About this episode
Although I and others have discussed thyroid health issues many times over the years, I still see people struggling to understand how to best manage this important area of health. And getting thyroid right to optimal levels is really fairly straightforward, except that many doctors remain uninformed or disinterested in helping you achieve ideal thyroid status. Among the issues I address: How to recognize symptoms of thyroid dysfunction, especially hypothyroidism How to use oral temperature as a screening tool for thyroid disease What blood tests you need to insist on for a full thyroid assessment How to manage iodine Why so many people taking levothyroxine remain hypothyroid The role of the microbiome in thyroid health Why addressing the T3 thyroid hormone is our workaround for an inability to fully avoid industrial chemicals My new book is Super Gut: A Four-Week Plan to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health, and Lose Weight that shows you 1) how to identify and replace lost microbes from the human microbiome with extraordinary results, and 2) how to beat back unhealthy microbes that have proliferated and can be responsible for numerous health conditions.
