What Can T2 Thyroid Hormone Do to Your Health?

T2 refers to 3,5-diiodo-L-thyronine, which is considered to be a bio-identical hormone that looks identical to the same T2 that your body produces in a healthy state. T2 appears to be one of the most important thyroid hormones for regulating metabolism. The higher your basal metabolic rate is, the easier it is to lose weight. Unlike white fat, brown fat is more metabolically active if you want to lose weight because it helps your body burn fat and increases heat production, also known as thermogenesis. For a long time, T2 is considered only from your body by breaking down T4 and T3. But there is clear evidence now that your thyroid is actively making T2. If you have thyroid disease, you may be low in T2 and it is often ignored how important T2 is to your body. Some studies showed people who had their thyroid removed only produce half the amount of T2. Studies have shown those with low levels of thyroid hormone often have higher levels of blood cholesterol. T2 is required to activate many detoxification enzymes. T2 also increases the energy production from mitochondria. People who take thyroid hormone replacement are not producing enough T2 compared to healthy populations, this also applies to pregnant women, who are not producing enough T2. 

Let’s dive into the functions of different thyroid hormones. T4 is the main thyroid hormone, which is high in hyperthyroidism or too much T4 medication. It can be low for untreated hypothyroidism or those who take T3 medication only. T3 is the active thyroid hormone precursor to T2. Low in some on T4 medication and high in hyperthyroidism or those who are on T3 medication. Reverse T3 is a form of deactivated T4, which is high in those with inflammatory conditions. Instead of creating T3, your body starts to create reverse T3 due to inflammation, toxicity, poor gut health, and sleep deprivation, which blocks the function of T3 leading to a decreased metabolism. T2 is an important thyroid hormone that is low in those who take thyroid medication or the elderly. Lack of T2 can cause hypothyroidism symptoms. Currently, there is no test for it.

Here are some important functions of T2:

• Increases basal metabolic rate and boosts weight loss.
• Increases brown fat and optimizes muscle mass.
• Prevents insulin resistance.
• Increases mitochondria energy production.
• Improves cholesterol profile.
• Prevents cancers.

An interesting point about T2 is that it is available over the counter, which means you don’t need a prescription to get it. However, synthetic T2 in the pills is not the same as the T2 your body produces and it can be dangerous. A few studies suggest that the dosage of T2 should not exceed 300 mcg per day. higher doses of T2 can cause damage and have been shown to cause cardiac damage in just four weeks. T2 does have a weak affinity for the T3 receptor, but it can cause hyperthyroid symptoms when dosing exceeds 300 mcg per day. Another problem is that T2 supplementation can bioaccumulate to dangerous levels within the liver. The best way to optimize your T2 production is to optimize your thyroid function with a healthy diet and nutritional supplements, such as selenium, which helps glutathione production to protect the thyroid gland; iodine, which is a base molecule for the thyroid hormones; curcumin, which protects the thyroid gland and reduces inflammation; tyrosine, which is an amino acid that supports levels of the thyroid hormones T4 and T3, the body cells combine iodine with the amino acid tyrosine to make T3 and T4; and Schisandra berries, which help reduce heavy metal toxicity that is associated with a greater risk of thyroid autoimmunity. These are just a few key nutrients.

I am going to give a talk on "Unlock the Cosmic Codes" on Nov.28th in the evening at the Art Centre in Parksville. This is a very interesting topic, it links to our health especially heart function as well from an energetic point of view. Here are some highlights of my talk:

• The cosmic codes of death, rebirth, and evolution.
• The connection of DNA, light, sound, frequencies, and Sacred Geometry.
• What are the mechanism and fundamental principles of cosmic evolution including stars and species?
• How can life be formed in the simplest way without intervention? What is the energetic connection between the heart and Mother Earth?
• How to predict cosmic cycles and events from quantum physics and Yugas?
• Why is light body activation so important for ascension and how to achieve it?
• How to activate 5D Stargate for ascension?
• How to harness ancient universal languages to raise your vibration, sharpen your intuition, boost your creativity and manifestation power, and bring enlightenment and high consciousness to your body, mind, and spirit.

The ticket is by donation, and I am looking forward to seeing you there. Please check my poster below for more details.
