Today, we are going to feature Dr. Westins Child’s talk about why thyroid medication is so controversial, and why getting your doctor to “come on board” might be challenging.
Why are so many thyroid patients dissatisfied with their current care?
Is it possible that our current thyroid management method or understanding is flawed?
