But Bowthorpe proved them all wrong by 2002. She switched to Natural Desiccated Thyroid, raised and found her optimal amount, and every single debilitating symptom went completely away.

Janie and I dive deep into all things hypothyroidism including optimizing your thyroid medication, addressing underlying issues, testing, our failed medical system and pharmaceuticals and so much more.
