Stop thyroid related food cravings

Tired of feeling tired? Think that an endocrinologist is a solution to your problem? Think again. 

While it may seem intuitive that an endocrinologist, someone who has spent extra time studying about the endocrine system, has more specialized knowledge compared to a primary care provider, you’d be wrong. 

Endocrinologists do not have the specialized knowledge you think they do and tend to treat every single thyroid patient the same. 

Here are 5 reasons you will probably get better success with other doctors (plus which ones to see instead): 

Reason 1. They won’t order the right tests. 

Reason 2. They all treat the same way. 

Reason 3. They don’t have the specialized knowledge you think they do. 

Reason 4. They are set in their ways. 

Reason 5. You won’t be able to convince them to change. 

Instead, here are the doctors that you will probably find better results with: 

- Doctors who specialize in functional medicine, anti-aging medicine, integrative medicine, natural medicine, and naturopaths. 

Don’t feel discouraged by this information either because there are things that you can do right now to improve your thyroid. Want to learn more? Check out this video next: https://youtu.be/MJH0NZtdKHY?si=rlcpIPwYPwDNIEum

DON’T See an Endocrinologist For Your Thyroid

If levothyroxine contains thyroid hormones and thyroid hormones control metabolism, shouldn’t taking levothyroxine help with weight loss? You would think so, but that’s not what happens in the real world. 

Instead, we have studies and anecdotal experience that show that patients taking levothyroxine experience no positive benefits to their weight. And worse than this, some actually experience weight GAIN. 

But how can this occur? 

It has everything to do with the type of thyroid hormone found in levothyroxine and what that thyroid hormone means for the body. Levothyroxine and Synthroid contain the thyroid hormone T4, which is inactive by itself. It’s not until the body converts it into the active thyroid hormone T3 that it becomes usable. 

In a perfect world, everyone would be able to convert this hormone readily but that’s not the world we live in. 

Which is why studies show that people who take other more active thyroid hormones do experience the weight loss you’d expect to see from levothyroxine (but don’t). 

This doesn’t mean levothyroxine is a bad medication, but it does mean that you shouldn’t rely on it to help with weight loss. But you can get where you need to be by using a combination of thyroid hormones including: 

T4, T3, and T2. 

Recommendations for each (which mimics the healthy production of the thyroid gland) include: 

80-100 mcg of T4 
5-20 mcg of T3
100-200 mcg of T2

This combination of thyroid hormones is much more powerful than just taking levothyroxine alone and can help you lose weight with minimal effort. 

If this is the first time you’re hearing about T2 then make sure to check out this video next: https://youtu.be/2cL641utwn4?si=CigxA1lu4JHgO-eo

This Thyroid Medication CAUSES Weight Gain

Statistically speaking, thyroid patients are more likely to be taking prescription medications for other problems like: 

- Depression
- Anxiety
- High blood pressure
- High blood sugar
- Weight gain
- And more

This is a problem by itself, but there’s an even bigger one: 

The prescription medications used to treat these very conditions can actually make your thyroid even worse. 

So in a real sense, you may be taking medications for symptoms caused by your thyroid that circle back to make your thyroid function (and those very symptoms) even worse. 

Here’s a list of medications that do this and what to do if you are taking any: 

Category 1. Medications that block T4 to T3 conversion. 

Category 2. Medications that block TSH production. 

Category 3. Medications that block thyroid hormone production from the thyroid gland. 

Category 4. Medications that block thyroid medication absorption. 

Don’t want to deal with these issues? Your thyroid is very responsive to lifestyle changes and making these changes can improve your thyroid and help you get off these medications for good.

These Rx Medications Can DAMAGE Your Thyroid

I am so excited to bring you my friend and colleague Paul Robinson in this podcast episode to discuss the many problems with the current ways we treat and test for low thyroid or hypothyroidism. Paul also shared some of his story with us and how being undertreated for hypothyroidism basically destroyed his life. We also got into the specifics of T4, T3 and Reverse T3 to hopefully help you understand and take more control of your thyroid and health issues. And what do you do if your doctor won't help you. Please let us know if you have any questions or feedback in the comments. 

Paul Robinson became ill with hypothyroidism in his late twenties. Over the next thirty-plus years, Paul accumulated a wealth of knowledge on thyroid and adrenal dysfunction. His scientific background enabled him to fight through the morass of misinformation and recover his health, and help many many others.

At first, Paul was put on the most common thyroid treatment - Levothyroxine (also known as Synthroid or T4). However, the majority of his symptoms remained, much like they do for many on T4-therapy. Over time he became even more ill, with both low cortisol and low thyroid symptoms. This then spurred Paul to put everything he learned on paper - writing his 3 books. Paul wrote 'The CT3M Handbook' as a companion book to 'Recovering with T3' to explain more about raising cortisol levels if needed. And Paul wrote his third book ‘The Thyroid Patient’s Manual’.  This book covers all types of thyroid medications (T4, T4/T3, NDT, and T3).

#347 The problem with current Thytoid treatment & testing, Reverse T3, & more withPaul Robinson

In this episode, Dr. Shamis Tate, a 8renowned neurologist, explores the genetic factors behind hypothyroidism. He delves into whether this condition can be inherited, the role of autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and the impact of family history on thyroid health. Tune in to understand the genetics of hypothyroidism and how it affects your well-being.

Shamis Tate Discuss The Genetics of Hypothyroidism: Is It Inherited?

Will consuming iodized salt help or hurt your thyroid? It depends on who you ask, but if you’re asking me (and I’ll assume that you are since you’re watching this), my answer is that there are much better sourced of iodine and using iodized salt may cause more harm than good for most people. 

There are several reasons for this, but some of the main ones include: 

1. The fact that iodine deficiency is not the problem that it once was. 

2. The fact that there are better ways to get more stable doses of iodine. 

3. The fact that excess salt consumption can cause other problems including high blood pressure. 

Assessing your iodine intake can be difficult but here are some key takeaways: 

1. Avoid iodized salt and get your iodine intake from other sources. 
2. Get as much iodine as you can from whole food. 
3. Make up the difference, if needed, with an iodine supplement. 
4. Try to get around 150 to 300 mcg of iodine each day.

Will Iodized Salt Harm Your Thyroid? (Why You Should Avoid it)

You can do a lot of good for your thyroid by simply changing your diet. And this is true of all thyroid conditions but especially if you have Hashimoto’s. 

Eating the right foods can reduce inflammation and protect your thyroid gland. Or, it could do the exact opposite. 

It’s for this reason that you need to understand which foods you should be eating and which you should be avoiding. 

When it comes to eating the wrong foods, here’s the list to avoid: 

1. Gluten. 
2. Iodized salt. 
3. Dairy products. 
4. Soy.
5. Coffee. 
6. Alcohol. 
7. Processed foods. 
8. Refined and processed sugars. 
9. Industrial seed oils. 
10. Certain vegetables. 

If you avoid these foods you can reduce thyroid gland inflammation and you may even be able to reduce your thyroid antibody levels. And worst case scenario? Even if you don’t see an improvement in your thyroid, you will still experience benefits to your entire body. 

If you want to see more natural treatments that can reduce thyroid antibodies, check out this video next: https://youtu.be/ogktk0VpnTo?si=caCmanLQoYwXpFlg

Top 10 WORST Foods for Hashimoto’s

Many patients with hypothyroidism struggle with high cholesterol due to how thyroid hormone regulates cholesterol metabolism. 

When thyroid hormone is low, cholesterol levels will increase. 

For this reason, many thyroid patients are placed on a statin to combat this high cholesterol. 

But is this necessary? Maybe in some situations, but definitely not all. 

Before you take a statin or another cholesterol-lowering medication, try these natural treatments first: 

1. T3 containing thyroid medication like liothyronine or Cytomel. 
T3 is far more potent than levothyroxine at lowering cholesterol and can be considered if you are taking thyroid medication but still not seeing your numbers go down. 

2. Eat to improve your thyroid. 
Instead of eating to lower cholesterol, eat to improve your thyroid. By boosting your thyroid with food you will get benefits on both your weight and cholesterol at the same time. 

3. Glucomannan. 
Glucomannan is a soluble dietary fiber that may help lower cholesterol by up to 10%. 

4. Berberine. 
Berberine is a plant alkaloid that can lower cholesterol by around 15-20% and can be used in conjunction with other cholesterol-lowering supplements and medications. 

5. Black seed oil. 
Black seed oil is another botanical with modest cholesterol-lowering effects but also happens to help reduce thyroid antibodies and boost thyroid function. This is a great option if you have Hashimoto’s.

The information in these podcast episodes is for informational purposes only and should not be taken as medical advice. All guest opinions are their own and do not reflect my own.

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.
