Are you taking your thyroid medication correctly? If not, it may not be doing its job. This video will walk you through how you should be taking your thyroid medication for the best results.

Including how to take levothyroxine, how to take Synthroid, and how to take other forms of thyroid medications such as natural desiccated thyroid.

Before you blame your symptoms on your thyroid make sure you are following these guidelines:

- Take your thyroid medication either first thing in the morning or right before you go to bed
- Take your thyroid medication at least 30-60 minutes AWAY from food (either before or after)
- Do NOT take supplements at the same time as your thyroid medication, take them at least 30-60 minutes away from whenever you take your thyroid meds
- If you are taking a dedicated calcium or iron supplement then make sure to take your thyroid medication 4 hours away from whenever you take these supplements
- Do NOT take your thyroid medication with coffee or caffeine
- Remember that NOT all thyroid medications are created equal - switch to a thyroid medication that has fewer fillers if necessary
- Treat your gut to improve thyroid hormone absorption

By focusing on these areas you can potentially improve how effective your thyroid medication is and then you will be able to determine if you are on the right medication for your body.
