## Resource

377: In today’s episode, thyroid expert McCall McPherson joins me to discuss the signs, symptoms, and root causes of thyroid dysfunction. We break down hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto’s, and why so many people are told their labs are “normal” despite struggling with fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and other symptoms. McCall also shares her perspective on GLP-1 medications, thyroid testing, thyroid medication, and the lifestyle factors that can support better thyroid health and long-term wellness. Topics Discussed: → What are the signs and symptoms of thyroid dysfunction? → How does thyroid health affect metabolism, hormones, and digestion? → Why do so many people have normal labs but still feel unwell? → Can Hashimoto's be improved through diet and lifestyle? → What should you know about GLP-1 medications and thyroid health? → Which thyroid tests are most important to run?
