Looking for MARPE/expansion providers in northern virginia & DC that are flexible with pricing and insurance. Consulted with Dr. Gary Adams from the TMJ Sleep and Breathe Center, and Tisseront Orthodontics
My goal is expansion + aligners/lingual braces to fix an overbite, slight crowding, asymmetry, and a rotated 180 degree 2nd premolar
Thanks!
Context:
I am 20M. I have had a problem for years where I get very anxious & heart palpitations when I try to sleep, and I think my thyroid has something to do with it. It causes this weird loop where I get scared of not being able to sleep an hour before I go to bed -> anxiety when I'm trying to sleep -> repeat. I heard someone say something about adrenaline & cortisol replacing the thyroid's function
Ive been on levothyroxine 50 mcg for the past 2 years, with 0 change. My levels have stayed relatively the same. Thinking about NP Thyroid, as I believe that the issue is my t4 isnt being converted into t3
I also have bad undereyes and facial fat despite me being relatively very lean and physically active.
Some metrics I had tested around 2 months ago:
D3 - 103
B12 - 289
Tsh - 9.3
T3 - 2.8
T4 - 1.18
Supplements:
Magnesium glycinate 1000mg daily
My TSH is 9.3, my T3 is 2.8, my T4 is 1.2

I just want to be able to sleep
What are your thoughts?
I had a conversation with someone regarding NP Thyroid and how it fixed their hypothyroidism. I have hypothyroidism and currently am on levothyroxine, but I still have hypothyroidism (TSH = 9, T3 = 1, T4 = 2). Goal is to bring TSH to under 1
I have a doctors appt tomorrow where I will bring this up. Is there anything I should know beforehand? I know that levothyroxine is linked to cancer or something, is the same applicable with NP thyroid?
