Dr. Betty Murray spent 20+ years on thyroid medication after resisting it, experiencing hair loss and other symptoms of untreated hypothyroidism. Synthetic T3/T4 hormones are chemically identical to what your body makes, not unnatural substitutes. Proper thyroid levels prevent weight gain, depression, bone loss, and mitochondrial damage.
there's a whole bunch of bravado and ignorance that usually happens when we're younger. And I will be the first to admit when I was wrong. And, you know, because I've been on thyroid for well over 20 years, and, you know, originally I was like, my hair's falling out, my eyebrow— like, I have pretty eyebrows because they're tattooed, people. They're not, they're not mine, right? Like, I'm trying, we're trying really hard to get them back. I've already talked about my hair loss journey and all those things, but I tried so hard —so hard to not take medication for my thyroid. I take it, try and get off. I can't get off of it, right? Because the side effects are extremely negative. And beyond just like hair loss, weight gain, constipation, anxiety, depression, we can also talk about bone loss. We can also talk about loss of muscle mass. Like there are, you know, mitochondrial function. There are so many impactful places that when you get hormones back on board in the way your body used to make them and they're not now for whatever reason, Right. They're the same. And I think the thing people need to understand, too, is when you're using T3 or T4, it's like going to Lowe's and getting a copy made of your hormone key. It's— yes, it is synthesized in a lab, but it's biochemically the same. So essentially, is it natural? Yes, because it's natural to the exact same composition of the chemical that was made in your body.
