This Hormone CONTROLS Your Metabolism (& It's Easy To Get)

If you are interested in losing weight or simply maintaining weight then you need to pay close attention to your basal metabolic rate.

This rate controls how many calories you burn at rest and it's the most important factor when it comes to your weight.

The question is, can you do anything to augment your basal metabolic rate to improve how many calories you burn at rest? And the answer to that question is yes.

This is because your thyroid is primarily responsible for controlling BMR. It's estimated that up to 40 to 60% of your caloric burn is regulated in part by your thyroid.

And there are things you can do to improve your thyroid function to increase how many calories you are burning at baseline.

One of those things is by taking thyroid hormones, especially t2 thyroid hormone.

Emerging research is showing that T2 thyroid hormone is one of the thyroid hormones in your body that is primarily responsible for regulating your metabolism.

And it just so happens that T2 is the only thyroid hormone that is available over the counter.

Studies in both humans and animals suggest that T2 thyroid hormone may be an emerging treatment for obesity both in people with thyroid disease and in those with normal thyroid disease.

Learn more about using T2, its safety profile, how much to use, and much more.

Correction: when I discuss the dosing of T2 I mention that the dosing is in mcg (which is correct), but the pop-up on the screen shows mg (which is incorrect). So, for clarification, the dosing is in MICROGRAMS and not milligrams.

Hashimotos 30 yrs. never heard of T2 before this video! Thank you!

[westcoastswingmusic]

I'm excited to start taking your T2 supplement today! 🎉

My pellet hormone doc prescribed NP Thyroid for me for subclinical hypothyroidism or as he said I could use a "little boost." I had no issues other than a little tiredness and I always had normal labs, very slim and lean. It messed me up terribly. I felt bad overall, gained 10 lbs. quickly, felt spacey and had a lot of hair loss. My husband said it changed my personality. I was on NP to begin with and changed to Adthyza on a very low dose of 30 mg/32.5 mg. My labs did not change at all on either med. except my TSH went down some. My T3 and T4 remained the same for years. TSH was 2.1 to begin with and went down to 1.8, but I felt horrible. I weaned myself off of the medication and feel great now! No more puffy eyes, much clearer-headed, and weight is coming off. Messing with hormones as complicated as they are is risky business when you don't need it in my opinion. I lost a lot of hair during that time which is distressing and my hair was beautiful and thick. I would not recommend taking T2 for weight loss nor other thyroid meds unless you need it. Just my opinion, but I have been through a lot with this and it didn't go well. I love Dr. Childs on most things, but I am not in agreement with taking T2 for normal thyroid patients nor low-dose thyroid meds when you don't need it.

@6:53 caution : mg refers to milligrams while micrograms is to be written μg or mcg. Note that short fasting periods of 24 to 36 hours are also upping metabolic rate and testosterone. (this opposed to chronic caloric restriction that lead to depression and slowing down of metabolic rate) About myself, male 47, bmi start was 32, now 29, I am on a loose keto/med diet since January, the weight loss started with my first 36h water fast, but I adapted first my body to low sugar for one month. My weight loss is slow, but mostly visible on the abdomen, I am happier, feel bouncy, and see huge benefit in memory, mood stability, mind is clear, organised, I am the ninja of my days, it's a new life, wonderful. I'm not sure I want to change anything since the trajectory is good; but I stay informed.

Dr. Child late comer here. The doctor I see know only test my TSH and T4 levels which I have gained a lot of weight in the last three years and now I’m getting tired of the hamster wheel.Because of the information I got post surgery, it bewails me that the first doctor I was seeing had my t4 medication very low for my body weight. I like that you push against the medical field because it seems that they come off as rank and file. They don’t actually see us as human anymore but just a case to file away. Your tests are fine you just need to exercise. Straight BS. How in the hell can I exercise if I’m dog tired after I get off from a 12 hours shift. Make that make sense.

[caramelcooler]

Thank you, Dr. Childs! This really worked for me! OMG! After 20 plus years of unsuccessful attempts at loosing weight with a bare minimum hypothyroid prescription, knowing that it was the culprit but being told I'm fine yet hitting a serious plateau in my weight loss.

[GwenMotoGirl]

I have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and take a compounded porcine thyroid med. I recently added creatine and your T2 supplement. I lift heavy weights and eat a clean low carb diet and I’m physically active. Not I’ve always had low body temperature. With the supplements, my body temp has gone up and I’m no longer freezing all the time. I’m seeing good body recomposition and I’m feeling better overall. Thank you!

Hi Dr Childs, having suffered with hypothyroidism for over 25 years, taking 100mcg Levothyroxine daily and still having debilitating symptoms (despite bloods being classed as 'normal') I have found your content invaluable. I'm from the UK and the knowledge in this area is shocking, in the dark ages! Are you able to let me know if there is a natural supplement for T2 as it's not something that's available to purchase in the UK 😢 - or if the is somewhere in US I could legally purchase the proper stuff and have shipped here. Thank you for all you are doing 😊

[kyms]

Easy to get ??? Where?? I searched the internet & couldnt find any, why didnt you tell people how to get it on your video as shown in the title?

[michelemoneywell]

Increase muscle mass with strength training exercise to increase basal metabolic rate. Go on a keto or carnivore diet. Do intermittent fasting. Try natural means before getting T2. (Your info: Dose should not exceed 300 mcg/day; ideal range between 100-200mcg/day. Need 6 weeks before seeing results.)

[BonnieGrace-qn]

I just received your vitamins and T2 today in the mail. I also just started an increase in NP Thyroid meds of 15 MG today. I was experiencing depression, brain fog and feeling cold. My doctor seems agreeable that it might be time to up my meds. My blood tests showed I was low in T3 and T4. Now to just get off the 25 pounds I gained after a total thyroidectomy. Thanks for all you do.

If we don’t know what T1 does, we don’t know enough. Clearly the body tightly regulates these hormones and something in our food or environment is upsetting our regulatory system.

[lanceevans]

Very interesting thanks Doc. So we obvious question is, where do we get it?

[LisaOlona]

Can I take T2 with thyroid medication?

[mitzir]

So before you try that supplement try doing the intermittent fast every-other-day for 16-18 hrs., eat a caloric deficit healthy diet, and exercise for six weeks first. If all that doesn't help, then add those supplements.

[amanuaela]

I asked my Dr. about T2, however she said she doesn’t know about T2.

[melissamullins]

I am taking Levothyroxine. I don't have a thyroid. Can i take T2?

[RoidfreeSenior]

So I'm still waiting on the :easy to get" part... ask your dr. for it?

[abanaysadventures]

Dr Child’s, there is a place in your video that needs correction. At the 3:54 mark under dosing, a number pops up in the upper corner of the screen when you say, 300 micrograms. But the number on the screen is 300 mg….. NOT mcg
If someone is taking notes and writes that down…. YIKES!!!
And your video shows 300 mg

Just don’t want you to get in trouble.

By the way…. I love your videos and articles on line!!! You are a blessing.
