🤍 Thank you for remembering those of us with Graves. There are so many general "thyroid support" videos, articles, etc. and nearly all of them are actually hypothyroidism support.
Glad to do it!
@@drwestinchilds Who is the best doctor to go to when one needs a biopsy of two thyroid nodules out of 5 to verify if one has cancer or not? My TSH is 0.16 and TG is 68.8
I’m 25 just got out the military and started feeling weird , insane anxiety , I’m sleeping 2-3 hours a night and when i wake up my heart rate is at x1000 , diarrhea everyday all day , and my hands and feet sweat BUCKETS all day I’m convinced i have this and taking myself to the ER today
How is you doing now
Honest doctor and experienced presenter we are so grateful❤
Great video!!!! 😊
I’m part of the 10% where hyperthyroid was not caused by Grave’s. I’m currently taking methimazole. I would love to get off it, but I’m so nervous for my thyroid to go overactive again. It was so awful.
Thank you for everything💝 I'm definitely going to make sure I regularly get my thyroid nodules checked, take my medication in really get serious about eating healthy. Some days I have slip-ups it's so hard because throughout my whole life I have never eaten healthy. I'm 23 years old and at this point I really want to have a full quality of life so if that means I can no longer ever have a cheeseburger again in life that's fine if that means I can no longer and enjoy alcohol coffee and all that good stuff like cookies hot chips then that's fine with me. I would rather have my health isn't eat all that food and never get healthy
Thank you for puting this info online. But you have to talk about trauma!
This was really useful for me tysvm. There is so little on Graves Disease.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi! Would appreciate it if you can share more about managing hyperthyroid acne, hairfall and TED
Thank you!
Carol, I will say that many people with hyperthyroidism experience hair loss, and while balancing the thyroid hormone levels are necessary, there can also be other factors, such as nutrient deficiencies. Skin conditions such as acne are common in Graves' disease, and I have my patients focus on improving their immune health/healing the gut, and I also advise them to avoid certain foods (i.e. gluten and dairy). As for TED, perhaps Dr. Childs and I will do a future chat on this topic, but this involves the same autoimmune component as Graves' disease, and so it's important to find and remove triggers, as well as to heal the gut. Having healthy vitamin D and omega-3 levels are also important, and certain nutrients can sometimes help such as selenium.
So glad you said that at the start, yes there is more about under active thyroid than there is about Over active thyroid, which is what I have and the specific doctor I have is clueless, now I’m waiting to get it cut out as they think nothing else they can do for me, he gave me a too high a set of tablets and then I was under and got an enlarged thyroid, so I have a fat neck and some days it makes breathing difficult, then the thyroid was over then under then over then under, and this was all done with emails and phone calls and with covid I wasn’t seen at all. Help and support was only given to people to do with covid so everyone else had to F off.
There are still options once you have it removed as well.
Taking methimazole but not working. Refuse iodine and surgery. I think my pre menopause triggered it, which no one talks about or want to treat as a whole women health approach. Also my nodules might have triggered it, but oddly they shrunk, still there but very small in comparison to before. In addition to work a d general life stress It's so traumatic for me at this point. I'm not normal!!!soooo many symptoms and literally causing disabilities.hunger NEVER stops smh
Dr. Berry has the research on thyroid and keto/carnivore. He might not have the diet that works for every individual, but he is an MD, and his wife, who is an RN, is also a Hashi patient. And he does quote peer-reviewed material.
Thank you for posting this. I’m a huge fan of Dr. Berry ❤ I think he’s more reliable and qualified to speak on these things
Who is the best doctor to go to when one needs a biopsy of two thyroid nodules out of 5 to verify if one has cancer or not? My TSH is 0.16 and TG is 68.8
Can you send me his information, I would like to try to reach out to him about my hyperthyroidism.
SOME DRS. ARE SO SCARED, THEIR MONEY IS GOING TO BE AFFECTED, IF PEOPLE GO NATURAL.
what kind of natural treatment?
Great video…Thank you! Wish he got to the graves eye disease natural treatments.
I'll have to have him back on again at some point!
I do have some articles on my website on TED, but of course it would be an honor to have another chat in the future that focuses on this topic!
I love you channel docter Child's im all the way in jamaica Thank you
Glad you enjoy it!
@@drwestinchilds I need help even though im in jamaica I dont know what to eat and I always keep getting g bellyaches im so skinny and it makes me depress I need a little weight in have a low thyroid and hashimoto please help me
Am in Jamaica Doc.how can I make an appointment with you.
I’d like to know if I take the meds to get back in normal range as Im addressing the root cause and then taper off meds to get on natural herbs and or supplements
Hi doc good evening watching from Philippines and I'm a new surgery of thyroidectomy last November 15,2022,I just want to know if what are the things I need to do after the surgery and what are the foods that I need to eat thank you doc.
Ako bago lang kababayan nong march 15 lang ito nagpapagaling na
Hi Westin, can you kindly do a video on the whole endocrine female system and how to heal it ✨🙏🏻
I'll add it to the list! do you have anything specific in mind?
Maybe the link to high estrogen levels.
What kind of natural path doctor do one go to who run these different tests panels to get down to the person own personal health problems? I have been recently diagnosed with Graves Disease and my Endocrinologist told me that lifestyle changes and diet wouldn’t help me which was a huge turn off! She’s recommending that RAI drink which isn’t going to happen. I most definitely going for the natural approach. I already eat and drink clean, I have eliminated gluten from my diet thanks to the Wheat Belly diet, Dr. William Davis, and I am currently eliminating sugars from my diet now, thanks to Dr. Livingood for 21 plus days. However, I do think that I need that blood panel work done so I would know exactly what is going on with me and address it ASAP. Thanks for this video, it is very informative. I don’t eat red meat but I do eat very clean/organic. 👍🏽😊👍🏽😊
You need a functional doctor who can read the blood panel properly
The transcript is crazy 🤔
Is there anything we can do if we've taken RAI?
Thank you for the info. I was diagnosed with grave disease 3 months ago. My primary doctor prescribed Methimazole, but the endocrinologist said I don't have to take it. And he gave me 6 weeks to see if it goes away by itself. After 6 weeks, my numbers were higher than before. So he suggested me go for RAI. But I bought your book and I realized that there is a natural way to heal. I made an appointment with a functional doctor. It took a while to get an appointment. My symptoms were worse. So I started taking Methimazole by my decision. What do you think about that?
Are you still taking the meds? How do you feel? I’m in this same challenge with you and I’m Determined to heal but I want to take follow the proper protocol.
I don’t knows making my nodules come. My numbers are always in range but I keep getting goiters which I hate. My insurance does not cover functional testing or else I would get it
Functional medicine is better. I believe it can help alot in graves disease
Should there be a decrease in iodine foods, in the initial phases of treatment?
yes if you have hyper thyroid
Too late for me was forced to take RAI was hyper put on weight then after RAI became hypo since then 2001 have never ever been well. T 4 makes me feel like I have water in my lungs, heart palpitations. New endo put me on T3 25mcg with 50mcg T4 fingers crossed
Hope it works out!
It is never too late to!
Can you talk about thyroid cancer? My daughter has graves and hyperthyroid that led to thyroid cancer and removal followed by radioactive iodine. At only 30. What causes that?
Sure, I will add it to the list of future videos.
Is she doing well now?
@@drwestinchilds so he recommends fish oil like omega’s, but would that have iodine in it my daughter has hyperthyroid and we’re trying to avoid unnecessary iodine
Hello Thank you for this video
The vitamin d is go for hyperthyroidism
@@lisagardner4814my question alao
So I just began following his Facebook group and it’s very helpful. It’s giving me some hope that I can help. My daughter do a natural approach to help her thyroid condition which she just got diagnosed with hyper thyroid. I’m not sure she has a Graves but she does have antibodies so I’m not really sure what’s happening. Her endocrinologist went on vacation. She’s only 16 years old and we do not want to go on the medication is lemon balm, something that will help does anybody know anything about that?
What is the name of the fb group?
I’ve read lemon balm is helpful in relaxing. Zinc is key to thyroid, along with iodine, selenium, A, E.
For hyperthyroidism it's better to lower the amount of iodine rich foods and substitute sea salt for the normal salt
Is it possible just to go back to normal as you were before you got it. My daughter 30 yrs old felt nothing and went to the Dr for a check up.. they were shocked that her heart rate was way high and blood pressure up. They immediately put her on blood pressure medication and masthenasol .. they scanned her thyroid and said there are three small nodules. They have scanned her thyroid twice and tons of blood tests. almost one year later Down to 10 mg mensenthol per day and no blood pressure medication. They Never said anything about food, diet, or supplements. Of course I’m so worried about the nodules, but they don’t seem as concerned.
Yes, it can happen.
I changed my diet and did the other things like reducing stress, increasing sleep.... I didn't have nodules, but I used anti-thyroid (I used PTU because methimazole made me itch.) I got regular blood tests and gradually my numbers came back to normal and I decreased and then discontinued my PTU. My numbers have stayed normal. I think doctors in this country are just afraid to let their thyroid patients heal, for fear they might die and the doctor be blamed. I think there are probably a lot of people who could go back to normal, but they just do what their doctors want them to do.
Our blood pressure fluctuates All day depending on what we eat, stress, etc. The best thing to do is take blood pressure readings throughout the day/evening, do this for 1-2 weeks then share the info with the doctor for a better evaluation of overall blood pressure. Keep in mind Many, people experience their blood pressure rising when at the doctors office. My bp normally runs 127/76 at home, at the doctors it’s much higher than that.
They ( doctors ) just believe it is inevitable and plan on taking out the thyroid . It is a horrible process
its sad, that people dont understand the conditions, if you try to envade strees, the make you more estressed
Buga weed?? Motherwort? What are names of supplements - omega 3, probiotic, vitamin D, selenium, adrenal saliva test for stress - support diet, sleep, exercise. B, c vitamins, licorice root, NAC, to extend cortisol, siberian ginseng, adrenal glandulars, adaptogens, rhodiola, ashwaganda, stool panel looking for h pylori,
Bugleweed, motherwort.
I just found this channel….I’ve only watched a couple but Dr. Childs speaks as if he has hyperthyroidism - it’s hard to listen to him to talk so hyped up, especially since I suffer from graves. Maybe it’s just me 🤷🏽♀️
I had treatment with Dr. Osansky for Graves and it didn't help one bit... I had to get a thyroidectomy. Tired of empty promises.
Could you tell me more please?
@@elleelle5939 hi Elle what I mean is that he did not check my adrenal function he did not check to see if I have a MTHFR which I now know that I do and which I now know can cause thyroid disease. So his treatments and recommendations were completely useless to me and the herbal anti-thyroid treatment did not work for me. What I’m most disappointed about is the fact that he did not check my adrenal function or for MTHFR because this is thyroid healing 101. Unfortunately I didn’t know that back then otherwise I would’ve addressed it. I don’t believe that gut infections are the root cause of thyroid disease I now believe that no one knows what comes first the chicken or the egg is it gut dysbiosis that causes the thyroid disease or does thyroid disease cause the dysbiosis. In my case but I believe what happened was that MTHFR Was a huge trigger for my gut issues and thyroid disease. MTHFR can mess with adrenal function as well. Basically you cannot heal your thyroid without healing your adrenals and finding out what’s causing the adrenal dysfunction. There were so many things that he did not address that could’ve saved my thyroid. You can find out if you have MTHFR and other genetic issues that are contributing to thyroid disease through 23 and me raw data.
@@maryamshad476 ohhh.. ok. Thabk you for uour answer. So you know any other functional doc who pays more attention?! I totally desperate for my condition...
I am part of two f book groups that are very helpful One is called thyroid patients Canada. The other is called the thyroid patients manual
@@maryamshad476and what can you do if you have thos genetic disorder?😊
Can you have hyperthyroidism without having graves disease
I do based on TSH but not free t4
7:30
I lost weight
He mentioned eggs. Is the substitute for eggs still the same. Or not even that
There is no substitute to eggs. Real eggs are a nutrition bomb, while egg substitutes are highly processed, void of nutrients, and an actual toxic bomb.
Well besides surgery I also don't want to take medicine for the rest of my life either
In my opinion, the headphone is talking too much for me… I want to hear the man experience ONLY… 😩😩😩😩😩🙃
Dr. Westin child can you talk a little slower?
Try to change the playback speed
HPylori, i drank baking soda and cured that overgrowth, hpylori is normal part of the stomach, its the overgrowth thats the problem
I am taking 30mg of methomazole
How are you doing now?
@@svetlanaivnitskaya3504 I am down to 20mg and to God be the glory I am healed from they symptoms of hyperthyroidism
My Dr. wants to put me on 40mg. I was taking 5mg and my blood tests came back with reduction of WBC and highly elevated liver counts. I am terrified of what 40 will do to my body :(
@@dukey19941 oh no. I am confused is your thyroid bloodwork normal or your thyroid hormone is elevated. That is a lot. That is usually if you are producing overly the amount it should. I couldn’t take 30mg in the beginning. I put myself on 20mg in the beginning. But from July to August I had to make sure I take my meds because at that time I was truly dealing with symptoms. After late August up to now no more symptoms. Make sure you taking your meth like you should. If it too much i would first tell your dr. Then heck I would go down my own to 30 to see how that works.
Whoa,,,so much worthless doubletalk,,,sorry your on a time thing,,not helpful at all !!!!
I just got diagnosed with Graves / Hyperthyroidism. I’m also prediabetic with A1C being 5.7
What foods can I safely eat to facilitate my healing?
I’m in the same boat, eating less carbs more veggies, walking more & taking a Berberine supplement to help with the sugar. Hopefully these efforts will show in the next blood work.
Hello did you cured from it?
