@@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.
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.
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 have very low TT3 & FT3 … ( with low normal T4 & TSH). My endocrinologist (at a top 10 hospital in the world) said this is NOT causing my severe MECFS & a list of sudden debilitating issues that I’ve been dealing with since 2022. 😣 I’ve had DOZENS of tests and scans - and T3 was the only *abnormal result. I also had to beg for them to test T3 bc they only test TSH & kept saying my thyroid is normal . 😣 It’s been hell and I’m still homebound with no help -when I used to be completely normal
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.
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.

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!!!
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.
I have Hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s and now my liver is at cirrhosis and what can I do? I want to live. The hepatologist told me that autoimmune attacked my liver and it is the fatty liver. Do you have any suggestions?
Have a look at the @LTPottenger channel (Pottenger’s Human). He is very knowledgeable and explains how fasting the right way can heal many autoimmune illnesses. Remove grains, vegetable oil, sugar and reduce carbs. Eat more Beef. He explains it all. I wish you well and God bless.
I had 2 large nodules they wanted to biopsy and also 3 small ones. I found an iodine protocol online and did it for several months. 1 year later on a follow-up ultrasound my nodules were completely gone, and haven't returned in 8 years. *HOWEVER* during that iodine protocol I lost a lot of hair. it's not a miracle cure ... iodine is dangerous if not done carefully, but it did work for my nodules.
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?
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.
My doctor refuses to check my T3 levels because she says my hypothyroidism is due to my pituitary gland not functioning properly since I had a tumor removed and radiation therapy. What kind of doctor do I need for help? I’d appreciate any advice thank you. 🙏🏼
My ex had that before we met & the doctors killed his thyroid with radiation & put him on lifetime meds that without made him very mean. I pray you find healing.

Hi Dr. Childs, For someone who has had his/her thyroid removed and are taking Levothyroxathine 200 micrograms per day? Can these suggested supplements be taken? Weight gain, Chronic Fatigue, high stress and poor sleep? Thank you in advance for your comment/s.😊
He has a video on his channel whee he discusses what supplements to take to improve T4 to T3 conversion. What you're taking (Levo/synthroid) is just T4. First step is to try to increase your T3 levels *naturally* , then to be prescribed T3 (starting at low doses, say 5mcg and increasing over time if need be)
I knew someone who said it was discovered during their childhood that they were born with NO THYROID, so I don't know how well these tips would help those who were born with NO THYROID Had the person not been put on life-saving drugs to keep them alive, they might otherwise have likely died
How do I find a physician in my area that is knowledgeable and trustworthy with my chronic Lyme and Hashimoto’s . I was diagnosed w/ hypothyroidism when I was 14.. and I’m well, (over 45 now) my Lyme wasn’t discovered until I was 39. That Naturopathic physician back then told me if my primary care physician tested me for Lyme disease it very likely would come back negative . I am currently at a place that a need a good physician who can treat me and know what to test for or look for that my insurance too covers:/ :/
What if you have radioactive iodine done to you. That's what made me hypothyroid now I am having problems with my insurance company paying my doctor for my care. Because in January my doctor will not be in network with my healthcare plan. I have digestive problems. I had to have Gallbladder surgery because they couldn't save it. It was too inflammed then I had a lot of surgeries too many of them. Then I was diagnosed with diverticulitis and I had severe diarrhea.
Same, it's a nightmare trying to navigate thyroid! Especially with what supplements, other medications and then adding in an adoptogen. Something will make sense then it won't 🤯
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.

The video images are odd looking.
Thank you
Hi Dr. Childs, For someone who has had his/her thyroid removed and are taking Levothyroxathine 200 micrograms per day?
Can these suggested supplements be taken?
Weight gain, Chronic Fatigue, high stress and poor sleep?
Thank you in advance for your comment/s.😊
He has a video on his channel whee he discusses what supplements to take to improve T4 to T3 conversion. What you're taking (Levo/synthroid) is just T4. First step is to try to increase your T3 levels *naturally* , then to be prescribed T3 (starting at low doses, say 5mcg and increasing over time if need be)
What do u think of the medication, np thyroid, which i think its genetic of armour.
someone else mentioned You mentioned zinc picolinate as an option in a previous video, Why?
Is Iodine Iron??? I have heritary hemochromatosis...iron overload...i donate blood😮
Iodine is not iron.
what about selenolPrecise . It's a proprietary blend of several forms of selenium
Please answer. Is Zinc glycinate okay? You didn't list it.
I have hypothyroid and since about a year ago , my poos have been floaters (sorry 😊) ...is it linked to thyroid issues?
Thanks ❤❤❤❤
The provider prescribed 50mg of levo even when my thyroid shows normal range numbers. He said it is to give me energy. What say you?
doc, how about zinc picolinate for hypotyriod?
Yup.my T3 was low to normal
I was told that zinc picolinate is a preferred zinc. Is that true? I see it didn’t make your list.
it is still good
I knew someone who said it was discovered during their childhood that they were born with NO THYROID, so I don't know how well these tips would help those who were born with NO THYROID
Had the person not been put on life-saving drugs to keep them alive, they might otherwise have likely died
How do I find a physician in my area that is knowledgeable and trustworthy with my chronic Lyme and Hashimoto’s . I was diagnosed w/ hypothyroidism when I was 14.. and I’m well, (over 45 now) my Lyme wasn’t discovered until I was 39. That Naturopathic physician back then told me if my primary care physician tested me for Lyme disease it very likely would come back negative . I am currently at a place that a need a good physician who can treat me and know what to test for or look for that my insurance too covers:/ :/
My T3 level is 130 ng/dL, T4 level is 7.6 µg/dL, and TSH level is
Where do we get his menu of foods to eat? My TSH was over 100. What should I be doing to bring the TSH down?
Doc, what about vitamin copper?
I have all the hypo symptoms. Blood tests show my pituitary gland is not working well. Any advice? Dr just put me on levothyroxine.
What if you have radioactive iodine done to you. That's what made me hypothyroid now I am having problems with my insurance company paying my doctor for my care. Because in January my doctor will not be in network with my healthcare plan. I have digestive problems. I had to have Gallbladder surgery because they couldn't save it. It was too inflammed then I had a lot of surgeries too many of them. Then I was diagnosed with diverticulitis and I had severe diarrhea.
I have hyper thyroid. What should i take?
Cn you take iodine with hashimoto's?
Yes!
In small amounts! Be very careful as it stimulates antibodies!
Oh..not zinc picolinate then?
I have hashimoto does Iodine and Ashwaghanda is okay for me ?! I heard that i have to stay away from them
Same, it's a nightmare trying to navigate thyroid! Especially with what supplements, other medications and then adding in an adoptogen. Something will make sense then it won't 🤯
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 took moringa powder for a few weeks and my thyroid numbers jumped up by 4.5 points! I'd say avoid moringa for hypothyroidism!
For hypo wouldn't it be good for levels to go up a little?
How will this affect people with no thyroid gland is it still relevant?
If you are already on thyroid medicine for years can you get off of it.
I'm feeling very most Cold 🥶🥶🥶 this sign hypothyroidism
Can u guide my tsh was 11.53 and i am now sle autoimmune patient since i have my rafioactive therapy and since last one year i have started showing sle symtoms ans effected badly
Where can i find your diet plan? I got scared of taking supplements after thinking that they were making me sick but all along it was my thyroid meds ive tried them all and they all make me sick

@@drwestinchilds thank you and I've done low carb for a long time but it hasn't helped but with the thyroid meds my gut has always been messed up and I'm from Costa Rica I grew up eating very healthy and still cook like my grandma used to cook and I had carbs way before getting hypothyroidism what can it be causing my hypothyroidism?
These tips are great also gotu kola capsulesand triphala guggul by planet Ayurveda helps a lot.
What are optimal levels of t3?
My T3 & T4 are good but my TSH is high I’m confused why it high if the others are good
Again why give a dwarf wheat rx levothyroxine to a person who is autoimmune due to dwarf wheat and beet 9:53 sugar
What do you do if you have no thyroid
