Youāre told, āYour TSH is normal. Youāre fine.ā Meanwhile youāre exhausted, constipated, anxious, gaining weight, losing hair, and wondering if itās just āstress.ā
Letās be clear: Medication can be life-changing and necessary for many people. AND⦠itās not the only lever.
There are so many nutritional and lifestyle factors that influence thyroid function:
⨠Adequate protein (hello, amino acids for hormone production)
⨠Selenium + zinc (required for T4 to T3 conversion)
⨠Iron status (low ferritin = poor thyroid hormone utilization)
⨠Blood sugar balance (because cortisol suppresses thyroid signaling)
⨠Gut health (about 20% of T4 to T3 conversion happens in the gut)
⨠Reducing inflammation + supporting detox pathways
⨠Healing leaky gut + addressing dysbiosis (autoimmunity, anyone?)
So, if youāre only testing TSH⦠weāre missing most of the story.
A full thyroid panel should include:
āļø TSH
āļø Free T4
āļø Free T3
āļø Reverse T3
āļø TPO + Tg antibodies
