Most people think the thyroid makes all the Thyroid hormones it needs for energy and metabolism. But that’s not the full picture What Your Thyroid Produces - Your thyroid produces virtually all of your body’s T4 (thyroxine) — the storage form of thyroid hormone. - It also makes some T3 (triiodothyronine), the active form that revs up metabolism. - But here’s the catch: only about 20% of your T3 comes directly from the thyroid. Where Most of Your T3 Comes From - Roughly 80% of your active T3 is made outside the thyroid in your peripheral tissues. These include - - Liver – the main hub for T4 → T3 conversion - Kidneys – important secondary site - Skeletal muscle – regulates local energy - Gut & microbiome – essential for proper activation - Brain & nervous system – ensures local supply of T3 - Fat tissue – influences metabolism and energy balance These tissues act like factories, taking T4 from the thyroid and converting it into the active, fat-burning, energy-producing T3. Here's the Limiting Factor that no one really talks about. The Reverse T3 Factor (RT3) - Sometimes, instead of making active T3, the body converts T4 into Reverse T3 (RT3). - RT3 is inactive — it binds to thyroid receptors but blocks T3 from working. - Stress, illness, toxins, and nutrient deficiencies can all push conversion toward RT3. FitnHealthy Tip - Your thyroid makes the raw material (T4 and some T3).But the real control over metabolism, energy, and fat loss happens in your liver, gut, kidneys, muscles, brain, and fat tissue. If you only look at the thyroid, you miss the bigger picture of thyroid conversion and the role of stress, nutrients, and lifestyle in keeping your metabolism strong. If Roughly 80% of your active T3 is made outside the thyroid in your peripheral tissues, do you want to know more about how best to make that happen? What to test for? Why?

The old-school model says - - Eat 2,000 calories therefore your body “gets” 2,000 calories. - Burn 2,000 calories = balance. But in reality, the MICROBIOME (gut bacteria) acts like a middleman that decides how much of those calories your body actually absorbs. Firmicutes vs. Bacteroides Example Person A (more Firmicutes) - - Eats 2,000 calories. - Firmicutes extract extra energy from carbs and fiber. - Maybe they actually absorb 2,200+ calories worth. - Excess energy stored as fat. Person B (more Bacteroides) - - Eats 2,000 calories. - Less efficient at extracting calories so maybe they absorb 1,800–1,900 calories. - More food passes through unabsorbed resulting in less fat gain. So two people, same meal, same exercise… totally different fat gain outcomes. Why This Matters in Weight Loss - It explains why some people feel like they “gain weight just looking at food.” - It also explains why calorie-restriction diets sometimes fail as the microbiome is still extracting extra calories. - Addressing the gut balance (Firmicutes down, Bacteroides up) makes the “calories in” part of the equation more favorable. FitnHealthy Forever Tip - The same 2,000 calories on a nutrition label is not the same 2,000 calories once the microbiome processes it. What questions did this create in your Mind? ✅

NOW YOU KNOW - When you cut seed oils, something amazing starts happening: your body begins to rebuild itself from the inside out. But here’s the catch… - Natural Pathway- If you only remove seed oils, your body will repair slowly. It takes about 2–4 years to burn through the rancid fats stored in your tissues. Yes, you’ll feel better, but it’s a long, gradual process. - Accelerated Pathway- With intracellular detox (using UNDAs, guided protocols, or working with an intracellular detox specialist - like Michale), you can open up drainage pathways, release toxic fats and chemicals from your cells, and finish the job in far, far less time. Think of it like cleaning your house - - The Natural Pathway is letting the dust settle and sweeping once in a while. - The Accelerated Pathway is hiring a professional deep-clean team with the right tools. Both get the job done… but one leaves you with a clean, vibrant space much faster. FitnHealthy Tip - Cutting seed oils sets the stage. Intracellular detox supercharges the process — allowing you to repair your mitochondria, restore clean energy, and protect yourself from chronic disease in a fraction of the time. Question for you - Which path do you feel you’re on right now — the Natural Pathway or the Accelerated Pathway?
