National Academy of Hypothyroidism The National Academy of Hypothyroidism is a group of thyroidologists, headed by Kent Holtorf, M.D., who are dedicated to the promotion of scientifically sound and medically validated concepts and information pertaining to the diagnosis and treatment of hypothyroidism. This page of theirs will explain which blood tests you should get (some not available in Canada, so pay a private Health Service Lab in the USA). This site also has a form you can put your lab results into, to find out if you have a probable hypothyroid issue. Low T3 Syndrome: It’s Not About the Thyroid Chris Kresser, M.S., L.Ac is a globally recognized leader in the fields of ancestral health, Paleo nutrition, and functional and integrative medicine. He is the author of the New York Times best seller, Your Personal Paleo Code (published in paperback in December 2014 as The Paleo Cure). "Hypothyroidism involves high levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and low levels of the thyroid hormones T4 and T3. ... However, in my clinical practice I frequently see people with low levels of T3 with normal T4 and either low or normal TSH. ... This particular pattern goes by three different names in the medical literature: Euthyroid Sick Syndrome (ESS), Non-thyroidal Illness Syndrome (NTIS), and Low T3 Syndrome." There are 6 articles in Chris' Thryroid Series, read them all starting with the first: Low T3 Syndrome: It’s Not About the Thyroid. After you read these, you'll be wanting to know more! More soon! |
