Today, we’re talking about the thyroid: how it works, how it fits into the many systems in our body, and what to test when it’s not working properly.
In this episode, Dr. Carling explains why most typical thyroid testing is insufficient when a thyroid issue is suspected. Because the thyroid can be affected by so many other systems and because it plays a crucial role in the endocrine feedback loop, thyroid issues can be overlooked if practitioners aren’t careful and thorough. After today’s episode, you’ll have a better understanding of the role the thyroid plays in your life and where to look if you suspect yours is not functioning as it should.
