One of the most important lessons I learned in my thyroid and adrenal journey is this: your body temperature tells the truth.
No one told me about temperature tracking. I didn’t read it in a book or hear it from a doctor. I discovered it because I was so fed up with the endless cycle of labs, medications, and symptoms that didn’t make sense.
I was tired of waiting for test results that didn’t match how I felt. I knew something wasn’t right and was determined to figure it out. That’s when I started taking my temperature out of curiosity, frustration, and honestly, desperation.
Most doctors had dismissed my low body temperature as “normal,” but through years of research, I found thyroid experts like Dr. Broda Barnes, Dr. James L. Wilson, and Paul Robinson who talked about the importance of body temperature for thyroid and adrenal health. So I started tracking.
And what I found was shocking. My temperature was consistently low and fluctuated wildly, sometimes dropping as low as 95.5°F in the afternoon. No wonder I felt so many symptoms—fatigue, brain fog, cold hands and feet, and that constant feeling that my body just wasn’t keeping up.
That was the turning point. Tracking my temperature became the tool that helped me finally understand what my body was trying to tell me. When thyroid lab testing failed me, tracking body temperature saved me.
Low Temperature Is a Clue, Not a Fluke
Low body temperature is one of the clearest signs that your thyroid and adrenals are struggling. It’s a message from your body that it’s running too slow, that something is off with your metabolism, and that your thyroid needs support.
If you’re waking up tired, struggling to focus, feeling cold all the time, or noticing stubborn weight gain, you’re not imagining it. And you’re not alone. Your temperature may hold the answers.
What I Wish I’d Known Sooner
If I had known how to track my temperature the right way and use it to guide my healing, I could have saved myself years of frustration.
That’s why temperature tracking is the foundation of the HypoHero™ Thyroid Protocol. It’s not just about taking random readings or guessing what they mean. It’s about learning how to spot patterns, understand the clues your body is giving you, and use that information to empower your healing.
This isn’t something most doctors teach you. And it’s not something you can just figure out from a quick internet search. It took me years of trial and error to uncover this system, so I built the HypoHero™ Thyroid Protocol to guide others through it, step by step.
The Path to Healing
If you’re frustrated by thyroid lab results and thyroid medications that aren’t helping, and you have ongoing symptoms that don’t make sense, there’s a better way. Your temperature holds the clues. You need the right system to understand it and know what to do next.
That’s what the HypoHero™ Thyroid Protocol is here to help you with.

How long into using thyroid meds did it take to get your temperature up to normal Lizzy?

Hi Christine, what might have taken six months or less to raise my body temperature, actually took me a couple of years because I increased my medicine much too slowly. People say its wise to raise slowly, like every few weeks, but I waited many months between each increase. xxooLizzy

Hi!
Found your blog when I searched information about my hypothyroidism. I’m curious why a varying temperature can detect adrenal disease? do you know where I can read more about it?
Thanks 🙂
