Hypothyroid Patients: Lose 20 Pounds in 60 Days

7 років тому

The most comprehensive webinar I've done on weight loss for thyroid patients.
This webinar walks you through the main reasons that hypothyroid patients aren't able to lose weight and how your hormones may be impacting your current weight.
You can find my 60-day step-by-step program which includes everything you need to target these hormones for lasting weight loss here: www.restartmed.com/hormone-ma...
If you are interested in having Dr. Childs evaluate your labs you can find more information here:
www.restartmed.com/lab-testing/
The thyroid is a master hormone in that it controls several other hormones in your body that all help to regulate your fat tissues.
Low thyroid can predispose you to conditions such as inulin resistance, leptin resistance, and thyroid resistance.
These three resistance syndromes make weight loss very difficult unless you target and treat each of them.
This webinar explains new and advanced therapies that are available to help hypothyroid patients lose weight and keep it off and these are the same strategies that I've used on hundreds of patients in my clinic.
You can read more about case studies using these therapies (including before and after pictures) here:
- www.restartmed.com/weight-los...
- www.restartmed.com/thyroid-we...
- www.restartmed.com/victoza-we...
The best way to approach weight loss is with a comprehensive program that focuses on diet, exercise routine, existing hormone imbalances, thyroid dysfunction, and nutrient deficiencies.
There is no "silver bullet" for weight loss, but by addressing all of these factors you will give your body the best chance it has of getting back to "normal" and staying at that weight.

I’m 37. Diagnosed with hypothyroidism at age 3. I’ve been on levothyroxine for all my life. Doctors being downright condescending and not giving a damn. I came across this channel and changed doctors for the umpteenth time. But because of the information I learnt here that no other doctor has given me before, when I met my new doctor he knew there was no way to argue around not changing my treatment. I also discovered I’m diabetic. Had bloods done and finally prescribed T3 along with my T4. I also take selenium with them. Metformin for my diabetes and it’s been three weeks and already a world of difference. The only thing still bugging me is my depression but I’m sure everything will slowly fall into place for the better.

Isn't it their job to help or it takes to much work. I have thyroid cancer that won't go away, now in lungs. It is slow growing but Dr seemed to be stumped on what to do. Have taken irradiated iodine 4 times after complete thyroid removal. No matter what I eat or don't eat cannot loose weight, or exercise. Need a hammer and chisel. Sorry for anyone that has to go through any of this thyroid crap.

Love Dr. Childs!! I found out after 3 years I had iron deficiency without anemia in 2021. Then it caused hypothyroidism then hashimotos when my iron crashed again in 2023. I exercise daily (hard) and eat extremely clean and high protein. Well… my integrative doctor just did an organic acid test… I’m riboflavin deficient. Riboflavin is responsible for iron storage!! And metabolism. Lack of iron and low ferritin broke my thyroid. You lose riboflavin by heavy exercise!!! It’s all connected.. So don’t forget to add a B complex!!!

I gain easily weight if I not take care. I want to loose 5 kg more and above all will be much more healthy in my thyroid. Most of my life I was addicted to all sugar stuff and on lowfat diet.

I had all the symptoms of hypothyroidism and went to my doctor who carried out a blood test. This showed that I was borderline hypothyroid and my doctor told me to come back in three months for a further blood test when he predicted I would have to start taking thyroid meds. I never went back. I started taking Lugol's iodine, a few drops per day for a few months, and this cleared up all my symptoms rapidly. I am still carrying a bit too much weight and have trouble losing it, but I think this is more because I don't get enough sleep and love all the wrong foods! I am sure this doctor is very sincere in his studies, but all too often I think we are encouraged to accept the situation - hypothyroidism in this case - and it is expected of us to go down the pharmaceutical route when what we should be doing is looking to give the thyroid what it needs to work properly instead of supplying the hormone that the thyroid is supposed to produce. Our bodies are designed to work properly and heal themselves when given the right nutrients, but if we artificially provide a hormone that the body should be making, then why would the body continue to try to make it? Naturally it won't bother and we end up taking meds for the rest of our lives.

That works if your hypothyroidism isn't autoimmune. If you have an autoimmune disorder and stimulate the thyroid in that way, you can get a stronger autoimmune response that can destroy whatever is left of your healthy thyroid tissue, faster.

I lost faith in the medical system decades ago and thank God I went to a naturopathic practitioner. I wish there were more doctors who would see what is wrong with the system and do something proactive about it.

I'm going to try and find a lab that will do all of your recommended tests. In May 2017 I introduced T3 only taking a quarter of 25mcg to supplement the T4, but ran out. It's very hard to get here, had to send for it from Turkey. I've been without it for 3 mths and I've put weight on, even though my eating patterns haven't changed, in fact I never feel hungry, oh and I've noticed some hair loss. This week I managed to track down some T3, from Bulgaria, can't wait for it to arrive. I did lose some weight on the Keto diet, but could only keep with it for 6mths as I found I was just eating the same foods, I need to be more creative lol.

i was pre-diabetic with 122,5kg and i went to a keto diet five month ago and i lost 10kg now (=2kg per month avg.) without being hungry. blood sugar levels are also down - normally under 100. i feel much better now. i don't get tired throughout the day anymore and i don't need to sleep that much anymore. i also take vit.d3+k2, sometimes a b-complex, sometimes alpha lipoic acid. when i feel very energetic at the evening i go jogging for 2km (now 4 running stints with 3 walking breaks in between when heart rate is too high) and the next day i feel so great. but that does only works when the body feels ready for the exercise. when you force yourself to exercise then you do not have any benefit at all (cortisol level goes up and you feel like crap). now i also take a little bit of iodine, selenium and l-tyrosin to give my thyroid every building material it needs to do it's work. let's see how that works out. i try to stay on keto diet as long as i can cause it is the right diet for me. at the end of the year maybe i am near 100kg. what i want to reach is 105kg which seems a very realistic goal within my 2kg weight loss that i could achieve per month. everything lower than 105kg is a nice bonus :-) also a word to intermittent fasting: it works on keto very good cause on keto you don't have that much hunger. and from my perspective of view, every diet with hunger in it will fail and i don't think it is healthy.

Dr Child's, thank you for taking the time to fully explain this complex and important information and reasoning behind why and how the 20lbs in 60 days program is going to be an essential program to use to lose weight with hypothyroid. Some patients may prefer to not learn about the science and your utilization of it to create the program and may rather just jump ahead to the program itself but i for one find it impossible to trust and then follow any program without first understanding how viable/safe/appropriate it is for me and why/how exactly it will realistically benefit me. So again, thank you for putting your time and effort into explaining all of this, very appreciated!

I absolutely love you Dr. Westin for making this video... I started calorie restricting when I was about 16 years old.. I had to watch my food all my life... I have had every symptom you mention and I actually do gain weight if I eat over 1000 calories per day (if I am eating vegetables). On a fatty Carnivore diet I can maintain, but not lose anything. I get so distraught about not being able to lose weight over the past 30 years I feel almost like ending it all... but I don't give up and keep doing more research that has led me today to this video. I have isolated myself inside my house for the past 30 years, as I am so ashamed of being so obese, I cut myself off from all family and friends but still have not lost any weight I don't want to die fat... I want to start living, but I can't do it unless I look at least normal, not thin, but normal... I know I have extreme Insulin resistance and Pre-diabetes last time I had blood tests, but my Doctor retired so I have not seen one for about 14 years now... I am nearly 78... I don't want to die fat...

Just a couple of days ago I met a new doc and had my hopes up...turns out she said that everything I'm going through is PSYCHOSOMATIC!😮 I have thyroid antibodies for God's sake! I had begged for the test for years but was refused until recently. But since my other (few) labs were within range she didn't care that I have gained 60 pounds (despite being a nutritional therapist and only eating whole foods), lost a third of my hair and half of my eyebrows, edema in my face and body, horrible fatigue and pain and have lived on disability for 23 years bcs of this...Still....it's "PSYCHOSOMATIC"? 😮 I'm just so sad to know that help IS out there but it's out of my reach!

This is so interesting and confusing. So a year and a half ago. My doctor sent me to the lab for blood work. I was 46 and was 292 pounds. 6ft tall. It's the heaviest I'd ever been. Test came back with thyroid issues, hypothyroidism, and pre diabetes. I was low on a couple other things, I can't remember, but one was vitamin D3 with gluten intolerance. Also, my testosterone was really low at 103. I went on medication for thyroid and testosterone. My doctor also had me start taking berberine. I also cut down on sugar and bread, stopped drinking soda and pretty much went gluten-free. I struggle with the diet from time to time, but I have managed to go from 292 pounds to 215 pounds. In about 16 months. Over this winter I went back to some old ways and didn't keep up with my nightly walk. I quickly gained 8 pounds and I felt like junk in the morning. No energy tired but can't fall asleep and feeling bummed out. I've since started my diet again and have started to feel better. I want to get tested again, but what type of blood test should I get to see if I have insulin resistance, and are their any other test I should look at? Thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos.

Were you consuming a lot of dairy or even fat from avocado, nuts , nut butter , bacon, oils etc and processed keto snacks? Because that's a major cause for weight gain on Keto, it's portion control on these fats and also possible allergies towards dairy especially that cause bloating / inflammation / weight gain that cause this to happen. Maybe you weren't eating enough veggies, salads and also fish / seafood or berries.
