Happy Thyroid Tips.Balance Your Underactive Thyroid Naturally

Basic Thyroid Information

 

The thyroid secretes hormones with funny names like T4 and T3.

triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4)

Thyroid hormones have 2 basic components.

  • Amino Acid Tyrosine
  • Iodine 

T4 is Tyrosine with 4 iodine molecules. It is the inactive hormone.

T3 is the active form and can be used immediately by the cells.

Without some basic nutrients, the thyroid doesn’t work well.

The two we listed so far:

  • tyrosine
  • Iodine

We will discuss many more.

Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism means too little thyroid hormone.

Also called underactive thyroid.

Symptoms according to NIDDK 

Some common symptoms of hypothyroidism are:

  • fatigue
  • weight gain
  • a puffy face
  • cold intolerance
  • joint and muscle pain
  • constipation
  • dry skin
  • dry, thinning hair
  • decreased sweating
  • heavy or irregular menstrual periods and impaired fertility
  • depression
  • slowed heart rate

    T4 is the inactive form.

  •  

    T4 is the inactive form. 

     

  • T4 has to be converted into the active form T3.

     

  • This conversation happens in the liver (80% of the time, and kidneys, 20%)

     

  • How healthy is your liver?

Get Your Thyroid Tested!

  • Have your thyroid function properly evaluated with a COMPLETE Thyroid Panel (Free T3, Free, T4, TSH, thyroid antibodies, Reverse T3).
  • You may need medication and if you do, I recommend desiccated thyroid medication along with following the recommendations below.
  • If you doctor will not order all of these tests (they often only order TSH which is inadequate), then you can order your own lab testing from DirectLabs.
