Ep. 185: T3 or No T3? Should Your Hypothyroidism Treatment Include T3?

Levothyroxine (T4-only therapy) has long been the standard treatment for hypothyroidism. However, many patients continue to experience persistent symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, and depression—even when their lab results appear "normal." Could adding T3—the active thyroid hormone—be the key to feeling better?

In this episode, we take a comprehensive look at T3-inclusive treatment options, including natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) and synthetic combination therapies that contain both T4 and T3. We'll review recent research comparing the effectiveness of T4-only versus combination therapies, discuss patient-reported outcomes, and examine the growing interest in individualized thyroid care.

You'll also hear about the real-world challenges patients face when seeking T3-based treatment—such as resistance from providers, limited access to prescriptions, and cost concerns. We’ll share expert-backed advice and practical tips for advocating for your care, finding informed healthcare providers, and accessing affordable T3 medications safely.

Whether you're newly diagnosed or still struggling with symptoms on levothyroxine, this episode from Paloma Health offers critical insights into whether a T3-inclusive approach may be right for you.
