Beyond the Thyroid – Episode 43: New Year’s Resolutions for Thyroid Patients in 2026

Welcome to the first Beyond the Thyroid episode recorded in 2026, released during Thyroid Awareness Month.

In this episode, Dr. Dana Gibbs outlines five critical things thyroid patients must stop doing in 2026 if they want to move beyond frustration, dismissal, and incomplete care. These are not surface-level resolutions — they are foundational mindset and treatment shifts that determine whether patients truly improve or stay stuck with “normal labs” and persistent symptoms.

Dr. Gibbs explains why outdated assumptions about thyroid care continue to dominate medicine — and how patients can take back control by understanding what really matters in thyroid and hormone health.

In this episode, you’ll learn why it’s time to stop:

• Treating TSH as the gold standard
• Ignoring reverse T3
• Obsessing over antibody levels without understanding Hashimoto’s
• Overlooking insulin resistance
• Relying solely on levothyroxine when symptoms persist

This episode sets the tone for 2026: informed patients, better questions, and smarter thyroid care.
