    On today’s show, Dr. T talks with his co-host Jennifer about Thyroid conditions. Jennifer has been suffering from low thyroid for about 8 years, taking a prescribed medication to manage her symptoms.

    The thyroid is a gland located in your throat that produces hormones that regulate the body’s metabolic rate, growth and development, controlling how fast your heart beats, body weight and how deeply you breathe. If your thyroid is not functioning properly, you may experience weight gain, fatigue, thinning hair and depression.

    Dr. T talks with Jennifer about the condition, explaining that prescription medication doesn’t need to be the answer to her struggles. Checking your diet and supplements are the first step in managing thyroid and many other conditions, in a natural way.
