#37 Your Thyroid Labs Explained — And the Peptides That Can Actually Help

May 10, 2026 · 21 min

Show notes

If you've ever looked at your thyroid labs and felt completely lost — or been told your numbers are "normal" but you still feel terrible — this episode is for you.

Dr. Kylie Burton and Jessica Brickie break down the thyroid from top to bottom, literally. Using a three-tier framework, they walk through exactly what your TSH, Free T4, and Free T3 numbers mean from a functional perspective — and which peptides target each level of dysfunction.

Pull out your labs. This one is worth listening to twice.

What's covered:

  • Why TSH is actually a pituitary hormone — not a thyroid hormone — and why that changes everything
  • The functional lab ranges for TSH (1.8–3), Free T4 (1.0–1.5), and Free T3 (3–4) that most doctors aren't using
  • Semax and Selank nasal sprays for pituitary support, brain fog, anxiety, and focus
  • BPC-157 and TB-500 for thyroid cell healing and Hashimoto's support
  • Why your gut and liver determine whether T4 converts to T3 — and what to do about it
  • Glutathione as a liver support alternative to coffee enemas
  • Jess's personal experience using Semax with a 20-year Hashimoto's diagnosis

Who this episode is for: Anyone with thyroid labs from the last 10 years, anyone diagnosed with Hashimoto's, anyone who fits the symptoms but hasn't been diagnosed, and practitioners looking to replace complicated supplement protocols with targeted peptide stacks.
