Dr. Westin Childs Podcast: Thyroid | Weight Loss | Hormones

This video includes the best and strongest supplements for treating Hashimoto's thyroiditis in 2017. This is the updated and revised 2016 version. This list represents changes based on new patient outcomes and studies. As time changes so too do my recommendations. Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease that includes not only hypothyroidism but a component of autoimmunity. Treatment must be focused on improving thyroid function as well as optimizing immune regulation and function. The list of supplements is targeted at systems to directly (or indirectly) increase thyroid function, reduce the symptoms of hashimoto's and hypothyroidism or to boost immune function. The top 9 Hashimoto's supplements: 1. Zinc - Helps to improve T4 to T3 conversion, decrease inflammation and improve immune function. 2. Selenium - Improves T4 to T3 conversion, reduces inflammation and autoimmunity 3. Adrenal support - Helps improve energy levels, balance cortisol levels and overall improve quality of life 4.
