The Secrets of T4 to T3 Conversion

Some people do not convert T4 (inactive thyroid) to T3 (active thyroid) very well. Are you one of them? And what can you do about it? Answers in this episode! Because if you are making enough T4, but not converting it to T3, you might not have a thyroid problem—it’s something different!
The episode deep-dives into factors like liver congestion, selenium deficiencies, and heightened stress levels that can inhibit this critical T4 to T3 conversion. Learn how nurturing liver health, addressing stress, and ensuring the right intake of selenium can significantly enhance your thyroid health.
