Naturally Increase Thyroid Function by 20%+ (The Gut-Thyroid Connection)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 гру 2023
- Want an easy way to naturally increase how well your thyroid is working by up to 20%? There's a simple way to do it: by treating your gut.
Your gut and thyroid are connected in several ways and if there's a problem with one, you can guarantee there will be a problem with the other.
There's no scientific study to back my claim that treating your gut can increase thyroid function by up to 20%, but based on my understanding of thyroid physiology, I think it's possible for most people.
Here's why:
1. Estimates suggest that 20% of circulating T4 is converted into T3 in your gut.
2. Healthy bacteria can bind and hold onto thyroid hormones allowing for recycling of these hormones instead of elimination in the stool.
3. Your gut is the site of the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients from both the food that you eat and the supplements that you take. Your thyroid needs these nutrients to function optimally.
4. It’s the site where your thyroid medication is absorbed.
5. 70% of immune cells live there.
6. The ratio of good to bad bacteria, known as your microbiome and found in your gut, influences your metabolism and ability to lose weight.
You can heal your gut easily by doing the following:
1. Putting the right healthy foods into your body.
2. Removing unhealthy and inflammatory foods.
3. Taking probiotics.
When opting to take probiotics, look for a probiotic with multiple species. I formulated this one specifically for thyroid patients: www.restartmed.com/product/th...

Remove gluten from your diet. Test it and see if it helps.
Some comments say remove gluten, and other comments say remove dairy, gluten,,
Other comments say remove soy, dairy, gluten and all plant oils😢😢
I'm so confused..
@sigmafemale4579 I tried my best to stop gluten and dairy but I could not stop 100%
@@PebbleBeachLifeHow was your experience?
@@flowergirl5739I have hashimotos and seem to do o.k. with some dairy in my diet. I have cut out seed oils and refined sugars. Try to eat pretty low carb, high fat.
Most foctor's today are pill pushers and drug dealers. You are the only doctor teaching us about the most important thing, nutrition!!! I agree, this is the best video you've made so far, you are the best of the best out there in the medical field. I wish doctors could be schooled by you or that we could clone you. I'm from a different country and wish I could be treated by you. Thank you for building this legacy and library for us!!
Foctor? That's hilarious! LMAO

This is the best video you have done yet. Thank you for all you do to educate us.
Dr. Childs, thank you for this information. Very competent!
Thank you for educating us on gut health to improve thyroid function. I was stuck in a rut but now I know what to do.
This is by far the best info I hv seen for thyroid. 👍
when i struggled with ibs for years, i took tirosint which was great because it absorbs a lot faster than levo. it was super helpful!
Superb video!
Clear and concise.
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Peace love and blessings!
I believe this is the key to my issue. I don't have constipation but chronic diarrhea so my T3 and vitamins just pass on thru. I get no benefit. Thank you so much, Dr. Childs!
Oh my goodness,
Go gluten free. Try to eliminate dairy oxalates and lectins . Take pre, pro and post biotics . Consider low histamine diet for a while
Excellent video! PLEASE SLOW DOWN.
Dr Childs, how much of the colon is involved in that "20%" you referred to? I've had my colon removed and my t3 is chronically low, so I'm curious how much of a "disadvantage" I'm now at due to lacking that organ and it's involvement with t3 and my thyroid
THIS is the info I was searching for AS I knew it in my gut. So if I tell my Endocrinologist they won’t get it right? This is for my Naturopath I think…thinking outloud. I have many issues rn - thank you!
Oh oh u know we r [still] eating Christmas and holiday desserts...
Go Keto
I have hypothyroidism also hashimotos. What are your thoughts on comsuming sea moss? Ive read conflicting information. Thanks

Sir can I use dairy if I am not sensitive to it ( nothing happen on using it) even if I have hashimoto's thyroditis? Will using milk increase anti tpo?
Do you recommend curtain pre and probiotics to be taken?
What about a stool pill from a healthy person to change the microbiome? BTW i don't have a gallbladder, does that affect the thyroid?
Ok. So I had a lap band that had eroded into my gut taken out about a week ago. I already feel a thousand percent better but I realize I had scar tissue and small ulcers to heal. This also explains why my thyroid is so messed up. That lap band was 16 years of hell.
I wonder if oxalate and goitrogen on veggies are harmful to thyroid?
My husband wants to gain weight.He has chronically low TSH and neurological condition from many years of Methimazole!His gut is mostly normal !But what should he do?
And how do I fix this because I have tried everything im so ill
What? Fill your gut with fiber and sugars from carbs? Limit meat protein?
Hi doctor.
I have an unrelated question i just wanted to know your take on ashwagandha on thyroid and ATPO i have high Antibody thyroid peroxidase and i want to know if taking ashwagandha is good or bad for me
Thank u for the info u provide us!
In my experience it's very good. It assists with the adrenals, can't go wrong here.
@@PebbleBeachLife really? I heard somewhere that ashwagandha is not very good for TPO antibodies and hashimoto’s
@@PebbleBeachLife😊and
I was taking Cytomel 5mg it caused my stomach and intestines to cramp and cause me to have a period not had one in while .I take Tirosint in 75mcg I take in morning exactly as told to take in afternoon I find I get cramps and bleeding to m TSH IS 19 . I do take prebiotic but new chapter Slippery elm,gingerroot,zinc,potassium, good vitamin what's your suggestion I was told by a pharmacist that sometimes manufacturers for medications can cause issues. I have not started taking the Cytomel back yetigot manufacturers (Sigma) was by Maine Manufacturer just trying to stop having bleeding no infection had CT scan organs were fine just elevated TSH WAS 16 went to 18 then in one week to 19 well opinion please.Hope you had Merry Christmas oh I'm on digestive enzyme naturally. THANKS
When you speak of "bleeding," are you talking about when you are passing your stool? If so, do you find at those times that you are constipated? It sounds like you may be eating some foods that may tend to constipate, & maybe some grains that may be irritating to your digestive system & making you thus more inflamed & sensitive in your intestines, especially rectally.
If it is constipation that is causing the bleeding you are talking about, supplementation with Magnesium (like peehaps a Citrate & Glycinate mix) will be greatly beneficial in making your stool softer as well as to relax muscles that need to be relaxed.
I hope this gives you some help.
The Lord Jesus help you heal, though. 🙏🏼
No the other way off no thyroid had killed radio active
I take my T4 (levothyroxine) and T3 (liothyronine) sublingually. Been doing it this way for many years to absorb quickly and avoid the digestive track.
Thoughts?
Smart. He talks about doing this on his website.
There is food changes especially iodine table salt with low sodium that helps don't use sea salt or Himalayan salt either , you need idione salt just alttle on your foods after it's cooked
@westinchilds I was in the hospital last week. The doctors think the cause was my thyroid. Can you help me please.
Hi doctor is stevia okay to consume?
A good question and hope we get a response
Honestly I won't give up my thyroid to lose it in time. Once I won against cancer thus I want to cure my thyroid. I will search for healing the bowel beacuse there is something wrong that causes the immunity system to go wrong.
Can you please talk about instances when you have tsh in the higher range, you start taking med and everything is stable. but then suddenly it goes way low to like 0.0032.nd even after stoping medication for a mnth it kept on decrease , and now i have to take antithyroid medication
TMI
I would love to hear about Hypothyroidism and semaglutide. Thank you Dr. Childs! Also please accept patients I would pay you 😢 I want a Dr who actually cares some 😭 mine retired and it’s so hard getting used to someone new
Semaglutide is a really nasty drug. 😬
👍🏻👍🏻
Good Information giving to fast though
and from all the videos about thyroid I realized healing the gut = healing Hashimoto's
But how we take probiotics whith sibo??!!
I heard of sour dough bread
My stomach is killing me, tired, don’t know what to do 🤦🏻
Can you shrink goiter?
try apple cider vinegar. i feel my goiter shrink a bit after taking acv daily for one week. also boost my energy
I have diahrear so bad nothing stops it. Im so ill
Too much thyroid medication causes hyperthyroidism and loose stools.
💎💎💎
I have collagenous microscopic colitis. This gives me chronic diarrhoea. And i also have hypothyroidism. Guess I'm screwed...
Nah you got to try different foods you will see after awhile why
Sometimes with colitis and after someone caught COVID it can be treated with antibiotics, then you can redirect your gut and thyroid issues with healthier foods try new foods see how that goes , take care
Bananas will stop the runs of diarrhea
@@Yellow-oc4sl if only 😄
Like this guy but takes him forever to get to the point. Zzzz
