In this video I explain how I determine which thyroid medication a patient needs. There are basically three main choices in medications: • 1) Natural Desiccated thyroid medication (including armour thyroid, naturethroid and WP thyroid) • 2) T3 only medication (including Liothyronine, cytomel and sustained release T3) • 3) T4 only medication (including levothyroxine, tirosint and synthroid) • The question is how do you determine which medication works best for you? • Patients who do well on NDT medication include: • Those who have not felt better on T4 only preparations • Those who need to lose 10-20 pounds of fat • Those who have not been on thyroid medication before • Those with Low free T3 and low Free T4 but normal reverse T3 levels • Patients who do better on T3 only medications: • Those with high levels of reverse T3 • Those with leptin resistance • Those with insulin resistance, diabetes or pre diabetes • Those with a personal history of bipolar disorder or a strong family history of mental health disorders • Those with chronic illness • Patients who do better on T4 only medications: • Those who are VERY sensitive to all supplements and medications • Those with extreme sensitivities to T3 containing medications • 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?
