@bebalancedbymicaela: 12 years I was exhausted, puffy, inflamed, losing hair, and gaining weight. I went to every single doctor you could imagine and they all told me I was crazy but later I found out my body was in complete dysfunction. What worked: ✓ Getting comprehensive labs done ✓ Lowered cortisol ✓ Stopped under-eating ✓ Healed my gut ✓ Supported my liver ✓ Repleted nutrients (selenium, iron!, zinc) ✓ Removed gluten optimal thyroid lab ranges to look for TSH: 1.0 – 2.0 mIU/L Free T3: 3.1 – 3.9 pg/mL Free T4: 1.1 – 1.7 ng/dL TPO Antibodies: <15 IU/mL Reverse T3: 9 – 15 ng/dL You have to start looking deeper! #hormoneimbalance #guthealth #hypothyroidism #cortisollevels
