The Dr. Hyman Show · Is Your Thyroid the Hidden Root Cause of Your Health Issues? · 18 Nov 2024 podcast

That's very true. So if there was a major stress going on, you'd want to have that mechanism in place so you didn't starve to death. But with a lot of chronic stress, which we see a lot these days, we can sometimes see high reverse T3. And the other thing we see a lot that causes that high reverse T3 is sometimes toxins.

So it can be a sign that we've got to look deeper and say, okay, is this person under a lot of chronic stress? How is their adrenal gland functioning? How are they, are they working to activate that parasympathetic nervous system, that calming nervous system, which helps the body heal. And then we look for toxins.

I'm not sure why they don't look at them enough. But the antibodies are giving us a signal that the body is attacking its own thyroid. And it's a sign that there's autoimmune disease going on in the body. And we've got to figure out that question. Why is that? Why is that going on? So I had a woman who came in to see me.

And she was 40, and she had been struggling with all those symptoms we talked about with low thyroid. She was cold all the time, her hands were cold, she was gaining weight, she was tired, she was constipated, she was losing hair, her eyebrows were thinning.

I know, right? So I'm like, okay. But then her primary doctor did her TSH, and it was normal. So we then went deeper.

Right, and many, many studies are saying people between one and two feel the best, right?

And I think that's really important. And the physician sometimes thinks, well, I'll just wait until these antibodies damage the thyroid enough, and then I'll treat. That's the way they, you know. I'm gonna wait until, but we say, okay, no, there's so much we can do. There's so much we can do right away.
