The Thyroid Test You’re Not Getting (But Should Be) | Beyond the Thyroid Ep. 29

If you’ve been told your thyroid labs are “normal” but you still feel exhausted, can’t lose weight, or deal with brain fog—there’s a test you’re probably missing.

In this episode of Beyond the Thyroid, Dr. Dana Gibbs explains the T3 to reverse T3 (T3/RT3) ratio, a powerful but underused tool for uncovering hidden thyroid dysfunction. Learn why this ratio matters, what can throw it off (like stress and poor sleep), and what steps you can take to get real answers—and real relief.

Dr. Gibbs also introduces her new Thyroid Clarity Checkup Program, a group training designed to help patients get the testing, education, and guidance they need to finally feel better.
