What is Thyroid Hormone?

Thyroid hormone is the primary hormone responsible for the regulation of metabolism. It is produced by the thyroid gland, which is the butterfly-shaped organ located in your neck just below your adam's

apple or larynx.

The thyroid gland produces two different types of thyroid hormone - the inactive form (T4) and the active form (T3) of thyroid hormone.

The inactive form of thyroid hormone (T4) is produced at a ratio of 4:1 compared to the active form (T3).

Note: It's important to understand that the body can't actually use T4 until it has first been converted into T3.

This process takes place in the liver along something we like to call the Thyroid Hormone Pathway. ...But more on that later.

The Role of Thyroid Hormone

Thyroid hormone affects every cell in the body.

And as mentioned, thyroid hormone is the hormone that is primarily responsible for the regulation of metabolism.

So it should make sense that without adequate levels of thyroid hormone, or proper conversion of thyroid hormone, cells can't metabolize or produce energy properly and metabolism suffers!

Fatigue

Weight Gain

Mental Fog

Joint & Muscle Pain

Sleep Issues Digestive Issues Hair, Skin, & Nail Issues

Mood Issues

All of these symptoms stem from metabolic dysfunction as a result of a blockage somewhere along the Thyroid Hormone Pathway.

But, not to worry, these symptoms can be relieved and hypothyroidism can be overcome.

All it takes are the proper tools & resources, along with a helpful guide that's been in your shoes and can help you navigate around some of the

common pitfalls, along your journey to better thyroid health!

The Thyroid Hormone Pathway

So what is the Thyroid Hormone Pathway? The Thyroid Hormone Pathway is the path in which your thyroid

hormone must travel down before it ever gets to your cells. This pathway consists of the thyroid gland, which are controlled by the hypothalamus (via TRH) & pituitary glands (via TSH), the liver, the bloodstream, cell receptors, and the mitochondria within every cell of

your body.

And with hypothyroidism, your pathway becomes blocked on multiple levels preventing your thyroid hormone from ever reaching your cells.

The Thyroid Hormone Pathway

(continued)

In other words, your thyroid gland might not be the issue. And in our experience, it usually isn't the thyroid gland that's causing the problems.

Regardless, we must work to unblock the Thyroid Hormone Pathway if we want to start feeling relief and ultimately overcome hypothyroidism.

As we like to say here at Forefront Health, if you can't get the right thyroid hormone to your cells or your cells can't metabolize that thyroid hormone efficiently, then you will always be hypothyroid.

And no amount of thyroid medication will ever change that.

This is just one of the reasons why thyroid sufferers typically don't feel any better when taking most prescription thyroid medications.

But, that's not the only reason.

When it comes to thyroid medication and supplements, there's no one best option that works for everyone...

...Yet, understanding the differences between the types of thyroid medications and supplements on the market will give you a much better

chance of success.

Using the "Right" Thyroid Medication

or Thyroid Supplement...

Thyroid medication can be categorized into 4 main groups...

1) T4-Only Medications (Synthroid, Levothyroxine, Levoxyl, etc.) 2) Desiccated Thyroid (Armour, Naturethroid, Raw Desiccated Thyroid, etc.) 3) Compounded Thyroid (Usually custom-made in a compounding pharmacy) 4) T3-Only Medications (Cytomel, Liothyronine, etc.)

The type of medication or supplement that works best can depend on the individual and the underlying problems that are driving their thyroid

condition.

In most cases, we find our clients & customers are using the wrong medication... or using the right medication in the wrong way.

If there's one thing we've learned, it's that using a thyroid medication or supplement that contains the active T3 thyroid hormone is essential.

We've also found that compounded thyroid medications are generally not a great option for most.

That's why this guide is applicable to only certain types, including "Desiccated Thyroid" or "T3-Only" medications (with or without a T4-Only medication).

If you are currently only using a "T4-Only" medication such as Synthroid, Levothyroxine, Levothroid, Levoxyl, Unithroid, et cetera, then you have a

couple of options...

First, you can discuss trying an alternative medication with your doctor, such as desiccated thyroid (we prefer WP-Thyroid when available).
