The thyroid scam:

The man behind the official thyroid guidelines admits today: "We were wrong."

12 years ago, Prof. Anthony Brown wrote the official guidelines for thyroid treatment. Today, in his book, he explains why he believes many of the recommendations of the time were wrong, and why millions of women, despite treatment and "normal blood values", still suffer from fatigue, weight gain and exhaustion. Above all, he shows what you, as a sufferer, can do differently today.

Reason 1: The Problem Is Internal, Not External

Constantly tired even though you slept ten hours in bed.

Weight increases relentlessly, no matter how little you eat.

Swollen legs that are so swollen in the evening that your socks cut into them. Muscles and joints that ache in the morning, as if you were 90 years old.

A sleep that no longer provides any recovery.

Do you feel it again, no matter how long you sleep?

Then you are not alone. Millions of women with hypothyroidism share the exact same experience.

Women who hear from their doctor every day:

"Your values ​​look good."

Women who take their pill every day and still feel bad.

Women who eventually start to believe that it simply has to be this way.

And who doesn't know that everything the doctors have told them for years is based on one big mistake.

My name is Anna.

I am 54 years old and work as a journalist.

For over 30 years I have done research for New Zealand newspapers and magazines.

I have exposed pharmaceutical scandals and investigated corrupt decision-makers.

I am good at what I do.

At least, that's what I thought.

Because I missed the biggest story of my life for 20 years, even though it was happening right before my eyes.

The story of an illness that I myself had.

Which I went to work with every day without understanding it.

An illness that almost cost me my job, my marriage, and my self-confidence.

This is the story of my own hypothyroidism.

And it starts 20 years ago.

I was 34 at the time. I was slim, had the energy of ten, and had just got a promotion.

Life felt like a dream.

Until everything changed from one month to the next.

I was suddenly constantly tired and gaining weight, even though I was eating just like usual.

At first I thought it was stress or consequences of my daughter's birth.

But when I had gained 6 kilos in three months, I finally sought treatment.

The doctor took a blood test.

Three days later I was at his office again.

He looked at the values, then at me and said:

"Anna, you have hypothyroidism. But don't worry, it's nothing serious. In four weeks you won't notice it anymore."

I felt an enormous relief.

And for the first few months I actually felt better.

I took levothyroxine, my values ​​normalised, and the doctor smiled at every visit.

But then the symptoms returned.

Bit by bit. Worse than before.

First there was the fatigue.

And by that I don't mean the usual "I've had a long day" fatigue.

I mean a fatigue that eats into your bones.

I clearly remember the evening when I first realised that something was wrong.

My daughter, then ten years old, sat next to me on the couch and excitedly told me about an argument with her best friend.

It was 7 p.m.

In the middle of her sentence, I fell asleep.

When I woke up it was 9:30 p.m.

My daughter was in her room for a long time.

Then came the weight.

In eighteen months, I gained 14 kilos.

14 kilo.

On a woman who has always worn size 38.

A woman who hasn't changed her diet one bit.

On the contrary, I actually ate less than ever.

Every morning I stood in front of the mirror and tried to squeeze my stomach with both hands.

Tried to imagine what I looked like just 2 years ago.

Tying the shoes was a project.

And the worst:

At work, colleagues had the same diagnosis.

Hypothyroidism. Same pills. Still slim.

And me?

I lay awake at three in the morning with my thoughts racing, and then dragged myself up half-dead at seven.

Things were getting worse at work.

I, who was always known for my sharp analytical research, suddenly needed three attempts to write a single paragraph.

My boss said gently one day, "You seem a little absent-minded lately."

Three months later, the unthinkable happened:

I missed a deadline.

For the first time in 25 years in the profession. My boss said nothing. But from that day on, the big stories went to others.

And me?

I sat in my office, looked out the window, and wondered when I stopped being myself.

When had I started to accept this as normal?

20 years.

For 20 years I had been taking my pills well.

For 20 years I had believed every doctor who said my values ​​were "completely normal".

For 20 years I had told myself that it was just age, hormones, stress.

And for 20 years I had missed what was right in front of me.

Until six months ago.

When my boss put the last research of my life on the table and, without realising it, saved my life.

What I didn't know then:

An underactive thyroid sounds harmless.

But it isn't.

The thyroid gland is not a small organ in the throat. It is the control centre for the entire body.

It controls your metabolism.

It controls your energy.

It controls your hormones.

It controls how warm you are, how quickly your digestion works, how well you sleep, and even how you feel deep down.

If the thyroid gland suffers, the whole body suffers.

And that is precisely the problem that almost no doctor explains to their patients:

Almost all of your symptoms come from one place: your thyroid.

And I'm not just talking about fatigue and weight gain.

I'm talking about:

• Hair loss and brittle nails – because the cells no longer receive any energy

• Fluid accumulation in the hands, legs and face – because the metabolism is at a standstill

• Joint pain that feels like rheumatism – even though you don't have rheumatism

• Sleep disturbances and nighttime awakenings – because the hormonal balance is out of balance

• Elevated cholesterol levels – because the liver receives poorer nutritional supply

• Heart palpitations or extra beats – as a side effect of your pills

• Difficulty concentrating and forgetfulness – because the brain no longer gets what it needs

• High blood pressure – because the vessels do not function without active thyroid hormone

• Depression – because the brain cannot produce enough feel-good hormones

• Bone fragility (osteoporosis) – because the body no longer stores calcium as it should

Even type 2 diabetes – as a late consequence of years of improperly treated hypofunction

Yes, you read that right.

All of these problems are often the result of poorly treated hypofunction .

But most doctors treat them as ten different problems.

The cholesterol tablets from a doctor.

The sleeping pills from the next one.

Painkillers for the joints from a third.

And always more thyroxine on top .

That's exactly how it went for me for 20 years.

And that's exactly what's happening right now for hundreds of thousands of women in New Zealand.

Only when I understood that everything is connected was I finally able to change something.

Today, a year later, I barely recognise my life:

I'm awake in the morning – without an alarm clock.

I've lost 6 kilos – without diet, without exercise.

My hair is thick enough for a proper ponytail again.

My cholesterol is within normal limits for the first time in ten years .

And the craziest thing:

I take less thyroxine today than I did a year ago . Significantly less.

How did I manage to do that?

By stopping blindly trusting my doctor and starting to do what I've been trained to do my entire professional life:

To dig.

What I found first shocked me, then infuriated me – and ultimately saved my life .

In this article, I share everything with you.

This is what you will find out in my story:

🦋 why the doctor who helped write the official treatment guidelines for our thyroid gland today openly opposes exactly that treatment

🦋 why you 'll never feel really good from your daily pills if you keep going as you have been doing

🦋 why medications often lead to heart palpitations

🦋 what insignificant organ in your body is currently ensuring that your pills are of no use

🦋 how to finally break out of the vicious cycle and regain your quality of life with two simple but crucial steps

Sometimes there is a single moment that changes everything .

Maybe this article is your moment.

The moment when you finally understand why your pills haven't helped you for years – and what you actually have to do to feel good again .

If no one has been able to help you so far: join now.

Because what I'm about to tell you changed my life .

And it will probably change yours too.

It was a Tuesday morning in May when my boss invited me into his office.

I recognised the look. I had seen it often enough on colleagues who packed up right after.

"Anna, I have to be honest. The last six months have been tough. We have to cut staff and you are on the list."

25 year career. End.

I sat there and couldn't get a word out.

Then he pushed a folder across the table.

"But I'll give you one last chance. We need a big cover story. Hypothyroidism – half a million women in New Zealand affected. In Auckland, a professor's book is currently circulating that questions everything we thought about the treatment. No one here has written about it yet. You have eight weeks."

My heart skipped a beat.

Hypothyroidism.

My illness.

The disease I've been living with for 20 years and never really understood.

At home, I closed the door to the study, turned off my phone, and opened the folder.

In it: some excerpts from New Zealand media.

A book recommendation.

And the name of a man I've never heard of.

Anthony Brown

What I learned about him over the next few hours made it impossible for me to sleep.

Because this man was not just any doctor.

He was one of those who co-wrote the standard treatment for hypothyroidism .

Exactly the treatment my doctor has given me for years.

Exactly the treatment every woman in New Zealand receives today.

And that exact man now said publicly:

"We were wrong."

What is the standard treatment?

The standard treatment is the official manual that every thyroid patient around the world is treated according to today.

Every family doctor. Every endocrinologist. Every clinic.

Over half a million women in New Zealand alone are treated according to that manual.

And that manual was co-written by Anthony Brown .

Today he himself says: It is wrong.

This means: hundreds of thousands of women are currently being treated according to a system that its own creator has condemned .

Anthony Brown is one of the world's most influential thyroid doctors .

Professor at University of Auckland.

For many years, chairman of the world's largest thyroid association .

Recipient of the finest award a thyroid scientist can receive.

And the man who 12 years ago helped write the official treatment rules – that is, the rules that every doctor today uses to treat their thyroid patients.

And that exact man has published a book.

What Brown admits in it made my jaw drop.

For decades, Brown was completely convinced:

If a patient takes thyroxine, then her thyroid is supplied . Period.

That was what he learned at university and what he himself wrote into the official guidelines.

But then something happened that changed everything. Brown realised that he had been wrong his whole life .

That thyroxine alone is not enough . That millions of women continue to suffer despite tablets – and precisely because of their thyroid gland .

In his book he writes:

"For years I told my patients that their problems were not due to the thyroid. Today I know I was wrong." And: "The rules I helped write are failing millions of patients."

Let it sink in.

The man who made the rules says today himself: These rules are wrong.

I sat at my desk, staring at the screen, and could hardly believe it.

Because Brown explains in his book exactly WHY he was wrong .

And that's exactly what I'm summarising for you now.

Because what Brown writes explains for the first time why we thyroid patients don't get better despite tablets .

What comes now are the most important 3 minutes in the entire article .

If you understand this, you will understand for the first time in your life what is actually going on in your body.

You will understand why your tablets are not working .

Why your values ​​still look "fine".

And above all: what you have to do to feel good again .

I promise you: no doctor has explained this to you.

And I try to make it so simple that you never forget it .

T4 and T3 – therein lies the big mistake

Your thyroid gland produces two hormones:

• T4 is the inactive form . It just floats around in the blood and does nothing .

• T3 is the active form . It is what provides the body with energy, kick-starts the metabolism, and makes you feel awake and alive.

And now you have to hold on:

The thyroxine you swallow every morning only contains T4 .

That is, the inactive form of the thyroid hormone .

In order for you to feel better, your body must first convert T4 to T3 .

And this is exactly where the problem arises.

Conversion disorder

Now comes the point that changes everything.

The sentence I haven't heard from a single doctor in 20 years.

Are you ready?

In many women with hypofunction, this particular conversion from T4 to T3 no longer works .

The body simply cannot convert the inactive T4 into the active T3.

In technical terms, it is called a conversion disorder .

And Brown writes crystal clear in his book:

If your body can't convert T4 to T3, the best thyroxine in the world won't help.

You can take as many tablets as you want.

The hormone remains inactive in the blood.

Your values ​​look great.

But because you lack T3, nothing gets into the cells .

Self-test: Do you have a conversion disorder?

If at least two of the points apply to you, you are most likely suffering from a conversion disorder :

☐ Your blood values ​​are supposedly "completely normal", but the symptoms remain

☐ You have elevated cholesterol levels

☐ You have fatty liver

☐ You are constantly freezing and have cold hands and feet

☐ You gain weight even though you eat little

☐ Despite medication, you still have a body temperature well below 36.8 degrees

If you recognise yourself here, it's not the thyroid that's the problem.

It's conversion disorder.

The Danger of Conversion Disorder

A conversion disorder always leads to you having too little T3 in your body.

T3 is the most important thyroid hormone, because it supplies almost all organs and a wide range of important enzymes in the body with energy.

A lack of T3 is the explanation why hypothyroidism causes so many different symptoms.

This is important to understand:

Your stomach problems, your high blood pressure, your diabetes, your sleep problems – all of these diseases arise over the years as a result of underfunctioning.

Because the body does not get enough of the hormone T3.

The connections look like this:

🚨Too little energy (T3) to the liver = high cholesterol levels, because cholesterol breakdown in the liver does not work

🚨 Too little T3 = slow metabolism, making it almost impossible to control weight

🚨 Too little T3 to the intestine = indigestion, because the intestine is not properly perfused

🚨 Too little T3 = constantly cold hands and feet, because the body is not well ventilated

🚨 Too little T3 = higher risk of diabetes, because gene expression for the glucose transport protein decreases in T3 deficiency. The result: blood sugar rises faster

🚨 Too little T3 = the receptor for the sleep hormone melatonin is downregulated, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep

🚨 Too little T3 = the receptor for the feel-good hormone serotonin is downregulated. T3 deficiency can therefore lead to depression

🚨 Too little T3 = the luteinising hormone (LH), which controls ovulation, is downregulated. Therefore, T3 deficiency can also be a cause of infertility

🚨 Too little T3 = calcitonin, the hormone that controls calcium storage in the bones, is downregulated. A lack of T3 therefore causes osteoporosis .

Suddenly it clicked

When I read Brown's book, I understood why nothing I had tried in 20 years had ever worked.

For 20 years I had been screwing in the wrong screws .

No one had told me where I actually had to start.

Nobody had said:

It's not your thyroid that's failing. It's the T3 that's missing from your body .

For 20 years I had been screwing in the wrong screws.

But now, when I finally knew what the problem was, only one logical question remained:

How do I give the body the T3 it is missing?

Brown had the answer in his book.

It was so simple that I could barely sit still while reading:

If your body can't convert T4 to T3 on its own - then you just give it T3 directly.

Not instead of thyroxine. But as a supplement.

T4 plus T3 in combination.

It is called combination therapy .

I stood up, paced back and forth in the kitchen, barely able to breathe with excitement. That was the answer.

After 20 years.

The solution was so simple: I simply needed T3 as a supplement .

My family doctor would prescribe it.

That same night I wrote a list of questions.

Published studies.

The next morning I called the health centre at eight o'clock.

I was as euphoric as I hadn't been in years.

I was sure: This is it. Finally.

Three days later, I was sitting across from my family doctor.

I explained everything. Calmly. Objectively. Like the journalist I am.

He listened – politely, patiently, almost compassionately.

Then he leaned back and said:

"Anna, I understand you. But it's not standard treatment in New Zealand. I can't prescribe it for you. You have very good values ​​here and I'm not going to do anything that's outside the guidelines."

He said it kindly, but firmly.

I left the office and called the first endocrinologist I could find while still in the car .

Waiting period: four months .

I called a second clinic. Three months and a cost of NZ$9,000–17,000 per year.

A third: "We don't treat patients with combination therapy."

I dug all night. This time not about the thyroid.

But about New Zealand healthcare.

What I found was disappointing:

➡️ The official New Zealand guidelines (Medsafe, the Ministry of Health's medicines regulator) do not recommend combination treatment - they see no clear benefit compared to thyroxine alone.

➡️ The dosage of T3 is more complicated than thyroxine. T3 acts faster and breaks down faster. The correct setting requires a lot of experience, regular checks and careful follow-up.

➡️ That's why most GPs don't prescribe T3 or combination drugs - they follow the guidelines and shy away from the hassle. Those who still want it usually end up in specialised private clinics and have to pay everything themselves, with high annual costs.

I was sitting at the kitchen table at midnight.

Slowly it dawned on me:

The only treatment that could actually help me was one that no doctor in New Zealand would prescribe .

Not because it's wrong. But because the system doesn't have room for it .

I had been so close.

I had found the answer.

And still couldn't get it.

I cried for the first time in weeks.

Not out of anger. Out of despair.

At that moment, I was close to throwing in the towel.

The story. The job. The belief that things would ever get better.

Was this how it was going to end?

It was a few days later.

I stood in the kitchen in the morning washing the breakfast dishes.

It was one of those days when I could barely get out of bed .

In the background, an English-language podcast was playing where several thyroid experts discussed the latest findings.

I was half listening, half thinking about the story that still hadn't been written.

Then the name Anthony Brown was dropped .

I put away the dishcloth, turned up the volume, and sat down at the kitchen table.

What the experts said next made me drop the towel on the floor.

They talked about a completely different approach, one I had never heard of.

An approach that could solve most thyroid problems – without extra T3 .

Without combination treatment.

Without expensive private clinics.

It was so simple that my brain stopped for a moment:

Instead of artificially supplying the body with the missing T3, we simply get the body to convert T4 back into T3 on its own.

We thus solve the transformation disturbance . At the root.

And one of the experts even said that for most patients it is the better and more natural way .

I sat there, trying to take in what I had just heard.

Suddenly everything fell into place:

If my body converts T4 on its own again, then I don't need extra T3 .

Then I wouldn't have to swallow perfectly dosed T3 tablets two or three times a day.

Then there will be no hormonal rollercoaster, no crash if I forget a pill.

Then the body does what it was built for:

It takes the T4 I swallow in the morning and converts it all by itself, evenly distributed throughout the day, into T3 – exactly in the dose it needs at that moment.

A natural, steady supply of the active hormone.

Just as it was meant to be. For the first time in weeks, I had hope again.

But one crucial question remained:

How do you get the body to convert T4 back to T3 ?

And right there came the sentence that changed everything for me.

The liver

One of the experts explained:

"Up to 80 percent of the conversion from T4 to T3 does not occur in the thyroid gland at all. But in the liver ."

I sat there as if petrified.

In the liver.

Had I heard correctly?

I rewound. Listened to the sentence one more time.

Up to 80 percent of the conversion occurs in the liver .

Not in the thyroid gland.

In the organ that absolutely no one thinks of when it comes to the thyroid gland.

And thus it was also clear where the conversion disorder actually comes from:

The liver is no longer able to convert T4 to T3.

But why doesn't the conversion in the liver work anymore?

Why the liver is almost always overloaded today

What most people don't know:

The liver is the body's purification plant .

Every day it must filter out all harmful substances from the blood:

Medicines, alcohol, sugar, pesticides from food, microplastics, exhaust fumes – even stress hormones must be broken down.

Everything that doesn't belong in the body ends up on the liver's desk .

And that's exactly where the problem lies:

100 years ago, our grandmothers' livers had a fraction of that load .

Today it works at maximum every day .

And when an organ is in overdrive, it first does what is vital: detoxifies .

Everything else becomes a side issue.

Also the conversion of T4 to T3 .

This is what the research shows:

➡️ Every fourth New Zealander today has fatty liver – many don't even know about it

➡️ Over 40% of all adults have elevated cholesterol levels

➡️ The liver has no pain receptors . So it suffers silently – without you noticing.

Suddenly everything fell into place.

An overloaded liver no longer converts T4 to T3 .

With me. With you. With hundreds of thousands of women in New Zealand.

That's exactly why our pills don't work – no matter how high the dose.

Then a sentence came up in the podcast that knocked me off my feet.

One of the experts said:

"The liver is one of the few organs in the human body that can regenerate itself completely – if you give it the right nutrients."

Let it sink in.

The liver heals itself.

It is the only organ in the body with that ability.

Even after decades of overload – with the right nutrients, it regains its strength .

And when the liver is working at full strength again, it finally does what it was actually made for:

To convert T4 to T3.

Just like in a "healthy" person.

Just like it worked for me 20 years ago. In the podcast, the experts then explained in concrete terms what it's all about.

They spoke of two steps that must work together:

Step 1:

The liver must be actively regenerated so that it regains the power to convert thyroid hormones at all .

Step 2:

The body must be provided with the right nutrients – that is, exactly the substances it really needs for the conversion of T4 to T3 .

Two steps. No more.

If I passed those two steps, my liver would regenerate, the transformation would start again, and the body would finally do what it was made for.

And that would mean:

• Finally energy again. Finally sleeping through the night .

• Finally losing weight without tormenting myself every day.

• Finally sleeping a whole night without waking up again and again.

• Finally thicker hair . Better skin .

• Finally recognising myself in the mirror .

Summary so far

✅ Your body needs the active thyroxine hormone T3

✅ Thyroid medications only deliver the inactive hormone T4

✅ The conversion from T4 to T3 occurs mainly in the liver

✅ If symptoms persist despite medication, it is most likely a conversion disorder

✅ The solution is NOT to increase the dose of the medicine.

How do I get my liver working again?

The podcast had given me the crucial key words:

Liver. Regeneration. Nutrients.

Now it was my turn.

That night I opened the laptop.

What I discovered over the next two weeks changed my view of the thyroid gland forever.

Because the evidence had been on the table for a long time – in reputable journals, in clinical studies from around the world, in years of research at universities .

There were hundreds of studies on liver regeneration .

And yet not a single doctor had said a word about it to me in 20 years.

The two steps to treating conversion disorder

After two weeks of intensive research, I finally had clarity.

The research on the liver was clear and showed step by step what my body now needed.

Exactly the two steps the experts in the podcast indicated.

Only now with concrete, scientifically based topics .

Now I'll take you through exactly what I came up with.

In some places I refer with footnotes (in parentheses) to scientific studies .

Step 1: Actively Regenerate the Liver

But as I already mentioned, that alone is not enough.

A strong liver is the foundation, but it also needs to be given the right building blocks to be able to convert T4 to T3 .

And this is where step 2 comes into play.

Step 2: Micronutrients for the transformation

In order for the conversion of T4 to T3 in the liver to occur at all, the body needs very specific nutrients .

Without them, the liver is like an engine that runs, but gets nowhere without fuel .

During my research, two nutrients crystallised that were mentioned over and over again.

Two nutrients that are directly involved in the transformation and are almost never checked by a doctor .

Help the body produce glutathione itself

Your body can manufacture glutathione all by itself .

It just needs the right building blocks .

And it is precisely these building blocks that are missing in most people.

The three most important are:

• Cysteine

• NAC (N-acetylcysteine)

• L-methionine

If you give the body the three building blocks, it will assemble its own glutathione .

And just as much as it needs.

And it's always better than just swallowing glutathione as a tablet.

A nice side effect that particularly pleased me:

L-methionine has even shown positive effects on hair loss in several studies .

For every woman with underactive thyroid who suffers from thinning hair, it's a real bonus .

My list was finally complete

After two weeks of intensive research, I finally had a list in front of me :

• Milk Thistle

• Artichoke

• Selenium

• glutathione

• NAC

• L-methionine

Seven subjects that I would have to buy separately .

I quickly counted.

Over NZ$1,400 per month, at least.

It was a lot of money .

But after 20 years of suffering, I had nothing left to lose .

So I ordered everything.

Because according to the studies, my liver would finally be performing at its full potential again.

T4 is converted to T3, and the metabolism gets going .

This should finally improve symptoms such as hair loss, fatigue and sleep problems .

My self-experiment

Before I even started taking all these supplements, I made a decision:

I wanted to see in black and white if they actually gave anything.

No self-deception.

No "I think I'm feeling better".

Without real numbers.

So the next morning I went to my family doctor and had a complete blood count done .

This time not just the TSH value, which my doctor has always been happy with.

Without anything that actually matters.

When I saw the values, I finally got clarity .

My TSH was actually still within the normal range .

And that was exactly the problem .

Because the New Zealand guidelines say: doctors should primarily look at the TSH value when treating the thyroid gland .

So my family doctor had done everything " right ".

According to the rules.

The only problem is that those rules are wrong .

The TSH value says nothing about whether enough active thyroid hormone is actually produced in your cells .

What really counts is the T3 value – the active hormone that gives the body energy .

And that very value had never been measured on me in 20 years .

Until now.

And the result was terrifying:

My T3 was catastrophically low.

Exactly what Brown described. My body did have T4, but no T3 .

And my cholesterol was too high .

Everything suddenly fell into place.

Everything the experts said in the podcast. Everything I dug up in two weeks. Everything I've felt in my body for 20 years.

I had the proof in black and white :

I had a conversion disorder . Just like hundreds of thousands of other women.

And the craziest thing:

In 20 years, not a single doctor had shown me those values .

Not a single one had measured my T3.

Everyone had just looked at the TSH value and said:

"Everything looks good, Anna."

For 20 years…

But anger won't get me any further.

If no one has been active on my behalf for 20 years, I had to do it myself. Better late than never.

I had my list.

I had my subjects.

And for the first time in years, I had a plan.

So I got started.

The first few days were a nightmare

I started with all seven preparations .

Seven different capsules. Every day.

My kitchen table looked like the shelf in a small pharmacy.

Seven small jars.

Each with its own dosage instructions .

One before food, the second after, the third preferably on an empty stomach in the morning.

The morning round alone took five minutes.

My husband just looked at me and shook his head:

"You won't last two weeks with that."

But I was stubborn.

After 2 weeks something happened

I suddenly slept all night .

For the first time in years, I no longer woke up at three in the morning.

No mind-bending.

No tired dragging yourself out of bed in the morning.

I just woke up.

Rested.

It was so unexpected that I could hardly believe it.

My husband asked at breakfast:

"You seem more alert today."

I smiled honestly for the first time in a long time.

After 4 weeks, my afternoon slump disappeared

Anyone who knows me knows: my afternoon slump was legendary.

Every day at two o'clock I fell into a black hole .

I could barely concentrate at my desk and just dragged myself through the afternoon .

After four weeks it was just gone.

I was sitting wide awake at my desk at three o'clock and suddenly realised that my afternoon slump was gone .

Simply disappeared.

But then came the problem

No matter how much better I felt, my own mixture was a nightmare in everyday life.

Seven intakes.

Seven different doses that I have to balance against each other. Some substances cannot be tolerated at the same time .

NAC, for example, is extremely difficult to get hold of – it's not available in regular health stores, and good quality is really expensive .

Some capsules I have to remember to take on an empty stomach. Others with food.

I quickly lost track of things.

And my account too.

Over NZ$1,400 per month.

I thought: there must be a better solution .

The last piece of the puzzle

I sat one evening in a thyroid forum where women share experiences.

And over and over again, one name appeared: Thyvelle .

A woman from Hamilton wrote that she was finally able to reduce her tablets .

Another one from Auckland: after three months 4 kilos lighter .

A third: the hair grows back.

I was sceptical.

After everything I had experienced in 20 years, I was suspicious of every new "miracle drug".

But as a journalist, I was also curious .

So I dug.

Thyvelle is an Auckland-based start-up that specialises exclusively in a single disease:

Hypothyroidism.

They have developed a product whose name says it all:

Thyvelle.

Just the name made me curious.

Who calls a product that if they don't understand exactly what it's about?

I looked at the contents:

What I saw there made me shiver.

In Thyvelle all seven of my subjects were included .

It was basically my exact own mix – only I didn't have to put it together myself.

And there were even more ingredients that I noticed during my research but ultimately chose not to include, because they were too expensive and too difficult to obtain individually .

And the price?

a fraction of what I paid for separate supplements

Let it sink in.

I had paid over NZ$1,400 a month for my seven separate medications.

Thyvelle cost just NZ$104.99 for the full 3-month supply.

Less than one takeaway coffee a day!

I ordered a 3-pack that same evening and decided to continue my self-experiment with Thyvelle from month two.

Instead of seven capsules a day, I only need to take 2 capsules with food .

But does it really work?

After 8 weeks

I could barely comprehend it myself.

The first 3 kilos were gone.

No diet. No exercise. Just because my metabolism finally got going again .

My favourite jeans, which had been hanging in the back of my closet for three years, fit again.

I stood in front of the mirror for ten minutes, twisting back and forth.

My husband came into the room, looked at me and said:

"You shine."

It was little things. But after 20 years, those little things were EVERYTHING to me .

After 4 months – the second blood test

The three bottles of Thyvelle were empty after three months – I went to my GP again and took new tests .

This time with a beating heart.

Would the values ​​confirm what I felt every day?

A week later I had the results in my hand:

My T3 (the value that had been at rock bottom for 20 years) was finally within the optimal range .

My selenium had gone from "deficient" to "optimal" .

My cholesterol was below 5.2 for the first time in ten years .

I sat in the car park outside the health centre and cried.

But this time not out of despair.

This time out of relief.

My life today

In total I have lost 6 kilos .

My hair is so thick again that I can do a proper ponytail in the morning.

Colleagues at work ask:

"Anna, what are you doing differently? You look amazing."

I can work concentratedly until the evening again.

Without an afternoon slump.

Without that fog in my head.

I sleep all night.

Every night.

Without an alarm clock, I'm awake at seven o'clock .

And the best thing:

My husband notices me again in the evenings.

Puts his hand on mine when we sit on the couch.

Kisses me before we fall asleep.

After 20 years, I finally recognise myself in the mirror.

My research became the biggest article of my career

I wrote the story.

Just like I told it to you here.

My boss was speechless. The cover story hit like a bombshell.

Instead of being fired, I was promoted .

In the weeks following publication, hundreds of letters and emails reached me from readers, sharing their own stories.

I just want to show you three of them briefly:

These letters touched me deeply.

And they are the reason I am writing this second article that you are reading right now.

Because I know what you're going through.

I know what it feels like to wake up tired every day.

Feeling alien in your own body .

To stand in front of the mirror and not recognise yourself .

I know what it means when doctor after doctor says:

"Your values ​​are completely normal."

And I know how it feels when you finally feel like yourself again .

That's exactly where I want to help you .

One thing you need to know

Before I give you the final piece of advice, I need to clarify one thing:

I'm a journalist, not a salesman.

I'm writing about it because I believe in the method and because it has helped me and hundreds of my readers .

I wrote this article for a single person:

For you.

But I also understand if you are sceptical .

Honestly, I would be sceptical in your situation too.

After all the expensive supplements that didn't help.

After all the doctors who didn't listen to you .

That's why there is a 60-day money-back guarantee .

No ifs and buts.

If Thyvelle works for you – then you have your old life back .

If it doesn't work – you get a full refund.

So you have nothing to lose .

Exclusive discount for my readers

Because I'm sharing this story with you, I want to make sure you don't miss the discount the manufacturer is currently running.

Right now that discount is live through this article and on the Thyvelle website.

This means that Thyvelle in a 3-pack costs you just over NZ$1 a day.

Less than a takeaway coffee.

A remedy that can give you back your vital energy – for the price of a cappuccino .

My personal advice in the end:

If you also wake up exhausted every morning after 8 or 10 hours of sleep...

If you are gaining weight even though you are barely eating… If you have trouble sleeping and your joints ache …

If you've been running from doctor to doctor for years without anything helping ...

Then you need to understand something important now:

No one will help you if you don't start yourself.

No doctor.

No partner.

No miracle.

Just you.

You now have two options.

Option 1:

You continue as before.

You go to the doctor who says your values ​​are normal .

Which follows guidelines that are no longer current .

Who year after year prescribes a higher dose of thyroxine .

And you accept that you feel worse every month and, in the worst case, develop sequelae ...

High blood pressure, diabetes, depression or osteoporosis.

Because an untreated conversion disorder destroys your entire body over the years.

Option 2:

You take responsibility.

For your body. For your life.

For the person you once were.

You are trying an approach that has given me and hundreds of other women their lives back .

An approach that doesn't fight your body, but supports it in finally doing what it was made for.

Which path you take is up to you.

But think about one thing:

You only have this one life.

And you deserve to finally feel good about it again.

Warm regards, Anna Whitemore
