The thyroid plays a vital role in the body’s metabolic process.
When it fails to function the way it’s supposed to, it affects
how food and nutrients are regulated. In more serious cases like
hypothyroidism, there are also underlying effects like weight
gain, inability to lose weight, fatigue, intolerance to cold
temperature, depression, etc. Dr. Jockers talks about thyroid
hormone resistance, how it is developed, and the patterns that
lead to unhealthy thyroid functions. He shares several at-home
tests and lab markers to check for thyroid problems and explains
why medical practitioners should never rely on lab tests through
the medical ranges ALONE.


 


“If there is a thyroid issue, most likely it’s actually
an issue with the brain, with the liver, with the gut, or all of
them.”


- Dr. David Jockers
