Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. So in this video I'm going to answer a question relating to not having a thyroid.

Someone wanted to know my opinion on if there's any long-term complications, etc.

This is not going to bypass what you're already taking now.

Check with your doctor before implementing any of this, and this is just

for your own research, okay? Now over the years I've had quite a few people come to my office

after having a thyroidectomy and they did just fine. So out of all the things that

could happen to a person and all the potential organs that you can have removed, I

think having thyroid out and being on a certain hormone protocol you could do quite fine okay so the

thyroid is ultimately controlled by the hypotheramus in the brain it's a very small

structure it makes a hormone called thyroid-releasing

hormone. And this gland tells this gland, the pituitary, to release thyroid-stimulating

hormone.

And then that message goes into the thyroid

and causes the thyroid to produce and release T4

and a little bit of T3. Okay. Now, T4 and a little bit of T3. Okay. Now T4 is an inactive thyroid hormone. T3 is the active

version and what happens is for this to work it has to be converted into T3. So it actually

works through several organs, two being the liver and the kidneys. 80% of the T4 is converted through the liver,

20% is converted through the kidney to make T3.
