The Truth About Reverse T3: It’s Not Blocking Your Thyroid!

In this Thyroid Thursday episode, I’m breaking down the confusion around T3 and reverse T3. Many people tell me they felt better at first when their doctors increased their T3 doses—but then things crashed. This often happens because T3 is being used to force the system instead of fixing the root cause. Elevated reverse T3 isn’t blocking your T3 from working; it’s a sign your body is under stress and adaptively slowing down metabolism to protect itself. Simply adding more T3 or removing T4 doesn’t solve the issue—in fact, it can make things worse by suppressing TSH, lowering natural T4 production, and leaving your body without the raw materials it needs to maintain balance. If you’re chasing symptoms or lab numbers with T3-only therapy, you could be on a slippery slope. T3 has a short half-life, and without enough T4 in circulation, your body can’t sustain adequate thyroid function throughout the day. The real question isn’t “How do I lower reverse T3?”—it’s “What’s causing my body to deactivate T4 in the first place?” Whether it’s chronic stress, inflammation, infections, or toxins, we need to identify and address those root causes rather than just managing lab values.
