Ep. 172: Levothyroxine vs. Natural Desiccated Thyroid (NDT)

We have a special Deep Dive for you in today's episode, comparing the two main types of hypothyroidism treatment: the most common treatment, levothyroxine, which is a synthetic T4 medication, and natural desiccated thyroid drugs, also known as NDT, with brands including Armour Thyroid and NP Thyroid.


We'll explore the history, effectiveness, and potential benefits of NDT for patients who are still symptomatic on levothyroxine. We'll also get into the controversies surrounding NDT, including FDA regulation and prescriber bias, and review the pros and cons of NDT. We'll also cover how to find NDT-friendly doctors, the role of compounded thyroid medications. If you've ever wondered if natural thyroid drugs are for you, stay tuned as we dive into this important topic with expert insights and practical advice from Paloma Health!
