Are you still dragging through the day with that lingering fatigue, brain fog, or stubborn weight gain—even though you're faithfully taking your thyroid meds? Could the missing piece be T3?

In this episode, we dive into the enduring T3 debate: is synthetic levothyroxine (T4) enough, or could adding T3—or going with natural desiccated thyroid (NDT)—be the key to finally feeling like yourself again?

We’ll explore:

• How T4-only therapy became the standard—and why it doesn’t always deliver relief

• What groundbreaking research reveals about T4 vs. T4+T3 vs. NDT—including why nearly half of patients prefer NDT, and how a significant number experience symptom relief when T3 is included 

• The science behind hormone conversion—and why not everyone effectively turns T4 into the active T3 their bodies need 

• Real-world challenges: navigating insurance, finding T3-friendly doctors, and mastering safe dosing timing to avoid overstimulation or sleep interference 

Why listen? If you’re managing hypothyroidism and T4 alone isn’t cutting it, this episode gives you the insight—and empowerment—you need to talk options with your provider and reclaim your vitality.

🎧 Tune in—and ask yourself: what if the missing piece has been right in front of you?
