1 Teaspoon Thyroid Hormone

This is a presentation I gave at South Baylo University on #Diabetes. Unfortunately you can't hear me giving the lecture but the presentation slides I created are packed with info. Enjoy. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13AabHxiNJLcZAP2nhw0NYikTBRDPBZFlY74e_yfG-pM/edit?usp=sharing #medicine #nutrition

The thyroid produces 80% T4 and 20% T3 however, T3 is 300% more metabolically active than T4. The majority of T4 is converted to T3 within the cells of the body. If there is poor conversion, you will have hypothyroid symptoms while showing normal blood values in the lab tests. #medicine #health

Normal Basal Body Temperature is 97.8-98.2 degrees Fahrenheit. Lower average temperatures may point to hypothyroidism even if labs are normal. #medicine
