Why Thyroid Medication Can Make You Feel Worse (Part 1) | Beyond the Thyroid Ep. 45

Описание: Still feeling terrible on T3 thyroid medication?

In Episode 45 of Beyond the Thyroid, Dr. Dana Gibbs explains why T3-containing thyroid medications don’t always deliver relief—and why they can sometimes worsen symptoms like anxiety, fatigue, palpitations, or crashes.

Rather than blaming the medication, Dr. Gibbs shows how issues like blood sugar imbalance, cortisol dysregulation, circadian rhythm disruption, stimulant sensitivity, and nutrient deficiencies can sabotage T3 therapy.

🔍 What You’ll Learn
Why T3 can make symptoms worse instead of better
The most common physiological blocks to T3 success
How cortisol, blood sugar, and sleep affect thyroid hormones
Why dose changes alone don’t fix T3 intolerance
What patients and clinicians should address before giving up
