One of the most common stories I hear in my clinic goes something like this:
“My labs came back normal, but I still feel exhausted, foggy, and frustrated. My doctor told me everything was fine.”

If you’ve ever heard that, you know how invalidating it feels. Thyroid health is complex, and a single TSH test rarely tells the whole story. Patients deserve more than a shrug and “you’re fine.”

This is where deeper testing and careful listening matter. When we look beyond the surface, we often discover what’s really driving the fatigue, weight changes, or brain fog. And when treatment is personalized, patients finally feel seen and heard.

If you’ve been told your labs are normal, but you *know* something still isn’t right — trust your experience. Your symptoms matter.

If you’ve seen posts claiming the FDA is “banning” natural desiccated thyroid (NDT), it’s normal to feel worried. When your thyroid health is at risk, confusing headlines can spark concerns about the future of your treatment.

But here’s the truth: social media often leaves out important context. That’s why I wrote a full breakdown on what’s really happening with NDT, the FDA, and what it means for patients.

The goal? To clear away the noise so you can stay informed without panic. Take a moment to read the full article, and if it helps you understand the bigger picture and feel more empowered, share it with someone who also takes NDT.

This is easily one of the most accurate descriptions of the American healthcare system. It is genuinely dysfunctional to its very core.

What if hospitals and health insurance companies like UnitedHealth Group, Anthem, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, and others were actually honest about how horrificall...
