What She Eats to Stay Off Thyroid Medication
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 тра 2024
- My wife was able to use a combination of diet and lifestyle changes to get off of her T3 thyroid medication.
She suffered from an unusual form of thyroid resistance due to an eating disorder in her teenage years which left her with metabolic damage, treatment-resistant depression, thyroid resistance, and the inability to lose weight.
She had a complete resolution in her symptoms with the use of T3 thyroid medication (liothyronine) but didn't want to stay on her thyroid medication forever.
To do this, she changed her lifestyle and her diet and, as a result, she was able to get off of her thyroid medication and remain symptom-free.
This is her diet:

#thyroid #hypothyroidism #hashimoto's
Dr., I believe VERY strongly that an eating disorder in my teens has cause my sluggish thyroid. I'm so grateful that you're talking about this, along with your brave and intelligent wife. Would you PLEASE consider doing an entire video on past eating disorder as causation and exactly what to do about it decades later for those of us on step one of our thyroid (Hashimotos) healing plan? It would be SO much appreciated; you're the only doctor who's ever mentioned this. Thank you!!
Same!
Good to know we're not alone. Hope you're doing well❤️
Thank you to your wife for being so selfless and transparent. Her sharing to help others is awesome and thank you dr for all this education. I was very recently diagnosed with hashimotos and feel super lost, overwhelmed amd just plain defeated. Your videos are giving me hope
I’m the opposite. I do carnivore diet. I’m almost completely off my levothyroxine on my own because no endocrinologist want to help come off. They are all in bed with big pharma!
I’m trying to eat more carnivore meals. I have Hashimoto’s.
Yes ! A person that knows the truth
Last week I asked my doctor about supplements for treatment and she almost became she hulk as if I insulted her and then I refused vaxs and that was the last drop 😅 I don't think she liked me too much
I cannot believe in all this rubbish i a on levothyroxine i have no problem with wait gain or lose i am in perfectly good health doctor put me on 75m.but.i.am.onley.taken.25.and.still.feel.very.well.i.am.79.years
Old not seen a doctor for five years so he has no idea what the state of My health is i have no faith in my doctor's surgery i phoned them to ask for a doctor to phone me back and was told i wouldn't get one for three weeks when i did get the call back she told me to go to the shrop doc it's a bloody desgace once you have turned seventy they do not want to know o and by the way I am still working on building sites the national health services are finished it won't be long before we will be paying for our illness which this government wants i am so pleased i won't see it privertised as my foot steps are getting shorter on this earth
Same!!
Love how you specify Her diet. Everyone is definitely different. I was vegan for 3 and half years and it caused my thyroid issues and severe osteoporosis. I now eat a low carb high protein meal plan. I’ve only been on thyroid medicine for a year and a half and just now starting to lose weight. It’s definitely been a struggle.
I really appreciate all your videos!! Thank you.
How did you conclude that your diet caused it? Thanks
@@lifeaccordingtotheo9643if she has Hashimotos like me than poor diet causes leaky gut which causes autoimmune disease
Same thing happened to me. I was vegan for many years and it caused so many health issues. Never again!! People forget that veggies, including organic have loads of pesticides our bodies can't handle. Interesting how it affects bones. My daughter can't stand meat so she was vegan by accident and developed arthritis at age 14. She'll has to take arthritis meds now to keep bones from going south
I tried a whole food plant-based diet too but I couldn't get rid of my insulin resistance nor could I lose weight. My teeth hurt from all of the fruit too. I went on the keto diet 2 months after stopping my medication and I lost over 50 pounds. My blood sugar is normalized now too.
@@travelinggirl6681 If you are vegan for health issues eating fruit is really bad for you. Maybe once or twice a week. The amount of sugar without a good amount of protein with be really bad for you.
Carnivore works for me.. I can’t imagine eating carbs, my gut hurts when I eat those type of things.. I have so many food allergies. I’m glad she found what works for her.
Worst thing for you in the long run.
@@About2Rain Ask Jordan Peterson and his daughter. They are pure carnivores. Everyone is different and do what is best for you
@@About2Rain Some people have severe autoimmune disease and it seems to be the only diet that works for them. Everything else is too triggering.
Low to no carb diet is best
Is your hair falling out or growing?
I stopped taking that thyroid medicine. It was making me gain weight. I started a keto regimen.
What dosage were you taking?
Pls keep a check on your levels to see if your diet is helping or not.
Rubbish
My doctor said the meds are what keep your levels normal but just recently my test came back to 0.71 and that means I'm almost normal and if I get three points lower I'm getting off my meds
Me too
Thank you for sharing !
Thank you for this information Dr Childs.
Thank you for sharing! The hash sounds fabulous!
Great video. Thanks for sharing✌️🫶🌞
Thank you!
Thank you Dr. Childs. I have hypothyroidism and I am fatigued and losing weight rapidly.
Sounds like me. I had a really bad breakdown at age 30, got down to 4.5 stone in weight. After major stress, constant anxiety and being frozen & housebound for 10+ years can't shift a pound. I've just learned my deviated septum may be causing sleep apnea which i believe also compounds metabolic issues. Thanks for this info Dr Childs 👍🏻
get your septum fixed- one of the best things I ever did!!!! I can breathe!!
Great video. I will substitute the kale with another vege due to my hypo, I'm unable to digest raw kale. Can you update the above site. I'm unable to get into the sites
😍Thank you very Much
Hi, very interesting video…… could you please explain why carbs/sugar is important for the thyroid to function properly…..I don’t understand….thankyou very much.
It is thought that carbs are needed for the conversion of t4 to t3. However there are many people with thyroid issues thriving on zero carb diets.
@bushpig6837
I did hard-core keto couple years ago and it nearly killed me, literally. My body stopped responding to my meds, I was in and out of hospital, my body was eating itself from the inside causing severe muscle pain with spasms, couldn't drive for three months while recovering, it was horrible. My doctor is a keto fan but said thyroid patients should never be without carbs, the body goes into shock. Do what you want but thyroid issues are showing up in record numbers due to keto. It was a horrific experience for me. I put all the weight back on and then some and haven't been able to lose a single pound since no matter what. Just be careful
Hello Doctor, thanks for such a wonderful video, please let me know if there is Hashimoto's and hypothyroid with ckd 3A, can my mom, she is in her 70's, can she have Proteins, request you to please reply, thank you
It seams people on a zero carb diet are learning that it not such a bad thing to add carbs back into their diet.
You are right bcz in eco system god made all of these things for purpose ❤

3:12 actual diet
Dr Childs how to get ur appointments
Some of the foods she is eating would test incredibly high on a Continuous Glucose Monitor, such as popcorn, fruit, dates etc.
Dr. Childs, what is your opinion on oxalates? I had in issue in the past so I’m cautious about how many greens and oxalate containing foods I eat.
hi im a 45 year old male love your vids. I did a blood test recently, my Free t3is 4.4 TSH 2.83, and free t4 is 10 what does this mean ? thanks
I’ve had a bad reaction to oats so I do raspberry kefir with homemade nut butter that has Brazil nuts , pumpkin seeds,pecans,walnuts, on a rice cake sometimes with fruit and I don’t feel hungry enough to eat until dinner. My dinner is half of the week with some meat and half vegan. And I’m gluten free. I’m also very careful about grains, and sugars.
What was your reaction to oats?
I got very itchy. And I used to never have this issue with them before so either there is some kind of chemical they use during the growing process or my body decided to change again. I just went through the change as well, so the chemistry of my body might be different again. I have to keep changing my diet as I get older.
I have been on a gluten free diet for more than 12 years, slowly to begin with, as not a lot of gluten free foods available at that time. I also have been having a lot of supplements like selenium, zinc, coq10, vit b complex, vit d, k2, magnesium glycinate, boron. I managed to lower the levothyroxin in 2019 from 175 mcg to 100mcg. I also did a fast up to 72 hours, when I allowed myself coffee, tea or herbal teas. I am finding it difficult to reduce my prescription. My GP has suggested to try out 75mcg for about 3 months and then do a blood test. For some reason, the GP pharmacist automatically ordered 100mcg and the GP ordered 75mcg, so I have both. I decided to continue with 100mcg until it runs out in January, when I shall start on 75mcg until April, when I shall have a blood test and see if it has worked. My diet is consists mainly veggies, salad, salmon, sardines, macarel, some other fishes, occasional chicken. I have oats, flaxseed, chia seeds, sunflower, pumpkin seeds and nuts, like Brazil nuts, almonds and cashews. Also Have avocados everyday. Fasting is difficult at the moment.
Thank you Dr. Childs for sharing.
I have a kale sensitivity. Maybe a different green...
Hi Doc is there anything that can be done to persons like me who had the radioactive treatment, i just totally regret it i was in my 20s when i had it done now I'm in my 50s
Hi doctor does t3 medicine burn muscle?
I need your help.
I am also low thyroid, but I am intolarence high carbs diet, lactose fructose gluten don't digest without beateine hcl
My t3 and t4 is normal but my tsh is low..0.04.. my meds is levothyroxin 50mcg before breakfast
The links to the diets are not working.
wish i could follow your perfect diet, but i am hashi and need the aip diet plus i have to intersect that with a low oxalate diet. not fun and not a lot of choices there.
i’m taking your T2 and i get anxiety depression frustrated and aggressive.. take one capsule in the morning empty stomach!!!! tried it 3 different times
Yikes that is not good
Hi like being a carnivore I'M trying to figure out what to EAT or wich vitemens to take for my thyroid gland , because I get frustrated anger stress and a bit depressed ,I love working out but I wanna REALLY feel free to sweat I want .......what can I eat and drink .......soda and I don't agree with each other.......
Hi.l My son has Grave's and he had RAI. After a year, his TSH level shoot up to 26. He's 24 and getting bald. Can he eat cruciferous veggies?
Can people suffering from hashimoto's hypothyroidism stay off from thyroid medication?
It’s possible if you eat a very strict diet.. pretty much 90% of the time. Grain free, sugar free, soy free, dairy free, and for many, eggs are a problem, etc. I would not recommend her diet for someone with hashimotos, as she does consume grains. It also depends on how long you’ve been taking the medication..your thyroid may or may not, make the required hormones your body needs.
@@Shayne_T Sugar free means white sugar or even the fruits??
Does your wife still have to take T4 medication? Which Ultima does she like?
I’m curious, if hers was caused by under eating etc. wouldn’t she have been able to bring her thyroid levels back up by eating more or can you not being levels up naturally? dealing with something similar right now and was put on NP
I’m hypothyroidism i loses weight I need help to slow down my metabolism
Your wife is an amazing stock photo B-roll artist! 😂
Hii I really need your guidance i am at 18% body fat can i take t3 and clen
1. What should be the dosage of t3 in fat loss and for how many weeks

Please guide me or make separate video
I can’t download your wife recipes and your recipes. Actually I think it’s your website. It says it’s pending
Hi Dr. Childs,
I have been off syntroid for one year and half now by using 3 of your supplements and changed diet.
I am.greatful because it was getting out of control.
I only use your supplements now, the only issue i have left is my hair that doesn't grow and thin a lot.
I have tried one of your supplements but i wasn't consistent.
May God guides you in everyday you do. God bless you.
The cusromer service is great too
Research collagen and biotin for hair loss.
What diet would she be on if she was Hyperthyroid and not Hypothyroid?
Biotin is not good for Thyroid do not take it
@@bitcoincountry8623thank you, I will do .
Big hugs
@@bitcoincountry8623my hair stil hair loss, does it help hair loss and grow it?
What protein powder do you recommend?
Kachava is the cleanest and best!
Does diet help if you have had hypothyroidism your entire LIFE (50+ years) since infancy?
Could you please share what eating disorder she had? I think I have something similar, I'm trying to find more information on how eating disorders are connected to the thyroid dysfunction 🙏🏻
Balanse in the økosystem,like toppatlets and army do for
100 years +-
I gained 20 lbs immediately when lio was added to levo and a year to get it off😢
My smothy us coconut milk, avocado, banana, ginger, scoop of gut health, flaxseed oil. I take it with vitamin D3, prebiotic, enzymes. Every morning for 5 years now.
Ive always dieted and tried all diets even though i was never overweight until 11 years ago and took Depo after my last and 7th baby and gained 100 pounds 😢now ive dieted from keto and IF and Weight watchers but didnt lose a pound just dropped two sizes i need to find a solution to lose weight asap before i die and i have IBS and its hard to eat cruciferous vegetables and fruits
Have you tried carnivore or lion diet? You will definitely lose weight with them. Especially if you have food sensitivity/intolerance to vegetables. I have been on keto for a year now but it didn't do anything to hashimoto so just started the lion diet as it's the ultimate elimination diet and people are getting amazing results even for autoimmune diseases.
I can't send links as UA-cam will remove my comment but check the channels called homestead how and ferrigno freedom. They are on lion diet.
@@Miracles999 I've done Weight watchers for over a year but doing mostly keto and I haven't lost much at all only few pounds but did drop two sizes it helps when I track my food I don't see the results on the scale but on my clothes I do
I've got type 2 diabetes and kidney disease to go along with my low T3. It's hard keeping potassium, phosphorous, protein, and carbs down. And I don't like fats so I'm stuck.
Unfortunately I had my thyroid removed so I have no choice but to take meds.
Me too… would be nice if our diet could overcome not needing synthroid. Iv had such a hard time adjusting
💔🙏
@@hopegonzales4145same here! 😢
And that’s okay, too. If it’s working properly and you have a great doctor, then you are doing what’s necessary for a good quality of life, and eating well, or course.
I need to end gluten which i crave
What if i blost after ebery meal?
Thank you for this information, including the recipes and the permission to add oats and bananas. I actually crave bananas.
Cacao has more polyphenols than anything else by far... so I add to my cappuccino
My question is…when does her digestive system get to rest?? Eating late is not good.
Is there any way possible to be off a thyroid medication when you have had your thyroid removed
Wow. I have the SAME question!!❤😊
Please answer Dr. Westin!
No, do not get off of it. Make sure you are on the correct medication and dose, and of course, eat well.
What was her eating disorder? Binge or not eating?
I’m pretty sure I’d feel like absolutel crap on her diet 😂
Thyroid medicine doesn't help. I have gained on them. They always tell me my levels are normal yet I still feel no energy and tired alot.
I agree put it in the bin
Synthetic medicine might rather harm. I take natural hormones since 2015. NDT.
Because you have to eat well, and, you need to make sure you are on the right medication for your needs. High fiber, dairy, certain supplements, will absorb the hormone as well, so it’s tricky.
You need to see a functional doctor who looks at the full thyroid panel, which includes Reverse T3. Maybe you aren’t converting the T4 into T3. Also, to feel well, you must eat well.
Hi! I, really, like to watch your videos and I get a lot of help from the information that you provide. BUT, PLEASE, SLOW DOWN YOUR SPEECH! YOU TALK SO FAST THAT IT IS VERY DIFFIUCLT TO KEEP WITH WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. I hope that you look at the comments that people leave for you.
I have been on Thyroid medications since 2011. Its now 2023. Is it possible to come off thyroid medications after so long? I have Hashimotos!
Only if you are eating well. It’s best to eat well when on or off thyroid medication.
Can dairy be consumed with hypothyroidism and PCOS?
Ask AI( artificial intelligence) will tell you from A to Z.
Wow! That is a lot of food and calories in a day!
Agreed. It’s not good to constantly eat. It’s very hard on the body.
Right? Too much sugar and non-essential carbs for me!
Yes, I find it difficult to have smoothie and oats mixture both in a day, it has to be one or the other with another meal at lunch time. No breakfast.
A high fiber diet stops my thyroid meds from absorbing. Even if i wait up to 4 hours to eat
Thank a lot for this video but you say that your wife is gluten-free as I am because of a very high sensitivity and you also say that she eat overnight oats on the morning with chia seeds, fruits, etc, but there is glusten in oats ? I tried to eat them instead of a traditionnal French breakfeast but my tummy was as bloated as with bread, so I stopped, even if I loved the taste very much... Like your wife, for me a bloated tummy is a very telling sign that I can't eat a food, even eating rice, white or brown, my tummy ressemble to a hot balloon because of the starch and I even struggle to breath after eating it... So I don't know what to eat on the morning as I am not a huge fan of smoothies with vegetables. All healthy suggestions are welcome !
She doesn't take any supplements?????
I couldn't eat that much food each day!!
I would become diabetic if I ate so many carbs! This is 80 % carbs?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
If I ate all that food I would be as big as a house.😮
Not all of us can eat fruits and vegetables, and starchy carbs. We would if we could. Trust me, I would not be carnivore if I didn’t have to be. I found “carnivore” before I knew it was a thing - meat was, quite literally, all that I could digest without severe bloating, mood disturbances, etc. I’m assuming your wife doesn’t have Hashimotos, as you mentioned her thyroid condition being related to an eating disorder in the past.
Yes, this fits perfectly with all the research I've done: only a whole food plant based diet will actually normalize the thyroid because it's free of all the animal hormones.
Nope
That’s not what this video is saying. His wife eats animal products, in this example, he said she eats ground turkey and likes to have her protein at night. He’d like for her to eat more protein.
She is not plant based, as she does consume meat & eggs.
Well I don't have one
I thought you're not really supposed to eat oats if you have hashimoto's.
Waaaayyy too much sugar. Stevia is not good for you, and that’s far too much fruit.
Not to mention the high amount of oxalates she's consuming, just saying
Right? Too much sugar and non-essential carbs for me!
Why is this protein myth still alive and kicking?? There is more than enough protein in fruits and vegetables. When have you EVER seen anyone in a western country admitted to hospital because of protein deficiency? It just doesn't happen, unless they're starving, and then they're deficient in everything. However there are plenty of people in hospital for protein overload ie cancer, diabetes, heart disease... The meat and dairy industry really did a number on people in the 50s about protein, in order to sell more of their products. And it just won't quit. Please do your research on this. Your wife does NOT need protein powders. They're at best completely unnecessary and at worst, harmful to the body.

If I had that diet I would be nothing but bloated... I'm all for vegan/vegetarian though.
bananas, unless green have too much sugar. a lot of the foods she eats have lectins. good luck with this diet when she gets older
I can't believe she does good on this horrible foods - starches and sugars and oxalates and lectins ... basically everything one should avoid. No, carbs are not important for hormones - however, healthy saturated fats are.
Did you tried healthy fats diet nd did it help?
You really need to change your title.
