Let's Talk Hypothyroidism with Dana Trentini

A DIFFERENT LOOK AT HYPOTHYROIDISM

With over 1 million Hypothyroid Mom followers over the past decade, I’ve heard it all. There is no better way to learn what actually works to help people feel better than hearing it straight from thyroid patients themselves. Consistent patterns with this many people can’t be mere coincidence. And this has turned my perspective on the treatment of hypothyroidism upside down.

Are you feeling stuck with hypothyroidism and ready for a radically different approach? Book an individual session with me today and let’s create your action plan.

At the end of our session, I’ll send a summary email with hypothyroidism resources you’ll never find anywhere else. Are you ready to feel better with hypothyroidism, finally?

BONUS

If you’ve followed me at Hypothyroid Mom for any length of time, you know that the biggest problem that hypothyroidism patients face is finding a good thyroid doctor. Here’s the thing. Levothyroxine medications DON’T work for everyone.

This includes levothyroxine generics as well as brands including Synthroid, Levothroid, Levoxyl, Unithroid, Tirosint, Eltroxin, and PMS-Levothyroxine, Euthyrox, Thyroxine, Berlthyrox, Droxine, Eferox, Elthyrone, Eltroxin, Eutirox, Letrox, Levaxin, Levotirox, Levothyrox, Levotiroxina, Oroxine, T4KP, Thevier, Throxinique, Thyradin, Thyradin S, Thyrax, Thyrax Duotab, Thyrex, Thyro-4, Thyrosit, Thyroxin, Thyroxin-Natrium, and Tiroidine.

Levothyroxine contains inactive T4 thyroid hormone. That T4 must be converted by the body to the active T3 thyroid hormone that does the job of binding to the receptors in the cells. Organs all over the body desperately need T3. But for many of us, our bodies don’t do that T4 to T3 conversion efficiently and we are stuck symptomatic despite “normal” thyroid labs.

With levothyroxine strongly entrenched in mainstream medicine, most doctors will refuse you alternative T3 medications and natural desiccated thyroid NDT. And then even when you find a doctor who will write a prescription for T3 and NDT, often times they don’t have the expertise to determine the right dosage to relieve your symptoms.

This is why I’ve made it my mission for years to compile good thyroid doctor recommendations from my many followers that have been lucky to find great doctors that prescribe T3 and NDT and finally got their lives back. I now have long thyroid doctor lists for every U.S. state (many accept insurance and Medicare too!), as well as the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, South Africa,, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Finland, Netherlands, France, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Romania, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico and New Zealand.

*The sessions are delivered via Zoom all around the world. Or by phone, if you prefer, in the U.S. and Canada.

ONE CONVERSATION CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING

I saw the effects of thyroid disease on my career

I’ve suffered my whole life with hypothyroidism including hair loss, feeling cold all the time, weight gain, lethargy, and attention span. I saw the effects of thyroid disease on my small business but I am on the right track now. And it is all because of you, Dana.

Exceptional resource for parents of hypothyroid children

I am a mother of a hypothyroid daughter. Always searching and worrying about her future. Dana opened my eyes and the unknown became a familiar truth. It is a must for any mother who wants information to guide her child through this journey.

From unable to work to thriving

The day I happened upon Hypothyroid Mom, Dana’s story sounded just like mine. I sought the help of a doctor who diagnosed me with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, adrenal fatigue, Cushing’s disease, insulin resistance & fibromyalgia. From unable to work, I’m now working full time while studying for my degree!

Two sons, same metabolic disorder known as Congenital Hypothyroidism CH, two very different futures. One started kindergarten, the other requires 24 hour supervision and a GPS tracker in case of elopement #Autism (CH not detected on newborn screening).
