T3, T4 & TSH Explained: Thyroid Hormones, Symptoms & Food as Medicine
🦋 Do you really know what your thyroid test (T3, T4 & TSH) means?
Your thyroid is your body’s energy manager — controlling metabolism, mood, weight and even your digestion. Understanding these 3 hormones is the first step to taking charge of your thyroid health.
✨ T3 (Triiodothyronine) – The active hormone that fuels energy.
✨ T4 (Thyroxine) – The storage form that converts to T3 when needed.
✨ TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) – The “messenger” from your brain that keeps T3 & T4 in balance.
🌿 As a dietitian, I believe Food is Medicine. The right foods — rich in iodine, selenium, zinc, B-vitamins & magnesium — can naturally support your thyroid and keep these hormones in harmony.
