Still feeling terrible on T3 thyroid medication?
In Episode 45 of Beyond the Thyroid, Dr. Dana Gibbs explains why T3-containing thyroid medications don’t always deliver relief—and why they can sometimes worsen symptoms like anxiety, fatigue, palpitations, or crashes.
Rather than blaming the medication, Dr. Gibbs shows how issues like blood sugar imbalance, cortisol dysregulation, circadian rhythm disruption, stimulant sensitivity, and nutrient deficiencies can sabotage T3 therapy.
