Fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, hair thinning, low mood, feeling cold all the time…
And even after starting thyroid medication, you still don’t feel better. 😔
So why isn’t it working?
In this episode of The Med Matrix Method, functional medicine provider Colin Renaud, DC, DNM, MS, PA-C, FAAMFM, ABAAHP uncovers one of the most common frustrations in thyroid health: why thyroid medication doesn’t always fix the symptoms.
Many patients are told that once they start thyroid medication, their fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and hormone imbalance should improve. But for many people, symptoms persist — even when labs are considered “normal.”
In this episode, we explore:
✔️ Why thyroid medication doesn’t always relieve symptoms
✔️ The difference between TSH, Free T3, Free T4, and Reverse T3
✔️ Why “normal” thyroid labs can still leave you feeling awful
✔️ The role of poor T4 to T3 conversion
✔️ How chronic stress and elevated cortisol impact thyroid hormones
✔️ Why Hashimoto’s and autoimmune thyroid disease are often missed
✔️ The connection between gut health, inflammation, and thyroid function
✔️ Nutrient deficiencies that block thyroid recovery (selenium, iron, zinc, iodine)
✔️ Why hormone imbalance, insulin resistance, and menopause can mimic thyroid symptoms
✔️ A functional medicine root-cause approach beyond medication
💡 What if the issue isn’t the medication itself… but the deeper reasons your body isn’t responding?
This conversation goes beyond prescriptions and into the root causes of persistent thyroid symptoms, helping you understand why medication alone may not be enough.
If you’ve been told your thyroid labs are fine but still struggle with fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and low energy, this episode may explain why.
