# How to Use Thyroid Medication

*Book 4 of the Healing Metabolism Series*

## Are You Using Thyroid Medication Or A Thyroid Support Supplement — But Still Experiencing Symptoms?

Are you taking thyroid medication—such as levothyroxine, a T4 + T3 combination, or NDT—or using an over-the-counter thyroid-support supplement, such as a thyroid glandular? If so, this book is for you.

In this book, Dr. Benedicte Lerche (MSc, PhD) demystifies thyroid hormone replacement therapy and explains why so many people with low thyroid function continue to experience symptoms while taking T4-only medications.

Drawing on Dr. Ray Peat’s groundbreaking research, she makes a compelling case for combining T4 with the right amount of T3. She explains how to use synthetic thyroid hormones, natural desiccated thyroid (NDT), and over-the-counter thyroid supplements, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a T4-to-T3 ratio that mirrors the normal secretion pattern of a healthy human thyroid gland.

## Dr. Ray Peat'S Unique Thyroid Treatment Protocol

The late Dr. Ray Peat, a leading thyroid expert, helped Dr. Lerche—and countless other patients—finally recover from persistent low-thyroid symptoms. He advocated using T4 and T3 in a ratio that mimics the thyroid gland’s natural production of these hormones, thereby optimizing the treatment of hypothyroidism, including Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
