Often they wonder if something else more serious is going on.<\/p>\n<p>So I want to share three questions to ask before going on thyroid medication or even if you\u2019re already taking thyroid medication.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 17px; font-weight: 400;\">There are so many people out there taking medication that don\u2019t address all the issues impacting their thyroid and their overall health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 17px; font-weight: 400;\">In fact, some people find themselves with full blown autoimmune conditions after many years of being on standard thyroid medication, not realizing that gut imbalances and lifestyle factors that cause autoimmune disease went untreated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 17px; font-weight: 400;\">So the three questions you need to ask yourself is:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Could it be gut issues that are causing your symptoms as well as impacting the conversion of T4to T3?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Could it be your adrenals and stress hormones impacting your thyroid?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Could you be at risk for autoimmune thyroid and already having autoimmune reactions?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, if you ask your doctor these questions, you might get blank stares. And it makes sense because most of this isn\u2019t covered in standard medical school training are part of the cookie cutter approach to treating basic thyroid issues with medication.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 17px; font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why so many people who are still on medication are struggling with serious symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, sleep issues, and brain fog. Because the gut imbalances, adrenal issues or other factors are clobbering their thyroid function.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 17px; font-weight: 400;\">So many people are prescribed thyroid medication as a knee-jerk reaction, but the truth is, you may not need medication at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 17px; font-weight: 400;\">Or for those of you who do need medication, you might be on the wrong type, a synthetic versus our bioidentical.\u00a0 Or even worse, you might be on the wrong dose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 17px; font-weight: 400;\">What we have discovered from working with so many patients is that once you correct your gut imbalances and adrenal issues, this allows your thyroid to stabilize.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 17px; font-weight: 400;\">We also see in testing that your TSH, T3 and T4 often normalize meaning medication is unnecessary if you approach the problem at its root.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 17px; font-weight: 400;\">In the rare cases where thyroid hormone replacement is necessary, we explore the right amount of a bioidentical replacement so that you can avoid all side effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next Steps<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you enjoyed this content, please\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 17px; font-weight: 400;\">Join our free <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CarolinaIntegrativeMedicine\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook Community<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 17px; font-weight: 400;\"> full of like-minded health-seekers on a similar journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 17px; font-weight: 400;\">If you are interested to know how our team can help you get started on your journey back to health,<\/span><a style=\"font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/carolinaintegrativemedicine.com\/work-with-me\/?utm_source=web_traffic&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=duffy_dc\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> schedule a discovery call.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 17px; font-weight: 400;\">To help you get started on your health journey, I have created a special\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/go.carolinaintegrativemedicine.com\/minicourse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mini-course<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 17px; font-weight: 400;\">: It contains tips about what to do to get started on your journey to better <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 17px; font-weight: 400;\">Thyroid Health<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 17px; font-weight: 400;\">, and busts a few myths about chronic illnesses.
