Hello Reader, If you’ve been told your blood tests are “normal”... And someone finally told you: “You might need T3 – the active thyroid hormone your cells actually use”... Your next thought is probably: “OK, but how do I get T3 if my doctor won’t prescribe it?” That’s what this email is about. How To Get The Thyroid Hormone You Need To Thrive {It's not Levo}I’m going to walk you through exactly how I got T3 (liothyronine) through the NHS – and how you can do it too. And while this is focused on the UK system, the same strategies can help wherever you are. Because no matter the country, most health systems need you to make the case. What most people don’t knowGPs in the UK can’t prescribe T3 themselves. That’s the gatekeeper. And that’s where the resistance often starts. Here’s how to build your case:1. Know what the guidelines say (and take them with you) ✅ Bring a printout. 2. Don’t just list symptoms. Show how it’s affecting your life. Talk about:
This is the heart of your case. It’s not just about symptoms. It’s about suffering. 3. Be clear you’re doing everything right with your meds. So go in ready:
If you’re doing all that and still not well? That’s evidence. Not failure. What to say to your doctorIf you want to take the pressure off in the moment, send a short letter ahead of your appointment outlining:
If they refuse, ask for the reasons in writing. And if you’re still getting nowhere?Yes, you can explore private options. Just know this: T3 can be a game-changer for so many people. The quiet truth no one tells you?If your body isn’t converting T4 into T3 properly, it doesn’t matter how “normal” your labs look – you’ll stay stuck. Over time, your body is essentially being starved of the hormone it desperately needs. From blood sugar issues and rising cholesterol to low mood, inflammation, and even autoimmunity spiralling out of control. 🔥 You deserve better. Keep pushing. This is your life. And it’s worth fighting for. With love and fire, PLEASE NOTE - I am NOT a Doctor or Medical Professional of any kind. |

Hi Reader, Let’s talk about something I see all the time in my community - and maybe you’ve thought it too: “I’ll never feel better unless I can afford functional medicine doctors... all their tests, all their supplements… and I just don't have that kind of money” It’s an easy belief to fall into. Especially when you’re exhausted, foggy, gaining weight without explanation, and your doctor keeps telling you your bloods are “fine.” So many women I speak to feel trapped - like there’s a secret...
Hey love, If you’ve been told your blood tests are “normal”...But you’re still exhausted. Still gaining weight.

Hi Reader, I've been thinking about you this week. About how hard you're trying. About how shattered you probably feel right now. Can I share something deeply personal with you? Something I don't talk about often? When my kids were little, I was drowning in exhaustion that no one could explain. The doctors kept telling me I was "fine" - that my labs were "normal" - while I physically couldn't make it up a flight of stairs without stopping to catch my breath. I remember what it feels like?...
