If your doctor checked your thyroid and said it's fine, but you're still exhausted, bloated, constipated, and just feeling off, you're not imagining it. Most of the people I work with have a normal TSH and T4 on paper, and a very different story once we run the full thyroid panel.
Today we're getting into the gut-thyroid connection. I'm walking through what your doctor is actually testing, why your thyroid hormone can get stuck in a form your body can't use, and how your gut and your thyroid end up slowing each other down. Then I share the four steps I take with clients to break that loop.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
โข What TSH actually measures (and why it can look perfectly normal while your thyroid is struggling)
โข How T4 can turn into reverse T3, the inactive form that acts like the brakes on your metabolism
โข Why low stomach acid, H. pylori, SIBO, and gut inflammation can slow your thyroid down, even when your thyroid itself isn't the problem
โข How a sluggish thyroid can show up as constipation, bloating, and reflux that doesn't seem to follow any food pattern
โข The four steps I take with clients, starting with the full thyroid panel you should ask for (and why ordering a dozen thyroid supplements off Amazon isn't one of them)
