Are you in perimenopause or menopause and wondering what your hormone levels can tell you?

Dr. Roberts explains the benefits of dried urine testing and how it differs from other testing methods.

By collecting samples at multiple points throughout the day, this type of testing can provide additional insight into hormone patterns and how hormone levels change over time, rather than measuring levels at just one moment.

Dr. Roberts discusses two supplements that may play a role in supporting the body’s detoxification processes beyond traditional binders:

🌿Glucomannan—a soluble fiber known for its ability to bind certain substances in the digestive tract.

🌿NAC (N-acetylcysteine)—a compound that supports the production of glutathione, an important antioxidant involved in the body’s natural detoxification pathways.

Why do some people continue to struggle with symptoms while taking mold toxin binders?

Dr. Roberts discusses different approaches to mold detox, including protocols associated with Ritchie Shoemaker, which may include prescription binders such as cholestyramine or colesevelam (Welchol), and approaches discussed by Neil Nathan that may incorporate binders such as bentonite clay or zeolite.

But are all binders right for every person?

Depending on the substance, binders may have different effects, and some can interfere with the absorption or medications or nutrients. That’s one reason it’s important to consider the specific binder, potential risks, and your individual health needs rather than assuming one approach works for everyone.

Dr. Roberts explains why some patients continue to experience symptoms, such as low energy, even after their thyroid labs are checked and their levothyroxine dose is increased.

Levothyroxine (T4) can be converted into both Free T3, an active thyroid hormone, and Reverse T3, an inactive metabolite. However, thyroid hormone levels and persistent symptoms can be influenced by several factors, and increasing T4 doesn’t always resolve the underlying issue.

Dr. Roberts discusses how understanding thyroid hormone conversion and looking at the bigger picture may help guide treatment decisions. For some patients, liothyronine (T3) may be considered as part of an individualized treatment plan.

Still struggling with thyroid symptoms? A more personalized approach may help you explore the factors contributing to how you feel.

We’ve been hearing from many of you that your doctor doesn’t always recommend testing Free T3 because they feel it isn’t necessary.

Dr. Roberts explains what Free T3 can tell you about thyroid function and how it differs from the information provided by TSH and Free T4 testing.

Could additional thyroid testing provide helpful insight into your symptoms? The right approach depends on your individual symptoms, history, and lab results.

Dr. Roberts explains that memory difficulties and trouble concentrating can sometimes be associated with hypothyroidism.

Thyroid hormones play an important role in metabolism and normal brain function. When thyroid hormone levels are too low, some people may experience cognitive symptoms such as forgetfulness, difficulty concentrating, or brain fog.

If you’re experiencing these symptoms and wondering whether your thyroid could be contributing, a personalized evaluation may help provide more insight.
