Thyroid health is crucially important yet often misunderstood and poorly treated in conventional medicine, leaving millions suffering with symptoms while being told they're "normal."
• The thyroid is the "master gland" controlling metabolism, energy, brain function, heart rate, digestion, and emotional well-being
• Conventional medicine considers TSH up to 4.5 "normal" while functional medicine seeks levels below 2.0 for optimal function
• Only about 2% of thyroid patients do well on T4-only medications like Synthroid; 98% need combination therapy with T3
• Thyroidectomy patients especially need T3 supplementation since the thyroid gland is a primary site for T4 to T3 conversion
