Episode #5: In this episode of Fertility Unlocked, Courtney Saye discusses the critical role of thyroid health in fertility, particularly focusing on the limitations of levothyroxine as a treatment for women with thyroid issues. She explores the historical context of thyroid treatments, the importance of T3 in achieving optimal fertility, and the necessity of addressing nutrition and lifestyle factors to support thyroid function. The episode emphasizes the need for women to advocate for their health and understand their treatment options to enhance their chances of conception and overall well-being.
Takeaways:
Levothyroxine may not be sufficient for women trying to conceive. Monitoring TSH and T4 alone can be misleading. Free T3 is essential for fertility and pregnancy. Many women have undiagnosed liver and gut issues affecting thyroid function. Nutrition plays a crucial role in thyroid health. The average active woman requires about 2,500 calories daily. T3 is often misunderstood and deemed dangerous without proper research. Women should advocate for their health and treatment options. Optimizing thyroid health can lead to better overall well-being. The journey to motherhood is intertwined with thyroid health.
