Thyroid resistance is defined as low free T3 relative to Reverse T3. In order to test for this condition you need to order both tests and look at the ratio between the two. The higher your reverse T3 the harder it is for free T3 to get into your cells which leads to thyroid hormone resistance at the cellular level. Treatment usually requires T3 medication in conjunction with the 8 tips below.

8 Steps to Reverse Leptin Resistance and Thyroid Resistance:

1. Get your thyroid evaluated and get on the right type and dose of thyroid medication - For most patients this means NDT or T3 containing medications like Cytomel or Liothyronine.

2. Add in HIIT (high intensity interval training) to your work outs - This type of burst training helps sensitize your cells to insulin and leptin.

3. Avoid processed and inflammatory foods - High levels of inflammation makes thyroid function worse and makes it more difficult to reverse leptin resistance.

4. Make sure to get 7-8 hours of sleep per night

5. Eliminate or drastically reduce your fructose consumption - Fructose is metabolized into uric acid in the liver and which increases inflammation and makes leptin levels worse.

6. Do not restrict your calories - Starvation mode lowers your basal metabolic rate and increases conversion of T4 to reverse T3.

7. Optimize T4 to T3 conversion - Use supplements or thyroid hormones: - Zinc - Selenium:

8. If necessary use medications to lower Leptin levels - Consider using GLP-1 agonists which can help lower leptin levels and help patients with weight loss.

8–8: An 8 can do well with another 8 if they treat their relationship like a business. In this case, it would be the business of love. Respect what each other has to say, and make sure your fellow 8 knows how much they matter to you. I’ve always said an 8 Vibration can have trouble being with an 8 because they both learn the hard way. So when one is suffering, who consoles whom? It is especially important for the 8–8 couple to remember that the definition of insanity is 'doing the same thing over and over again, and each time expecting a new result.' Avoid going round and round in circles. You must also not be critical of each other. The 8s do not handle criticism well. Compromise is the key here, and then a solid partnership can result.

8 and 8: This pairing might be known as the "Dynamic Duo" as this is a combination that is full of passion and romance. Indeed, this pairing is a strong and enduring match- up. Yet both partners will be easily distracted by the events in their life as goals and professional demands often supersede romantic possibilities. Solid as the relationship probably is, the couple may have a hard time communicating the depth of feeling in either word or deed. Guard against competing with one another, and getting caught up in schedules and the demands of work. Make time for each other and always focus on being equal partners.

The 8 Life Path with the 8 Life Path This relationship is considered a Natural Match; however, two 8 Life Paths together is a tricky Number Combination. When two 8s get together, sometimes they feel like 'crazy eights' as a couple. They find that whenever they get ahead, things turn upside down, and that they are right back where they started. But remember, there are other numbers in a Numerology Blueprint that can alter this Vibration. When two 8s come together, let’s hope that it is in some setting where they at least begin with the same expectations. Do they both believe it is possible to be successful, or does one of them think money is bad and the other one think it is great? These conflicting attitudes about money can be a problem.

When it comes to physical love, both can get caught up in doing things perfectly. The key here is to surrender and say, 'There is no such thing as perfect. It is okay.' There is a bumper sticker that says, 'I’m not perfect, but I’m perfect for you.' That is what two 8s have to start believing. They have to repeat, 'Yes, I’m not perfect, but I’m perfect for you.' Then surrender into each other’s arms. When they do finally come together and take time out for the kissing and the sensuality, they must make sure it’s not just, 'Let’s make love, but hurry up because I’ve got to get back to work.' It’s really important that two 8s take time out to cherish each other as people, not just props in a 'perfect' lifestyle.

The 8 female will usually go out of her way to make everything look nice, and the house will be beautifully decorated; that is something they will want to do. It’s really important that the 8 male expresses his appreciation for her efforts. Doing so adds to the chemistry in this relationship. Because 8s are so direct, these two have got to learn how to say what they are thinking in a more pleasing tone. The one big concern I have for the two 8s is that sometimes life throws a hard ball, and if both feel victimized, one must help the other. It is important that they not fall into a pity pool together. They can’t afford to be critical of one another, because there will be repercussions that can interfere in what could otherwise be a loving relationship.

8–9: Although this is considered a Toxic number combination, it can work if the 8 is willing to respect the intelligence and wisdom that the 9 is blessed with. It is important that the 9 realize that although the 8 does not think in the same way, they do have a lot to offer. If the 8 is living on the negative side of its number, greed can get him or her into trouble. The 9 will not tolerate that kind of deception. When the 9 Life Path tries to enlighten the 8, it is important that they do not have a tone in their voice that could be interpreted as patronizing. If they do not watch their delivery, the 8 will lash out and really hurt the 9’s feelings, often causing damage to the relationship that may be impossible to repair. When the 8 and 9 are at their best, they both have a strong desire to improve the world. They will volunteer their time, come up with a fund-raiser to help those in need, help find shelter for the homeless, etc. On this level, the world is a better place because they have found each another.

8 and 9: This is a challenging combination in which two highly motivated individuals - motivated in very different ways - find it hard to accept the ways of the other. In general the goals of the 9 are lofty and may have a humanitarian bend, while the 8 seeks the reward that comes with development of leadership and material success. To have much of a chance, the 8 will have to appreciate the lessons that can be learned from their generous partner. When they are able to work as a team, this is a powerful and often inspirational pair. Too often, however, the combination fails to click.

The 8 Life Path with the 9 Life Path In this pairing, the 9s have to figure out their life’s purpose. Maybe you met them doing charity work, or at some other event where you were impressed with them. Perhaps you have seen the 9 speak in front of a group. The 8 will be drawn to this Vibration because 8s care about people who are doing something with their lives. They want a partner they can be proud to be with. The 8 loves to be impressed with their partners and say, 'Look what I’ve got,' because 'having the best' is an important part of their life. The 8s are into possessions, but are not materialistic. They really appreciate quality, and they love the best of things. A positive 9 is truly a catch for an 8 Life Path. Nevertheless, these two Vibrations are a Challenge Number to each other. If the 8 becomes too disapproving of the 9, it can destroy the intimacy that was once there. Think back to what brought you two together in the first place. The beginning can be passionate and great. But then, as time goes by, if the 9 feels under attack from the 8, they will pull back and get busy with their own thing. Because the 8s are so blunt, once they feel neglected by their partner, they will keep pushing and pushing to know why. They want an explanation, and they will be very in-your-face about it. Verbal expression is truly an art form, and this means that the 8 can tell the truth, but the 8 must realize there is still a way to say it, so as to not hurt the 9’s feelings. This is something the 8 must work on if they want a lasting love with a 9 Life Path.

9–9: A 9 Life Path with a 9 Life Path is considered an excellent relationship because they are both here to make this a better world. They are usually involved with humanitarian issues. When they join forces, they are very impressive. These two will get things done. They have vast wisdom and knowledge, and constantly learn from each other. They’re fascinated with each other’s interpretation of life, which, interestingly enough, could be completely different. You are wondering, what could possibly go wrong? Well, the 9s mirror each other, so if they have a flaw, they will magnify it in their partner. They can spend a lifetime observing their parents and going over what went wrong. They have a desperate need to be perfect parents, and when they have children and something goes wrong (which it will), they can wallow in depression. It is essential that they forgive themselves for being human.

The 9s are old souls, and they should have great respect for each other. They, unlike other number combinations, have a chance for a love that runs so deep, it transcends the merely physical and personal. 9 and 9: This relationship has much promise as it usually engages two charismatic types possessing much intellectual stimulation. The nature of the 9 is selfless, so this combination usually faces few challenges; each wanting to please the other and always be there for each other. A relationship offering the opportunity to grow, learn, and serve, this is often an inspiring combination.

The 9 Life Path with the 9 Life Path This relationship is considered a Natural Match in Numerology. When two 9 Life Paths get together, they are good at looking at life realistically, and they can’t help at times becomingnegative commentators because they are focusing too hard on the dark side of the larger picture. The 9 must find a way to get their point across, but at the same time be protective of each other’s feelings. Service is a big part of the 9/9 relationship. Both 9s feel called to help others, whether it is volunteering time at a shelter, or foster care for children. If two 9s come together and honor their need to selflessly care for others, they become a tremendous gift for anyone who knows them as a couple. Privately, they can be a bit high-strung, and they can have selfdoubts. One of the flaws in the 9 character is that they can come off as superior and belittling. Well, there is no way a fellow 9 is going to tolerate that.

The 9/9 combination must find a way to speak to one another without inflicting hurt and anger. A 9/9 relationship helps them choose their words carefully. This couple should find ways to exercise together, maybe taking long walks together, jogging, or just being with and appreciating nature. The outdoors is very healing for the 9/9 relationship. Spirituality is a big part of this pairing. It is fantastic if they share the same faith. Because then it means they both realize they are living on a higher plane and have learned to embrace their old soul Vibration. They have come through with a lot of insight and perception that they can share with others. On the other hand, if these two allow themselves to dwell in the resentment of the unjust things that happened in their early life, then they are living on the Negative side of this Vibration, and it can ruin both of them. It’s also really important that the two 9s never fall into unhealthy substance abuse, because that will interfere with the divine intuition they are both gifted with from birth.

The best thing the 9s can do is to stay in the moment and focus on today. That will keep their love alive. They have enormous passion andappreciation of each other, and when they hold each other, they just melt into each other’s arms. This can be exquisite. When a 9 Life Path finds a 9 Life Path, and they embrace the Positive side of their life Path completely, it is a true blessing, not just for them, but for all of us.
