I have a question about this episode Episode 28: Melissa Navarro and this Thyroid Troubles. I am a 64-year-old female with Hashimoto’s/Hypothyroidism. I am tired of feeling fatigued, being in pain all over, experiencing brain fog, and feeling depressed because of my condition. I need guidance on how to change my situation. Levothyroxine does not seem effective. I've tried gluten-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free diets and still feel the same. I cannot lose the extra weight I want to lose. I've seen an endocrinologist who prescribed Phentermine, but only basic labs were performed. Please help me or tell me who can assist me. Thank you. Shelly S.
I have thyroid problems, specifically hypothyroidism. I started taking Synthroid when I was about 22, and now I'm 32. Recently, I've begun losing my hair due to alopecia and have developed an intolerance to eggs. Where should I start to address these health issues?
How does a person get a genetic test? I'm 65, had a total hysterectomy at age 30, and have had no synthetic hormones since 2000. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism at age 30 and was on Synthroid until 2000, when my doctor switched me to Armour. I've been on Lexapro for years for anxiety. My father had pernicious anemia and had to take B12 his whole life. I'm exhausted, depressed, and at a loss for what to do. I still work full-time at 65. Please advise. I love your podcast.
