The thyroid plays a vital role in the body’s metabolic process. When it fails to function the way it’s supposed to, it affects how food and nutrients are regulated. In more serious cases like hypothyroidism, there are also underlying effects like weight gain, inability to lose weight, fatigue, intolerance to cold temperature, depression, etc. Dr. Jockers talks about thyroid hormone resistance, how it is developed, and the patterns that lead to unhealthy thyroid functions. He shares several at-home tests and lab markers to check for thyroid problems and explains why medical practitioners should never rely on lab tests through the medical ranges ALONE.
“If there is a thyroid issue, most likely it’s actually an issue with the brain, with the liver, with the gut, or all of them.”
