Tired Thyroid: From Hyper to Hypo to Healing—Breaking the TSH Rule

Do you suffer from fatigue, dry skin, thin hair, memory issues, constipation, and feel cold all the time? Do you have anxiety, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, adrenal fatigue (problems dealing with stress), PCOS/infertility, brain fog/dementia, osteoporosis, insomnia, insulin resistance, or asthma? Have you ever asked your doctor about hypothyroidism, tested your TSH, and been told your results were normal? Learn why itâ€™s so difficult to get a hypothyroid diagnosis today, and why patients don't feel well when a TSH lab test determines their dose (the TSH Rule). Learn what tests to ask for instead, what a normal thyroid gland secretes, and the pros and cons of popular internet protocols.Read five case studies that illustrate the flaws of using TSH as a dosing guideline. 1)Barbara Lougheed shares her story as a hyperthyroid Gravesâ€™ disease patient who had radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment. When she became hypothyroid, her doctor prescribed Synthroid (levothyroxine or T4). Follow her journey as she searches for her optimal dose, trying desiccated thyroid, T3, and various combinations. 2)A hypopituitary man remains undiagnosed for decades because of his normal TSH. 3)An older woman with Hashimotoâ€™s thyroid disease has her Synthroid dose reduced because of her low TSH, even though her T3 levels were below the reference range. 4)A young manâ€™s fatigue is puzzling until lab tests identify his iron loading condition. 5)A woman successfully battles Gravesâ€™ disease using alternative treatments. Even though she no longer suffers from debilitating hyperthyroid symptoms, she still has very little TSH. Learn how thyroid hormones work and why current medical treatments and patient-directed internet protocols often donâ€™t relieve all symptoms. Is the iodine protocol, T3-only protocol to clear reverse T3 (rT3), or natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) a good idea for everyone? This book reveals the facts so patients can make an educated decision.
