Hormonal imbalance will always show on your face, while your doctor is clueless.
Modern women’s bubbly faces with no shape or definition are often a sign of a major hormone imbalance / metabolic dysfunction.
In the Western world, it is common to treat patients with T4 (the inactive thyroid hormone) alone, but this approach almost always does more harm than good if your body cannot convert the inactive hormone to the active one, T3.
T4 (thyroxine) is a precursor hormone that must be converted into T3 (triiodothyronine) in the body to become active. This conversion primarily takes place in the liver.
However, many patients, particularly women with elevated estrogen levels or those with liver issues, have a sluggish liver that does not efficiently convert T4 to T3. Consequently, these patients do not receive adequate active thyroid hormone (T3) to meet their physiological requirements.
Excess T4 in tissues where it is not rapidly converted to T3 has an anti-thyroid effect. Instead of supporting thyroid function, elevated levels of T4 can actually suppress it, worsening symptoms in patients.
T3 has a shorter half-life and acts swiftly to restore respiration and metabolic efficiency. Without sufficient T3, patients do not benefit fully from thyroid hormone therapy in terms of metabolic advantages.
When I first started taking thyroid (T3, then T4 and T3), my family thought I had fallen ill because my face quickly lost volume.
In truth, it was simply returning to its state before estrogen dominance / hypothyroidism .
It began to look as it was supposed to, as God created it, before water retention and hormonal puffiness from hell took over.
