The FIRST Thing I Teach Every Woman I Work With: Understanding the Thyroid Hormone Process to Get Well and Advocate for Yourself

We've talked about what thyroid tests to do and its ranges, now it's time to understand the WHY.

In this episode Dr. Rebecca walks you through the breakdown she has taught to thousands of women through the years that have worked with her because she knows how important it is to know what's going on in your body.

She provides a comprehensive overview of how the thyroid gland functions and the intricacies of thyroid hormone regulation. She explains how the hypothalamus and pituitary gland regulate TSH to stimulate thyroid hormone production, and why optimal TSH levels are individual. Dr. Warren stresses the importance of testing T3, T4, reverse T3 and not relying solely on TSH to understand thyroid status. Even with normal lab results, symptoms must not be ignored. She emphasizes addressing overall health factors like sleep, stress and conversion issues to properly balance hormones long-term. This episode delivers a wealth of thyroid health knowledge that can empower listeners in their own healing journeys.
