Contrary to popular belief, you don't HAVE to take your thyroid medication first thing in the morning.

In this video, I discuss some newer studies which show that taking thyroid medication in the evening can be just as effective (if not more effective) than taking in the morning.

The takeaway here is that it doesn't really matter when you take your thyroid medication so long as you are taking it on an empty stomach.

And to do that, all you need to do is make sure that you take it 2 hours after (or before) a meal.

This leaves the stomach with 2 hours to empty which means that food will not interfere with its absorption.

There are two ways to transition to taking your thyroid medication in the evening and I call them the non-skip approach and the skip approach. Most people have no problem taking their thyroid medication in the morning and then again in the evening but if you are sensitive then you may want to try the skip dose approach.
