“I was introduced to this syndrome by a patient who was referred to me because of my reputation for being open-minded.  I called her back and thanked her for bringing the Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome my way.

In this particular area of the medical literature there is nothing.  An understanding of Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome has filled a big void in my clinical experience.

T3 therapy for Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome is wonderful, I’m really enjoying it. I can say from my own experience, from just using it, it’s wonderful. It makes you see changes in people’s lives. It’s beautiful.”

People with WTS sometimes report feeling the “brain-fog blahs” — lack of focus, poor concentration, and low mental energy. This frustrating symptom can significantly impact quality of life, not just reducing productivity, but potentially perpetuating cycles of mood issues and poor motivation.

While T3 therapy may help restore mental energy, it’s not the only step you can take to sharpen your focus! Below are three surprising brain-boosters you may have never heard of:

Aromatherapy: Students in Ancient Greece used to wear Rosemary wreaths atop their heads during classes. They found the crisp, woody fragrance would help steady the nerves and boost mental

Dr. Wilson,

Is it possible I will lose weight?

P.S. My Dr. said I was the poster girl for WTS!

Thanks, Sheri

Dear Sheri,

Weight is a fairly unpredictable symptom.

If your weight came on with your other symptoms, and your other symptoms resolve then it’s possible that you will begin finding it easier to lose weight. However, you may not find it easier. Probably your best chance of losing weight more easily is with a normal temperature. If your temperature is low then you might benefit from the WT3 protocol. Nevertheless, even if the WT3 doesn’t help you lose weight, it may help prevent some

Traditional Chinese wellness practices revolve around Qi: A vital life force that animates us and flows through us. One of the many roles of Qi, according to Chinese practices? It promotes body heat.

Intriguingly, in Traditional Chinese wellness traditions, a deficiency or stagnancy of Qi (especially the “yang” qi energy) seems to be associated with classic WTS symptoms: Low body temperature, cold hands and feet, poor circulation, fatigue and malaise. Traditional Chinese wellness identifies “Six Stages of Cold-Induced Evils” that are linked with insufficient Qi; the last of these six stages is tied with low body temperatures and aversion to cold.

Three symptoms unite many sufferers of Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome: Diminished energy, elevated stress and brain fog. An ancient wellness herb may be particularly useful to those with Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome because it may help with all of these common WTS complaints.

Eleuthero (also known by the misnomer Siberian ginseng) is a traditional Chinese wellness herb that has been used in Asia to promote health for over 2,000 years. Eleuthero is classified as an adaptogen: A tonic herb that helps to bring the body into balance. That means in times of occasional stress, eleuthero helps the body to adapt to external stressors

As we’ve covered in previous newsletters, thermogenesis is a term for the body’s generation of heat; how much energy the body is “burning.” Thermogenesis is under investigation as a novel way to help with weight management. In theory, stimulating thermogenesis may result in faster energy expenditure (a.k.a. calorie-burning), even when the body is at rest. And as it turns out, triiodothyronine (T3) therapy may be useful for anyone seeking to increase their body’s thermogenesis — stoking the “inner furnace” and boosting metabolism.

While no one is exactly sure how thyroid hormones modulate metabolism, some scientists have theorized that T-3 appears to

Dear Dr. Wilson,

Is it possible to use Armour thyroid along with T3 therapy? I feel so much better on Armour than synthroid, but still think I have a low body temperature. Would T3 help that along with my Armour for Hashimotos thyroiditis?

Sure, T3 therapy can be added to Armour. However, it sounds as though you might be thinking that you need to take Armour or Synthroid to treat Hashimotos thyroiditis which is not necessarily the case. Taking thyroid medicine like Armour or Synthroid or T3 can put the thyroid gland to rest (just like putting a cast on a broken

When it comes to multivitamins, the temptation to buy cheap supplements at your local market may be too great to resist. But are you really getting any value for those rock-bottom priced multis? Maybe not. Here are the top 3 reasons why those low-cost multivitamins may not be worth a dime:

1. Bioavailability Problems. In order to pack a ton of nutrition into a little tablet, manufacturers use the least-expensive synthetic forms, which take up less room. Unfortunately, these synthetic forms are also harder for the body to recognize, absorb and utilize. To make those one-a-day tablets so small, they must

I have been using time release liothyronine for at least 12 years and have been extremely pleased with the results.  Although giving instructions and finding the optimal dose can be a bit time-consuming initially, the rewards of seeing the often dramatic improvements in the patient are well worth the effort.  Although I use a lot of T3/T4 combination therapy with various natural thyroid preparations with good success and resolution of many low thyroid symptoms, I’m not able to discontinue the therapy as I often am using the time release form of T3.  It my opinion, the major advantage of Wilson’s

Dry skin is a well-known symptom of hypothyroidism, as well as Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome. In the WTS philosophy, dry skin may be attributable to the “survival mode” the body enters when metabolism slows and low body temperature sets in. As the body strives to conserve energy, it cuts down on some of the more expendable functions that are not absolutely necessary for survival. The skin is among the first energy “budget cuts” the body makes.

As the largest organ in the human body, the skin consumes a tremendous amount of energy. However, the skin is quite durable and can continue to
