Summary

Hashimoto's thyroid disease affects millions of women, yet many continue to struggle with fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, hair loss, depression, and hormone imbalanceโ€”even after being told their thyroid labs are "normal." In this episode, I sit down with thyroid expert McCall McPherson, founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic, to uncover why conventional thyroid care often leaves women suffering and what a truly comprehensive approach looks like. We discuss why relying on TSH alone can miss significant thyroid dysfunction, why a complete thyroid panel matters, how thyroid health affects hormones, metabolism, gut health, inflammation, and menopause, and why so many women continue to experience symptoms despite taking thyroid medication. ๐Ÿ”ฅ You'll also learn: ๐Ÿ“ Why many women are under treated for hypothyroidism ๐Ÿ“ The thyroid lab tests everyone should request ๐Ÿ“ The difference between T4 and T3 medications ๐Ÿ“ How Hashimoto's impacts hormones and metabolism ๐Ÿ“ The connection between gut health and thyroid function ๐Ÿ“ Common nutrition mistakes women with Hashimoto's make ๐Ÿ“ Why advocating for yourself may be the key to finally feeling better If you've ever been told your thyroid is "normal" but you know something still isn't right, this conversation could completely change the way you approach your health. ๐Ÿ”— https://mccallmcpherson.com ๐Ÿ”— https://modernthyroidclinic.com ๐Ÿ”— Take Back Your Thyroid (releases February 9, 2027) https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/815338/take-back-your-thyroid-by-mccall-mcpherson-pa-c-foreword-by-dr-izabella-wentz/
