Reverse T3 Dominance Treatment
Reverse T3 dominance treatment should be done under the care of a health practitioner who understands this condition.
Treatment of this thyroid problem usually involves prescribing active T3 and Armour Thyroid, a naturally derived thyroid extract. This reduces the symptoms of low thyroid function and will also slow TSH production. This in effect reduces the bodies own production of T4. With little or no T4 left in the system reverse T3 production eventually decreases. Further, the conversion of T4 into T3 will then no longer be inhibited by the reverse T3 allowing the appropriate activation of T4 into the active T3 form. It is important that T4 (thyroxine) medication is not used alone for this condition. Supplemental T4 may also convert to reverse T3, further driving this thyroid hormone imbalance. Treating the causes of reverse T3 dominance is critical. You will find that treating this thyroid condition is more effective when all aspects of your health are addressed. Reverse T3 dominance treatment includes getting plenty of rest, eliminating as much emotional stress as possible, performing moderate exercise for stress control and avoiding foods that damage the thyroid.
