Levothyroxine Failure: The Truth About Thyroid Treatment #shorts

In my opinion, the treatment only approach with levothyroxine based medications will be one of the biggest medical failures of all time in my lifetime, especially in the world of hormones. I think the way that we diagnose and treat thyroid problems is the next women's health initiative or the construct and idea. How medicine treated and looked at hormone replacement therapy for so long we now know has been wrong and millions and millions of women have paid the price. And I think that is the era that we are honest, honestly in with thyroid. I'm hoping in my lifetime I can improve that to an extent and help shift the landscape of thyroid forever. So let's talk about the flawed premise of levothyroxine. So this is synthetic form, a man made form of T4, which is an inactive inert hormone. I give the analogy of crude oil. So we don't put crude oil in our car to make it run, but we need it to create gasoline to put in our car to make it run. Right. If we cannot convert that crude oil to gasoline, we're not going anywhere in our car. And sadly, the premise and promise of medicine with these T4 or levothyroxine based drugs is operating completely and entirely under the assumption that we can efficiently and effectively convert that crude oil to gasoline to make this hormone usable.
