Early research suggests that up to 30% of thyroid patients currently taking thyroid medication may not need it. That's great and all but what does that mean for you? How can you tell if you are in that lucky 30%? Well, if you've ever wondered about that I've got some good news for you:

We have some signs that, if present, indicate that you have a higher likelihood of getting off of your thyroid medication. In addition to these positive signs, we also have some negative ones as well and today I'm going to go over both.

Before we jump in, you should be aware that this data is still emerging so it's subject to change as we get more information. If it does change then you can bet I will provide you with that updated information but, for now, this is what we have.

These positive signs indicate you have a higher likelihood of getting off and staying off of thyroid medication:

- If you've been using thyroid medication for less than 4 years.
- If you had a normal free T4 on diagnosis.
- If your current TSH is less than 1.8.
- If you are taking a low dose of thyroid medication (usually less than 50 mcg).
- If you are a woman (women are 2x more likely to get off their thyroid medication).

These are unfavorable signs:

- If you have a heterogenous thyroid on ultrasound.
- If you have positive thyroid peroxidase antibodies with diffuse echogenicity on thyroid ultrasound.
- If your TSH was greater than 8 at the time of diagnosis.
- If your treated TSH is greater than 9.
- If you were diagnosed at a young age.
- If you had a positive thyroglobulin antibody level at the time of diagnosis.

The presence or absence of any of these signs doesn't guarantee anything so don't get discouraged if you have a lot of negative signs and few positive signs.

#thyroid #hypothyroidism #hashimoto's

T2 thyroid hormone, also known as 3,5 diiodo-l-thyronine, is gaining a lot of attention among thyroid patients, and for good reason.

As far as thyroid hormones are concerned, T2 plays a major role in regulating metabolism, cholesterol metabolism, and heat production, making it the ideal treatment if you are suffering from hypothyroid-related weight gain as well as high cholesterol.

For this reason, many thyroid patients are wondering if it's right for them and they've been asking a lot of questions:

Is T2 thyroid hormone safe?
What are the side effects?
And should I try it?

Well, this video is going to shed light on all of those.

First, we have no reason to suspect that T2 thyroid hormone is harmful because thyroid patients have been using it for over 70 years. This is because T2 is found in small amounts in NDT thyroid medications like Armour thyroid.

What about side effects? Based on the over 10,000 thyroid patients who have used my T2 supplement, here's what I've found:

Roughly 70-75% see some benefit when taking it. Roughly 5-10% see no discernable benefit and roughly 10-15% of patients see some minor negative side effect when taking it.

So, should you give T2 a try? That depends on how you are feeling.

If you are a thyroid patient who is currently feeling lousy despite taking your thyroid medication every day then, yeah, giving it a try may be a good idea.

In addition, if you are a thyroid patient suffering from the inability to lose weight then that's another reason to consider giving it a try.

Having trouble getting iodine supplements into your body? If so, this episode is for you. While most people who take iodine supplements will have absolutely no issues, there are a handful of people who may experience negative side effects.

But what causes these side effects? Why do some people react negatively to something that your body needs and uses on a daily basis?

Even though iodine is required to produce thyroid hormone, there are some situations in which it may result in unwanted symptoms.

There is always an answer for these symptoms, though, so don't blame iodine right away! Often, the cause is not iodine itself but other problems that already exist in your body.

Here are some symptoms that patients may experience while taking iodine supplements:

- Acne-like pustules
- Racing heart
- Sweating
- Headaches
- Fatigue
- Changes to your weight
- Nausea
- Stomach pain
- Metallic taste in the mouth
- Joint pain or muscle pain
- Changes to your hair, skin, or nails
- Thyroid gland pain
- Swelling in the neck
- Other symptoms of hyperthyroidism
- Other symptoms of hypothyroidism

Iodine can have an impact on thyroid function so it shouldn't come as a surprise that some people who use iodine notice changes in their thyroid!

These changes can result in symptoms ranging from hyperthyroidism (rare) to worsening hypothyroidism (rare) and even detox reactions like acne from the elimination of halides.

The good news is that there is an explanation for these side effects and they aren't all bad.

Have you had issues in taking iodine supplements? If so, let me know below!

#thyroid #hypothyroidism #hashimoto's

The side effects of stopping thyroid medication abruptly and why I never recommend this route. If you want to stop taking your thyroid medication then make sure to do it correctly and safely.

Is it safe to stop taking your thyroid medication? The answer is no for several reasons which I will explain here.

But first, we need to talk about why you are taking thyroid medication, to begin with.

Thyroid medication is prescribed to those people who are deficient in thyroid hormone (meaning their body isn't producing enough).

So if you were to stop taking your thyroid medication then your body would revert back to whatever it was capable of producing before you started taking thyroid medication.

This process usually results in certain symptoms including:

- Hair loss
- Weight gain
- Depression
- Increased pain
- Increased fatigue
- And other symptoms of hypothyroidism

But why do you experience these symptoms?

These 4 reasons will help you understand why you will most likely feel worse if you do:

#1. Your body may be reliant upon thyroid medication.
If you've had your thyroid removed or if it's been destroyed by radioactive iodine then you may not be able to produce thyroid hormone on your own. In this case, you will be required to take thyroid hormone.

#2. Your HPT axis may be blunted.
Taking thyroid medication blunts the normal HPT axis in your body and it can take weeks to months for this system to recover. During this period you will most likely feel very poorly.

#3. Your body may not be able to produce thyroid hormone by itself.
Conditions such as Hashimoto's damage the thyroid gland and even though you may be able to produce some thyroid hormone you may not be able to produce enough to sustain yourself.

#4. Thyroid supplements do not replace thyroid medication.
Lastly, you want to make sure that you use supplements to compliment your medication but not to replace it. Supplements can help improve natural conversion and production of thyroid hormone but they aren't as powerful as thyroid medications.

#thyroid #hypothyroidism #hashimoto's

Do you feel like your thyroid medication just isn't working as it should? Do you still have symptoms of low thyroid even though you are taking your thyroid medication faithfully? It could be that your dose is just not high enough and that you need to increase it.

This problem is actually more common than you might think.

It's been estimated that as many as 25-30% of thyroid patients may be taking too much thyroid medication at any given time. We don't know the numbers for how many people are not taking enough but it's probably safe to assume that it's at least equal to the number of people taking too much.

This promotes a big problem for thyroid patients because you simply won't feel better if your dose is not sufficient.

The good news? There are ways to determine just based on your symptoms if your dose is too low.

Let's talk about those right now.

Signs that your thyroid medication dose is too low include:

#1. Gaining weight despite taking your thyroid medication every day
#2. Fatigue that is getting worse or doesn’t get better
#3. Hair loss that either gets worse or persists
#4. Continued constipation (may get slightly better or worse)
#5. Cold intolerance that persists
#6. Continued menstrual problems (may also get worse with some thyroid medication)
#7. Depression and/or anxiety that persists or get worse
#8. Pain in the joints/muscles
#9. Dry skin

Do you feel that your dose of thyroid medication is optimized? Or do you think it needs to be adjusted?

How To Take Synthroid Properly | Best Way To Take Levothyroxine Correctly | When To Take Thyroid Medication After Eating

Levothyroxine is a medicine used to treat an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism) which affects 1 in 70 women and 1 in 1,000 men in the UK.

The thyroid gland makes thyroid hormone which helps to control energy levels and growth. Levothyroxine is taken to replace the missing thyroid hormone.

KEY FACTS:
• Levothyroxine starts working straight away, but it may be several weeks before your symptoms start to improve.
• The most common side effects of levothyroxine are caused by taking a bigger dose than you need. Your doctor can lower your dose to help reduce any side effects.
• Before you start taking levothyroxine, your healthcare professional will do a blood test to see what dose you need. Once you start taking the medicine you'll have regular blood tests to see how well it’s working.

HOW AND WHEN TO TAKE:
• Unless told otherwise by your prescriber or healthcare professional take levothyroxine once a day in the morning, ideally at least 30-60 minutes before having breakfast or a drink containing caffeine like tea or coffee.
• Both breakfast and caffeinated drinks can stop your body taking in levothyroxine properly so it doesn't work as well.
• If you can't take it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach take levothyroxine at least 2 hours after eating food.
• If you buy any medicines, check with a pharmacist that they are safe to take with levothyroxine. Levothyroxine should not be taken at the same time as indigestion remedies or preparations containing calcium or iron (which are contained in some vitamin products). These types of medicines reduce the amount of levothyroxine absorbed by your body. Leave at least 2-4 hours between taking your dose of levothyroxine and any such preparation.
• Soya interferes with thyroxine absorption, therefore if you are taking thyroxine you should try to avoid soya. If you wish to take soya, there should be as long a time interval as possible between eating the soya and taking the thyroxine.
• Avoid products such as kelp, as they may interfere with thyroid function & wellbeing. Kelp is derived from seaweed and is naturally high in iodine. Because of this it is sometimes marketed as a "thyroid booster" and can be purchased in dry preparations and tablets. As with iodine itself, it is of no health benefit to those with thyroid disease.
• Levothyroxine medication interactions link - https://bnf.nice.org.uk/intera....ction/levothyroxine. (THIS LINK ONLY WORKS IF YOU LIVE IN THE UK.
-Here's an alternative, pop in all your medicines and check for specific interactions- https://www.drugs.com/drug_interactions.html

BLOOD TESTS:
Your healthcare professional will do regular blood tests to check the levels of thyroid hormones in your body before and after starting levothyroxine. These will allow your doctor to adjust your dose to suit you.

At the start of treatment you can expect to have blood tests often. Once your hormone levels are stable, you’ll usually have a blood test after 4 to 6 months, and after that once a year.

You may need blood tests more often if you:

• Are pregnant
• Start or stop a medicine that can interfere with levothyroxine
• Have any symptoms that could mean your dose is not quite right

MISSED DOSES:
If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it's almost time for your next dose. In which case just skip the forgotten dose. Do not take 2 doses together to make up for a missed dose.

If you forget doses often, it may help to set an alarm to remind you. You could also ask your pharmacist for advice on other ways to help you remember to take your medicine.

0:00 Introduction: Synthroid® for hypothyroidism
0:20 Side effects of Synthroid
1:02 Understanding common treatments for hypothyroidism
6:33 Learn more about what causes thyroid problems!

Let's talk about hypothyroidism and how it's typically treated.

Treating hypothyroidism with medications like Synthroid can create a dependency on the drug.

A potential side effect of taking Synthroid long-term, especially if a person is post-menopausal, is an increased risk of bone loss.

The thyroid produces more than one hormone, but people are typically treated with only one hormone. So, what about the other hormones?

You need these hormones—they are important for a healthy body. A lack of these essential hormones can lead to various symptoms, like bone loss.

You may want to talk to your doctor about Armour® Thyroid. Armour Thyroid comes from a natural source and contains more than one thyroid hormone.

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps you better understand common treatments for hypothyroidism. I’ll see you in the next video.

Why Tirosint beats levothyroxine for treating low thyroid in hypothyroid and low thyroid patients.

Levothyroxine is one of the most commonly prescribed medications to treat low thyroid conditions in the United States and around the world.

Unfortunately, it isn't the best medication for the job!

In fact, if you are reading this then you probably know what I am talking about. Are you taking levothyroxine and still dealing with issues such as brain fog, weight gain, constipation, hair loss, etc.?

If so, you may be one of the many thyroid patients out there who simply don't respond well to levothyroxine.

Does this mean hope is lost? No!

This is where Tirosint steps in.

Tirosint is VERY similar to levothyroxine in that it contains the same ACTIVE ingredients but it differs in its inactive ingredients.

This small distinction makes a huge difference in how it can make you feel.

Let's talk about 3 reasons why I think that Tirosint is far superior to levothyroxine:

#1. It's cleaner
Tirosint only has 3 inactive ingredients and 1 active ingredient (thyroxine). You can compare this to levothyroxine which contains many different inactive ingredients, dyes, and fillers. These dyes and fillers can cause a lot of problems for certain people.

#2. It's absorbed easier compared to levothyroxine.
Some studies even show that you can safely take Tirosint with food and STILL absorb it without any issue.

The fewer inactive ingredients found in Tirosint mean it's easier for it to get into your body.

#3. It's easier to take.
Because it's in a gel cap (it's liquid-based) it is not only easier for your gut to absorb it, it can also be taken via the sublingual route.

Taking your thyroid medication sublingually increases absorption and helps you feel better.

In addition, it can also potentially be taken with food which may work better for many people with tight schedules.

Are you taking Tirosint? If so, leave your experience below!

Changing the time of day that to take your thyroid medication can improve its effectiveness and reduce your thyroid symptoms. If you are like most thyroid patients then you are probably taking your thyroid medication first thing in the morning.

But what if I told you there's nothing magical about this time of day? While that's the standard advice, there are emerging data that suggests that not only are other times of day an option, but they also might be better.

One study followed patients who took their thyroid medication in the morning and then at night and evaluated their thyroid lab tests both times. They found that patients taking their thyroid medication in the evening had higher levels of free thyroid hormones compared to those taking it in the morning.

Does this mean you should take your medication at night? Not necessarily, but it may be worth considering.

The biggest potential downside to taking your medication at night is that it may interfere with your sleep. This isn't actually a problem for MOST people but it can be a problem for some. If taking your thyroid medication in the evening does cause sleeping issues then the benefits of taking it at that time likely do not outweigh the consequences of decreased sleep quality.

But, no problem, you can always go back to taking it in the morning.

This strategy has the potential to work with ALL thyroid medications, including those with T3. But note that T3-containing medications are more likely than T3-containing medications to cause sleep issues (but only slightly).

The most commonly prescribed drug in the U.S. may also be one of the most overprescribed for older individuals. Up to 15 percent of the senior population receives levothyroxine, a medication used to treat low thyroid hormone levels. However, a study published this spring in the New England Journal of Medicine reported that patients with slightly low, or subclinical, thyroid hormone levels received no benefit from the drug.

Mayo Clinic endocrinologist Dr. Juan Brito says, while some people genuinely need the hormone replacement to regulate metabolism and ward off health risks, most people taking it do not. Dr. Brito says each prescription should be accompanied by thorough follow-up care. "What is important is to engage the patient and the doctor, and make sure they have a reason to [take] it and a plan – what to do if symptoms don't get better and what to do if the symptoms do get better." Dennis Douda reports.

Cytomel is a T3 only thyroid medication (the brand version of liothyronine) that is far more active than levothyroxine. Because it's so much more active, it also happens to be much better at helping thyroid patients with Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism lose weight.

Before you run out and grab it, though, or try to switch medications, there are a few things you need to know.

When using it you will want to keep an eye on certain lab tests including free t3, total t3, and reverse T3.

In addition, you will also want to keep an eye on your basal body temperature and resting heart rate.

Because of its power, it's important to keep an eye on these metrics to make sure you don't accidentally take too much.

As far as dosing for weight loss is concerned, most patients do best taking a dose somewhere between 5 and 20 mcg per day.

Instead of thinking as Cytomel as an alternative to levothyroxine, I think it's best thought of as a complementary option to it.

Many thyroid patients see the best results when using both of these thyroid medications together.

In addition, combining them with T2 will yield even better results. You can learn more about T2 and how it helps with weight loss here: https://youtu.be/2cL641utwn4?si=Q0h0JUDqAUOK8uld

Levothyroxine is a medication commonly used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones. This medication replaces or provides more thyroid hormones, which are necessary for normal growth and metabolism. Although levothyroxine is generally well-tolerated, it can cause certain side effects including stomach issues, hair loss, heart palpitations, tremors and more.

In this video, Dr. Anshul Gupts talks about the most common side effects of Levothyroxine. He explores the reasons for it and also provides natural alternatives for Levothyroxine. Please check with your primary care physician before making any changes to your medication.

In this video Doctor O'Donovan explains key facts you need to know about a medication called LEVOTHYROXINE (also known as Synthroid®, Levoxyl®, Unithyroid®, Tirosint® in the United States and Euthyrox® and Eltroxin in Europe) and how it is used to treat symptoms of HYPOTHYROIDISM (an under-active thyroid).

In the video we cover:

00:00 - Intro
00:46 - What is Levothyroxine?
01:11 - Who can and can't take it?
01:54 - How and when to take it
03:01 - What to do if you miss a dose
03:40 - Side effects of levothyroxine
04:55 - Pregnancy and breastfeeding
05:23 - Interactions of levothyroxine with other medications

Key facts from the NHS website:

*Levothyroxine is a synthetic version of a hormone called thyroxine. It replaces thyroxine if your thyroid gland cannot produce it and prevents the symptoms of hypothyroidism.
*Levothyroxine starts working straight away, but it may be several weeks before your symptoms start to improve.
*The most common side effects of levothyroxine are caused by taking a bigger dose than you need. Your doctor can lower your dose to help reduce any side effects.
*Before you start taking levothyroxine, your doctor will do a blood test. *Once you start taking the medicine you'll have regular blood tests to see how well it's working.
*Levothyroxine doses need to be carefully monitored during pregnancy. If you're planning to become pregnant or think you may be pregnant, it's important to talk to your doctor to get the right care for you and your baby.
