Everyone knows eating too much sugar can be damaging to your body, but did you know it can also be damaging to your thyroid? 

If weight loss and better overall health weren’t enough to convince you to give up sugar then maybe these 5 thyroid-related benefits will be. 

Here’s what happens to your thyroid when you give up sugar: 

1. Your thyroid hormones will be more balanced. 
Reducing inflammation can help your body convert T4 into T3 thereby increasing thyroid function. 

2. It will be easier to lose weight. 
Cutting sugar will improve your thyroid which increases your metabolism but also positively effects insulin levels and muscle glycogen. 

3. Your skin will look better. 
Sugar accelerates aging by degrading the function of collagen and elastin. 

4. Your thyroid gland will be better able to protect itself. 
Sugar impacts your microbiome which disrupts immune function. The better your immune system works, the better your thyroid can protect itself against thyroid hormone-related oxidative damage. 

5. You will have more energy. 
Fatigue is a major symptom of hypothyroidism and it also happens to be common in those who consume sugar. The more sugar you eat, the more reliant you become on sugar as a source of energy instead of fat. This triggers constant food cravings. 

6. You’ll have more control over your appetite.
Both thyroid dysfunction and sugar consumption promote cravings for sugar which can be hard to control. Eliminating sugar from your diet reduces those cravings (though they do increase in the short term). 

Don’t confuse sugar for carbohydrates! Learn why I recommend that every thyroid patient consumes 100 grams of healthy whole-food carbohydrates each day: https://youtu.be/xmgvv8QL3XI?si=7srCYt2TyrOgAoMN

What Happens To Your Thyroid when You STOP Eating Sugar

Sugar alternatives are supposed to be safe and healthy low-calorie options that can be used in place of refined and processed sugar. 

Their great appeal is that they allow you to eat sweet things without gaining weight. But they don’t actually work as well as you might think. 

Before we get into that, though, here are the best natural sugar alternatives for patients with Hashimoto’s: 

1. Monk fruit
2. Allulose
3. Stevia
4. Sugar alcohols

But here’s why I don’t recommend them: 
1. They are all heavily processed.
2. They aren’t considered real food. 
3. They aren’t side effect-free. 
4. And they aren’t the miracle weight loss treatment you think they are. 

Instead, I recommend forgoing the natural options and using natural sweeteners like honey and maple syrup. 

If you aren’t willing to accept the calories associated with these sweeteners, they you shouldn’t eat their low-calorie alternatives because it will just make you crave more sweets in the future.

Roughly 80% of hypothyroid or low thyroid patients say that they have trouble losing weight.

It’s for this reason, that they are often attracted to dangerous diets that promise rapid weight loss.

Unfortunately for them, instead of rapid weight loss, they are often met with thyroid damage, metabolic damage, and short-lived changes on the scale that revert back to normal the second they stop. 

Which is why today I’m going to talk about the most powerful weight loss treatments that exist for thyroid patients.

If you are looking to lose weight SAFELY while ensuring that your weight won’t just come right back on the second you stop, these are for you: 

1. Prolonged fasting (1-4 days)
Fasting is hands down the cheapest and most reliable way to lose weight. While it is a form of calorie restriction, it works better than daily calorie restriction for patients with thyroid dysfunction (see the video for more info as to why). 

2. Strategically decrease carbohydrate intake
Your thyroid needs carbohydrates, at least 100 grams per day, but you can strategically reduce your carb intake to push out water weight and nudge the scale downward. This is great if you need to rapidly lose some weight for something like a wedding. But given their importance for daily thyroid function, carb cycling works better than long-term low carb diets. 

3. Zone-2 training
Zone-2 training promote more fat burn than any other level of exercise and it’s perfect for thyroid patients because it’s lower in intensity than HIIT. This means better compliance, more fat loss, and less fatigue. 

4. T3 thyroid medication
T3 thyroid medication is by far the most powerful thyroid hormone available and it also happens to be the best for weight loss. The only problem? It’s hard to get. 
If you can’t get T3 then opt for T2 instead which is available over the counter and comes in cream and capsule form. 

5. GLP-1 agonists
I’m not a huge fan of GLP-1 agonists in general, but there’s no question that they do work and there may be a situation where using them makes sense. 

That said, given their significant side effect profile, they should be reserved for when all other treatments have failed! 

Don’t forget that a healthy diet is part of long-term weight loss and if you need help with that, check out this video: https://youtu.be/5seJiR5aCAM?si=P3UkDO9_2CaL8jaQ

You should eat low carb if you have a thyroid problem like hypothyroidism and want to lose weight, right? No!

Cutting your carbohydrates has been shown to REDUCE thyroid function by negatively impacting thyroid lab tests like free T3 and reverse T3. 

The change that we see in people who go low carb for long periods of time mimics the same thyroid lab tests we see in chronically ill patients and in those who starve themselves. 

In other words, if you want better thyroid function and better thyroid lab tests, you need to eat more carbs. 

This applies if you have hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s, and even if your thyroid has been removed. 

But how many carbs do you need? 

The answer? At least 100 grams per day. 

These carbs should be consumed as whole food sources, NOT processed foods like pastries, cookies, cakes, donuts, etc. 

And don’t be stingy on fruits or 100% fruit juice either as both of these are healthy options and will not cause weight gain. 

Don’t worry about carbs causing weight gain either, because that’s not the case (see the studies in the video for proof). 

Cutting your carbs is a big mistake that thyroid patients make when trying to lose weight and if you want to see the others then check out this video: https://youtu.be/vxtia4SlX7g?si=pSJD9niICtyVMk9y 

The 100-gram/day minimum even applies to those thyroid patients who have insulin resistance and the number only goes up from here depending on your activity level.

Eat MORE Carbs DAILY For Better Thyroid Health (Here’s How Much)

Is fruit juice worse than soda or is it actually healthy for your body and thyroid? I’m going to argue that every thyroid patient should drink it and here’s why: 

1. Drinking it does NOT cause weight gain. 
Study after study show that drinking more fruit juice is associated with a leaner BMI. 

2. Drinking it will NOT cause diabetes or insulin resistance. 
Meta-analyses show that 100% fruit juice consumption does NOT increase diabetes risk and has a neutral impact on blood sugar. 

3. Fruit juice may help reduce inflammation in your thyroid gland. 
The polyphenols in fruit juice can help protect your thyroid gland from oxidative damage. 

4. The carbs found within can help support thyroid function. 
Thyroid patients need carbohydrates for optimal thyroid function so you might as well get some of these carbs from fruit juice given their may benefits. 

5. Drinking it can improve your gut health. 
Gut function plays an important role in regulating thyroid health and drinking fruit juice can improve your gut. 

Which fruit juice should you drink? 

Drink only 100% fruit juice and avoid anything from concentrate or with added sugars. 

My three favorites for thyroid patients include: 

Orange juice, apple juice, and pomegranate juice but pretty much any fruit juice will provide benefit to your thyroid.

Drink Fruit Juice For Better Thyroid Health (Here’s Why)

Do hypothyroid support supplements work? Absolutely, but only if you use the right ones. 

In my opinion, and based on my experience, here are the ones hypothyroid patients should be using: 

1. Guggulsterone
Guggulsterone has been shown in animal studies to promote thyroid hormone creation and iodine uptake thereby supporting the thyroid gland. It also happens to help with symptoms associated with low thyroid like high cholesterol. 

2. T2 (3,5 diiodo-l-thyronine)
As the only thyroid hormone available over the counter, T2 is a must have for low thyroid patients. It performs its own functions while also supporting the action of T3. 

3. Rhodiola
Rhodiola is an adaptogenic herb that promotes energy and better cognition and is one of my favorite adaptogens for thyroid patients. 

4. Calcium D glucarate 
Calcium D glucarate promotes better liver health which, in turn, supports T4 to T3 conversion and the elimination of endocrine disrupting chemicals. 

5. L-tyrosine
L-tyrosine is needed to create thyroxine (T4 thyroid hormone) and several adrenal hormones. Because of its stimulating action, low doses are preferred. 

6. Inositol
This sugar-like compound promotes the action of TSH in the cells and, when combined with selenium, has a powerful impact on thyroid hormone lab tests as well as thyroid antibody levels.

These Hypothyroid Supplements Will Help You Feel Better

Today you will learn more about the connection between hypothyroidism and carpal tunnel syndrome. 

And if you are someone who has carpal tunnel syndrome then you will definitely want to check your thyroid because thyroid dysfunction is a potentially reversible cause of this condition. 

Carpal tunnel syndrome (referred to as CTS) is the most common nerve entrapment syndrome in the body and is something that up to 20% of thyroid patients suffer from. 

As an incredibly debilitating condition, it leads to discomfort, pain, and, if severe, insomnia thereby impacting many other systems in the body. 

Hypothyroid patients end up with CTS for 2 reasons: 

1. Because of the buildup of mucopolysaccharides in the wrist (which draw in water and result in edema). 

And 2. Due to weight gain which is the direct result of decreased thyroid function. 

The good news is that there are many ways to eliminate the symptoms associated with CTS but many of them may not be on the radar of your doctor. 

Here’s what works: 

1. Optimize thyroid function. 
2. Improve flexibility, mobility, and posture. 
3. Open up the tissues where impingement can occur. 
4. Prevent repetitive strain/stress injury & evaluate ergonomics.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? Check Your Thyroid

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)

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.
