Thyroid Shorts 17: Does Everyone with Low T3 Need Medication?


Listen Later

Are you struggling with hypothyroid symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, or brain fog? Have you been told the reason is that you have "low T3"? Many patients are told the solution is simple: add T3 thyroid hormone replacement. But is that the truth? Is that the correct strategy?

In this Thyroid Answers Shorts episode, Dr. Eric Balcavage, functional medicine thyroid expert and host of the Thyroid Answers Podcast, explains: ✅ Why low T3 doesn't always mean you need medication ✅ How stress, inflammation, and the Cell Danger Response affect T4-to-T3 conversion ✅ Why simply adding T3 or desiccated thyroid may not fix your symptoms ✅ A new way to understand your thyroid labs through the Adaptive Thyroid Model™

📌 If you've ever been frustrated by normal labs but ongoing symptoms, this episode will give you the clarity you need.

👉 Subscribe for more insights on thyroid health, Hashimoto's disease, and functional medicine approaches that go beyond just managing lab numbers.
