How to Optimize Your Thyroid Medication: 4 Tweaks to Get You Back to 100%

This video outlines how to optimize your thyroid medication so that you can get back to feeling 100%. There’s no question that many thyroid patients continue to suffer with low thyroid symptoms despite taking their thyroid medication faithfully. As a result, this has prompted some thyroid patients to believe that perhaps the issue is related to the treatments for hypothyroidism. I’ve been getting a lot questions asking me when will new types of treatments for thyroid disease become available. Unfortunately, this type of thinking is not really the right way to look at the problem. Yes, there are a lot of thyroid patients suffering but it’s not necessarily of available treatments and more an issue of how they are using those treatments. When you look at thyroid medications you will find that every single one is bio-identical to your thyroid. In other words, that means that all thyroid medications look identical to the thyroid hormone that your body produces naturally. In other words, the treatments are pretty good. The issue stems from how you take it. If you aren’t feeling well then you can consider making these changes to optimize your thyroid medication: #1. Change the type of thyroid medication that you are taking. Many thyroid patients are only aware of levothyroxine and synthyroid but there are many subcategories of thyroid medication including: T4 only thyroid medications. T4 + T3 combinations of thyroid medications. NDT formulations. And T3 only medications. #2. Change how you take your thyroid medication. There are 3 different ways that you can take your thyroid medication including: Orally (swallowing your pill) Sublingually (dissolving your medication under your tongue) Injection form (taking your thyroid medication via injection) #3. Change the time of day that you take your thyroid medication. You can take your thyroid medication at different times of the day including: In the morning In the evening Splitting your dose and taking it multiple times throughout the day Alternate daily
