A take-away from today - they mentioned that leaky gut, elevated cytokine inflammation and elevated cortisol levels from stress
can inhibit conversion of the inactive form of T4 to the active form of T3 thyroid hormone and inhibit production of TSH which stimulates hormone production.
This is why we need to check our thyroid levels - T4, T3, reverse T3, TSH
I bloodtest hypothyroid and feel much better on Armour thyroid, which contains both T4 and T3.
Each of us needs to see what kind of thyroid supplementation we respond best to, if we need some.
This is a good summit! Good to watch...

Who said that about leaky gut? Thanks for sharing. Wish I had a chance to participate.

It was Dr Raphael Kellman - he said 20% of T4 to T3 conversion happens in the gut. If there is an unhealthy microbiome - ie all the trillions of critters that live in our gut - 10x more of them than our cells - then there's a reduction in that conversion.
All kinds of things can affect our microbiome, from antibiotics to birth control pills to bad diet, etc. Lots of speakers say we have to rebuild gut health. They love bone broth! And easy soups, like chicken broth soup with vegies.
Dr Josh Axe, Donna Gates and Dr Tom O'Bryan and many more have useful websites on it.
