Take the Liver = Thyroid Evaluation
A person may have thyroid symptoms and positive blood work showing that they have a thyroid problem but in truth they might not really have a “thyroid problem.”
The liver, kidneys, pituitary gland and adrenal glands are all potential underlying causes to thyroid problems.
For example, your thyroid makes a hormone called thyroxine (T4).
T4 itself is not a very active hormone–it doesn’t do much in the body. It must travel to the liver to get converted from T4 to it’s more active form T3.
However, if the liver is stressed and/or malfunctioning it may not be able to convert enough T4 to T3.
This then could make thyroid hormone levels look low on medical blood work causing a diagnosis of hypothyroidism to occur.
The real question we need to answer is why is the hormone level low?
What’s the root cause?
Take the Liver = Thyroid Evaluation
Now, I’m not telling anyone that they should stop their medication or claiming to treat thyroid disease. In fact, quite the opposite. If your medical doctor prescribed you thyroid medication then you should listen to him or her.
What I’m suggesting is that there may be an underlying cause to your thyroid problem. If you identify the cause, and do the right things so your body can heal itself, maybe you won’t have a thyroid problem any longer.
