In this video I explain how to convert from armour thyroid to levothyroxine or from levothyroxine to T3. It is based off of a thyroid conversion chart that I create which is more accurate than the traditional conversion chart used by most Doctors. • If you can convince your Doctor to switch you from Levothyroxine or T4 to NDT then make sure you are getting the right dose. Many providers and patients make the mistake of lowering their total dose of thyroid hormone when doing this process and feel worse afterwards. • By using the chart above you can get the proper dose of NDT, T4 or Armour thyroid when converting. • Here are some basic guidelines: • In these examples NDT = Armour thyroid, WP thyroid or Naturethroid • 50mcg of T4 = 1 grain of NDT = 25 mcg of T3 • 100mcg of T4 = 2 grains of NDT = 50mcg of T3 • 150mcg of T4 = 3 grains of NDT = 75mcg of T3 • 200mcg of T4 = 4 grains of NDT = 100mcg of T3 • In addition I also give some practical advice on how to switch from T4 only medications like Levothyroxine to Natural Desiccated thyroid medications like Armour thyroid. In general I recommend starting the titration slow and periodically increasing your total dose every 10-14 days to prevent negative side effects from the T3. • I also go over some of the average dosages of patients on T4, NDT and T3 in my practice. These numbers vary based off of the individual but these ranges can help determine if your dose is high enough. • More information in the video and the full blog post can be found here: • http://www.restartmed.com/levothyroxi... • Download my free thyroid resources here (including hypothyroid symptoms checklist, the complete list of thyroid lab tests + optimal ranges, foods you should avoid if you have thyroid disease, and more): https://www.restartmed.com/start-here/ • Recommended thyroid supplements to enhance thyroid function: • Supplements that everyone with hypothyroidism needs: https://bit.ly/3tekPej • Supplement bundle to help reverse Hashimoto's: https://bit.ly/3gSY9eJ • Supplements for those without a thyroid and for those after RAI: https://bit.ly/3tb36nZ • Supplements for active hyperthyroidism: https://bit.ly/3t70yHo • See ALL of my specialized supplements including protein powders, thyroid supplements, and weight loss products here: • https://www.restartmed.com/shop/ • Want more from my blog?
