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

- dry, thinning hair

T4 is the inactive form.

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.
