Description

Today's episode is all about thyroid with Dr. Danby, ND. Thyroid conditions are one of the top conditions I see in clinical practice and also the most blamed organ when we're not feeling well. For many many of us, it's actually not the thyroid that's the problem but conversion of T4 to T3, which really has nothing to do with the thyroid. This episode is setting the stage and providing the groundwork for our future episodes on the thyroid. 

In this episode we cover:

• What does the thyroid do?
• How the thyroid functions, and its feedback mechanism.
• Thyroid testing, understanding the big picture - all the labs! 
• Why your MD doesn't test all thyroid markers 
• What other organs impact your thyroid function 
• Understanding if it's an issue with your thyroid OR conversion from T4 to T3 
• What is reverse T3 (rT3), what triggers it, and how does that impact our health

This is a big episode but a fun one…
