Step 4: Block THyroid Medication Absorption
Example:
You're in chronic pain so you are taking narcotics which is impacting your mood and you now have depression. So you are on an anti-depression.

Then you end up experiencing constipation or acid reflux so then you get on acid blockers, fiber etc.
So we need to be careful how we are taking medication
Medication:
Cholestyramine (functional medicine is a binder)
Acid blockers
