Now I am the founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic which now I get to actually give patients their lives back every day, so it’s kind of a cool full circle thing.” (12:30) “The sooner you can tune into your symptoms and tune into what to look out for and how to advocate for yourself, the sooner your symptoms will be solved and your mystery will be solved.” (17:47) “My whole saying in my practice, and even now for Thyroid Nation, is there is no reason to still have thyroid symptoms, and I really believe that there isn't. And that is the goal.” (25:34) “If I can get everyone into all of these labs into these very extremely narrow margins, it's like a light switch comes on, and people get their lives back.” (33:03)   Resources Mentioned Free Thyroid Lab Guide Thyroid Nation Website Modern Thyroid Clinic Website McCall McPherson Website Get the Essential Oil Hormone Solution Here Follow Dr. Mariza’s Virtual Book Club on Facebook | Instagram   Other Resources: The Essential Oils Hormone Solution by Dr. Mariza Check out the full show notes page Keep up with everything Dr. Mariza Follow Dr. Mariza on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Youtube
