Are you new to the whole thyroid thing? If so, this is the video for you. I am going to walk you through the importance of reverse T3 and why you NEED to get this thyroid lab test.

You will learn what it actually means, how it compares to other thyroid lab tests, and why your doctor just isn't willing to order it.

Reverse T3 is best described as an anti thyroid metabolite which competes with the active and most powerful thyroid hormone free T3.

The more reverse T3 that you have in your body the HARDER it will be for your thyroid to work and the WORSE you will feel.
