Here is the podcast:

Many thanks to Chemaine and Model Health for inviting me onto her podcast for a discussion of my new thyroid book, Natural Thyroid Tookit. In this Podcast, Chemaine and Dr. Jeffrey Dach discuss thyroid topics, the TSH, Synthroid (T4) to T3 conversion, desiccated thyroid (NDT), iodine, selenium, cardiovascular risk, and there is a lot more.

Have you ever been told your TSH is “normal” but you still have symptoms (even if you taking Synthroid) ? This conversation is going to change how you think about T4 monotherapy with Synthroid (levothyroxine).

• Why TSH is may be unreliable as a marker for thyroid function and for monitoring treatment. We discuss the benefits and adverse effects of TSH suppression.

• How T4 conversion to T3 works differently in the pituitary (HPA) and compared to the periphery.

• Why T4-only therapy (Synthroid/Levothyroxine) can leave about 20% of patients with continued symptoms of hypothyroidism.

• The benefits of combination T3 and T4 thyroid therapy and why natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) helps so many people.

• Selenium’s role in T4→T3 conversion and TPO antibody reduction.

• The importance of iodine for thyroid function, and breast cancer prevention.

• How the low thyroid condition increases cardiovascular disease and cancer risk.

• The best supplements for thyroid support, including berberine and myo-inositol.

This discussion takes a deep dive into thyroid physiology, hormones, optimal treatment, and the gaps in conventional endocrinology that leave so many patients feeling ignored by their doctor.
