Reasons To Check Thyroid Hormones for Keto:
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), which comes from your pituitary, is also crucial to how well your body functions, as it affects the amount of T4 and T3 your thyroid produces. The keto diet doesn’t usually cause any problems if your thyroid is functioning normally. But eating too few carbs can lower your thyroid hormone levels, which may cause issues if your baseline levels are already low. T4 (thyroxine) and T3 (triiodothyronine) are the main hormones produced by the thyroid gland. They play an essential role in many vital body functions, including your heart rate, metabolism and fertility.
