Still Tired on Thyroid Medication? Hashimoto's, TSH, and T3
from Med Matrix Method · host Med Matrix
Taking thyroid medication every day, told your labs are normal, and still exhausted, foggy and cold? Dr. Sasha Rose goes past TSH.She covers what levothyroxine and Synthroid actually replace, why your body still has to convert T4 into active T3, and what reverse T3 does when it competes for the same receptor spots. She explains Hashimoto's and thyroid antibodies, which account for roughly 75 to 85 percent of hypothyroid cases, and walks through the fuller panel she runs: TSH, free T4, free T3, thyroid antibodies, reverse T3, iron and ferritin, vitamin D and B12.She also gets into whether the medication is being absorbed at all, the nutrients conversion depends on, and how she tracks progress using energy, brain fog, cold tolerance, digestion, hair, mood and sleep alongside the labs.For educational purposes only.
