Thyroidectomy Recovery Support Stack

Formulated by Thyroid Expert Dr. Westin Childs Are You Still Waiting To Feel Normal After Your Thyroidectomy? You aren’t alone. It happens for 2 reasons: #1. Your medication only contains storage hormone. Synthetic T4 is hard to activate, and most patients can’t do it. #2. You are missing the full spectrum of thyroid support. A healthy gland produces much more than just T4; it makes T3, T2, and T1. When your gland is gone, you lose all of this. I created the Thyroidectomy Stack to solve both problems. It provides bovine glandulars and missing building blocks to replace what was taken out, helping you feel like your pre-thyroidectomy self again. The Benefits You Need Thyroid Symptom Support Struggling to control symptoms like hair loss, weight gain, depression, and fatigue, even with normal lab tests? You aren’t alone. All of these signs point to one thing: your thyroid isn’t controlled. Because if it were, you wouldn’t have those symptoms. Our formulas contain ingredients designed specifically for thyroidectomy patients to help them finally eliminate those pesky low thyroid symptoms. Energy & Metabolism Support The average person gains around 20 pounds after their thyroid is removed. Is this because they suddenly decided to eat more and exercise less afterward? Nope! It’s because their thyroid, which regulates metabolism, isn’t optimized. But using the right supplements can help kick your thyroid back into gear, which will also have the same effect on your metabolism. Feel Like Your Old Self If you’re like many patients without a thyroid, you’ve probably never quite felt like you used to before your thyroid was removed. This is common, but it doesn’t mean you have to live with it forever. Taking the right supplements can help you take control of your symptoms and reclaim your health. Thyroid Medication Support If you no longer have a thyroid, then you must take thyroid medication, but this isn’t a problem if you’re taking our formulas. They are not only designed to be used with all thyroid medications, but they also contain ingredients that can help them work more effectively. Included Thyroidectomy Supplements Thyroid Glandular+ Thyroid Glandular+ is a special thyroid support supplement that includes ingredients every person without a thyroid gland needs: Thyroid glandulars. These glandulars come from animals and contain actual animal thyroid glands (from cows, in this case). Why is this so important for those without a functioning thyroid gland? Because inside the thyroid gland is a complex network of proteins, pro-enzymes, pro-hormones, and additional thyroid hormones that we don’t completely understand.

But just because we don’t understand them doesn’t mean they aren’t important. And we know from patient experience and ancient wisdom that they are obviously important because the thyroid gland creates them! But when your thyroid gland has been removed or permanently damaged, do you think your body can create them? Not a chance. But that isn’t a huge problem because you can take these ingredients in supplement form and put them back into your body in the form of thyroid glandulars. Thyroid Glandular+ has been designed specifically for thyroid patients and in addition to thyroid gland, also contains adrenal, anterior pituitary, spleen, and thymus.

Adrenal gland helps support adrenal and cortisol function

, anterior pituitary supports the brain-thyroid connection

, and the spleen and thymus ingredients support immune function.

It’s an all-encompassing multi-glandular thyroid support supplement. Essential T2 or T2 Cream Essential T2 contains synthetic but bio-identical T2 thyroid hormone as 3,5 diiodo-l-thyronine. Many thyroid patients are aware of T4 and T3 thyroid hormones, but they aren’t as familiar with T2 thyroid hormone. Each thyroid hormone performs a special role in the body, and it was previously thought that the lower-level thyroid hormones like T1 and T2 were simply metabolites of the bigger ones. We now know that isn’t the case, as T2 thyroid hormone performs a host of special and unique functions that the other thyroid hormones can’t do as well.

What’s really special about T2 is that it’s the only thyroid hormone that doesn’t require a prescription medication to obtain. You can get T4 thyroid hormone in medications like levothyroxine, you can get T3 thyroid hormone in medications like liothyronine, and you can get T2 thyroid hormone in supplements like Essential T2, which can be purchased over the counter. Taking T2 thyroid hormone provides you with a more balanced thyroid hormone profile, one that more closely mimics what your thyroid would produce in a healthy state.

Taking a combination of T4, T3, and T2 provides more consistent thyroid function, better symptom control, and sustained thyroid hormone function throughout the day.

Supplemental T2 also has an impact on T3 and T4 levels it can slow down the conversion of these bigger hormones to T2 and T1 by putting upward pressure on the conversion process. Slowing down the conversion process means these hormones stay in your system for longer, which allows them to do the things that you want your thyroid to do. Taking T2 thyroid hormone is especially important for those without a thyroid because their thyroid gland is no longer producing this important hormone! T3 Conversion Booster My Thyroidectomy and RAI bundle isn’t complete without supporting the most powerful thyroid hormone in the body: T3. T3 Conversion Booster has been designed to help the body naturally create more T3 by providing the nutrients required to support T4 to T3 conversion.

This is the process by which your body takes inactive thyroid hormone as T4 and turns it into active T3. And this happens to be incredibly important for people who don’t have a functioning thyroid. Why? Because the healthy thyroid gland would normally produce both T4 and T3 thyroid hormones. But once it’s removed, doctors typically only provide patients with one type of hormone: T4. This means that the only T3 thyroid hormone that you will get comes from the T4 to T3 conversion process!

One huge reason that patients feel so poorly once their thyroid has been removed is due to low T3 levels. It turns out that you can support this T4 to T3 conversion process by providing your body with specific ingredients.

T3 Conversion Booster contains those exact ingredients, all in 2 capsules. Thyro ADK Thyro ADK is a powerful combination of fat-soluble vitamins designed to help support thyroid hormone cellular sensitivity.

Not familiar with thyroid hormone cellular sensitivity? Let me fill you in: This concept refers to how sensitive your cells are to thyroid hormones. When your cells are resistant to thyroid hormone, you can have normal thyroid blood levels, but that thyroid hormone will not be doing its job. When this occurs, you are said to be in a state of thyroid resistance. Thyroid cellular resistance is not as well understood as other hormone resistance syndromes (like insulin resistance), but it’s becoming more and more apparent that thyroid patients are suffering from this condition. Thyro ADK features a combination of fat-soluble vitamins to help support how well thyroid hormone from your medication works on your cells. Each serving provides 2,500 IU of vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol (the most usable form of vitamin D)

, 2,000 mcg of vitamin A

, and 3 mg of vitamin K2 as MK4.

Why is it included? Because, as a patient without a thyroid, you are 100% reliant upon the thyroid medication that you take by mouth. Thyro ADK works to help that medication work more effectively in your body and on your cells; it’s as easy as that.

Thyroid Glandular+ – Take 2-4 capsules each day before noon and at least 30-60 minutes away from your thyroid medication (can be taken with T3 Conversion Booster). The recommended starting dose is 2 capsules per day, but the dose can be increased based on your adrenal status and fatigue level. Thyro ADK – Take 12 drops each day, morning or night (with a fatty meal), and at least 30-60 minutes away from your thyroid medication. Can this bundle be used with thyroid medication? Absolutely! This wouldn’t be a very good set of supplements if you couldn’t because EVERYONE who doesn’t have a thyroid needs to be taking thyroid medication. Can this bundle be used with thyroid medication? Absolutely! This wouldn’t be a very good set of supplements if you couldn’t because EVERYONE who doesn’t have a thyroid needs to be taking thyroid medication. Will I need to change my dose of thyroid medication if I take it? That’s usually not required, but it might be. As you take these supplements, you may find that your symptoms resolve, and as the case may be, you might find that your old thyroid medication dose is too high. If this happens, it will become obvious as you will see changes in both your symptoms and your lab tests. But for most people who take this bundle, they will just see an improvement in how they feel without the need to make adjustments to their medication. Do thyroid support supplements help someone who doesn’t have a thyroid? Absolutely! Every single human requires thyroid hormone to survive and thrive, this is non-negotiable. In the healthy state, your thyroid gland produces a combination of T4, T3, T2, and T1 thyroid hormones. But when your doctor gives you thyroid medication after your thyroid has been removed or ablated, they are only giving you one of those four thyroid hormones: T4. Even though that’s the case, your body still has a need for the other thyroid hormones, which is where this supplement bundle steps in: It helps your body create a more balanced thyroid hormone profile by providing a real source of thyroid hormones, bioidentical T2 thyroid hormone, and natural ingredients that help balance T4 and T3 levels, all while helping your cells more effectively utilize your thyroid medication. Does this contain thyroid hormones? Yes. Here are the supplements that contain hormones: Essential T2: Provides T2 thyroid hormone as 3,5 diiodo-l-thyronine. Thyroid Glandular+: Provides bovine desiccated thyroid gland powder. Because this powder comes from the thyroid gland of cows, you would expect to find thyroid hormones along with other cofactors, enzymes, and prohormones. What is T2 thyroid hormone? T2 thyroid hormone is not as well-known as other thyroid hormones, but it is an important and overlooked hormone. It’s produced naturally by healthy humans and has specific actions on muscle cells, metabolism, liver cells, and energy production. Research shows that T2 is at least as powerful, if not more powerful, at regulating metabolism when compared to T3 thyroid hormone. I’ve found that thyroid patients who take a combination of thyroid hormones, including T4, T3, and T2, feel better compared to those who only take one. And this makes sense given that healthy human beings with a thyroid gland produce T2 on their own. And every indicator suggests that T2 plays a pivotal role in symptom management. Will this help me lose weight? Probably not, but it may. In general, thyroid support supplements tend not to have a big impact on weight, even though they may support your metabolism. The best way to lose weight is not by taking thyroid hormones, but by optimizing thyroid function and then applying healthy habits like diet and exercise. In this way, taking thyroid support supplements primes your body to be more receptive to weight loss treatments. If weight loss is your primary goal, I have a number of thyroid weight loss supplements that can be taken on top of this bundle to provide benefits to your weight and thyroid at the same time. Are there side effects when using this bundle? In general, my supplements are very well tolerated and typically do not cause negative side effects. Most people who use them experience only positive side effects without any negative side effects to speak of. But rarely, due to the higher and more powerful ingredients found in my supplements, do people need some time to acclimate. If this happens, any side effects that may occur will subside within about 5-7 days of regular use. During this transition, you can reduce your dose to better help your body make that transition. But if at any point you are ever concerned about your symptoms, please reach out to us at hello@restartmed.com. After helping well over 100,000+ thyroid patients over the years, we’ve seen it all and can provide help and insight as needed! Should I still use this bundle if only half of my thyroid gland has been removed? Great question! If you still have half of your thyroid gland remaining, then the hypothyroid bundle would be the better option. Will this bundle help me to get off my thyroid medication? Unfortunately, it is not possible for patients who are post-thyroidectomy or post-RAI to completely get off their thyroid medication. Once your thyroid has been removed or completely destroyed, you will be required to take thyroid medication for the rest of your life. You may, however, find that you need less thyroid medication or adjustments to your thyroid medication dose when you use this bundle. Are these products safe? Absolutely! All of my supplements are formulated based on extensive research, ensuring that each formula has the ideal ingredients at the ideal doses, designed specifically for the needs of thyroid patients. And if that doesn’t convince you, maybe this
