Thyroid Power Part 1: Signs and Symptoms of Hypothyroidism and Labs to Test Thyroid Health

Welcome back to Dr. Jones’s Optimization Academy where I interview some of my favorite innovators in Medicine, Health, Fitness, and Beyond!    Today’s guest is Dr. Westin Childs from Restart Med.   Dr. Childs is an osteopathic physician who specializes in helping people improve their health through balancing their hormones.  Dr. Childs strongly believes that the key to leading a long healthy life is by keeping your hormones (testosterone, estrogen, thyroid hormone, and cortisol) in check and at their optimal levels.  His goal is to help over 1 million people feel better and impact their lives in a positive way.  

Dr. Childs is working towards this goal through constant updates on his podcast and website, through the formulation of high-quality supplements and by providing people with the information they need to take action. I consider Dr. Childs and his website one of the greatest online resources on thyroid and hormone health and I’m honored to have him as a guest.  

In today’s episode, we are discussing how to recognize thyroid dysfunction, what tests you doctor should be ordering, and where thyroid problems come from.  

In this episode, we discuss the following topics and more: 

• Overt and subtle signs of underactive thyroid/hypothyroidism 
• Traditional testing vs comprehensive thyroid testing 
• Root causes of thyroid dysfunction
