Levo HAS to be linked to weight gain, right? I don't understand how getting medicated to be normal Or even just a simple dose adjustment Makes me balloon up 10, 15, even 25 pounds just in a month. I've been cursed with hypothyroidism for 7 years. And my doctors watched me morph into someone not me. ======== Was I really crazy? Or is weight gain. Fatigue. Constant freezing and brain fog. Not screaming signs of untreated hypothyroidism? ======== I finally got medicated in 2022. Ready to feel and look normal again. Even though I forgot what normal felt like. I wanted it so bad. ======== My 2am searches would look something like "how long until levothyroxine helps weight". And those searches would give me hope. With search results saying "you'll lose weight on it". But I would take a look on Reddit and Facebook groups. And not a single good experience in sight. There was an overwhelming amount of bad stories talking about how weight didn't budge and actually made them gain more weight. I felt kinda heavy in the chest reading through the quotes. Knowing I had a chance of ending up like that. ======== (Spoiler alert: I ended up like that). And all my doctors would tell me is "take your medicine you'll be fine". LIKE SHUT UP WITH THAT CRAP. I'M TAKING MY MEDICINE RIGHT AS WELL AS EVERYTHING ELSE. HOW IS THE LEVO MAKING ME WORSE THAN BEFORE? ISN'T MEDICATION SUPPOSED TO CURE SYMPTOMS? WHY AM I STILL GAINING WEIGHT EATING 1000 CALORIES A DAY??? ======== I would balloon 10 pounds a month. And the weight gain would be the worst right after getting my dose adjusted. Funny thing is. They wouldn't adjust my dose based on my symptoms. But on my TSH. A LAB NUMBER!!! WHEN THERE WAS A PERSON IN FRONT OF THEM TELLING THEM HOW THEY FELT!! ======== I switched doctors 4 times because of this. And also went to 2 endocrinologists like they would be any different. All of them were the same. There were days, actually EVERYDAY, I would look in the mirror and could not and would not want to recognize myself. I felt so uncomfortable and ugly in my skin. I did not want people who knew me to see me like this. The change in my body was so weird and hopeless. I was trying to wait for the "perfect dose of levo". When my doctors didn't even give a crap about the symptoms but only the numbers. ======== I remember my breaking point. Which was at an endocrinologist. The 3rd endocrinologist to be exact. He checked my lab numbers. And OF COURSE they were fine. Meaning nothing had to be done. And I was "stressed", and "depressed" and needed anti-depressants. But this visit, I wasn't letting $600 go to waste. I wanted to speak up. I wanted him to know beyond the lab numbers, what I was actually feeling and trying. I was telling him about my diet. How I've been eating 1000 calories since I got on levo. Trying keto, carnivore, gluten-free, intermittent fasting. Supplementing with Vitamin D and B12, HRT. All for none of them to work. Like I just had to get everything off my chest. Because I paid. And I deserve to get proper care. He looked at me dead in the eyes. And told me. "Your fat because you eat too much, your not tracking properly, I can pull up all the studies in the world to show you that levo makes you lose weight". I was frozen. Was I just broken like the other women on Reddit? Was I never going to be ME again? I just broke down on spot. And ran out of the office. I had no clue what to feel. Having your doctors on one side telling you your thyroid is fine. And levo is supposed to make you lose weight. And on the other side. Doing everything perfectly. Just for your body not to respond. And hopeless thoughts filling your brain. I cancelled my follow up with the endo. Because I wasn't paying another $500 for that a**hole to insult me again. I bed rotted for 1 week straight after that incident. Called in sick every day. If you know, you know. ======== Then Saturday at lunch, my phone rang. I wasn't expecting a phone call. Turned out to be same endo office that destroyed me. I told them "Melissa's not here, call next time," I said. "Can you come in Monday? It's Dr. Margaret. I really want to discuss something with you." Dr. Margaret. Why would she want me coming in to her office? Turns out she'd reviewed my file after I left. And saw something the other doctors completely ignored. I slightly remembered her name being mentioned in the Reddit threads. The desperate ones I scrolled through at 3am for a magical pill or something to work. "Yeah sure." I had nothing to lose. Right? ======== It was Monday. Sitting right in front of her. She asked me to explain what I was going through. And I vented. How miserable my life became. How I was eating 1000 calories to GAIN weight. How the constant medication adjustments didn't do a thing. Just everything that was eating me from the inside out. ======== I thought I was hallucinating but. She was listening to me. WITH HER EYES OPEN. A sympathetic look on her face. I almost cried seeing that. So I kept going. Venting for 30 minutes straight. ======== She gave me the hug I needed so bad. I never thought I'd be in the comfort of a doctor. Then she started explaining about this hormone called Reverse T3. The literal reason I was on the verge of insanity and not losing anything. She asked me if I knew what levothyroxine actually is. I didn't actually know. She gave me a whole explanation on how it worked. I took notes so I could remember but here's what she said. ======== Levothyroxine is T4. That's it. Just T4. T4 is a hormone your thyroid makes. But here's the thing. T4 doesn't do anything. It just floats around. Useless. Waiting. My whole body went cold hearing this. ======== Your body has to convert T4 into something called T3. T3 is the one that actually works. T3 is what burns calories. What gives you energy. What keeps you thin. Without T3, your metabolism doesn't run. So when you take levo, you're not getting the thing that burns fat. You're getting the raw material. And your body has to turn it into the real thing. But with hypothyroidism? That conversion is broken. Instead of turning T4 into T3... Your body turns it into Reverse T3. A fake. I felt my chest tighten. This was already making too much sense. ======== She told me to think of my metabolism like a bunch of locks waiting to be opened to work. T3 are the keys that open it. Reverse T3 looks exactly like T3. Same shape. Fits the same locks. But when they go in — they jam the locks. They get stuck and won't turn. Now the real keys can't get in. Locks stay shut. And nothing burns. I was literally shaking. This explained EVERYTHING. ======== That's what's happening inside me. My locks are jammed with broken keys. And every time my doctor increased my dose? More T4 flooding in. Converting to more Reverse T3. More broken keys. Jamming more locks. That's why I gained weight after every adjustment. I wasn't getting more metabolism. I was blocking it. ======== Then she said something that made my stomach drop. Those 1000 calorie days? The keto? The fasting? They made it even worse. When you starve yourself, your body panics. It thinks it's dying. So it slows everything down to survive. How? By making MORE Reverse T3. Every diet I did was jamming my locks tighter. I wasn't fixing anything. I was making it worse. From both directions. I wanted to scream. I'd been torturing myself for NOTHING. Actually worse than nothing. I was sabotaging myself the whole time. ======== My co-worker who eats 4 baguettes at noon because she's "hungry"? Her locks are clear. Mine are jammed shut. And no doctor ever thought to check. ======== "Please prescribe me something," I asked. She sighed. I could tell she was watching her words carefully. She couldn't officially recommend a specific brand. But she could give me the roadmap. Started typing on her computer. Writing things down. 5 minutes later, she gave me a list. ======== "Try to find these ingredients in these EXACT ratios. It's the only way to fix the conversion problem." Selenium (200mcg). I'd never even heard of this being important. She said it stops making Reverse T3 and makes real T3 instead. Ashwagandha (300mg). Drops stress hormones by 30%. I thought about all those cortisol-spiking diets I'd been doing. L-Tyrosine (500mg). Building block for thyroid hormones. Like trying to bake without flour. Zinc (15mg). Makes cells actually use T3. You can have perfect T3 levels but if your cells can't receive it, nothing happens. Iodine (100mcg). Perfect 2:1 ratio with selenium. Too much triggers flares. Too little and nothing works. Vitamin D3 (1000 IU). Calms inflammation. ======== I left her office with that piece of paper clutched in my hand like it was a winning lottery ticket. Went home immediately. Down the rabbit hole on Google. Most supplements had 1, maybe 2 ingredients. Nothing had all of them. And definitely not in these exact ratios. ======== Then I went on Reddit. r/Hypothyroidism. Deep in a venting thread. Girls talking about the same levothyroxine dose and doctor problems. The same weight gain. The same hopelessness. If you know, you know. And I saw something. A glimmer of hope. Girls talking about something called PeakForm. "Down 8 lbs in 3 weeks after 2 years of NOTHING working" "I'm crying. My energy is back. I forgot what it felt like to not be exhausted at 2pm." "6 weeks in - down 11 lbs eating 1,800 calories. My endo is SHOOK." "Listen... I've tried EVERYTHING. This is the only thing that actually cleared my Reverse T3. Labs proved it." ======== It had EVERYTHING Dr. Margaret talked about! Every ingredient. Exact ratios. And reviews from girls going through the same exact situation. $32 a month seemed insanely cheap. ======== Considering all the supplements in my drawer. All the supplements I bought from stores and Instagram ads. Hormone replacement therapy. The Ozempic I nearly bought. The weight loss programs. At least $3,000 wasted. What was another $32? ======== It arrived in plain packaging in 13 days. One dropper daily with my thyroid meds. I had to confirm with my general doctor (the one who laughed). Showed her the bottle. "Yeah just minerals, you're fine." So I began. ======== My 12 Week Journey Day 4: Scale didn't move. But my rings fit. Fingers weren't puffy for the first time in forever. Day 7: Down 0.8 lbs. Ate 1,400 calories. More than I was eating before. And the scale went down. I stared at it for like 5 minutes. Day 12: Gained 0.3 lbs back. Almost spiraled. But I wasn't exhausted. That was new. Day 16: Down 1.4 lbs total. Walked to the mailbox without needing to sit after. That sounds pathetic but if you know you know. Day 21: Made it to 3pm without feeling like a zombie. No Red Bull. Actually followed a conversation in a meeting. Day 28: Down 2.9 lbs. Looked in the mirror and my face wasn't as puffy. I could kinda see my jaw again. Week 5: Gained 0.4 lbs. Panicked. Almost quit. Reminded myself my energy was still better. Kept going. Week 6: Down 5.1 lbs total. Coworker asked if I changed my hair. I didn't. My face just looked different. Less swollen. Week 8: Down 7.8 lbs. Went to dinner with my sister. Didn't cancel last minute. Didn't sit there wishing I was in bed. If you know how rare that is, you know. Week 10: Down 10.2 lbs. Wore jeans. Real jeans. Not leggings. Didn't want to rip them off by noon. Week 12: Down 12.4 lbs eating 1,800 calories a day. Still not where I want to be. But the girl who was starving on 1000 calories and gaining and couldn't walk to the bathroom without almost passing out and called in sick for a week and hid from everyone she knew? She's gone. I'm coming back. ME. ======== On week 13 I followed up with Dr. Margaret. Walked in and the first thing she said was. "I knew you could find it," she said. I never ran that fast to give someone a hug before. We measured my TSH. Now 1.5 (actually optimal). I showed her the PeakForm bottle. She read the ingredients. "That's the exact combination I was hoping you'd find." ======== 5 months later, I'm a different person. No, that's wrong. I'm ME again. The me who doesn't gain 2 pounds eating 900 calories. The me who wears size 14, not 18. The me who stays awake past 2pm without 4 Red Bulls. The me who existed before hypothyroidism stole everything. ======== Because here's what still makes me absolutely RAGE: I ate 900 calories for TWO YEARS. Stomach acid burning my insides. Gained 60 pounds. GAINED. And what did 13 doctors say? "Your TSH is perfect." "Maybe exercise more." "Are you tracking correctly?" One actually LAUGHED. While I was literally dying in front of her. ======== They could've tested Reverse T3. They could've mentioned selenium deficiency. They could've cared that I was disappearing. But they didn't. Just kept raising my levothyroxine. Making MORE fake keys. While I lost everything. ======== Listen, I spent 2 years and $3,000 trying to fix this: 13 doctors ($200 copays each) HRT (DID NOTHING TOO) Armour thyroid (nothing) Keto, carnivore, IF (gained faster) Supplements that did nothing $400/month on Red Bulls Over $3,000 wasted. Because not ONE doctor would test Reverse T3. ======== So ladies. If you're struggling with weight loss and hypothyroidism. If you're doing everything right and still gaining weight. If doctors keep dismissing you. If you know exactly what I'm talking about. I can tell you from my heart: IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT. You're not broken. You're not unfixable.
