Beyond the Thyroid – Episode 34: I’m on Levothyroxine and My Labs Are Normal – Why Do I Still Feel Terrible?

Are you on Levothyroxine but still feeling exhausted, foggy, or unwell — even though your labs are “normal”? You’re not alone.

In this episode of Beyond the Thyroid, Dr. Dana Gibbs dives into the reasons why standard thyroid care often leaves patients struggling. She explains how issues like poor T4-to-T3 conversion, inconsistent medication timing, adrenal dysfunction, and other coexisting conditions can keep you from feeling your best.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why TSH alone isn’t enough to measure thyroid health
• How to identify and address T4-to-T3 conversion problems
• The importance of consistent medication timing
• Common nutrient deficiencies and conditions that mimic thyroid symptoms
• How advanced testing can uncover hidden imbalances

Dr. Gibbs also shares details about her upcoming Thyroid Clarity Checkup program — designed to give you the insights and action plan you need to finally feel better.
