TIMESTAMP:

Reason 1: 1:48 - You're taking your meds with coffee and within an hour of eating.

Reason 2: 1:55 - You're not taking it at the same time every day.

Reason 3: 2:17 - You're not converting T4 into T3.
Levothyroxine contains a less active but longer-acting T4 hormone only. T4 still needs to be converted to T3 the more active thyroid hormone. T3 tells our body to boost metabolism, grow hair and create more energy.That's why many of us don't see results.
This can be because of GI absorption issues, liver issues, and nutrient deficiencies like B1, selenium, magnesium, zinc, vitamin D, B12.
These are all common deficiencies in those with Lupus and or Hashimotos.

4:00 gluten, dairy issues why is it a thing now?

Reason 4: 5:13 - Don't take supplements within 4 hours of taking your meds.
Changing your thyroid medication may help you a

SOLUTIONS:
Reason 1: 5:50 - Take it right when you get up with a full glass of water only (no coffee or food for 2+hours).
By the time you're doing getting ready, an hour can pass by and you're ready for bkft.
Comment below reason 1 if this is you!

Reason 2: 6:31 - You're not taking it at the same time every day. This is important. Maybe take it at night...
Comment reason 2 below!

Reason 3: 7:02 - You're not converting the T4 into T3. By fixing your nutrient deficiencies, this will help too. But, remember, don't take these around the same time as your thyroid meds.

Natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) which is a form that is natural and our body recognizes, it is animal-based. It's a mix of T4 and T3. These are from the thyroid gland of pigs and are considered bio-identical to our hormones. NDT also has T1 and T3 hormones which have great effects for us too.
If your doctor gives you a hard time and says there are no studies that prove T3/T4 combinations are better and he won't give you a full thyroid panel, find a new doctor who will take the time to learn more about how the thyroid works. The studies that suggest that are funded by pharmaceutical companies that make the meds. Also, the consistency of these meds when they are made at compounding pharmacies are a lot more reliable now as compared to 30 years ago.

Reason 4: 8:43 - Supplements and meds that interact
Supplements: foods rich in iron, fiber or calcium like calcium-fortified OJ or yogurt, as well as those supplements, should be avoided for at least 2 hours.

Antibiotics like Cipro is known to decrease the absorption a lot so its levofloxacin and others in the quinolone family.
Antidepressants
cholesterol
