#217 - The 5 Thyroid Markers I Actually Look At (Not Just TSH)

Dela

If your doctor has told you your thyroid looks fine but you don't feel fine, this episode is for you. Johan breaks down a real client case where a "normal" lab result missed autoimmune thyroid disease for a year and a half, and walks through the exact markers, ranges, and lifestyle factors that actually explain how your thyroid is functioning.


In this episode:

  • 00:00 - Why "my labs are normal" doesn't mean your thyroid is actually fine
  • 08:30 - A client with no menstrual cycle for 18 months, and the labs that finally explained why
  • 19:49 - Two clients who brought autoimmune conditions into remission through nutrition and lifestyle
  • 21:53 - What "normal" actually means on a lab report versus what's functionally optimal
  • 32:57 - The 5 thyroid markers to ask for, and what each one does (TSH, T4, T3, reverse T3, TPOAB)
  • 39:37 - The diet and lifestyle factors that push your body toward reverse T3, including iodine, selenium, stress, and undereating
  • 42:06 - Building your own toolkit: Dutch tests, GI maps, and why trends matter more than a single lab result

Johan just released a free guide and symptoms quiz built to help you make sense of your own thyroid labs and symptoms - what's high, what's low, and what it actually means, plus a breakdown of the three factors behind Hashimoto's.

This isn't medical advice, it's the questions to bring to the doctor who gives it.
