Hey everyone, back with another informative video about your thyroid health.

In this Thyroid Thursday, I’m breaking down how starting estrogen replacement therapy can unexpectedly make hypothyroid symptoms worse — and even lead to being prescribed more thyroid medication. I share a real case of a woman who felt fine on 60 mg of NP Thyroid until her doctor added estrogen therapy. Soon after, she began experiencing more fatigue and brain fog, and her labs showed lower free T3. Her practitioner increased her thyroid meds, but that only made her anxious, irritable, and even more symptomatic.

In this video, I explain how estrogen increases binding globulins in the blood — which can lower the amount of free, active thyroid hormone available. When you add estrogen to someone already dealing with inflammation, Hashimoto’s, or thyroid medication, that shift can create both hypo and hyperthyroid symptoms at the same time. If you’re on thyroid meds and considering hormone therapy, this episode will help you understand what’s happening and why.

Improving sleep quality is one of the most powerful ways to support healthy T4 to T3 conversion.

Diet and physical activity are important, but sleep often holds the key to real thyroid recovery. If you’re struggling with low T3, take a closer look at your nightly routine.

This week, focus on the basics:
➡️ Limit bright lights and screen time in the evening.
➡️ Slow down your pace before bed—avoid rushing or last-minute tasks.
➡️ Put your phone away at least 30 minutes before sleep.

Small, consistent changes in your sleep habits can drive meaningful improvements in thyroid function.

🚨 EPISODE 210 🚨

In this episode of Thyroid Answers, I sit down with pharmacist and bestselling author Dr. Izabella Wentz to revisit one of the most misunderstood conditions in modern medicine — Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.

They explore how new research and clinical experience are reshaping what we know about autoimmune thyroid disease, why so many women still struggle with fatigue, weight gain, and brain fog despite “normal” thyroid labs, and what it really takes to recover thyroid function from the inside out.

Dr. Wentz and Dr. Balcavage break down the differences between managing Hashimoto’s with medication and restoring thyroid health through the Adaptive Thyroid Model™, focusing on root causes suc as gut health, inflammation, hormone balance, and stress physiology.

Key Topics:
- What most doctors miss about Hashimoto’s and autoimmune thyroiditis
- The connection between stress, sleep, gut health, and thyroid autoimmunity
- Why “normal labs” can hide ongoing thyroid dysfunction
- How estrogen, cortisol, and inflammation alter thyroid hormone conversion
- The role of diet, supplements, and lifestyle in reversing Hashimoto’s patterns
- How to know if your low T3 is adaptive — not failure
- And more ...

Think Hashimoto’s is just about your thyroid?

There’s so much more to the story. Most doctors focus on labs, but what about how you actually feel—or the hidden roles of gut health, stress, and hormones? Real answers go beyond numbers on a page.

We’re breaking it all down with Dr. Izabella Wentz on tomorrow’s Thyroid Answers podcast.
Join us to discover what really matters for healing Hashimoto’s from the inside out—and why it’s time to rethink what you’ve been told.

If I could give just one tip to improve your health and well-being, it would be this:

➡️ While a healthy, whole-food diet, less alcohol, consistent exercise, and quality sleep are all foundational—there’s a powerful tool that often gets overlooked: reframing.

Life throws challenges our way, and negative stress can trigger your body’s “danger” response, impacting your cells and your health. But if you can learn to reframe negative thoughts or situations into opportunities for growth, you change your body’s response at a cellular level. This mindset shift is a true game changer.

Start practicing:
➡️ When something feels negative, pause and ask, “How can I view this differently? What’s the lesson or opportunity here?”

Small shifts in perspective lead to big improvements in your health and quality of life.

In this Thyroid Thursday, I’m breaking down a real client case that shows why “optimal” labs aren’t always optimal. This patient went from being told they didn’t have a thyroid issue… to being overmedicated with T3 and now dealing with both hypo and hyperthyroid symptoms. When I ran a full thyroid panel, it was clear the medication was actually suppressing their thyroid function — not supporting it.

I’ll walk you through what those labs really mean, how over-supplementing T3 can create more stress and inflammation, and why chasing perfect numbers can make you feel worse. If you’ve been told your labs are normal but you still don’t feel well, this video will help you understand why.

A new client came to me exhausted, anxious, and frustrated.

They had already cleaned up their diet, trained consistently, dialed in sleep—yet nothing changed.
After reviewing their medications, the problem became clear:
A low T4 dose + too much T3 had pushed them into a hyperthyroid state.

The result? That familiar “wired but tired” cycle.
The first step toward real healing wasn’t adding more supplements or lifestyle hacks…

It was reducing the T3 and reassessing their thyroid physiology.

Are you struggling with hypothyroid symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, or brain fog? Have you been told the reason is that you have “low T3”? Many patients are told the solution is simple: add T3 thyroid hormone replacement. But is that the truth? Is that the correct strategy?

In episode 17 of Thyroid Answers Shorts, I explain:
✅ Why low T3 doesn’t always mean you need medication
✅ How stress, inflammation, and the Cell Danger Response affect T4-to-T3 conversion
✅ Why simply adding T3 or desiccated thyroid may not fix your symptoms
✅ A new way to understand your thyroid labs through the Adaptive Thyroid Model™

If you’ve ever been frustrated by normal labs but ongoing symptoms, this episode will give you the clarity you need.

"My doctor says my labs are normal… but I’m still exhausted, moody, and can’t sleep. What gives?"

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Too often, doctors only run a TSH test—the standard “thyroid check”—and if it falls within range, you’re told everything is fine.
But TSH is just one piece of the puzzle. It can be an indicator, but it’s far from the whole story.
Here’s what many don’t realize: you can feel tired, foggy, or out of balance even when TSH looks “normal.” Why? Because thyroid health is about so much more than one lab marker. A limited panel can easily miss underlying issues, leaving you searching for answers.

If you’re struggling with fatigue, mood swings, or poor sleep, don’t settle for “normal” based on a single test. Advocate for yourself—ask for a comprehensive thyroid panel that includes TSH, free T4, free T3, reverse T3, antibodies, and more. You deserve a deeper look and real solutions that address how you actually feel.
Don’t let a limited lab panel define your health story. Get the answers you need.
