632. NDT (Natural Desiccated Thyroid) Medication Might Be Making You Worse

This episode is going to challenge everything you thought you knew about “natural” thyroid medication. In this conversation, I unpack why NDT medications like Armour Thyroid, NP Thyroid, and compounded T4/T3 can actually make some people feel worse instead of better, even when they seem to help at first.  I walk through the hidden issues that many practitioners miss, including reverse T3 problems, poor T4 to T3 conversion, autoimmune flare-ups, and the dangers of being stuck on doses that are too low to truly optimize your thyroid. If you’ve been told your labs are “fine” while your symptoms keep getting worse, this episode is going to connect a lot of dots for you. I also get real about the thyroid industry itself and explain why “natural” does not automatically mean better. What you’ll learn: Why feeling better at first on NDT can sometimes be misleading The hidden thyroid marker most practitioners never explain properly What your body may actually be doing with all that T4 The surprising reason “natural” thyroid medication is not always the safer option How Hashimoto’s can completely change the thyroid medication equation The subtle mistake that can leave you feeling even more hypothyroid My goal with this podcast is to empower you with the education and confidence to ask better questions, advocate for yourself, and finally understand what your body has been trying to tell you all along.
