Hypothyroid
These curated articles and podcast episodes focus specifically on hypothyroidism. Surprisingly it is one of the most common and misunderstood thyroid conditions I see in clinical practice.
Here, you’ll find guidance on key topics like how to know if you truly have hypothyroidism, what symptoms to watch for, and how to understand your lab results more clearly.
I also cover practical strategies to help you feel better and restore thyroid function naturally, including:
- How to tell if you’re under-treated (even if your labs look “normal”)
- Do you need thyroid meds? If so, which are best
- Natural approaches that may reduce the need for medication
- Which supplements support healthy thyroid function—and which to avoid
- Common comorbidities that can make hypothyroidism harder to treat
Whether you’ve been diagnosed recently or have struggled for years without clear answers, this collection is designed to help you better understand your condition and take meaningful steps toward recovery.
