• TS Episode 13: Reading Between the Lines of Your Thyroid Labs

  Tired of being told "your labs are normal" while you still feel terrible? This episode will transform you from a passive patient into an informed advocate who understands what comprehensive thyroid testing should include and how to interpret the results.   Dr. Eric Balcavage reveals why most doctors run incomplete thyroid panels and miss critical patterns that explain persistent symptoms. Discover the complete 9-marker thyroid panel you need, including the often-overlooked T3 Uptake that can reveal binding protein issues masquerading as hormone deficiencies.   Learn why "normal" ranges aren't the same as healthy, why chasing "optimal" numbers can backfire, and how your thyroid may be adapting to protect you rather than failing you. This isn't about becoming your own doctor - it's about becoming an informed partner in your healthcare. What You'll Learn: The complete 9-marker thyroid panel every patient should request Why Thyroid panels need to be interpreted, not manipulated into range Why "Normal" or "Optimal" lab values may not be healthy values for you. Why the lab value is not your problem, but a sign of what is going on in your body Why your thyroid adapts, not fails Patient advocacy strategies for getting proper testing and interpretation  Need help: Go to www.drericbalcavage.com for more information  #ThyroidShorts #ThyroidLabs #ThyroidTesting #CellularHypothyroidism #T3Uptake #ThyroidRatios #BindingProteins #ThyroidAdvocacy #AdaptiveThyroid #ThyroidRecovery #Hypothyroidism #ThyroidHealth #FunctionalMedicine #ThyroidHormones #ThyroidConversion #ThyroidPurgatory #HealthPodcast #DrEricBalcavage #StrategicThyroidSolution #ThyroidAnswers #PatientAdvocacy #ThyroidSupport
