I would recommend you check out Dr. David Brownstein on thyroid and how iodine can help thyroid and why we need it.

If the HPTA shuts down from sensing high estrogen then would it not be sensible to use a AI to crush estrogen to the bottom of reference range to preserve best chance for fertility???? Further more is it possible to prevent or partially prevent shut down by keeping estrogen low???

Reverse T3 is often never talked about or even mentioned in a typical clinical setting but one should discuss it with their endocrinologist then have it tested as it indicates what the T4 hormones are converting into; active T3 or Reverse T3. But be prepared to shell out more as it is a costly procedure done by private labs; as what I've been informed by my own endo.

It's always good to have conversations about important health markers like Reverse T3 with your healthcare provider.

I’m sure this will resolve once they sort out the hormones levels both steroidal and peptide hormones which are your baseline sex hormones and thyroid being the peptide hormon.

Which medications are good for tyroid

@balancemyhormones 2 ай бұрын

There are several medications that are commonly used to treat thyroid conditions. It's important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the best option for you.

@NYGuy2000 2 ай бұрын

Excellent podcast! Three comments: There are T3 receptors in the Leydig cells, so low thyroid hormones can lead to low testosterone. As Dave said, start checking thyroid hormones first before you touch testosterone. Second, unlike with testosterone, small amounts of exogenous thyroid hormones do not trigger the negative feedback loop (wouldn't we wish this with testosterone?!). Larger amounts do, though. Third, there is a link between hypothyroidism and low DHEA. Improving one can improve the other. You need to find out which was off (often, both).
