Description: Millions of people are told their thyroid is fine—yet they still suffer from fatigue, cold hands and feet, hair thinning, low libido, weight gain, and depression.

The importance of looking at Free T3, RT3, and T3/RT3 ratios

Key nutrients (like selenium, zinc, iron, and B12) that fuel proper thyroid function

How to support mitochondria, detox pathways, and reduce inflammation for better thyroid hormone action
