Your Thyroid Vs. Fat Loss

Happy Friday!

Today, I want to tackle a question I get all the time since we have been publishing content on bioregulators:

This is a fantastic question—and honestly, one that deserves a nuanced answer.

But first, let’s back up and get clear about why your thyroid is absolutely critical for fat loss, even if you consider yourself pretty healthy.

Why Your Thyroid is Crucial for Fat Loss

The thyroid gland is like your body’s thermostat—it controls the rate at which you burn calories and fat.

Even mild dips in thyroid function, which often fly under the radar of traditional lab tests, can seriously stall fat loss efforts, no matter how dialed-in your diet or exercise routine is.

In fact, research indicates that every slight elevation in TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone)—even within “normal” lab ranges—is associated with increased body fat and reduced metabolism.

Simply put, if your thyroid isn’t functioning optimally, your metabolic rate will be sluggish, making it almost impossible to shed stubborn fat, no matter how many calories you eat or don’t eat.

Enter Thyreogen

Thyreogen is a peptide bioregulator, essentially a precise signaling peptide derived from healthy animal thyroid tissue.

Unlike traditional thyroid medications that just replace hormones, Thyreogen helps your thyroid gland heal, regenerate, and self-optimize.

Think of Thyreogen as giving your thyroid a software upgrade rather than just rebooting your computer.

Clinical studies (mostly from Russia, where this technology was pioneered) clearly show promising results:

• In trials, Thyreogen improved thyroid hormone levels (both T3 and T4) significantly in patients with hypothyroidism.

• Participants reported better energy, reduced fatigue, improved mood, and easier fat loss.

• Even months after finishing a Thyreogen course, thyroid hormone levels remained healthy and stable.

On top of the science, countless biohackers and anti-aging enthusiasts have shared powerful anecdotes online and in our community:

• People who previously struggled with fatigue, slow metabolism, or stalled fat loss often reported dramatically improved energy and metabolic rate after using Thyreogen.

• Some individuals were even able to wean off synthetic thyroid medications entirely, maintaining healthy thyroid function long-term.

• Others found Thyreogen helped stabilize their thyroid function enough to prevent needing medication at all.

Thyreogen By The Numbers

Let’s take a look at some concrete data on Thyreogen.

• 78% Improvement: In clinical studies, 78% of participants reported significant relief from hypothyroid symptoms, including fatigue, low mood, and slow metabolism, after just 20 days of Thyreogen use.

• 2x Increase in T4 Levels: Patients supplementing with Thyreogen saw average T4 thyroid hormone levels rise from approximately 39 nmol/L to 87.5 nmol/L, a more than twofold increase in just three weeks.

• Zero Side Effects: Across multiple studies involving hundreds of participants, Thyreogen reported a remarkable 0% incidence of adverse side effects or contraindications, emphasizing its safety.

• Months of Sustained Benefit: Follow-up lab tests showed thyroid hormone improvements remained stable and within the optimal range for 3 to 5 months after completing a single Thyreogen course.

Thyreogen vs. Desiccated vs. Synthetic Thyroid Hormones

So, how does Thyreogen stack up against more traditional approaches like desiccated thyroid (Armour Thyroid) or synthetic thyroid medications (like Levothyroxine)?

Synthetic thyroid medications (like Levothyroxine) are essentially pure T4 hormone replacement. While effective at normalizing lab values, synthetic T4 often doesn’t translate into optimal health, because many people struggle to convert T4 into the more active T3 hormone.

Furthermore, synthetic thyroid treatments can come with significant downsides like jitteriness, insomnia, palpitations, and potential long-term bone density issues if dosed incorrectly.

Desiccated thyroid (Armour Thyroid or NP Thyroid), derived from pig glands, provides a more balanced mixture of hormones (both T4 and T3). Studies show people typically feel better and lose slightly more weight with Armour compared to Levothyroxine.

It’s natural, effective, and generally well-tolerated. Still, Armour is replacing thyroid hormones externally rather than teaching your thyroid to produce its own hormones again.

Thyreogen, by contrast, is fundamentally different.

Instead of replacing hormones, it helps restore your gland’s own optimal function. It’s incredibly safe (no reported side effects), non-suppressive, and particularly effective for those with subclinical thyroid dysfunction or mild hypothyroidism who aren’t ready for a pharmaceutical approach.

My Recommendation: Start with Thyreogen Before Considering Pharmaceutical Thyroid

In my experience, Thyreogen is an ideal first step for anyone noticing subtle symptoms of thyroid slowdown: stubborn fat, lower energy, cold hands and feet, thinning hair, etc.

I don’t believe Thyreogen fully replaces desiccated thyroid extract for everyone, especially if your thyroid is severely impaired or has been underactive for years.

However, it can be an incredible tool to try before jumping straight to pharmaceuticals.

Many of my clients see significant improvements using Thyreogen alone, saving them from unnecessary lifelong hormone replacement.

Even better, if you’re currently on Armour Thyroid, Thyreogen can be an excellent complementary supplement, taken periodically throughout the year to keep your thyroid optimally tuned and potentially reduce dependence on medication.

NOTE: I generally do not recommend synthetic thyroid medications, given their potential downsides and limited benefits compared to natural alternatives.

If you do eventually require hormone support, desiccated thyroid (Armour) is by far the safer and more effective choice.

Bottom Line:

• Start with Thyreogen to naturally optimize your thyroid first.

• If additional support is needed, desiccated thyroid is preferable over synthetic options.

• Thyreogen can be combined with Armour periodically throughout the year for optimal long-term thyroid health.

When all other fat loss options fail, check your thyroid - it could be the missing link.
