Episode notes
INSIGHT

Outdated Treatment

  • Conventional thyroid treatment focuses on managing the disease, not the root cause.
  • Restoring blood hormone levels doesn't guarantee cellular thyroid function.
ADVICE

Comprehensive Thyroid Testing

  • Run a comprehensive thyroid panel including total and free T4, T3, reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies.
  • Consider thyroid antibodies as indicators of inflammation and immune response trends.
INSIGHT

Antibody Role

  • Thyroid antibodies don't directly damage the thyroid gland.
  • They're part of the cleanup crew after damage by lymphocytes (white blood cells).
