The Secrets of T4 to T3 Conversion
Listen now
Description
Some people do not convert T4 (inactive thyroid) to T3 (active thyroid) very well. Are you one of them? And what can you do about it? Answers in this episode! Because if you are making enough T4, but not converting it to T3, you might not have a thyroid problem—it’s something different! The episode deep-dives into factors like liver congestion, selenium deficiencies, and heightened stress levels that can inhibit this critical T4 to T3 conversion. Learn how nurturing liver health, addressing stress, and ensuring the right intake of selenium can significantly enhance your thyroid health.    RELATED EPISODES Episode 3 - What do my thyroid labs mean? https://healthwithhashimotos.com/thyroid-labs/  Episode 69 - Estrogen and Hashimoto’s https://healthwithhashimotos.com/estrogen-and-hashimotos/ Episode 24 - Your adrenal glands, chronic stress, and Hashimoto's autoimmune disease https://healthwithhashimotos.com/24-stress/    PRODUCTS MENTIONED My LifeVantage Affiliate Link: Find Protandim, Rise AM/Reset PM multi-nutrient, Fat Burn, and more.
