Beyond the Thyroid – Episode 29: The Thyroid Test You’re Not Getting (But Should Be)

If you’ve been told your thyroid labs are “normal” but still feel tired, foggy, or unable to lose weight—this episode is for you.

In Episode 29 of Beyond the Thyroid, Dr. Dana Gibbs uncovers the total T3 to reverse T3 (T3/RT3) ratio—a powerful but overlooked marker that can reveal hidden thyroid dysfunction. She explains how this ratio offers insights that standard labs often miss, especially in patients with chronic fatigue, weight issues, or brain fog.

You’ll learn how chronic stress, inflammation, and poor sleep can skew this ratio and what steps you can take to correct it. Dr. Gibbs also introduces her new Thyroid Clarity Checkup program, designed to help patients uncover the real cause of their symptoms and get on a path to true healing.
