563. The Hidden Cancer Risk of T4 and Why Conversion to T3 Can Save Your Life


Listen Later

What happens when too much T4 builds up in the body—and could it actually raise your risk of cancer? I’m digging into the latest studies that suggest a connection between high free T4 levels and cancer progression, and breaking down what this really means for anyone on thyroid medication. You’ll hear why the issue isn’t the pill itself, but the dosing, the conversion to T3, and how reverse T3 plays a hidden role in slowing down your entire system.

I’ll explain how T4 can mimic estrogen in certain cancers, why reverse T3 puts your body into “hibernation mode,” and the essential nutrients that can protect your thyroid and keep conversion running smoothly. If you’ve ever wondered whether your thyroid meds could be hurting you instead of helping—or if you want clarity on how to lower risk and finally feel better—this conversation will give you the answers you’ve been searching for.
