If this conversion of T4 to T3 is sluggish, you may feel the effects of low thyroid function even if T4 levels are within the normal range.

Many conventional practitioners rely solely on TSH to evaluate thyroid health, which may lead to missed diagnoses. I often see new patients who display classic symptoms of low thyroid function but have been told their thyroid tests are "normal." A comprehensive thyroid panel often reveals underlying issues.
