I refused to take GLP-1 and give myself thyroid cancer even though my doctor said it was the only option for me to lose weight and fix my other symptoms. ‎ And it was about 5 months ago when a hashimotos patient walked in and showed me what GLP-1 is actually covering up. ‎ .... ‎ I've been a nurse for 13 years. ‎ I work right beside an endocrinologist. Dr. Marco. And I see the same pattern every single day. ‎ A woman with Hashimoto's walks in. Struggling to lose weight. Talking about how she's starving herself. Some of them actually bring food diaries. Like handwritten logs of everything they eat trying to prove they're not lying. ‎ And the doctor runs her labs. And everything looks normal. TSH normal. T4 normal. Levo dose is right where it should be. ‎ On paper she's fine. ‎ So the only thing he can say is "try cutting out more food." ‎ And I could tell from their faces. Every single time. These women were telling the truth. They weren't sneaking food. They weren't lying about their calories. They were already starving and he's telling them to eat less. ‎ And they'd come back. Time after time. Begging. "Doctor please just check something else. Something is wrong. Please." ‎ And every single time it would end the same way. ‎ "I can put you on a GLP-1. That's what's working for everybody right now. That's what's making everybody lose weight." ‎ And they'd go on it. And they'd lose weight. And they'd come in looking like different people. Lighter. Happier. Like they finally got their life back. ‎ And then they'd come back 3 or 4 years later. ‎ With a thyroid nodule. ‎ And most of the time it was cancer. ‎ I watched this happen over and over. I lost count after 50. ‎ .... ‎ About two years ago it happened to me. ‎ I started noticing the weight going up faster than usual. Brain fog that wouldn't go away. Hair coming out in clumps. Freezing all the time even in the summer. ‎ I went in for a checkup. Full blood panel. ‎ Hashimoto's. ‎ And within a few months I'd gained about 20 pounds doing nothing different. ‎ Dr. Marco looked at my labs. Looked at me. And said "I can prescribe you a GLP-1. You'll lose the weight. You'll feel better. Just take it." ‎ My throat tightened. ‎ GLP-1. ‎ The same medication I've watched give at least 50 women thyroid cancer. ‎ The same prescription I watched my big sister lose her life to. ‎ .... ‎ Because my sister went on it. And at first it was like night and day. Her weight started dropping. Her symptoms disappeared. She felt like a completely normal person again. Like she didn't even have Hashimoto's anymore. ‎ And she was so caught up in finally feeling good that she didn't notice what was happening to her thyroid. ‎ She didn't notice the goiter getting bigger. Didn't notice the cancer progressing. Because she felt amazing. For the first time in years she felt like herself again. ‎ By the time she caught it it was too late. ‎ She had to get her whole thyroid removed. Ended up in a worse place than she started. ‎ And I had to watch that. I had to watch my sister go from finally feeling good to fighting cancer to losing that fight. ‎ .... ‎ So when Dr. Marco handed me that prescription I smiled politely and said I'd think about it. ‎ But I knew I wasn't gonna take it. ‎ I watched too many of my patients go down that road. I watched my own sister go down that road. ‎ I wasn't about to follow them. ‎ I wasn't willing to give myself cancer just to lose weight. I just wasn't. ‎ .... ‎ So I did everything else. ‎ Cut my calories from 1,500 to 1,200 to 1,000 to 700 to basically not eating some days. Cut out gluten. Went dairy-free. Did keto. Did carnivore. Got my levothyroxine adjusted trying to find the perfect dose. ‎ All of it. ‎ And I gained 27 pounds. ‎ Even though my TSH numbers were getting better. Even though on paper everything was improving. Just like all my patients. Numbers look great. Body getting worse. ‎ So at my next checkup when my numbers came back even better Dr. Marco looked at me again and said "I can prescribe some zempic. Just take it. You'll feel better. Trust me." ‎ I told him I needed more time. ‎ But the truth was I didn't know what else to do. ‎ Because I was watching everybody around me. Women just like me. Hashimoto's. Same symptoms. Same struggle. And they'd go on zempic and just... get better. Lose weight. Go back to normal. Like magic. ‎ And there I was. On the other side. Gaining weight. Starving myself. Refusing to take the one thing that was working for everybody else. ‎ Because I knew what it could do to my thyroid. I'd seen it with my own eyes. Over and over and over. ‎ I just wasn't willing to put my body through that risk. ‎ .... ‎ Then about a week ago one of my long-term patients came in for her regular appointment. ‎ Melissa. ‎ And I instantly recognized this woman. Because this is the same woman who cussed out Dr. Marco about a year ago for trying to prescribe her GLP-1. She was in his face going "you don't even wanna check me properly you just wanna take the easy way out and give me cancer." ‎ And when she was here a year ago she looked... bad. The weight gain. The puffiness. The exhaustion. She looked like she was barely holding it together. ‎ But when she walked in last week I almost didn't recognize her. ‎ She looked like a completely different person. In 6 months. ‎ And I kind of asked her how she's managing. Like what changed. ‎ And she said something I did not expect. ‎ "My numbers are actually good now. Like really good. My doctor actually lowered my levothyroxine." ‎ I almost dropped her chart. ‎ "What happened?" ‎ She told me she'd been on this reverse T3 lowering supplement. She found it through her naturopath. ‎ And honestly I was skeptical. After 13 years as a nurse I've watched so many patients try supplements for their thyroid. Bottles and bottles of stuff from Amazon. And most of the time their numbers just get worse. Or nothing changes at all. ‎ But Melissa wasn't like that. Her numbers literally looked the same on paper but she looked like a completely different human being. Like this is something I can only explain if you saw her in person. The difference was that dramatic. ‎ .... ‎ That night I started researching. ‎ I didn't even know what reverse T3 was. She mentioned it like I should know but I'd never heard of it in 13 years of working beside an endocrinologist. ‎ So I started going through PubMed. Research journals. Studies from Duke. Stanford. Johns Hopkins. ‎ And I found something that made everything I've seen in Dr. Marco's patients make sense. ‎ Everything that happened with Melissa. Everything that happened with the women who came in year after year starving themselves with normal labs. ‎ And what I found was so interesting that it changed how I understood everything about Hashimoto's and weight loss. ‎ This is what I learned. ‎ .... ‎ So your thyroid makes this hormone called T4. That's basically all it does. It sends out T4. ‎ But T4 doesn't actually do anything on its own. Your body has to convert it into T3. ‎ T3 is the active hormone. It's the one that actually does everything. ‎ Think about it like keys and locks. ‎ Your cells have these locks on them. T3 is the key that opens them. When the locks open you burn calories. You lose weight. You have energy. You function like a normal person. ‎ But with Hashimoto's your body doesn't convert all that T4 properly. Some of it gets turned into real T3. Real keys. But some of it gets turned into this broken version. Reverse T3. ‎ Broken keys that look exactly like real ones. They slide right into the lock. But they don't turn. They just jam. Get stuck. Block the real keys from getting in. ‎ So nothing opens. Nothing burns. No matter how little you eat. ‎ And your TSH can look totally normal the whole time. ‎ Because TSH just tells you keys are being made. It doesn't tell you if they're broken. Or if your locks are jammed shut. ‎ That's why Dr. Marco's patients always looked normal on paper. That's why MY labs looked normal. Everything fine on the screen. Nothing fine in their bodies. ‎ .... ‎ And here's what made me sick. ‎ Every time I cut my calories lower. From 1,200 to 1,000 to 700. ‎ My body thought I was starving. ‎ So it panicked. ‎ Made MORE broken keys. ‎ Jammed my locks tighter. ‎ Every time I cut out gluten. Went dairy-free. Did keto. Did carnivore. ‎ More stress. More panic. More broken keys. ‎ Every time I adjusted my levo trying to find the right dose. ‎ More T4 coming in. But my stressed out body just turned it into more broken keys. ‎ I was making it worse. For 2 years. And I'm a nurse. I work beside an endocrinologist every day. And neither of us knew. ‎ .... ‎ And here's the interesting part about GLP-1. ‎ GLP-1 works. I know it works. I watched my own sister transform on it. I've watched over 50 patients lose weight on it. It works. ‎ But here's what it's actually doing. ‎ It's not unjamming your locks. It's not clearing the broken keys. ‎ It's just pausing everything. ‎ Your appetite. Your hunger signals. Your stress hormones. All your hormones. Your whole system slows down. ‎ Including the production of broken keys ( reverse t3). ‎ That's why people lose weight on it. That's why their symptoms disappear. That's why they feel like a completely different person. ‎ Everything's on pause. ‎ But the locks are still jammed. The broken keys are still stuck inside. You just can't feel any of it because everything's on pause. ‎ And while everything's on pause. ‎ The GLP-1 is still sitting on your thyroid. Every single day you're on it. ‎ And if you already have Hashimoto's. If your thyroid is already damaged. Already struggling. Already under attack from your own immune system. ‎ You're adding a medication with a black box warning for thyroid cancer on top of a thyroid that's already barely surviving. ‎ That's what happened to my patients. That's what happened to my sister. ‎ .... ‎ So the question became what actually clears the reverse T3, the broken keys. ‎ Because GLP-1 was never an option for me. That was never going to change. But I also couldn't keep starving myself and making more broken keys. ‎ .... ‎ That's when I messaged Melissa. ‎ I asked her about the supplement she mentioned. The reverse T3 thing. I asked her what was actually in it. ‎ She sent me a picture of the ingredients. ‎ And I started researching every single one. ‎ Selenium and iodine in a 2 to 1 ratio. I started pulling up studies on these. Johns Hopkins. Duke. PubMed. And there was actual research showing these two together can lower reverse T3 production. Clear the broken keys. But you need both. One without the other doesn't do anything. ‎ And KSM-66 ashwagandha. Clinical grade. To calm the stress response so your body stops panicking and stops flooding your locks with more broken keys. ‎ Liquid form. Because with Hashimoto's your gut is so damaged pills just pass through without absorbing. ‎ Now. Ashwagandha. ‎ I hear about ashwagandha all the time. Patients are always bringing it up to Dr. Marco. "Is it bad for my thyroid?" Because everywhere online says avoid it. ‎ And honestly it can be. ‎ The random stuff on Amazon with who knows what dose and who knows what's in it. Yeah I've seen patients come in with worse numbers after taking that stuff. ‎ That's why most doctors say avoid it. ‎ But clinical grade. KSM-66. The exact dose that's actually been studied. ‎ That's different. That actually calms the stress response. Stops the panic. Stops the broken keys. ‎ .... ‎ I asked Melissa for the name of the supplement. ‎ She told me "peakform". ‎ I looked at the formula. It had everything. Selenium. Iodine. 2 to 1 ratio. KSM-66 ashwagandha. Liquid. Every single thing the research said was needed to clear reverse T3. ‎ $27. ‎ I've spent 2 years starving myself. I've spent 2 years watching myself get bigger while doing everything right. I've spent 2 years fighting with myself not to take a medication that could give me cancer. ‎ What was another $27. ‎ I ordered it that night. ‎ .... ‎ First few days I didn't notice anything. But I expected nothing because honestly everything I've ever tried has been nothing. ‎ But by the end of the first week the scale didn't go up. It just didn't. ‎ I didn't trust it though. I've seen too many supplements do nothing for too many patients. ‎ Week two I woke up and I wasn't dragging myself out of bed. Like I just woke up. No alarm. Just opened my eyes and got up. I can't remember the last time that happened. I thought maybe I just slept well. But it kept happening. ‎ Week three the scale said I was down 3 pounds. I checked it twice. Same number. And I realized I'd been eating nearly 1400 calories that week. ‎ Week four I was down 5 pounds. The brain fog that I'd been living with for 2 years was lifting. Like I could actually think clearly at work for the first time in forever. Dr. Marco asked me if I was doing something different because I seemed sharper. ‎ Month two I was down 12 pounds. The puffiness in my face was going down. I could see my jawline again. I hadn't seen my jawline in I don't know how long. ‎ I put on scrubs that had been too tight for over a year. They fit. Like actually fit. Not squeezing into them. Just wearing them. ‎ One of my patients who hadn't seen me in a few months stopped and said "you look different. What are you doing." ‎ I just said I figured something out. ‎ Month four. Down 21 pounds. I was eating normal food. Not restricting. Not counting. Not cutting out anything. Just living. ‎ My hair stopped falling out. Like actually stopped. I'd run my hands through it in the shower and nothing would come out. After 2 years of watching clumps go down the drain. ‎ I got my labs done. ‎ My reverse T3 was at the bottom of the range. ‎ I just sat there looking at the number. Because for 2 years I didn't even know this existed. For 2 years I was working beside an endocrinologist and neither of us ever checked for it. And it was the thing that was keeping me stuck the entire time. ‎ .... ‎ I'm not saying this is a miracle. I'm not saying it works for everybody. Maybe your situation is different. ‎ But this is what worked for me. And it's what I've started recommending to my patients who are on GLP-1 to try to get them off it. Because if there's a way to clear the jam without the cancer risk why wouldn't I show them. Why would I let them go through what my sister went through if there's another way. ‎ And the ones I've gotten off it so far? They haven't crashed. They haven't rebounded. Because we're not just pausing everything and hoping for the best. We're actually clearing the broken keys. ‎ And for the women like me who refused GLP-1 from the start. Who watched everybody else lose weight on it while we sat there gaining because we weren't willing to risk our thyroid. ‎ You're not broken. GLP-1 is not the only way. You don't have to choose between losing weight and keeping your thyroid safe. ‎ You just have to clear the jam. ‎ They have a 60 day guarantee so if it doesn't work you get your money back. ‎ They sell out a lot. Had to wait a few weeks once. Just letting you know. ‎ And if any of my patients are reading this. If you're on GLP-1 right now and you're worried about your thyroid. Please come talk to me. I'll help you figure this out. I mean that. ‎ For everybody else. You're not broken. Your locks are just jammed. And you don't need to risk cancer to clear them. ‎ 📢 EDIT: I keep getting messages asking for the link so here it is again: https://peakformnutrition.net/products/peak-form-thyroid-support
