Today I have Dr. Amie Hornaman on my podcast for a follow up Q & A based on our previous podcast! Dr. Amie is known as the thyroid fixer and both her and I share a similar philosophy when it comes to treating and managing hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's, and thyroidectomy patients.
Our conversation today focuses mostly on T3 thyroid medication, how to use it, who should use it, its safety, how it impacts thyroid lab tests, and much more. We also talk a lot about weight loss and common pitfalls that thyroid patients face when they try to lose weight.
You can learn more about Dr. Amie Hornaman here:
- Her Podcast the Thyroid Fixer: dramiehornaman.com/podcasts/
- Her Website: dramiehornaman.com/meet-amie/
If you have any additional questions please be sure to leave them below so we can do yet another follow-up Q and A.
Topics and questions discussed in this video include:
- Do we all need T3?
- Using T3 if you have a thyroidectomy, is 5mcg a good starting dose, and should I worry about lowering my TSH?
- Risks vs rewards of TSH suppression and low TSH
- Can you be hypothyroid with a low TSH
- When is the best time of day to take T3? Is taking T3 at night safe and effective?
- Is taking levothyroxine at night better than in the morning?
- Taking T3 before you drink coffee
- Making tweaks to your thyroid medication when you are completely optimized vs when you are trying to optimize your dose
- T3 and T4 sublingual absorption. Can you take your thyroid medication under your tongue?
- How can I lose weight, balance immune function, and improve my thyroid numbers if I have Hashimoto's?
- How thyroid function impairs other hormones downstream which then makes losing eight more difficult
- When to use sustained release T3 and how it compares to immediate release T3
- I can't lose weight even when eating 1650 calories per day, what can I do to lose weight?
- Why reducing your calories as a hypothyroid patient can lead to thyroid damage and problems with reverse T3
- What is a good starting dose of berberine for weight loss?

Please add information on menopausal struggles with previously balanced thyroid dis ease. I started synthroid in my early 20s, with few symptoms... until I turned 40! After much pleading, Reverse T3 was finally checked (29). I now take a micro dose of liothyronine (10 mcg) which keeps Reverse T3 around 12. I have much more energy... but I haven't been able to get rid of the extra 20 pounds of fat gained in my abdomen. I feel that I am aging too quickly as well, yet I eat a clean diet of low grains, gluten, and dairy. I get a lot of vegetables and go for grass-fed meat.

In England we cannot be prescribed T3 due to costs. I am currently on 150 mcg of Levothyroxine, but it is not really doing anything for me. I am definitely going to try and get it privately. It's the fatigue, depression and weight gain for me, which is really affecting my quality of life. Thank you for your videos they make me feel like I am not alone 😊

@nadinesaupe7704 15 дней назад

I am in the UK and have just been put on T3 by my GP (I am not seeing an endocrinologist). Apparently, the cost has gone down drastically and the NHS now prescribes it. I mentioned it to my GP who didn't know anything about it and sent an email to the endos at the hospital who suggested putting me on T3. Just ask your GP and see what happens. My T3 is not making any difference yet but I think my dose is too low.

@Gowiththeflow111 11 месяцев назад

Oh my gosh! I think this video came up because I just got my labs back and my t3 has been low for about a few years. My dose was 5 but was changed to 2.5. Although still the same, my t4 was reduced to 100 mcg. I have been slowly gaining weight and struggling to lose. Sounds like I need to increase my T3 back up and maybe a lil more. I am feeling better with the lower dose of T4 and this could be due to being a carnivore. Thank you for this video and I’m glad I found it!

@wt8213 Год назад

It takes time to build up T4 and T3 in the body. Admittedly T3 metabolizes much quicker then T4 but by the sounds of it your body built up to much T3 so you became hypo briefly then got sick. If you felt good on it at the start id just cut the dosage way back as it takes time for it to accumulate in the body.

I take LDN 5mg right before bed. I used to take my tirosint and some of my t3 at the same time but I was waking up in the middle of the night ready to go. I am up every 2 hrs as it is to dose ghrp multiple times. So now I take my my tirosint around 2am and wake up at 3am. And take my t3 sublingually when I wake up. Then I dose more t3 sublingually in the early afternoon. I find the tirosint to be stimulating about 2 hrs after I take it.

Diagnosed with thyroid gland atrophy after 20 years of hypothyroidism. My ft3 & ft4 values are within normal limits but I have developed short term memory loss and difficulty in remembering names of close relatives. I am 68 years old and not able to understand what is the problem.

Dr. I had my thyroidectomy about 32 years ago. I have been taking only levothyroxine. I’m in the worst shape of my life: extremely overweight, extreme hair loss and infinite fatigue. I have never had the fortune of meeting an Endocronologist who gives a damn. The last Endocronologist that I saw told me that “ everything looks normal”. I asked for t3 ( I knew just a bit ) and she said I didn’t need it… Where do I start?

@VivanneLee 2 года назад

I get my t3 from my primary care doctor. I would recommend finding a doctor who cares and listens.

@INNER.SESSION 2 года назад

I was there years ago also. I prayed and Was shown that I’m can’t convert T4 to T3. Try switching to desiccated pig thyroid pressed tabs and TAKE IT FASTED AWAY FROM FOOD at least 20-30 mins before you eat and without coffee or calcium interactions. Water only

Excess thyroid hormone activity increases bone turnover and may lead to bone loss over a period of time.

@LisaSpirito87 8 месяцев назад

I was born without a thyroid glad, I have been on syntharoid since I was 2 days old, I wait until 2 hrs after waking/taking my meds to take anything but water, can t3 be taken with t4? Does this allow for optimal absorption?

@Snapkrackpop Год назад

How would you treat someone that has Pan Hypopituitary? Would it be similar to the scenario where the person has no thyroid?

@1aliveandwell 2 года назад

labs say ok, in ref range (T3 80) , others optimal. Is it worth communicating with this large labs to say want a more realistic ref range? Had read that low thyroid can cause high LDL. Had tried cytomel in past but caused fast heart palp., and a friend said might be adrenals tired.

Doctors, my thyroid was irradiated and I take Levothyrhoxine, and was pre diabetic for 5 years. I am following a Keto diet and have lowered my A1C to 5.3 fro 6.0.lost 37 lbs would T3 help reduce my A1C further?

@drwestinchilds 2 года назад

It may.

@sherrysherry5972 Год назад

The discussion on taking T3 medications in split doses you failed to give the hours the drug is effective. I thought I read on your web site that liothyronine is effective for around 3hrs (could be wrong as I read so many things, forget a lot). If I have an afternoon slump, how many hours prior to the slump should I take the T3? If I have a difficult awakening/morning is the T3 at 11PM going to improve the situation or will the T3 be gone from my body because too many hours have past?

@reinaborikendelcaribe2792 2 года назад

Dr. Childs I was diagnosed with Hashimotos last year, my Dr finally just prescribed me 1 Cytomel 5mcg tab a day along with my synthroid. But what I want to know is if it's normal for Cytomel to make me sleepy? About 2-3 hrs after I take it I start feeling very sleepy and exhausted. 😥

@jenniferbecca3050 2 года назад

Levo would make me sleepy around 11am. Now, I don't take anything, other than supplements, and I can stay awake and have minimal symptoms. My all my T3 are normal.
