​
Natural Thyroid Hormone Replacement
​
What is Natural Thyroid Hormone Replacement?
​
Natural thyroid hormone replacement therapy provides a combination of T3 and T4 hormones, mimicking the body's natural thyroid hormone production. Unlike conventional synthetic thyroid medications (such as levothyroxine, which contains only T4), desiccated thyroid extract (NDT) and compounded T3/T4 therapies may offer better symptom relief for certain individuals.
​
Who Benefits from Natural Thyroid Hormone Therapy?
​
If you experience persistent hypothyroid symptoms despite being on levothyroxine, you may benefit from alternative thyroid hormone therapy.
​
Common symptoms include:
-
Fatigue and low energy
-
Weight gain and difficulty losing weight
-
Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
-
Hair thinning or hair loss
-
Cold intolerance and dry skin
At Metta Wellness NW, we evaluate both symptoms and lab results to determine the best treatment plan for long-term thyroid balance.

Natural Thyroid Support
​
How Can You Support Thyroid Health Naturally?
​
Optimizing thyroid function naturally involves improving nutrition, reducing inflammation, and balancing hormone function. Our approach includes:
​
-
Nutrient Optimization – Essential minerals such as iodine, selenium, zinc, and iron are crucial for thyroid hormone production.
-
Gut Health & Inflammation Control – Poor gut health can contribute to thyroid dysfunction and autoimmune thyroid disease.
-
Adrenal & Stress Management – Chronic stress disrupts the thyroid-adrenal axis, leading to hormonal imbalances and worsening symptoms.
-
Lifestyle Adjustments – Quality sleep, toxin reduction, and blood sugar balance play key roles in thyroid function.
How Does Diet Affect Thyroid Health?
​
Your diet plays a critical role in thyroid function and hormone balance. A thyroid-friendly diet includes:
-
Lean proteins, healthy fats, and fiber-rich vegetables
-
Iodine-rich foods (seaweed, fish, eggs)
-
Selenium sources (Brazil nuts, turkey, sunflower seeds)
However, gluten, processed foods, and excessive soy may negatively impact thyroid health, particularly for individuals with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
​
Comprehensive Thyroid Testing in Seattle
​
What Tests Are Included in a Functional Thyroid Panel?
​
Unlike conventional thyroid testing that only evaluates TSH, our comprehensive functional thyroid panel includes:
-
TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) – Regulates thyroid activity
-
Free T3 & Free T4 – Active thyroid hormones influencing metabolism
-
Reverse T3 (rT3) – Measures hormone conversion efficiency
-
Thyroid Antibodies (TPO & TgAb) – Screens for autoimmune thyroid conditions such as Hashimoto’s
-
Ferritin, Vitamin D & More – Evaluates nutrient levels and stress markers affecting thyroid function
