Thyroid & Natural Health Blog

For more than 30 years, I have been helping patients achieve optimum thyroid and adrenal health. I’ve also trained tens of thousands of doctors and healthcare professionals worldwide and strongly believe in the importance of sharing the information I have learned with people looking to improve their health naturally.

I want you to live a healthy life just like my satisfied patients; that’s why I’m sharing all the wisdom I have gained in this natural health blog.

Here, you’ll find crucial information about thyroid disease, adrenal fatigue, weight loss tips, healthy diet suggestions, the role that hormones have in the body, and much more.

My thyroid blog provides helpful tips on how to optimize your thyroid treatment regimen so that you’re always feeling your best. I also offer recommendations on natural supplements that can help minimize your dependence on traditional thyroid medications. I discuss the various diagnostic tests to confirm your diagnosis and the treatments you need to take to rebalance your thyroid.

Please check out some of my other blog posts, such as The Thyroid Reset Diet, How to Quickly Remove Excess Iodine From the Body, and my Thyroid Dose Conversion Calculator.

Rest assured, the information in this natural medicine blog is based on medical literature, not mere fads. As a board-certified naturopathic endocrinologist, I believe that the best care comes from a combination of natural and traditional therapies.

Remember: knowledge is power. The more you know, the better health decisions you’ll make. Let my informative blog posts on natural health and medicine help you with that!
