Duration: 33:34
Have you ever been told to test your thyroid levels a few hours after taking your medication? What if I told you that one small timing mistake could completely throw off your results—and lead to the wrong treatment plan?
In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most common (and costly) thyroid testing mistakes: drawing your labs at the wrong time. I explain why testing “at the peak” doesn’t make sense scientifically, how it can create false high readings, and what actually happens in your body when you take T3 or NDT medication. You’ll hear real examples from my own experiments and patients so you can finally understand what those lab numbers really mean—and when you should be testing for an accurate picture of your thyroid health.
If you’ve been told your labs look “fine” but you still feel tired, foggy, or stuck with symptoms, this episode will make it all click. I’ll teach you the timing strategy that can completely change how your medication is adjusted and how you feel every day. Don’t miss it!
