🎗️ January is Thyroid Awareness Month
January is officially Thyroid Awareness Month—but for me, every month is thyroid awareness month.
As an endocrinologist, I care for people with thyroid conditions every single day, including:
• Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
• Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism
• Graves’ disease
• Thyroid nodules and goiter
• Thyroid cancer survivors
• Postpartum and perimenopausal thyroid dysfunction
• Subclinical and “borderline” thyroid disease
• Complex, treatment-resistant thyroid cases
The thyroid may be small, but its impact is anything but.
This tiny gland helps regulate metabolism, energy, mood, weight, heart health, temperature regulation, gut function, fertility, and brain health—touching nearly every system in the body.
That’s why everyone should know how well their thyroid is functioning—not just whether labs fall in a “normal” range, but whether thyroid hormones are working effectively at the cellular level.
Optimal thyroid health isn’t just about medication.
It’s about understanding the whole picture: nutrition, gut health, inflammation, stress, hormones, mitochondrial function, and individualized care.
This Thyroid Awareness Month, my hope is simple:
✨ More awareness
✨ Earlier recognition
✨ Better questions
✨ And truly personalized thyroid care
Because when the thyroid is supported properly, everything works better.
