Default High reverse t3 reversed with t3-deiodinase article

https://www.nahypothyroidism.org/deiodinases/
I like this article for an understanding of problems with the cellular conversion enzyme of t4 to t3. Since TSH checks pituitary conversion and uses another enzyme that's always in abundance you can have a normal TSH and low active thyroid on the cellular level and remain hypothyroid.

My doctor spent three years blaming my sleep and stress levels for a high reverse t3 till I brought in this article and requested only natural thyroid (Naturothroid). Within 3 months my reverse t3 went from above normal to normal.
