A whole gamut of tests for your thyroid! 12/23/2022

A whole gamut of tests for your thyroid! Is it enough to check your TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)? How about just adding the T4 (Thyroxine) hormone to the panel of tests? - If that is all you test, you have to assume that T4 is converting to T3 (in the serum), therefore driving the cell's metabolic machinery. Unfortunately, everyone's conversion happens at different rates! To know, you must assess T3 and the ratio of T3/T4 What if too much T4 has been converted to RT3 - and therefore even with normal T3 serum levels there may be a metabolic block to its action? To know this ratio, you must assess RT3 and the ratio of T3/RT3 Antibodies if you think you have Hashimoto's? Or if you already have another autoimmune disease like psoriasis or vitiligo or Type 1 Diabetes, Coeliac Disease, even pregnancy! Definitely need to test! Does this make sense or is it just gobbledygook? Listen to my latest episode as I explain ALL of the above! /episode/index/show/105cf0f7-088c-4d89-80ff-5cf80c36e861/id/25417314

TSH - is that all we need? Facts vs Fiction 12/22/2022

TSH - is that all we need? Facts vs Fiction Does TSH predict your thyroid function? Is it true that subclinical hypothyroidism should not be treated? Can TSH be used as the sole diagnostic criteria for thyroid dysfunction? Find out why it is not enough to just check your TSH levels like most practitioners do (because that was what we were taught in medical school) as TSH DOES NOT DEFINE your thyroid function. And when your TSH is in the 'normal range', but you still have symptoms of hypothyroidism such as fatigue, body aches, and brain fog...you NEED to investigate more! Learn more about the myths of TSH in my latest episode NOW! /episode/index/show/105cf0f7-088c-4d89-80ff-5cf80c36e861/id/25399467

Medications, Toxins and What do you really look for in HypoThyroidism? 12/13/2022

Medications, Toxins and What do you really look for in HypoThyroidism? Some medications affect the thyroid enzymes D1 and D2 that convert T4 to T3. Could you be taking one of them? At least 150 industrial chemicals have been shown to result in the reduction in TSH and/or T4. Work with the concept of TOTAL TOXIC LOAD instead of trying to find each individual toxin. What simple tips can you help to 'detoxify' your current environment and body?

What has Inflammation Infection and Dietary Factors got to do with hypothyroidism?

To Erb or Not to Erb! 09/18/2022

To Erb or Not to Erb! Herbs are medicinal plants that help the body adapt to stress or recover from stress. They also help improve endurance during fatigue. Which adaptogens to use though? Whether you have levels of high or low cortisol states?
