This Hormone CONTROLS Your Metabolism (& It's Easy To Get)

- If you are interested in losing weight or simply maintaining weight then you need to pay close attention to your basal metabolic rate.
This rate controls how many calories you burn at rest and it's the most important factor when it comes to your weight.
The question is, can you do anything to augment your basal metabolic rate to improve how many calories you burn at rest? And the answer to that question is yes.
This is because your thyroid is primarily responsible for controlling BMR. It's estimated that up to 40 to 60% of your caloric burn is regulated in part by your thyroid.
And there are things you can do to improve your thyroid function to increase how many calories you are burning at baseline.
One of those things is by taking thyroid hormones, especially t2 thyroid hormone.
Emerging research is showing that T2 thyroid hormone is one of the thyroid hormones in your body that is primarily responsible for regulating your metabolism.
And it just so happens that T2 is the only thyroid hormone that is available over the counter.
Studies in both humans and animals suggest that T2 thyroid hormone may be an emerging treatment for obesity both in people with thyroid disease and in those with normal thyroid disease.
Learn more about using T2, its safety profile, how much to use, and much more.

Correction: when I discuss the dosing of T2 I mention that the dosing is in mcg (which is correct), but the pop-up on the screen shows mg (which is incorrect). So, for clarification, the dosing is in MICROGRAMS and not milligrams.
Will I have to continually supplement with T2 if I begin to use it?
Once dosing starts do you have to continue forever?
@@Saved0316 that would be good to know
QUESTION.
PLEASE, SORRY I'M USING CAP LETTERS.
Synthroid is for T4, Liothyronine is for T3.
WHAT IS the name for T2? Where can l buy it? Desperate 4 youranswer. Thank you so much for your attention. 32yrs with hypo!!!
You should edit the video. People who miss this correction could overdose, which you point out can be harmful.
Hashimotos 30 yrs. never heard of T2 before this video! Thank you!
Nice content!! I observed that you imrpoved how you edit your videos. And thats really help me to undertand more every topic. Thank you, Dr. Childs. My whole family is watching you. From australia.
I have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and take a compounded porcine thyroid med. I recently added creatine and your T2 supplement. I lift heavy weights and eat a clean low carb diet and I’m physically active. Not I’ve always had low body temperature. With the supplements, my body temp has gone up and I’m no longer freezing all the time. I’m seeing good body recomposition and I’m feeling better overall. Thank you!
also hashi here. You can also activate the brown fat by taking cold showers. I started by taking contrast showers. I would end showers with cold water in the beginning and allowed a few days to rest before trying again, then kept at it until i could take proper contrast shower. Now, a few years later, I can take daily cold showers. Another option is cryosauna. Additionally, there are supplements that can help lower anti-tpo, like NAC and black cumin
@@lalayastill610Thanks so much for this interesting and valuable information!
@lalayastill610, what is anti-tpo?
@@eve2738It is one of the antibodies they test for Hasimotos. Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies-Tpo. Also, I think the other antibody is Tgab.
My thyroid, TSH is always tested normal. I have some of the symptoms of low thyroid, but my doctor never wanted to do full panel. I ended up paying for full panels twice out of my pocket and finally had the TGAB antibody come back high, but that other one was totally normal . My doctor tested and saw it was high and said I had beginning Hashimoto’s. I didn’t even get to talk to an endocrinologist. He spoke to the endocrinologist and relayed to me that I would probably never need medication. The weird thing is after testing hi twice on the TGABA antibody the next test was totally normal go figure, so yes, I want to try this T 2. Anything I wrote here double check me to make sure I am correct. Regarding a full panel there are two antibody test that I’m sure of.
Dr. Child late comer here. The doctor I see know only test my TSH and T4 levels which I have gained a lot of weight in the last three years and now I’m getting tired of the hamster wheel.Because of the information I got post surgery, it bewails me that the first doctor I was seeing had my t4 medication very low for my body weight. I like that you push against the medical field because it seems that they come off as rank and file. They don’t actually see us as human anymore but just a case to file away. Your tests are fine you just need to exercise. Straight BS. How in the hell can I exercise if I’m dog tired after I get off from a 12 hours shift. Make that make sense.
Very informative! Thank you!
Thank you! Sounds like what I need. Or, at least a fair whack of it. I saw an endocrinologist who was only allowed by the HMO to use the older chart for interpreting results on the thyroid test. Saw a Naturopath later and he told me that's what happened and that I definitely have a thyroid problem that is considered too low to treat on the old charts but definitely is high enough to warrant medical intervention on the newer charts. But, that's the last time I saw him, for reasons outside of my control. Sometimes, my thyroid chugs along okay. I was told it is not diseased but something is attacking it. Like something I am allergic to. Blah, blah, blah .. upshot is, I know I have fairly bad thyroid problems sometimes and mildly bad much of the time. So, I will be glad to give this a try, along with the N-whatever Acetylne thingy I learned about in the last video.
My pellet hormone doc prescribed NP Thyroid for me for subclinical hypothyroidism or as he said I could use a "little boost." I had no issues other than a little tiredness and I always had normal labs, very slim and lean. It messed me up terribly. I felt bad overall, gained 10 lbs. quickly, felt spacey and had a lot of hair loss. My husband said it changed my personality. I was on NP to begin with and changed to Adthyza on a very low dose of 30 mg/32.5 mg. My labs did not change at all on either med. except my TSH went down some. My T3 and T4 remained the same for years. TSH was 2.1 to begin with and went down to 1.8, but I felt horrible. I weaned myself off of the medication and feel great now! No more puffy eyes, much clearer-headed, and weight is coming off. Messing with hormones as complicated as they are is risky business when you don't need it in my opinion. I lost a lot of hair during that time which is distressing and my hair was beautiful and thick. I would not recommend taking T2 for weight loss nor other thyroid meds unless you need it. Just my opinion, but I have been through a lot with this and it didn't go well. I love Dr. Childs on most things, but I am not in agreement with taking T2 for normal thyroid patients nor low-dose thyroid meds when you don't need it.
I take 15mgs (30mgs cut in half) of NP for a little boost & it works perfectly. Sounds like you were taking too much which will definitely result in the side effects you were having. But since you feel better w/out, that's great 🙂
Luckily in Europe T2 isn't available over the counter.
US is a mess about supplements and people's health.
Doc should be careful, he also gave the wrong advice about mcg and mg 😮🙄😓😳
@@CoralSea12 I didn't need it at all. It totally changed my hair texture, made me feel weird in my head like a full feeling, more tired and just overall bad. I won't be going back to him. I totally understand medical doctors go by labs, but not only were my labs really good, but I felt good as well, so I am not sure why he thought I needed it. In the meantime, I have found out he prescribes nearly every person who walks in the door thyroid meds.
@@DebbieTDPto @drwestinchilds defense, he did comment about the correction. The popup seems to possibly be an autocorrect issue, maybe. Just like it seems you might have forgotten a word or two in what you're trying to convey with your comment ("In Europe isn't available" ...what isn't available?) People seem to forget this is TH-cam. You shouldn't be using this as medical advice. Watch and definitely do your research at your own personal risk and more importantly talk to your Dr before taking anything to address any issues , illnesses, symptoms, etc you may be experiencing.
@@bbp8572 not everyone reads comments. So if they stick to the video they have the wrong dose.
Of course I was referring to T2! That doctor Childes sells 🤫😬😬👀
Thank you, Dr. Childs. This was off my radar - I didn't even know about it at all! Woah. I've ordered some of yours, and am excited to see how it works out.
Thank you, Dr. Childs! This really worked for me! OMG! Finally!!!!!!! After 20 plus years of unsuccessful attempts at loosing weight with a bare minimum hypothyroid prescription, knowing that it was the culprit but being told I'm fine yet hitting a serious plateau in my weight loss.
Wow, what a great info!
I’m so pleased you have mentioned your T2 saw it on your website and wondered what the benefits are
Me too :)
@6:53 caution : mg refers to milligrams while micrograms is to be written μg or mcg. Note that short fasting periods of 24 to 36 hours are also upping metabolic rate and testosterone. (this opposed to chronic caloric restriction that lead to depression and slowing down of metabolic rate) About myself, male 47, bmi start was 32, now 29, I am on a loose keto/med diet since January, the weight loss started with my first 36h water fast, but I adapted first my body to low sugar for one month. My weight loss is slow, but mostly visible on the abdomen, I am happier, feel bouncy, and see huge benefit in memory, mood stability, mind is clear, organised, I am the ninja of my days, it's a new life, wonderful. I'm not sure I want to change anything since the trajectory is good; but I stay informed.
He posted a comment about mcg and mg. The dose he mentioned is in mcg, the Pop up was wrongly in mg.
Way to go!
Thank you once again Dr Childs.
Increase muscle mass with strength training exercise to increase basal metabolic rate. Go on a keto or carnivore diet. Do intermittent fasting. Try natural means before getting T2. (Your info: Dose should not exceed 300 mcg/day; ideal range between 100-200mcg/day. Need 6 weeks before seeing results.)
I get tired and cranky and headaches, not enough range of food for my taste on keto, less on carnivore.
I just received your vitamins and T2 today in the mail. I also just started an increase in NP Thyroid meds of 15 MG today. I was experiencing depression, brain fog and feeling cold. My doctor seems agreeable that it might be time to up my meds. My blood tests showed I was low in T3 and T4. Now to just get off the 25 pounds I gained after a total thyroidectomy. Thanks for all you do.
My daughter takes 15 mg. of NP thyroid. All her levels were low in her last labs. Dr. said they were "just fine" 😡 It is so hard to get all of this sorted out with a GP. We can not find a naturopathic Dr. in our area. My daughter is special needs and she can not express her symptoms. All I can do is learn from drs like Dr. Childs.and try to do my best for my daughter. His information is always so helpful.
Where do you order his vitamins
So before you try that supplement try doing the intermittent fast every-other-day for 16-18 hrs., eat a caloric deficit healthy diet, and exercise for six weeks first. If all that doesn't help, then add those supplements.
Be careful of the caloric deficit diet - according to Dr. Berg, it resets your metabolism lower and makes it harder to lose weight.
fasting helped me a lot, but you need to be very careful with how you resume eating after fasting, because it can mess with your gallbladder, microbiome (which can be a big contributor to why you're sick in the first place) etc
Where can l purchase T2?
Or do a carnivore diet which keeps you at zero carbs and in a fasted state. Lots of hashimotos issues healed on carnivore
Hi Dr Childs, having suffered with hypothyroidism for over 25 years, taking 100mcg Levothyroxine daily and still having debilitating symptoms (despite bloods being classed as 'normal') I have found your content invaluable. I'm from the UK and the knowledge in this area is shocking, in the dark ages! Are you able to let me know if there is a natural supplement for T2 as it's not something that's available to purchase in the UK 😢 - or if the is somewhere in US I could legally purchase the proper stuff and have shipped here. Thank you for all you are doing 😊
Dr Child’s, there is a place in your video that needs correction. At the 3:54 mark under dosing, a number pops up in the upper corner of the screen when you say, 300 micrograms. But the number on the screen is 300 mg….. NOT mcg
If someone is taking notes and writes that down…. YIKES!!!
And your video shows 300 mg
Just don’t want you to get in trouble.
By the way…. I love your videos and articles on line!!! You are a blessing.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
FOR
THIS GUIDANCE
NATUROPATH HERE AND DID NOT KNOW THIS UNTIL NOW
WILL FOLLOWUP IMMEDIATELY
Thanks dr❤
If we don’t know what T1 does, we don’t know enough. Clearly the body tightly regulates these hormones and something in our food or environment is upsetting our regulatory system.
Where do I get t2 and is it good for people without thyroid due to papillary cancer
I am taking Levothyroxine. I don't have a thyroid. Can i take T2?
Can I take T2 with thyroid medication?
Very interesting.
Very interesting thanks Doc. So we obvious question is, where do we get it?
He sells it on his website, naturally..
He didn't mention to ask your neighborhood pharmacist but worth a shot
You gave good information. I am on 45 mg (mcg?) Of T3 2x daily after my thyroid crashed. I started taking this T2 (specifically the brand from this doc) and so far I have noticed I am warmer and more energized. No heart palpitations. I eat well and exercise daily so Im interested to see how my stubborn booty fat (not a typo) reacts in the long run. Cant hurt to try!
I don’t want to be Warmer....
Is T2 a prescription? If not, where did you get it? What Brand?
@@melissawingfield8666 He mentions all that in his video - no it's not a prescription and he sells it.
@@FoyeStender I'm sorry, I watched the video but didn't catch that.
And I damn sure don’t want my booty fat gone lol love
Will t2 help with hairloss as a result of low thyroid function
Seems to not be available in Other countries . Cant find it in South Africa. Is the another name other than 3, 5 DIIODO-L-THYRONINE ?
I asked my Dr. about T2, however she said she doesn’t know about T2.
Dr. Childs I’m a 61 yr. Old female. I’ve been w/o my thyroid since I was 22 years old. I was diagnosed with thyroid Ca. , and had it removed. I’m on 112 mcg of Synthroid and 10 mcg of Cytomel . I have been unable to lose any weight. I have gained 40lb., and post menopause on top of it. I feel so tired severely stiff and achy. I have been exercising and I don’t snack and eat healthy. I’ve tried inositol and Berberine . I’m not seeing any results. I know they won’t increase my thyroid medication, but have not heard of the T2, do you feel this could be an option for me. Doing what I can. I would appreciate any thoughts. Thank you for your help and time
Easy to get ??? Where?? I searched the internet & couldnt find any, why didnt you tell people how to get it on your video as shown in the title?
What brand name you can buy in Canada?
Yes, but how and where can you get it, especially outside the US. It seems very rare, no mention of form. If you have to ask a doctor will they even know it exists let alone stock it?
Is your T2 Thyroid cream grain free? Is it safe if you have Hashimoto's? I have Celiac Disease. Is it equally as effective for men and women?
Thank you
So I'm still waiting on the :easy to get" part... ask your dr. for it?
Can you test me so I know exactly which I need and how much? Orrr do I just try one and see how it effects me over several weeks?
Would I still be able to take my Tirosint if I add a T2 Supplement?
Question… can you use T2 if you don’t have a thyroid. I had thyroid cancer about 23 years ago been on levothyroxine all this time. Will T2 work for me?
I'm giving T2 another go. Just ordered another bottle.
🙂
Update, I had to stop taking it because my ankles seemed to swell up.
I have thyroid the low one , were can I find T2 ??
Dr. Childs, you mentioned in a previous video that you don't have an issue with someone taking NDT (NP Thyroid) in the evening before bed. I just switched from Levo to NDT. I used to take Levo before bed, well after eating my last meal. It just seemed easier to do that, than remember to take it before coffee in the morning. I'm wondering if there is any downside to taking my NDT in the evenings instead of the mornings? Appreciate any response if you have time. Thanks. Laura
I take my ND thyroid at night before bed also...
I was instructed (by Dr and pharmacist) to take Levo on an empty stomach, at the same time each day, and to wait minimally 30-45 minutes to eat, after taking it. They said it would not absorb efficiently if taken with food.🤷🏼♀️
Can we take it with high blood pressure?
QUESTION.
PLEASE, SORRY I'M USING CAP LETTERS.
Synthroid is for T4, Liothyronine is for T3.

Where can I get T 2 to buy? I am taking thyroid meds, but I am still gaining weight.
🙋🏻♀️ question !!
Isnt T2 naturally occurring in NDT!? So am I not already taking in T1-5 altogether if I take an NDT and not Levo!?
Can this affect hormonal breast cancer (5year survivor)?
Where would you purchase this.
Can I take t2 with hashimotos and already take np thyroid 75 mg.
Can I go from Levothyroxine, 150 mcg to NDT, from on day to another ?
No the higher your BMR the more calories you need to survive, truly if you are getting all the essential nutrients bring the BMR down and not only save money on food but also slow down cell burn out and replication fade.
Do some of you even listen or watch the whole thing? I see questions keep asking about WHERE CAN I GET THEM lol.
T2 can be found off the counter, 3,5-Diiodothyronine is a common supplement that acts similarly. The doctor is helping by giving out info, but don't expect anyone doing things completely free for you. He has those for sale, or just google T2 and/or 3,5-diiodothyronine. In the age of auto-correction I'm sure you'll manage with typos.
Great, can you share with the rest of us once you find access? Appreciated
How does this work when you do not have thyroid or parathyroid glands
WHERE CAN YOU GET IT?
Thanks
Do you recommend this for someone with graves? It’s under control and no longer taking methimazole. Having a hard time losing weight. The medication made me gain a lot of weight.
He only answers questions on his paid patreon
I have hypothyroidism and I take Levithyroxine can how can I get T -2 I need to lose about 10 to 15 pounds
Sorry but your recommended product contains maltodextrin which is worse than table sugar….
This is fascinating as I’m finding hard to lose weight as I’m 46 and on HRT. I’ve been taking berberine, magnesium and turmeric recently to help. Could T2 help on top of all that?
Quit all this crap. Just walk as much as you can everyday. Slowly with time increase time/speed. And try and stick to 1800 calories per day. Weight will fall off. That is the ONLY solution. Trust me!
@@GRANNIESPETPEEVESNEWSFLASH, Grannie….he states he doesn’t PRACTICE medicine anymore. He is a doctor!! You can be a doctor and not “practice” medicine officially! Educate yourself!
Look into the Weston A Price Foundation and their principles for living a healthy life.
Where can you purchase T2?
I have Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis/Hypothyroidism. Is T2 safe/a good idea for me to take?
Interested in hearing Dr answer ...
He never answers any questions … very unprofessional
Hey Dr, I’m taking Levothyroxin for my thyroid issues. Could this be a replacement for it?
Levo. is synthetic T4
There are many causes and severity levels for hypothyroidism... Go ask your doctor that has your full chart!
I was wondering that too. I take the same medication.
Is it better than Iodine drops for your Thyroid?
What is T2 & how do you get? Drs don’t talk about T2 at all, only 3 & 4.
Please tell me how I can lose weight if I n 2:11 o longer have a thyroid. Thank You
I love your vids on thyroid issues 💜
Unfortunately I’m in uk and can’t find T2 supplement 😞
Yes agree,no one seem to supply this in the uk 🤔
@@jennycampbell989 Thank you Jenny. Same with bovine thyroid treatment not available here.
We have a very narrow old fashioned attitude to thyroid problems in UK. I've struggled for years but Dr says I'm well balanced.😢
@@annclarkson6349 Thank you Ann. I have great GP here in Scotland but her hands are tied when it comes to lab results as they don’t test T3… I told her I was going to take Selinium to help turn T4 into T3 and I’m taking acidophilus for gut health. After 3 weeks my inflammation has gone and have tons of energy 😎😎😎
@@user-ko4bk8nj5l Wow, that's great! Will try that. I'm on South Coast. Only T4 blood tests here so it's difficult. Bless you 🙏
Any info on low normal ft3 and ft4 labs but thyroid ultrasound indicates some abnormalities?
You may need iodine. Google Dr. David Brownstein. He has a lot of information about thyroid health and iodine.
I get my thyroid checked all the time. I have been able to get rid of 4 out of 5 of my thyroid nodules by going low carb and gf. My Naturopathic NP never explains to me why I have Hashimotos. I'm not on meds, and my thyroid numbers are supposedly in the normal range, but I'm still always exhausted, and cat stay asleep thru the night, and I'm in menopause. Do you have a video on what thyroid numbers should be?
Can you help with fatty liver/ hypothyroidsm?
I have a “fatty liver” too probably from medication (I don’t drink). I have Hashimoto’s too.
What supplement do I search for these T2/3 ?
Timing. You suggest taking your thyroid meds at night. But your T2 bottle suggests in the morning within half an hour of your thyroid med. My questions are, can it be at night with the thyroid pill, or, can it be at the same time as the thyroid pill, or, can I take it in the morning away from my thyroid med?
Yes, it can be taken at night. I just point out the morning because it has a small chance of keeping people up of at night.
So what the medicine i used to control may metabolism
So where do you get T2?
I had hyperthyroidism and I actually gained weight. It raises your appetite as well. It’s not a weight loss miracle.
Hyper= over and hypo= under. If it’s over you will probably burn more calories.
too many supplements is scary
What is the source for the T2 in your supplement?
Is T2 contained in thyroid glandular supplement?
Should T2 be taken on empty stomach?
My concern is it affecting oestrogen levels which could increase people's risk of cancer?
where do you get t2
Keep it quiet! The big pharma will hear!!!! You're my new favorite doctor on TH-cam, despite the fact that I hate American doctors!
Hi Dr. Westin Childs, I just received your T2 supplement, when and how’s the best way to take T2, I take my Armour thyroid at bed time.
So where can one get T2?
Do you offer zoom consulations?
wasnt really getting enough anyway but how effective is just iodine and selenium supplementation
My problem is I’ve gained weight since I had a thyroid problem… Last December, I had both my thyroid’s removed, I was put on different medications, this last one is NP Thyroid 60 MG (the pork pill)… I’m feeling a lot better on this one…. Now I want to lose the 25 lbs I’ve gained ….. I’m reaching out …yes for HELP!!
Both your thyroids ?!? We only have ONE thryoid gland each lol
@@DJ-wp2lk Left side or right side can be removed separately . You are given the option of one side or both for removal if cancer is only on one side . It is one , but can be bisected into 2 parts . I was introduced to this when I chose both to avoid a second surgery , as it had spread to lymph node .
Some of us can't buy T2 in Europe. What are we supposed to do?
Where do I find T2?
T2 100-200 mcg or mg?
How would supplementing with T2 affect someone with Hashi and a thyroid that swings back and forth hyper to hypo?
Exactly my question too. Please Can you answer 😢
Omg this is me too…for 20 years
On his website, it shows that T2 is safe for those of us with Hashi’s and also those that have had a thyroidectomy and other thyroid conditions.
Look up carnivore diet and hashimotos. Lots of people had success with it.
What if your Thyroid gland is shrinking . Still take T2
Dear Doctor I am on Armor thyroid a 120 milligrams a day 6 days a week. I was trying to figure the micrograms and it seems exceedingly high. Now I had it lowered over 2 years ago because my pituitary was not functioning. High T3. I was depressed. Once it was lowered to the 120 milligrams 6 days my symptoms lifted after a few months and I also went on keto and lost 25 lbs. I would like to know what you think. I have had no estrogen for probably 15 years. And I now have osteoporosis which after 1 and a half years on prolia and upping my calcium and D intake I’m now osteopenia. I do have shortness of breath and have chronic pain in my lumbar area which is where they see osteoporosis or osteopenia and arthritis in many areas of my spine. And knees . I’m 70. I never heard any mention of T 1 or 2. Please give me your take on this. Love your channel!!! Thank you!!!!
I’m also on Armour Thyroid for hypothyroidism, and want to know if it’s safe to take T2.
I am not sure if this is your case, but I just wanted to throw it out there just in case. If your body is having issues regulating calcium, you should have your parathyroid glands checked. My mother had 4 tumors on her parathyroid glands (there is 4 glands located behind you thyroid ) causing hyperparathyroid, which then led to borderline osteoporosis. I just wanted to bring awareness to this because it's not well known by doctors, and she lived for years with horrible symptoms while trying to figure out what was wrong. Best wishes to you.
@@mandya1229 THANK YOU and that is a good point I’m going to check to see if it was ordered on my blood work recently . I am aware of parathyroid my son had it and had his parathyroid operated on like 10 years ago. They discovered it by him having kidney stones twice at a young age. I went through menopause at a younger age probably 10 years earlier not because of a hysterectomy or anything. And that’s when the thyroid started to go on a downturn. And so for several years I was struggling with hypothyroid. Very difficult AND the symptoms became overwhelming. Which I was the one who diagnosed myself. The gynecologist I had was so bad. She just wanted to put me on synthetic HRT. Which I went on for a month and took myself off of it. I was HAVING severe pain in the lower stem of my head occipital which they reported it can cause brain hemorrhage etc. and years went by and I finally found a Medical Doctor who was alternative who gave me blood work and called me up and said I had hypothyroid. At that point I had every symptom. I was really struggling with energy and severe shortness of breath etc. Now I’m being tested this is like 20 years later for Hashimoto. I have gone without the proper diet and medication etc. for a long time. I swear if I wasn’t taking green vibrance back then which had some seaweeds and spirulina I would have been really bad. It kept me functioning. I read some of Mary Showmen books and went to her Doctor she recommended and that’s when I found I had 0 estrogen. So that contributes to the bone loss. Also I had given up milk and diary for a long time but now I’m doing it for 3 years grass-fed organic milk and different cheeses. Living in California I felt the best eating the keto diet and I didn’t have shortness of breath. I’m in Florida now and the humidity is awful. I’m having severe shortness of breath, but I think the hypothyroid has taken a toll on me. And the pain from osteoporosis and no estrogen. I am going to have my Dr order blood work for the parathyroid. Thank you again for that because that could be a HUGE FACTOR! Calcium levels!!
@Michelle S It is so hard to find good doctors nowadays and you def have to be your own advocate. I also diagnosed myself with Hashis after complaining constantly to the doctor and feeling like I was just crazy. It is a struggle for sure. I am also in Florida so I completely feel you there with the weather. And it also seems once you have one thing it just leads to another. I am now in the process of getting diagnosed with Hyperadrenergic POTS which is also not well known in the medical world. It left me bedridden and in the hospital. They eventually decided to put me on a beta blocker to help slow my heart down and bring my blood pressure down and it has atleast made me be able to take care of myself. Being vertical isnt really my friend at the moment. So now to find a doctor who can help with that. All the specialists take forever to get into. I hope you figure out some relief. Sounds like you been through the ringer trying to deal with symptoms and doctors. I am glad you found an alternative doctor that can help get to the root of things. I am happy your son got the help he needed with his parathyroid. That also is awful to deal with. Got lucky that the parathyroid center is here in Florida atleast. Not sure if your son got his surgery over there in Tampa. You are in my thoughts. It's a shame that insurance companies don't want to help with a lot of naturopath doctors. I am lucky I have a good pcp now who listens and tries to help now. Too any quacks out there, lol. Goodluck Michelle! We all need some of it 🙂
Look into vitamin K2 for the osteopenia. Vitamin D gets the calcium into the blood, but K2 puts it into the bones and teeth. I started taking a K2 supplement a couple of years ago and I've noticed a big change in how easy it is to clean my teeth and how smooth they feel.
6:25 exactly was about to say welp its about to require a prescription
Since the liver is the vehicle the body uses to convert T4 to T3, why not focus on improving the liver?
Very true, agreed! You may find this interesting. A few non-human studies found that T2 may help with fatty liver, which in turn would improve liver function. Of course this was in mice, so take that for what it is, lol.
You are saying micrograms of t2 but your video shows MG which stands for milligrams which could be a dangerous mistake or others!
How to speed up slow peristaltic?
I bought the T2 from your website. Rather than taking a whole capsule, I broke it open and only used a little each of the last 3 days. But I noticed my feet were more ice cold than EVER during sleep, which made it difficult to sleep. What could be the reason for this? I do NOT have Hashi’s. I take NP Thyroid once per nite, 1.25 mg. It helps, but I still can’t lose wt. I’ve tried GF in the past, but it made zero difference. Any ideas? Does this mean the T2 already contained in the NP Thyroid is enough and the extra is too much - causing freezing feet. When the supplemental T2 wore off, my feet got warm again…
Why don't you try taking it as suggested and see how you feel?
Anti inflammation diet. IF intermittent fasting overnight woukd help.
Have you actually been diagnosed with hypothyroidism?
Interesting. But can't find it anywhere.
What if they remove your thyroid? Then what I'm a mess
What about curcumine with black perper for Hashimoto?
I'm not diagnosed by the Dr yet. But I think my thyroid is the problem bcuz I gained 15lb in less than 6mo. Doing researched, I found turmeric and black peppers are really high in oxalates. I stopped taking them, and my muscle and joint pain reduced significantly. I stopped talking a lot of foods high in oxalates.
