to talk to them because as of right now its just 4 people who left comments come on man wakeup dont leave them hanging like that u never know what a person is going through
Wish I could answer them all but there are too many. I spend time everyday answering questions, though.
@@drwestinchilds that was my point it was just 4 thats why i said that but u still need to answer some u dont have to do all but u have to get at some these are the people who supporting you remember people make the world go round
@DeionHarris, this video is uploaden 12 hrs ago. Your respond is from 11 hrs ago, 1 hr after uploading. Give the man a break 😉

After giving birth, I had mild iodine deficiency, which led to one thyroid nodule, five fibroids, and breast fibrocysts. I took 5% Lugol's iodine for a year and applied it generously. All my symptoms disappeared. At the end of one year, I developed hard swellings in all the lymph nodes in my throat, and my salivary glands got infected. I can't even touch any iodine-related substance to my body anymore. Antibiotics didn't help either. I haven't taken any Lugol's iodine for 9 months now, and when I went for a check-up this month, I found out that I have 5 thyroid nodules on both sides that have grown rapidly. They weren't there in the previous check-up three months ago. My current TSH is 0.83, T3 is 2.39, and T4 is 1.06. Does this mean my T2 hormone has increased too much, and what do I need to balance it? Please, tell me what to do. I'm afraid of cancer and surgery!!
Call a doctor for pete's sake.
