FAQ: Hypothyroidism and T4 Medication
June 01, 2018
My wife is also very active, but I've been diagnosed with thyroid issue takes 50 micrograms of thyroid or T4 per day. That's quite a low dose, by the way, just so you know. She battles with fatigue levels and battles to shift weight even when training hard and eating clean. She hardly drinks alcohol and also eats a balanced diet. I have her taking Mulder food now as well, but should she try Alpha Venus, Matt? Oh, yeah, maybe. The funny thing is I wouldn't go straight for Alpha Venus. No. I would actually use T432+. Because like Steve, I said, it's a very low dose of medication. So this is the frustrating thing. Thyroid granules, do they call them that? Because that's what they bloody look like, the tablets. You can't cut them in half easily. And they're 50 microgram jumps. So a lot of people that used to come through clinic they take like 50 micrograms one day or a couple of days and then they need to jack it up to 100 micrograms Most people are going 100 and 150s though So most people that I saw were on 150 micrograms So when you on a low dose like that what you got to understand for them to jack you up a little bit to get you in that thyroid window, they could only double your dose. And that might be too much. And they might have tried that in the past where you have a day where you're too fast, and then they go you slow for a few more days if you use something like t432 that enhances the conversion of t4 and thyroid hormones and improves the activity of thyroid hormones you can use a natural product like t you can keep your thyroid medication the same then you can use t432 take one capsule three times a day initially monitor your body temperature and look at your symptom picture or if you go to adbscience.com and you can we got a lot of um and you put in that little search bar thing thyroid or hypothyroid it'll show you some information list the symptoms of low thyroid the symptoms of high thyroid and also gives you a chart that you can use you measure your basal body temperature so if you take t432 in conjunction with your medication working with your doctors and pharmacists using the symptom picture and the body temperature chart you can then see how many t432 you need to add to your medication to get you in the thyroid window because if you're not in that thyroid window then you could not clear away estrogen exactly and so there's no point putting in an estrogen or you know like an estrogen progesterone modifier if your thyroid's outside the window yes so we start with the thyroid jack it up and then and so i do multi-food and t432 in this case absolutely and um just just on thyroxine uh is make sure you keep it in the fridge um because a lot of people keep it beside their bed and take it first thing in the morning it has a half-life of six days so you can take you know if the doctor asks you to take one you know 51 day and 100 the next that's not unusual but also when you get your thyroid levels checked yes they usually check monitor your tsh and they said oh once it reaches four you're within the normal range it should be below two to have optimal thyroid functioning so that's good so um all right so lastly my family has a history this is still a guy by the way last of my family history guy ranger guy ranger yeah it is
