Episode notes
Confirm Labs Before Lifelong Thyroid Treatment
- Lab-based diagnosis matters more than symptoms for hypothyroidism; many are started on meds prematurely.
- A JAMA meta-analysis found ~37% of patients could stop thyroid meds and remain normal, so confirm labs before lifelong treatment.
Hashimoto's Often Doesn’t Cause Hypothyroidism
- Hashimoto's autoimmunity is common but doesn't always cause hypothyroidism; about 75% remain euthyroid.
- Use TPO antibodies and ultrasound to assess Hashimoto's; Tg antibodies are unreliable for diagnosis.
Improve Gut Health To Support Thyroid Function
- Improve gut health regardless of thyroid medication status because it affects autoimmunity and symptom overlap.
- Address gut issues to improve absorption of thyroid meds and reduce fatigue, brain fog, and inflammatory symptoms.
