Thyroid: Articles & Information

The following articles and podcasts present information on thyroid topics that are extremely helpful for the patients I help week in and week out.

I cover topics that are important to understand, like what kind of thyroid medication is best for your condition, when it is OK to quit medications, and what kind of natural products are available to improve your glandular and overall health.

The thyroid information I present here is designed to help you understand the following:
