The Vagus Nerve–Thyroid Connection: Why Low T3 Isn't Always a Thyroid Problem


Listen Later

If your thyroid labs are "normal" but you still feel tired, inflamed, puffy, slow, or stuck in a metabolic plateau… this episode is for you.

Coach Debbie Potts pulls back the curtain on one of the most overlooked root causes of low thyroid symptoms in midlife: vagus nerve dysfunction.

Inside this deep-dive episode, Debbie explains how chronic stress, gut dysbiosis, LPS, H. pylori, low stomach acid, sluggish bile, and mitochondrial dysfunction can block thyroid hormone activation — even if you're taking T3 medication.

You'll learn:

• How vagus nerve dysfunction suppresses digestion and nutrient absorption • Why low vagal tone reduces T4 → T3 conversion in the liver and gut • How inflammation, LPS, and stress physiology increase Reverse T3 • Why your cells can't "hear" thyroid hormone when mitochondria are under stress • The link between HRV, autonomic balance, and metabolic flexibility • Debbie's personal case study using GI-MAP, MEScreen, HRV tracking, and blood chemistry • How she used Pulsetto Vagus Nerve Stimulation to restore parasympathetic tone

If you're doing "all the right things" but still can't lose weight, build muscle, recover well, or feel like yourself… your thyroid may not be the real problem. Your cellular environment might be.
