With a lively discussion prompted by community questions and personal experiences, they shed light on the connections between thyroid function, adrenal health, and the ability to breathe deeply. Air hunger, described as the struggle to draw in a complete breath, is a distressing sensation that can often be attributed to thyroid dysfunction. Missy and Stacey discuss how air hunger may be misdiagnosed as asthma or anxiety disorder. They also explore the physiological underpinnings of these symptoms, linking them to inadequate levels of T3— the active form of thyroid hormone—and adrenal health.
