Thanks Chris for covering this very specific thyroid topic. I learned a great deal and went back to listen to your original podcast about thyroid in general to learn the basics plus re-listened to this one to connect the dots basically. I now have an appt with my specialists to go over what my increased concerns area and have a better understanding of the topic, which helps be feel more confidant discussing it with my provider instead of just sitting in silence and ignorance. Thanks again, keep up the great work.
