Understanding Thyroid Function and Health

I'm going to teach you more in the next 60 seconds

about the thyroid than most board-certified endocrinologists know.

I call it Hashimoto's nonsense, pushing thyroid medication.

You want to talk about a pandemic in this country,

we have a pandemic of medicating organs

in the body that have done nothing wrong.

So bear with me here.

And by the way, I'm a scientist and not an artist.

So thyroid gland is right here in the neck.

It produces two hormones.

It produces T4 and it produces something called T3.

Only here's the little known secret about the thyroid.

It only produces 20%

of this hormone of T3.

But wait a second, we're diagnosing hypothyroid,

but it's only responsible for 20% of the thyroid in my bloodstream.

So the question is, where does the rest of it come from?

Where does the 80% come from?

I mean, if I was a detective

and a crime had just been committed

and there was an 80% chance that one guy did it

and a 20% chance that somebody else did it,

I'd probably investigate the 80% guy first, right?

That's not what we do.

We immediately hold the thyroid responsible for a crime.

It only has 20% chance of committing.

So where does the rest of that hormone come from?

In Hashimoto's, it comes from T4.

It's methylated.

This doesn't even happen in the thyroid.

Yet when it's low, we medicate the thyroid.

The only guarantee if you're on thyroid medication is that

your dosage will increase. That's the only guarantee.

Because you are killing the thyroid.

Eventually it succeeds in completely beating the thyroid into submission

and now you are permanently reliant on levothyroxine, Synthroid, Armour.

But if we understood that T4 is converted into T3

by the process called methylation and that is the suite of B vitamins,

Pyridoxine, Riboflavin, Thiamine, Niacin and Panathenic Acid and

if we put those back into the human body,

it can start to perform this function

again and the thyroid disease goes away.

People say it all the time. Gary, you cured my thyroid.

I said, no, I didn't.

There was nothing wrong with your thyroid.

I fixed how your body uses the raw material.

This is what 10X Health does, right?

We fix people by empowering the human body to do what it does best.

I promise you this,

there is no better hormone in the human body than when you produce yourself.
