🌿 Optimizing Thyroid Health — Naturally

At Natural Meda, we believe thyroid health is about more than just medication. Supporting your thyroid means nourishing it with the right nutrients and lifestyle choices.

💧 Iodine — Essential for thyroid hormone production. Try adding seaweed snacks or using iodized salt in moderation.

🌰 Selenium — Just 2–4 Brazil nuts a day can provide what your thyroid needs (but don’t overdo it — too much can be toxic!).

🥩 Iron + Vitamin C — Keep iron levels optimal to prevent “reverse T3” buildup, which can block thyroid function. Pair iron-rich foods like red meat with vitamin C sources like bell peppers for better absorption.

🦪 Zinc — Another key player for thyroid function. Oysters are an excellent source.

This is just a starting point — but these simple, nutrient-rich habits can make a powerful difference in supporting your thyroid naturally.

✨ Your body thrives when it’s nourished with balance, not just medication.

🔬 Understanding the Sleep Cycle: Your Key to Better Rest! 😴

Did you know that sleep isn’t just about closing your eyes? Your body goes through a fascinating 4-stage cycle that repairs muscles, consolidates memory, and boosts brain function! 🧠✨

🌙 Wake Stage – You’re still alert, with active alpha & beta waves.
💤 Stage 1 (Non-REM) – A light doze where your body starts relaxing.
🌡️ Stage 2 (Non-REM) – Heart rate slows, temperature drops, and brain waves shift.
🌊 Stage 3 (Non-REM Deep Sleep) – Your deepest, most restorative sleep with delta waves.
🌈 REM Sleep – The dream state! Your brain is highly active, and this stage is crucial for memory and learning.

🛑 But here’s the problem… Over 1 in 3 adults don’t get enough sleep, according to the CDC! Contrary to popular belief, your sleep needs do NOT decrease with age. Experts recommend at least 7 hours per night for adults, cycling through these stages 4-6 times.

💡 Why You Might Still Feel Tired on Thyroid Medication

Many of our patients come to us already diagnosed with hypothyroidism and taking Levothyroxine (T4) — yet they still don’t feel better.

Here’s why 👇

Levothyroxine is a synthetic T4 hormone, which is actually the inactive form of thyroid hormone. For it to work properly, your body has to convert T4 into T3, the active form that fuels your energy, mood, focus, hair, skin, and metabolism.

The issue? Many people don’t convert efficiently — and most conventional providers don’t test for it. Typical lab panels only look at TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) and sometimes T4, missing crucial markers like:

⚡️ Free T3: the active hormone that drives energy and metabolism

🦋 Reverse T3: the “blocking” hormone that can mimic hypothyroid symptoms even when your TSH looks normal

That’s why so many patients are told their labs look “fine,” but they still feel exhausted, foggy, and off balance.

✨ Functional medicine takes a deeper look — testing the full thyroid picture so you can finally start feeling like yourself again.

💊 HRT Saves Lives Where Other Common Drugs Fall Short 💊

The evidence is undeniable: Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) outperforms statins and aspirin when it comes to protecting women’s lives.

🫀 HRT reduces death & heart disease by 30–50%
🚫 Statins show no survival benefit for women
❌ Aspirin fails to prevent heart disease in women
🎯 HRT is tailored, not generic—it targets the root hormonal changes of menopause
⚠️ Despite the evidence, doctors still under-prescribe HRT, leaving millions unprotected
👩‍⚕️ No other common therapy offers women the same survival advantage

⚡ Bottom line: HRT isn’t just symptom relief—it’s the most effective, life-saving therapy available for women.

🌿 Understanding Thyroid Treatment in Functional Medicine

When it comes to thyroid health, naturopathic and functional medicine take a more comprehensive and personalized approach than conventional care.

We start with in-depth lab testing—not just TSH, but also T3, T4, reverse T3, and sometimes antibodies—to get a full picture of how your thyroid is functioning.

Unlike conventional providers who typically prescribe Levothyroxine (T4), we often look for treatments that better mirror your body’s natural balance. Since T4 is an inactive form, your body must convert it to T3, the active hormone that drives energy and metabolism.

That’s why we may recommend NP Thyroid or thyroid desiccated medications, which contain both T3 and T4. This physiological blend often helps patients experience more energy, improved mood, and better overall well-being.

✨ It’s all about supporting your body’s natural rhythm for optimal thyroid health.

🌸 Let’s talk menopause — and how to actually feel like you again.

At Natural Med Doc, one of the most common questions we get is:
👉 “What therapies are available for menopause symptoms?”

The most effective and well-researched option? Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).
Many women receive what Dr. Garcia lovingly calls “the works” — progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone — for a full-spectrum approach to symptom relief. 💪

But everyone’s journey is different. Some start with just one hormone, others combine BHRT with natural options like wild yam, red clover, or maca. 🌿
Our care is never cookie-cutter — it’s personalized, guided by your labs, your goals, and how you want to feel.

✨ Whether you’re struggling with sleep, hot flashes, or mood changes, there are solutions — and we’ll help you find the right fit.

💬 Drop your menopause questions below — we love helping women feel empowered through every stage of life.
