On today’s episode of Gut Check Radio, we kick off a brand new, thirteen-part series called “13 Tips to Heal Your Thyroid”. In this first installment, we start off by answering the obvious question: Why is my Thyroid health so important in the first place? I introduce you to one of my most fundamental and important philosophies when it comes to all things thyroid health, to always “Test, not Guess”, and I explain how running the right thyroid tests can make all the difference in our overall health. I walk you through which tests we should each be running and what they can actually tell us about the way our bodies are working, as well as which tests we might want to stay away from. With this paramount knowledge of how to properly assess how your thyroid is doing, you’re going to be off to a fast start on your thyroid-healing journey!
