REVIEW: In illness, T3 testing is more reliable than TSH
In Chatizomaris et al’s (2017) article, Table 2 illustrates the many health conditions — beyond thyroid gland failure — in which a TSH test result is NOT indicative of the patient’s true thyroid hormone status. The table shows what usually happens to thyroid hormones and TSH in a patient who is NOT taking any thyroid…

REVIEW: Non-thyroidal influences on thyroid hormones
This excellent scientific article by Chatzitomaris et al discusses the various NON-thyroidal causes of thyroid hormone T4, T3 and pituitary TSH imbalance.

Cardiovascular disease research should focus more on patients’ T3 levels than TSH
Science has already shown that at T3 is more important than TSH to the functional parameters of the cardiovascular system: At the molecular and tissue level, the T3 hormone directly affects the cardiovascular system in a myriad of important ways (see “Low T3’s effects on the cardiovascular system.”) Why, then, when researchers shift their focus…

Low T3 effects on the cardiovascular system
When people think of cardiovascular symptoms and thyroid hormones, they usually think first about hyperthyroidism (excess thyroid hormone). However, hypothyroidism (deficient thyroid hormone) has an equally powerful effect on the heart and blood vessels. It can just be slower, more long-term, and less dramatic. Did you know? Heart failure occurs in hypothyroidism, too. (See below)…
