Very informative, I used Phentermine in the past, good results at the time. I started on it today and had adverse reactions. Made me want to sleep. Needless to say I'm not going to use Phentermine. Thanks for your insight on that Doc!

I stopped eating wheat 2 months age when I learned that wheat is contaminated with glyphosate. To do that I also gave up eating all ultra-processed foods because they are all filled with wheat products. I recently got a checkup with a TSH test and my TSH went from 3.4 down to 0.43 I also feel a lot better with more energy and I'm losing about 2 pounds per week.

When I first started taking thyroid medication it made me gain weight and I thought I don't like taking this and I read up on everything under the sun and I started taking natural desiccated thyroid. Within a year I had lost 100 lb in a year and I wasn't really trying. But it came back and there's nothing I can do to lose weight. Because who knows it might be my age lack of exercise which I can't do because I have other health issues. I'm going to try taking it at night and see what happens.

I appreciate that someone is talking about iodine, but I have to disagree about the dosing. I've taken 50 mg iodoral with the cofactors for over 15 years and enjoy very good health and strong labs. No signs of Hashi's or Graves. Before and after ultrasounds showed the complete dissolution of ovarian and uterine cysts ant experientially my whole menstrual cycle became much easier. It seems to be far more problematic for people taking too small of a dose - mcg doses seem to create a lot of detox symptoms. Additionally iodine has shown to be beneficial in reducing the effects or likelihood of atherosclerosis. See the work of Dr Jorge Flechas, he has several excellent videos here on UKposts and has published extensively (with Abraham and Brownstein). This element is critical for everyone, but especially for women's reproductive health.

I need to get vitamin d

Dr I like that you talk about thyroid issues, but your stream of consciousness rambling do not help. I just listened and you spent the first 5 minutes sayng the same thing over and over. Looks like you have found your UKposts cash cow.

I’m afraid this kind of FOOD PRISON is way worse than what “potentially” these foods can cause. Soy keeps cancer away and iodized salt keeps vegans from getting deficient… this is not a one-size-fits-all approach. My labs are excellent and I eat and enjoy all of these things!!

Please tell us if this type is the best “Instantized Creatine Monohydrate” ???

Why don’t we see famous and rich builders like Arnold or Jay Cutler etc still using creatine even at low doses????

Where can i find the video on how to use phentermine correctly ?

Tqsm. Dr. Justin Childs. Awesome sharing. Just subscribed & shall share to loved ones.

levy never worked for me it comes from different manufactures. I take Synthroid....but why in the world can't they make the exact amount . There are HUGE gaps in the number of levo like100,125, 165 there should be some marked that is closer so that it is not always either too high or too low ..it is always changing ...I have had had Hashimotos for 28 years... I agree with some of these statements...it feels like no one can help us ...we are screwed:(.....

I was told I have to take thyroid meds for the rest of my life. Watching these videos gives me hope to someday totally get off meds.

I just discovered this guy! His videos are gold!

Hi Doctor Westin. Are there any other conditions that are commonly linked to hypothyroidism and could you do a video on it? I've got a bunch of other diagnosed illnesses and would like to know if they're linked.

I’ll still give it a try because I get more from disease risk from obesity then doing this

I have not been able to loose weight at all. I’m a 64 yo woman who had a thyroidectomy 18 years ago. At first I was on Synthroid and now I’m on Levothyroxine. My weight has gone up and up and up. I was 165 after my 3rd child was born and 14 years later I got cancer on my thyroid. Had it removed and I’m over 200# now. HELP!!

Can you please tell me why I have a suppressed tsh but I’m gaining weight daily.

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 2000. I have been on Synthroid and levothyroxine. The synthetic didn’t work for me. Armour Thyroid was the only medication that did. After reading up on hypothyroidism, the suggestion was to wait three hours before I ate or drank anything. When I mentioned this to my doctor, he suggested I wait one hour. I have been following that rule for a couple of decades now and it has been working for me.

last summer I was told I have hashimoto's when I went to get doctor's "ok" for dental surgery for dental implants. she also said my kidney function was low and said to drink more water. she didn't put me on medication for my hashi's, she said maybe it was being cause by the stress of surgery or from my tooth being infected. is it possible that a tooth infection cause hashimoto's and it will go away on it's own? i'm always nauseous and if I touch my throat or neck I feel like I want to throw up. my hair is falling out so much and I feel like its only after she told me I have hashi's. this whole subject stresses me out so much. at 53 years old I just want a break from stress. why did my doctor not give me medication now before it gets worse? your video scares that crap out me, I been dealing with so much with my dental implants for 4 years not being able eat anything but oatmeal and potato's and now you say don't eat gluten. I'm feel like i'm stuck in hell.

Can this help if you have PCOS? My Daugherty has PCOS and takes one Berberine a day. No weight loss. Should she take more?

hey, thank you for all the valuable info you provide. what is the best time to take magnesium… day or night?

My endocrinologist checks my blood work and levels every six months, so he can adjust the levels should there be malabsorption. I take it at 4 am when I get up to pee, and I am certain my stomach is totally empty. My digestion is slow. (I stop eating at 6 PM). Then I sleep a few more hours. This routine works for me.

1.Check your Thyroid Medication 2.Iron Ferrittin 3.Selinium/Biotin 4.Low Zinc or B12 5.Testosterone/ androgens 6. Estrodial-estrogen/progesterone balance 7.Autoimmunity

I take both and can’t lose a dang pound!😢

I've been on thyroid since I was seven and it always bounced around. I didn't realize the importance of taking it on an empty stomach. It's a problem because I take Coumadin and thyroid and both of them interact with iron if taken within four hours of it - which I was supposed to take three times a day. What my doctor and I worked out was that I would take my iron twice a day and I started taking my thyroid in the middle of the night when I get up to go to the bathroom. For the first time in my life, I've had stable thyroid results. And the BID iron is enough to keep me out of the anemic range. Life is a compromise…

My endocrinologist told me all of this info after a year of testing and changing my medication 4 times. Yes, doctors are so stupid

My TSh result is 3.33 uIU/mL and reference value is 0.3 -5.2 uIU/mL,,,,,Is it normal??? please reply 😢😢

I've been told to take it in the morning from day one.

Dr. Childs, it would be so helpful if you could put the names in print on the screen, as you speak really fast and it is hard to hear the names of supplements clearly. Thank you for the information!

I've been on levothyroxine for YEARS at least 10 years, it's time for a change! I'm going to discuss it with my new pcp.

Thanks!

So in other words, don’t take any B-12 supplement at all, and just go out to the nearest restaurant and order a rich, bloody, medium rare steak. Got it. 👍

Your are the best doctor of the world ❤

I like a snack while laying g in bed at night, how long after snacking should I wait before taking my thyroid med?

Dr berg knows it all and is natural remedies. Big pharma is the killers

U need to take solinium to

Levothyroxine is awful! I'm having my thyroid removed on June 4th. If that doesn't change how my body processes levo, I will insist on an alternative.

Can you take it with turmeric?

I am 72 and have been told I have hypothyroidism. However my heart rate has been 46 all of my life. If it gets between 60-70 I become physically ill. I get arrhythmia and nauseated and must lay down.🤔. My mother's heart rate was 50 all of her life. She wasn't told she ever had hypothyroidism and lived to 92. So can a low heart rate be hereditary too.🤔

Witch type of magnésium when you have pain in your shoulders ?

I am taking Armour and Levoxyl and my eyebrows are getting worse. I have been on Armour since around 2004. A couple of years ago my doctor put me on Levoxyl. My Functional Medicine Doctor said that my tests are good. This test was done on 1/18/2024. My Free T4 direct is 1.08, Reverse T3 is 13.8, Free T3 is 2.4, TSH is 0.932

Dr Westin, what is in Cytomel that causes instense bloating? I want to go to a compound pharmacy but first want to understand. This is simply Cytomel=extreme bloating. My labs are finally good & am feeling half decent. So everything is optimized. Thank you.

Hey Doc. This isnt what i want to hear with an emergency total thyroidectomy scheduled in 3 DAYS!!! jesus. This makes me want to run away and not come back. Been in the hospital for 2 weeks I cant be dealing with this 🫠 id rather die than gain weight This is bs

It’s not about weight loss as a prime motivation. There’s surely so many more factors that are more important- thyroid levels for example.

Question : on your previous video yo indicated that there are 7 different types of Magnesium Supplements , yet here you don't mention what type of magnesium is in Pumpkin Seeds .. because after watching your previous video I realized I've been the Wrong Mag. Suppliment for a year now without seeing good results which is Oxide .. so now I'll start taking Pumpkin seeds and Switch to Mag. Citrate & Glycinate .. any advise ?? .. Thanksssss 😊👏👏👏👍👍👍👍

Confused with this

What’s the need to bring ur religion to this 🙄

This, at this point in time was really not necessary, not enough studies, and data

Ok doctor. Why am I highly craving eggs and dairy causing me to regain the 16 pounds that I lost on the OMAD diet ( my doctor put me on 6 months before). My doctor said "I don't know. Do the PLANT BASED DIET ." SO I looked up "WHY am I craving dairy and eggs ?" On Google. Iodine deficiency!!!! So I took the self arm test. It absorbed in 90 minutes. I did it again a few hours later. I slept fantastic ( for first time in a year) and my itchy back stopped that day. Also my adult onset acne cleared up and my finger nails stopped splitting within a few weeks. Oh, its been 6 weeks . Cravings gone and I have lost 6 pounds. I do the iodine on my arm several times weekly. ?????????
