What comes after the Adrenals and the Thyroid? The ovaries of course!
Do you have Fatigue, Body aches and Brain Fog?
Do you think your thyroid could be the cause?
How about if you have fixed your thyroid and you still feel, tired, stressed out, no libido?
What would you and your practitioner address next?
Remember the hierarchy of the endocrine system?
Always address the adrenals first, then the thyroid then your ovaries that produce your sex hormones!
Check out the 5 drivers of ovarian hormonal imbalances.
I then go to address 2 of the 6 common disorders in the reproductive years of women.
Later we look at perimenopause and menopause.
Ah! The joys of being a woman!:)

A whole gamut of tests for your thyroid!
Is it enough to check your TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)?
How about just adding the T4 (Thyroxine) hormone to the panel of tests?
- If that is all you test, you have to assume that T4 is converting to T3 (in the serum), therefore driving the cell's metabolic machinery.
Unfortunately, everyone's conversion happens at different rates!
To know, you must assess T3 and the ratio of T3/T4
What if too much T4 has been converted to RT3 - and therefore even with normal T3 serum levels there may be a metabolic block to its action?
To know this ratio, you must assess RT3 and the ratio of T3/RT3
Antibodies if you think you have Hashimoto's?
Or if you already have another autoimmune disease like psoriasis or vitiligo or Type 1 Diabetes, Coeliac Disease, even pregnancy!
Definitely need to test!
Does this make sense or is it just gobbledygook?
Listen to my latest episode as I explain ALL of the above!

TSH - is that all we need? Facts vs Fiction
Does TSH predict your thyroid function?
Is it true that subclinical hypothyroidism should not be treated?
Can TSH be used as the sole diagnostic criteria for thyroid dysfunction?
Find out why it is not enough to just check your TSH levels like most practitioners do (because that was what we were taught in medical school) as TSH DOES NOT DEFINE your thyroid function.
And when your TSH is in the 'normal range', but you still have symptoms of hypothyroidism such as fatigue, body aches, and brain fog...you NEED to investigate more!
Learn more about the myths of TSH in my latest episode NOW!
