focuses on T4. Naturopathic doctors are concerned with the body’s ability to convert the inactive T4 to active T3. Even though a patient is taking thyroid medicine, they may still exhibit hypothyroid symptoms due to the inability of the cells to convert inactive T4 to active T3. Additional lab tests need to be ordered to determine whether the conversion is sufficient. In addition, a medication that includes T3 may be prescribed to help correct the thyroid imbalance.
