TIMESTAMPS:

05:19- TODAY’S QUESTION: I’VE BEEN PRESCRIBED SYNTHROID FOR MY THYROID. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO TO OPTIMIZE MY THYROID?

We see this a lot! We see diagnosed or undiagnosed thyroid issues

06:19- DR. TABATHA BARBER’S INITIAL RESPONSE

“Your thyroid usually isn't functioning well because of some other outside issues. Thyroids don't just stop working.”

Reasons why your thyroid might be having issues- “There are reasons your thyroid is under attack.’

Figuring out the root cause so you might not even need Synthroid.

Some “easy” fixes that you could look into and things you can do!

Reverse T3 (a lab that conventional doctors don’t normally check)

“Synthroid is not the answer, it is usually a bandaid.”
