The most ignored, misdiagnosed, yet life-wrecking condition today: Thyroid dysfunction. It’s why you wake up exhausted, can’t lose weight, and feel foggy 24/7—despite doing everything “right.” Here’s what’s destroying your thyroid—and how to fix it before it’s too late: 🧵
Most people miss the early signs. Cold hands and feet. Hair thinning. Brain fog. Exhaustion despite sleeping 8+ hours. Slow digestion, bloating, constipation. They assume it’s just part of "getting older". It’s not. And it only gets worse…
Doctors test TSH and tell you, "You're fine." However, studies show that TSH doesn’t predict symptoms; people with thyroid dysfunction often have “normal” TSH. A real thyroid test must include something they never check…
A true thyroid panel must include: • Free T3 & Free T4 – Active thyroid hormones • Reverse T3 – Blocks metabolism when high • TPO & TG Antibodies – Detects autoimmunity • TSH – Should be very low (<1.0) • Total T3 & T4 – Shows real thyroid output And that's not all:
• Pulse (75–90 BPM) – Low pulse = low thyroid • Temp (98.6°F by afternoon) – Cold hands = sluggish thyroid • Cholesterol – High cholesterol = low thyroid • Blood Glucose & Sodium – Stability = key for metabolism Most doctors only check TSH, which is NOT enough.
The bigger issue? Chronic stress shuts down your thyroid. Your body slows its metabolism to conserve energy. It doesn’t matter how “healthy” you eat—if you’re in survival mode, your thyroid takes a backseat. And that’s when everything starts crashing…
If you’ve been googling symptoms, trying random fixes, and still waking up exhausted… Stop guessing. The systems in this 5-day workshop are exactly what I’ve used to help 500+ clients escape survival mode and reclaim real energy—fast. Limited spots ↓ https://shorturl.at/YTGW7
Here’s what happens when stress takes over: Cortisol blocks T4 → T3 conversion. Reverse T3 rises, slowing metabolism. Your body runs on adrenaline instead of real energy. The longer this lasts, the harder it is to escape.
Low thyroid isn’t just about energy. It affects every system in your body: • Mood swings, depression, anxiety. • Hair loss, brittle nails, slow healing. • Weight gain, no matter how little you eat. And it’s all connected to something deeper…
The medical system doesn’t fix this. • Doctors prescribe SSRIs for depression. • Stimulants for fatigue. • Statins for cholesterol. Because a one-time fix doesn’t create lifelong customers…
If you don’t fix your thyroid, it only gets worse. Heart disease, high cholesterol. Infertility, bone loss, chronic fatigue. Autoimmune disease, neurodegeneration. And most people never realize what’s really happening. Ray Peat on how stress influences degenerative diseases:
You may think it’s aging. Or genetics. But if you: • Wake up exhausted no matter how much you sleep… • Need coffee just to function… • Feel "wired but tired" all day… Your body isn’t producing real energy—it’s running on stress.
Want to fix it? Stop starving your thyroid and break the chronic stress cycle. Most “health” advice—fasting, keto, over-exercising—makes things worse. Your thyroid doesn’t need hacks. It needs consistent energy and less stress. Ray Peat on how modern diet causes stress:
If your body is stuck in fight-or-flight mode, your thyroid won’t heal. You must shift out of survival mode. Because ignoring stress doesn’t make it go away… It just buries it deeper into your nervous system.
Most “fixes” just mask symptoms. Meds numb your body’s signals. “Self-care” routines manage stress but don’t eliminate it. Low-carb diets worsen thyroid function. You don’t need another band-aid. You need a real solution.
It breaks my heart to see so many people stuck in the chronic stress cycle—coping with it, but never breaking free. Imagine waking up clear-headed, energized, and in control—without relying on meds or endless self-care hacks just to get by. It’s possible. Here’s how:
Chronic stress is sabotaging your health—it won’t stop unless you act. Break free in 5 days with my client-proven system—trusted by high performers, including a Fortune 200 CEO—to restore your energy, happiness, and focus. Tap below to join—closing soon https://shorturl.at/YTGW7
Here’s the truth: Your body isn’t broken. It’s doing exactly what it was designed to do—but in the wrong context. Until you build the skills to combat chronic stress, you’ll stay stuck in a cycle of thyroid issues, exhaustion, and anxiety. You have to fix this at the root.
