People should realize just how crucial thyroid hormones are for fat loss and for overall good health and balance. When the thyroid isn’t working impairment in thyroid hormone production, such as seen in the case of hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), leads to a sluggish metabolism, intolerance to cold, and a diminishing capacity to break fat storage for energy.

The principle thyroid hormones are T4 (tyroxine) and T3 (triiodothyronine). T3, the active hormone, is 7-10 times more potent than T4, which is actually a pro-hormone the key hormone here is T3 so we need to convert as much as possible from T4. In a healthy body up t...
