Is Your Thyroid Diagnosis Correct? Dr. Michael Ruscio, DC 2023-05-22 | In this episode, I answer the question, “Is your thyroid diagnosis correct?” Surprisingly, this question is asked more commonly than you think. Even in the functional medicine sphere, thyroid issues are overdiagnosed and overtreated, often leading patients down the wrong treatment path. Rather than being shoehorned into a thyroid diagnosis, it’s important to look at the scientific evidence that explains why it may not be your thyroid causing symptoms of fatigue, digestive issues, or brain fog. Listen in to hear when thyroid medication and interventions are necessary, what TPO and TSH levels indicate a thyroid issue, and what steps you can take to discover the true root cause of your health issues.Featured Studies pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30351232 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33161885 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11836274pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28536577pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27607246Related ResourcesThe Gut-Thyroid Connection: drruscio.com/the-gut-thyroid-connection1 How to Get Off Thyroid Meds Naturally: drruscio.com/how-to-get-off-thyroid-medication Thyroid Course: drruscio.com/thyroid-course Continue LearningCourses, free guides, and more: drruscio.com/resources?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=drruscio.com_resourcesTimestamps00:00 Intro 00:23 Overprescribed Hormone - The Data02:18 Symptom Confusion03:47 TSH Levels06:24 Why You Should Look Elsewhere10:09 What About Sluggish Thyroid?12:07 Thyroid Autoimmunity & TPO Levels17:29 What You Can Do NowGet the Latest UpdatesFacebook - facebook.com/DrRusciodcInstagram - instagram.com/drrusciodcPinterest - pinterest.ca/drmichaelrusciodcDISCLAIMER: The information on this site is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
