Thyroid Under-Conversion: A hidden cause of low thyroid symptoms

In this 29th episode we will discuss a rather common, yet rarely diagnosed thyroid mechanism capable of causing many symptoms of hypothyroidism. As I have explained in past episodes, the common evaluation of the thyroid system stops early with Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and neglects the entirety of the thyroid hormone cascade. Thyroid under-conversion patterns are rarely diagnosed simply because doctors just aren't looking (and insurance companies are not reimbursing). If you are one of the thousands of people who experience low thyroid symptoms such as weight gain, fatigue, dry skin, hair loss, constipation, depression, etc. and have been told that, "your lab tests are normal," this may be an episode for you!
