Dr. Tabatha Barber explains why your thyroid struggles to function properly. Chronic dieting, adrenal dysfunction, autoimmune conditions, and exposure to toxins and plastics shift your body toward reverse T3 instead of the active T3 your cells need.
So if you have adrenal dysfunction, you're going to make more reverse T3, and that's going to cause you to look like a hypothyroid patient. If you are on a chronic low calorie diet and starving yourself, your thyroid is going to think you're in survival mode and it's going to turn down your T3 production and increase your reverse T3 production. If you have an autoimmune condition, if you are exposed to chronic toxins all of the time, all the plastics in your food and your water, all the fragrances in the candles, in the plugins, in the beauty products, that is going to tell your thyroid make reverse T3.
