In this episode we'll touch on coercive control, how it hides in plain sight and the devastating effects it has on one's health. The correlation between emotional abuse and auto immune diseases is frighteningly high. Medical journals have found that people with stress-related disorders such as PTSD, or complex PTSD, are 30-50% more likely to develop autoimmune diseases such as lupus, MS, rheumatoid arthritis or Hashimoto's.

This is even more true for people with existing issues like hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s. If that’s the case, does being overweight tell you something about thyroid function? Yes! In fact, it’s a great proxy measurement.
This is one big reason that thyroid patients need to keep track of their weight. But it jus...2024-10-1807 min

The Dr. Westin Childs PodcastThe BEST Sugar Alternatives for Hashimoto’sSugar alternatives are supposed to be safe and healthy low-calorie options that can be used in place of refined and processed sugar.
Their great appeal is that they allow you to eat sweet things without gaining weight. But they don’t actually work as well as you might think.
Before we get into that, though, here are the best natural sugar alternatives for patients with Hashimoto’s:
1. Monk fruit
2. Allulose
3. Stevia
4. Sugar alcohols

The Dr. Westin Childs PodcastThe BEST Way to Lower Cholesterol If You Have HypothyroidismMany patients with hypothyroidism struggle with high cholesterol due to how thyroid hormone regulates cholesterol metabolism.
When thyroid hormone is low, cholesterol levels will increase.
For this reason, many thyroid patients are placed on a statin to combat this high cholesterol.
But is this necessary? Maybe in some situations, but definitely not all.
Before you take a statin or another cholesterol-lowering medication, try these natural treatments first:
1. T3 containing thyroid medication like liothyronine or Cytomel.
T3 is far more potent than levothyroxine at lowering cholesterol and can be considered if you are taking thyroid medication but still not seeing your...2024-06-1109 min

The change that we see in people who go low carb for long periods of time mimics the same thyroid lab tests we see in chronically ill patients and in those who starve themselves.
In other words, if you want better thyroid function and better thyroid lab tests, you need to eat more carbs.

Technically, yes, but the reality is that most people will not die directly from Hashimoto’s.

But does that mean you are free from risk if you have Hashimoto’s? Not at all.

The Dr. Westin Childs PodcastThe DANGERS Of Thyroid Antibodies (They Hurt More Than Your Thyroid)Many thyroid patients with autoimmune thyroid disease like Hashimoto’s and Graves’ don’t realize this but the antibodies that cause thyroid problems (that are associated with these disease states) also cause problems in other tissues in your body.
These antibodies are like heat-seeking missiles that target various proteins and receptors in your thyroid gland which results in abnormalities in thyroid function as well as thyroid gland damage.
We are also learning that these antibodies can cause harm and damage to other tissues as well depending on which antibody you have present in your body.

The Dr. Westin Childs PodcastHow to use LDN to Treat Hashimoto’s ThyroiditisLDN, which stands for low dose naltrexone, can be used to treat various treatments including Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. But what is LDN? How does it work? And how do you dose it? We are going to talk about all of these today.
LDN is a medication used to treat alcohol addiction but is sometimes used off-label to treat autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
LDN works by blocking opioid receptors. When used at lower doses, it causes a temporary blockage of the receptors which results in a paradoxical increase in endorphins. These endorphins can then help to reduce inflammation and...2022-10-1713 min

The Dr. Westin Childs Podcast5 Reasons Your Thyroid Needs Zinc5 reasons your thyroid really, really needs zinc. Zinc is important for supporting thyroid function regardless of what type of thyroid problem you have.
It's important if you have Hashimoto's, hypothyroidism, no thyroid, if you've had your thyroid ablated, and even if you've had hyperthyroidism.
Why is zinc so important for your thyroid? Check out these 5 reasons:
#1. Zinc deficiency inhibits TRH synthesis.
A lack of zinc will reduce TSH and free T3/free T4 levels due to TRH suppression.
#2. Zinc is necessary for T4 to T3 conversion.
If you don't have enough zinc then you won't be able to produce enough...2022-09-2612 minThe Dr. Westin Childs PodcastMagnesium and Hashimoto’s: 5 Big Reasons You Need itMagnesium plays a very important role in both regulating your immune system and your thyroid.

For starters, iodine is required for thyroid function. If you don't have enough iodine in your body then you won't be able to produce thyroid hormone. Because thyroid hormone is required for life, not consuming iodine may eventually put you in a life threatening situation.
Furthermore, human beings do not have the ability to produce iodine on their...2022-08-1509 min
