Episode 109: Avoiding Job Scams

KSLV - Avoid (Fanmade)

There are plenty of foods that can improve the health of your thyroid but few are better than chia seeds. 

Chia seeds are filled with incredible ingredients in the form of healthy fat,, plant-based protein, nutrients, and other bioactive compounds. 

When you combine this with the fact that they are easy to consume and last a long time on your shelf, they are a powerhouse food for thyroid patients. 

Here are several reasons why I think thyroid patients should seriously consider eating chia seeds each day: 

#1. Help control your appetite and support a healthy weight. 
Because chia seeds expand when introduced to water, they can help you feel full longer. This makes chia seeds a great food if you are trying to lose weight. 

#2. Great source of omega-3 fatty acids.
Chia seeds contain a massive amount of omega 3 fatty acids, even more than fish. The key here is that the omega 3 fatty acids found in chia seeds are shorter chain compared to the longer chain DHA and EPA found in fish (so both are still necessary). 

#3. They are loaded with protein. 
For a plant, they contain a modest amount of protein per serving. You won’t be able to get your daily protein intake from chia seeds alone, but they can spruce up the protein content of other foods and dishes. 

#4. Highly nutritious and packed with vitamins and minerals. 
Compared to other foods, chia seeds boast an incredible nutrient profile that includes vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, proteins, and isoflavones. 

#5. Easy to incorporate into your diet. 
See a quick and easy recipe below! 

#6. Help Keep Your Cholesterol Level Normal.
Several studies have shown that eating chia seeds may promote healthy cholesterol levels: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37456479/ 

My favorite way to eat chia seeds is by putting them in my morning smoothie but you can also easily make a chia bowl. 

Here’s a quick and simple chia bowl recipe: 

3 tablespoons of chia seeds
¾ cup of non-dairy milk
1 teaspoon of honey (or your preferred sweetener)

I make things that can annoy your neighbours if you play them loud

Do you feel like your thyroid is taking over your life? Are you suffering from symptoms like weight gain, hair loss, fatigue, brain fog, or mood swings? If so, you aren’t alone. 

In fact, millions of other thyroid patients in the United States and around the world suffer from the same issues. And these issues persist even in the face of normal treatment with thyroid medication!

The question is: what can you do about it?

That’s exactly what this podcast is about.

I’m Dr. Westin Childs (D.O.) a former practicing osteopathic physician and my goal is to help thyroid patients get back to feeling 100%. 

Well, I actually have 2 goals:

#1. The first is to help 1 million thyroid patients directly or indirectly. 

And #2. To create the most comprehensive and helpful thyroid resource for thyroid patients on the internet. 

I know just how debilitating thyroid disease can be and I also know that it is possible to take control of your life. 

One of the biggest problems with thyroid management is that we just don’t talk about it enough. 

This podcast changes that. 

We are going to discuss all sorts of topics ranging from thyroid management, the use of less talked about thyroid medications, opinions on emerging treatments and therapies from leading experts, the use of natural therapies and how they fit into the conventional model, and so much more. 

If you want more information aside from the standard thyroid treatment of TSH and levothyroxine then this is the place for you. 

We won’t just stop at your thyroid, either. 

Other topics that are relevant and important to thyroid function will be discussed including things like hormone balance, menopause, testosterone replacement therapy, and weight loss therapies. 

If something helps you to better manage your thyroid, improve your symptoms, lose weight, or balance your hormones then it’s something I want to include. 

For more information on me and why I do what I do check out my website here: www.restartmed.com 

If you have any questions or have a topic you want me to discuss please shoot me an email on my website to submit a request in the "contact" section!
