And so I think it's important to share that even I was resistant because I didn't want to take a medication every day. But I happily take said medication every day because it has made such a significant difference. Now, did I go from, you know, having brain fog and not feeling great and not having energy to instantly losing weight? Absolutely not, because it's like peeling an onion.

You have to keep peeling and peeling and peeling. But I think for a lot of individuals that are listening to this that suspect they might have an underactive thyroid, everything slows down in the body. So you get constipated. Your cycles may change. You may have dry skin. You may feel like you're not mentating well, meaning you're just not feeling like you're as clear cognitively.

People may have slowed heart rate. They may have brittle nails. There's a lot of things that can happen. Everything slows down. And so for a lot of individuals, it's getting tested to figure out what's going on.

And so the types of tests that I recommend, TSH, which is thyroid secreting hormone, looking at a free T3 and a free T4, that's the actual, especially the T3 is important because that's the actual active form of the hormone. Looking at reverse T3, which sometimes the allopathic community screams about. It can be a sign if you're dealing with chronic stress, if that is high.

Looking at antibodies, super important to look at antibodies because just like I mentioned earlier, the number one reason women will develop an underactive thyroid is related to Hashimoto's. Now, I've never had a positive antibody, but I do have Hashimoto's. So I think for a lot of people, it's helping them understand, like, why do we get more susceptible to autoimmunity as we get older?

It goes back to that immune system dysregulation that happens with those sex hormone changes in middle age. And women are much more likely to develop autoimmune conditions just by virtue of our gender.

We tend to have a more hyper responsive immune system, which is what protects the fetus when we're pregnant, but also can be problematic as we're getting older because our immune system just tends to be more easily provoked. And so when I think about thyroid function, it's helping people understand there are far more people undertreated for thyroid than should be the case.
