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.

The BEST Sugar Alternatives for Hashimoto’s

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

How To RAPIDLY Lose Weight With Hypothyroidism

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)

chúc mừng gang mới

bóp vào mông em

Many patients with Hashimoto’s feel frustrated. They don’t like the idea of taking thyroid medication for life and they don’t like the idea of feeling like there’s nothing they can do to help themselves feel better. 

The good news is they can do something: take supplements. 

The right supplements are not only safe, they can also be effective at improving thyroid and immune function in people with autoimmune thyroiditis. 

Here are 6 supplements that can help you feel better if you have Hashimoto’s: 

1. Zinc
Zinc helps support the immune system, thyroid function, and thyroid conversion. 

My recommended zinc supplement: https://www.restartmed.com/product/t3-conversion-booster/ 

2. Selenium 
Selenium helps increase T3 and provides protection to the thyroid gland against oxidative stress. 

Selenium is also found in my recommended zinc supplement: https://www.restartmed.com/product/t3-conversion-booster/

3. Adrenal support
Adrenal adaptogens help provide energy and can be combined with thyroid glandulars for even better results. 

My recommended adrenal support supplement: https://www.restartmed.com/product/thyroid-adrenal-reset-complex/

4. Probiotics and Prebiotics
20% of T3 is created in the gut and it’s a major site of immune regulation. The easiest way to improve your gut health is by taking probiotics and prebiotics. 

My recommended probiotic supplement: https://www.restartmed.com/product/thyro-biotic/ 

5. Vitamin D3 with Vitamin K2
Vitamin D3 protects your thyroid gland from thyroid cancer and thyroid autoimmune diseases while vitamin K2 helps with calcium shuttling. 

My recommended vitamin D3 + K2 supplement: https://www.restartmed.com/product/thyro-adk/ 

6. Black seed oil (Nigella Sativa)
Nigella sativa (the plant that produces black seed oil) has been shown in a double-blind placebo-controlled trial to help improve thyroid function and lower thyroid antibodies. 

My recommended black seed oil: https://www.restartmed.com/product/hashimotos-ab-rx/

The 6 BEST Supplements for Hashimoto’s (These WORK)

Berberine is a great over-the-counter supplement known for its benefits on weight loss, insulin, blood sugar, and even cholesterol. 

But if you spend some time looking around, you’ll notice that there’s a new formulation available: dihydroberberine. 

The formulation that most people use is known as berberine hcl, so how does this new form compare? 

In short, it’s probably better for these reasons: 

One small pilot study showed that a smaller dose of dihydroberberine was roughly 5x more effective than dihydroberberine. 

Given the smaller dose needed, the risk of fewer side effects, and the comparable effects, dihydroberberine is probably the preferred form for most people. 

The pilot study mentioned in the video, along with anecdotal reports, was enough to convince me to reformulate my own berberine supplement to dihydroberberine: https://www.restartmed.com/product/berberine-500/

But that doesn’t mean you can’t get results with regular berberine hcl. 

Dihydroberberine is probably best for people who have sensitive stomachs, who are looking to use higher doses of berberine to meet their goals, and for those who aren’t as price-sensitive. 

#weightloss #berberine #dihydroberberine #weightlosssupplement #weightlosssupport 

If you have an iron stomach and you are trying to save some cash then doubling your dose of berberine hcl will probably yield similar results.

Dihydroberberine vs Berberine: Which is BEST For Weight Loss?

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

What is a thyroid belly?

It’s the characteristic shape of the abdomen that many patients with hypothyroidism end up with and it’s caused by 4 things: 

1. Visceral fat. 
Visceral fat is the fat that surrounds your organs. Thyroid dysfunction increases your risk for developing this type of fat. The more you have of it, the more it will push outward and cause a thyroid belly. 

2. Subcutaneous fat. 
Subcutaneous fat is the fat that wiggles and jiggles and is found underneath your skin. This type of fat can also be caused by thyroid dysfunction. 

3. Gas and bloating. 
Thyroid patients often end up with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and constipation which can distend the abdomen and result in a thyroid belly. 

4. Fluid retention
Lastly, hypothyroidism and the low thyroid state can cause fluid to accumulate in the abdomen which, once again, causes a protrusion of the belly. 

Can you get rid of your thyroid belly? Absolutely, but it will require that you figure out which of the 4 causes I just mentioned above are contributing in your case. 

For most people, it will be a combination of all 4, but, sometimes, one will play a more important role than the others. 

The best thing you can do to eliminate your thyroid belly is to optimize your thyroid and you can learn more about how to do that here: https://youtu.be/5XuC3LPhK3I?si=7uCJvsJEsd5A0elq

Thyroid Belly Shape Explained (Get Rid of it FAST)

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)

Is there a connection between the use of artificial sweeteners and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis? Well, there’s at least one case study that showed an interesting connection:

One woman was able to completely put her Hashimoto’s into remission by doing one thing: avoid artificial sweeteners. 

Does this mean that the use of these compounds cause Hashimoto’s or that they should be avoided by everyone? It doesn’t. 

But it does suggest that removing them from your diet is a VERY good idea if you have this condition for the following reasons: 

1. There are very few treatments available for patients with Hashimoto’s so you might as well take advantage of the few that exist. 

2. You won’t cause any harm by removing them from your diet. 

3. The use of artificial sweeteners has been linked to other health problems in humans and animals. 

4. There’s no need to consume artificial sweeteners given that there are more natural low-calorie sweet options available. 

5. There are other, better ways for patients with Hashimoto’s to lose weight!

If you’ve been using these sweeteners to try and lose weight but are still struggling then make sure to check out this video next: https://youtu.be/F5_U5U5Axag?si=3DHYuxdbzTSUjefG

Avoid artificial sweeteners if you have Hashimoto’s

Thinking about using high-dose iodine to "help" your thyroid? Think again. I can’t think of many good reasons to use high-dose iodine for one simple reason:

The benefits don’t outweigh the risks. 

Are there benefits to using high-dose iodine? Sure, but those benefits can be obtained using other, less dangerous, therapies and treatments. 

Some people disagree with this idea by suggesting that high-dose iodine is not only beneficial but necessary. 

Let’s break apart their arguments to see if they hold water: 

Argument #1. High-Dose Iodine is Safe Because The Japanese Population Consumes 12.5 mg Per Day. 

This may be appealing if it were true, but it’s not. Data from the Japanese government shows that the Japanese consume, on average, 1 to 3 mg per day. 

Argument #2. High-Dose Iodine Helps Detoxify Harmful Compounds (Halogens). 

There is some truth to this argument but you don’t need high doses of iodine to detox out halogens from your body. You can do this with chloride and low doses of iodine. 

Argument #3. High-Dose Iodine Does Not Cause Autoimmune Thyroid Disease. 

There is a clear connection between increasing iodine intake and the onset of autoimmune thyroid disease that has been confirmed by multiple studies. 

How much iodine should you take each day? The ideal dose is 150 to 300 mcg per day from all sources. 

It’s probably safe to increase your dose up to 1 to 3 mg per day at the most, based on available data, but there will be some risks associated with these higher doses so proceed with caution. 

Based on the data, and my experience, staying in the 150 mcg to 300 mcg per day range provides the most benefit without any side effects.

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!
