T3 Therapy: Is It Helping or Hurting?

T3 thyroid hormone can help restore energy and metabolism—but it doesn’t always work as expected.

On this week’s Goodself Live, I’m sharing:
✔️ Why some patients feel worse on T3
✔️ How timing, stress, and nutrient imbalances affect results
✔️ What to do when labs say “normal” but you still feel terrible

Ever wonder how your blood sugar responds to your meals, workouts, or stress?

A CGM (continuous glucose monitor) gives you real-time insights into how your body processes glucose and how you can fix the patterns keeping you stuck.

This Tuesday at 12:30PM CT I’m going live on Goodself to explain:
> What a CGM can tell you that labs can’t
> How blood sugar spikes and dips affect your energy, cravings, and weight
> Why I use CGMs even in patients without diabetes

Still tired or foggy but your labs are ‘normal’? Reverse T3 could be to blame. It’s measurable. And it matters.

My 5 core Labs show whether your body is actually using thyroid hormone correctly + the ratio your doctor probably missed.

Hey everyone! It’s Dr. Gibbs here! As we gear up to relaunch the Master Your Metabolism group program, I’d love to hear from you about what you'd like to focus on this time around.

Previously, we concentrated on blood sugar and insulin management with a Continuous Glucose Monitor, along with diet education. This time, I’m considering a new direction for the upcoming session starting in September.

I want to tailor the program to your interests, so let me know which topic you’re most excited about in a small group setting with weekly Zoom meetings. Your feedback will help shape the focus of the program. Plus, I’m exploring the idea of making this a continuous membership with rotating topics, available to both patients and non-patients.

Here are the options—please vote for your favorite topic using the link below:

-How to Control Insulin Resistance and Blood Sugar (Weight Loss)
- Perimenopause and Menopause
- Hashimoto’s Disease and Hypothyroidism
- Maximizing Your OTC Supplements’ Effectiveness

Have you been part of one of my groups before? Your input will help us decide whether to continue with the CGM program or dive into something new. Fill out the survey now and let me know what you think! You can also drop a comment below ☺️

I meet a lot of people trying to move the needle on women's health!
From my friend Rachel Rubin:
I hear so many stories of women not getting the right care and advice. Turns out even celebrities and influencers are not getting evidence based options presented to them.

So many people are needlessly suffering.

(At a recent event I attended,) there was no shortage of beautiful people, botox treatments, high fashion...but when I asked (and I asked everyone) I heard about hot flashes, crappy sleep, anxiety, and sexual dysfunction.

This has gotten me thinking a lot about self care and what it actually means.

Especially since I turn 40 next month and realize that I've only just started understanding this.

What if instead of massages and manicures, self care looked like people investing in their bodies.

Investing in...
eating healthy food
strength training
mental health
building relationships
and of course - sexual health

We all deserve this!
