Years of thyroid problems slowly inflames
your liver, so it eventually becomes sluggish.
And a sluggish liver stops doing the two jobs that quietly keep your heart alive:
First, it stops pulling the cholesterol from
your blood. So it builds up in your arteries instead. That's why your numbers keep
climbing at every appointment. That's the
heart attack risk nobody's been telling you about.
Second, it stops activating the hormone
your medication gives you. T4 sits in your blood. Labs look fine. But your cells are starving for T3. That's the weight that won't move. The fatigue. The fog. The hair on your pillow.
