It's estimated that over 20 million people in the United States have some form of thyroid condition, and almost 60% of those people have no idea. On today’s “Ask Me Anything” episode, I am answering Diana’s question about what a full thyroid panel is and why you need it. Most doctors will run TSH levels if thyroid issues are suspected, but they stop there. I give the full run down on why that’s not good enough and the exact panels you’ll need to have to know if you have a thyroid issue. A full thyroid panel consists of not one, but six thyroid markers.  You need them all to to see the whole picture.This entire episode is one big love letter to all the women out there who are struggling and not getting the medical care that they deserve. And this is the episode that I wish I had 20 years ago. I share a bit of my personal experience with the long road to identifying the root cause of my hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's. And finally, I would be missing a huge opportunity if I didn't share with you some simple, actionable lifestyle adjustments that can help address the most common underlying root causes of thyroid issues.
