Increase Free T3 Without Medication
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- T3 is the strongest thyroid hormone in the body and the hormone that you should be most concerned about if you are interested in having more energy, having a normal metabolism, and having a lean physique.
It's also just so happens to be the most important measure of thyroid function in patients with thyroid disease.
And it's for this reason that I want to talk about how you can get more of this important hormone, the all-natural way:
1. Take zinc and selenium
Both zinc and selenium act as cofactors for the enzymes that help your body convert T4 into T3.
Get my recommended T4 to T3 conversion booster supplement with zinc and selenium in the right forms and doses here: www.restartmed...
2. Improve your gut health
Approximately 20% of all T3 is converted in the gut and the bacteria here also help recycle T3 for the entire body.
3. Lower reverse T3 levels
High reverse T3 means low free T3. If you lower reverse T3 you will automatically increase free T3.
4. Check and optimize liver health
60% of T3 is converted and created in the liver making it the most important organ for T3 function.
5. Check your iron and ferritin
Low iron means low T4 and T3. Check and replace if needed.
6. Take an adaptogen
Stress is a killer of T3 but adaptogens can help your body manage and tolerate stress.
7. Take iodine
Iodine is essential for creating T3, if you don't have enough then both T4 and T3 will be impaired.
If all else fails and you've tried everything on this list then your next step is to give T3-only thyroid medication a try.

I love it when you talk about the natural ways to treat thyroid !
If supplementing with zinc, you must have copper too!
Why he didn’t mention this is baffling!
Thank you
Yes ratio of 8 to 1 (7.5 to 1 actually) of zinc to copper
Because of the ratio of 8:1 as the other commenter mentioned, you would most likely only need to bump-up your zinc, as you only need a tiny amount of copper by comparison, and are probably already getting enough.
@kitkat not only we must ensure we take copper but also we don't take zinc and copper at the same time as they compete for receptors receiving it. Highly recommend book by Dr. Morley M. Robbins "Cure: your fatique." Supplementing copper finally solved my so called iron deficiency which I never had; it was all along COPPER DIEFICIENCY.
I am hypothyroid. I take selenium and zinc and I rub castor oil over the thyroid on my neck. The castor oil stimulates blood flow I never have cold hands and feet anymore. Actually I feel the heat easily I’m going for blood work to check my TSH. My dr may reduce my levothyroxine. Wish he would just prescribe me NDT but nope. No money in it
What is NDT?
@@dupelawal-ijaiya4020 hi, Natural dessicated thyroid It’s like Erfa in Canada and Armour in the US. Basically T3 and it works really well. I was on it and my dr retired and my dr now says no! Final. So I’m stuck on levothyroxine. Cytomel is T3 as well if you can get it. I supplement a lot
@@dupelawal-ijaiya4020
Natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) is the treatment that used to be given before levothyroxine came onto the market. It comes from pigs’ glands and contains both thyroxine (T4) and tri-iodothyronine (T3), although it has more T3 than the human thyroid produces.
Natural dedicated pig thyroid
Find a new doctor..mine put me on NP thyroid meds and now t3 too
Ever since you told me to take my medicine at night on an empty stomach. My thyroid went back to normal numbers. Ty so much.
What a blessing seeing this pop on my feed! I have been tested and my free T3 is not high enough but my PCP dr said there is nothing to be done about it. I do take Synthroid for T4, but my body makes it and I don’t know why they cannot give me the T3 that is needed. So I have been forced to take matters into my own hands. Doing research right now. Thanks for this video!❤
Take Armour thyroid instead of synthroid! Its a dedicated pig thyroid that naturally has t3 and t4
@@ccpumpkin5426 thanks for your advice!
I love your channel! I am researching so much to cure my Hashimotos, as functional doctors are not available in my area. Such a shame, this is how everyone deserves to be treated, with a holistic approach.
Thank you for such an informative video! My dr doesn’t explain any of this!
Same here.
I read that taking Moringa interferes with thyroid meds in converting from t4 or t3. I was wondering if anyone knows if it would affect the meds if I only take one capsule a day or about a 1/2 of teaspoon, or if I should avoid all together. Thanks.
You really need to be careful with some adaptogens, mushroom supplements etc. I know my thyroid nodule is from taking those!!! They can rev up your immune system, from my experience.
I have read that for people with hypothyroidism, the optimal range for ferritin is between 100ng/mL and 150ng/mL. 40 to 60 seems low.
i was also confused hearing these ranges, because I am currently taking iron in order to increase it at least till 100
I tried to crack a Brazil Nut out of its shell and neither could a squirrel LOL. I use Pure Bulk brand selenium $25.50 for 300ct gel cap.
Does that help for inflammation?
By the Trader Joe's already peeled. If you have a nutcracker there's a way to open them easily. I grew up on them with the shell.
@@LoriMorse-p1x Make sure when you buy selenium that it doesn't have the filler magnesium stearate.
@@LoriMorse-p1x I bought Healthy Origins brand selenium because it doesn't contain fillers.
200 mcgs 180 count under $15.00 bucks. That's a 6 month supply.
So let me say I love your channel Dr Childs and love listening to your advice about thyroids so I had stage 3 thyroid cancer so I had a total thyroidectomy I don't have a thyroid at all will this work for me as well
You ARE an American Doctor!!! Thank you very much for all you give to us 🙏🏻
I have Hashimoto diagnosed since 5 years and I just recently discovered that my ferritine levels are so low (10). I have prescribed Fe supplements now, but what is perplexing that no doctor ever correlated my overall organ health with Hashimoto. Holistic medicine is what we desperately need! Thank you for your channel, it provide so many useful and helpful information.
An Urgent Care Dr. gave me a 1 year prescription for Levothyroxine a year ago. Now, my Primary Care Dr. refused to renew my prescription. Bummer. So, I'm taking notes and plan to use these methods to increase my free T3 level. I'll apply this information starting today. Thanks.
One thousand LIKES!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What if you’re overactive ?
Thank you for this timely advice. I have noticed an improvement in thyroid function since improving my diet and taking regular supplements.
What supplements , 2:25
@@Mystomach Calcium, seleium, zinc.
I am so confused about iodine. I waffle between avoiding all iodine (as recommended by Dr. Alan Christianson) and taking the 150 to 300 mcg/ day as recommended by Dr. Childs. does anyone have any thoughts or experience with the iodine issue? Thanks!!!
Why does he tell you to avoid Iodine?
I started taking iodine (just 2 drops of Lugol’s) several times a week and 2-3 Brazil nuts daily and I’ve seen such an improvement in how I feel and how I’m less stressed. My husband has noted the same.
Both my mom and grandma were hypothyroid and iodine drops have helped tremendously after my grandma would end up in the hospital several times because of how severe her illness was in her youth, and she never took any additional meds since.
We need iodine but our body does not produce it.
I’m fact you can do a simple test. Dip a cotton swab into some iodine and draw a bit on the inner arm. If the mark disappears within an hour then you’re deficient, and if it stays for 5 or more hrs then you’re not deficient in it.
@@allison471 Studies show that keeping iodine intake at a lower level (50-100 mcgs/ day) reverses thyroid disease. We can all get this small amount of iodine in our food. Too much iodine creates thyroid disease according to many studies.
You can take more than that. You just pee out the excess.
Thankyou for your advice as always.
Thankyou for your advice as always.
9:35 I've always heard that ferritin should be at least over 70 so that hair doesn't start falling out and everything doesn't break
It turns out that I should stop at 60, although reference values reach 150-200? Why?
anything for hyperthyroid & nodules.. ❓❓❓❓🙏in advance...
For those with low iron/ferritin, thyroid functions best with a ferritin of at least 90. I had no idea about this and hope you get that tested! The lowest my ferritin was a 4! No wonder my thyroid hasn’t been in normal range for years.
Any tips on those without a thyroid and what we can use without being medicated. However, I'm using Armour Thyroid I was introduced to and no other options were made to me other than synthetics from Big Pharma. I'm very happy I'm on something that's not synthetic. Unsure if I can go without Rx assistance. Thank you in advance.
I have all the hypo symptoms. Blood tests show my pituitary gland is not working well. Any advice? Dr just put me on levothyroxine.
Fixed mine with Keto and kelp and zinc supplements
I started experiencing hair loss around my hairline just weeks after getting the Covid vaccine. Some strands of hair also have a beaded appearance (meaning if you run your finger over it feels bumpy). I feel like it's potentially done some damage to the hair follicles around my hairline. I also went to a naturopath who realized my ferritin was low (which I never had a problem with). Im also now on 30mg of dissicated thyroid that seems to have created more hair loss in addition to the original problem. Not sure which treatment makes the most sense for me to help me regrow my hair. Any suggestions?
*By being bumpy I mean thickness varies along the hair stand
Suppl E ments not suppl I ments....At 4:15 minutes....
Great info!!! Thanks!!!
The video images are odd looking.
Thank you for all your knowledge 😊
why not zincbyglycinate ?
Can kelp tablets help - iodine
Thank you ❤
Like natural way skillz not pillz 👍 Thank you for sharing ✌🏽💖🤟🏼✨️🧚♂️
Thanks ❤❤❤❤
Why not Just take t3. I have been taking extra t3 for years through my naturopath.
Dr. Childs, don't get me wrong but the word Supplements is spelled wrong in your video :)
