In this Thyroid Answers Shorts episode, Dr. Eric Balcavage explores the critical role your mitochondria—the true powerhouses of your cells—play in thyroid health and recovery.

Too often, thyroid care focuses solely on optimizing lab values like TSH, Free T4, or Free T3. But true recovery isn’t about chasing numbers. It’s about understanding what happens inside your cells. Dr. Balcavage explains how cellular stress impacts mitochondrial function, how this stress disrupts thyroid hormone conversion, and why patients can still feel hypothyroid even when their labs look “normal.”

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why mitochondria are the missing link in thyroid recovery.

  • How cellular stress shifts thyroid physiology away from homeostasis.

  • Why simply adding more T4 or T3 may provide temporary relief but rarely leads to lasting recovery.

  • Practical ways to support mitochondrial health and improve thyroid function.

Whether you’re on thyroid medication, exploring functional medicine, or still searching for answers, this episode will help you understand why addressing mitochondrial health is essential for lasting thyroid recovery.
