RHR: Understanding the Gut–Thyroid Axis, Hypothyroidism, and Hashimoto’s, with Dr. Michael Ruscio

Doctor, clinical researcher, and author Dr. Michael Ruscio joins Chris in this episode of Revolution Health Radio to discuss the important and often overlooked connection between gut health, nutrient absorption, and thyroid function. They talk about why so many people are misdiagnosed with hypothyroidism and misprescribed thyroid medication, the myth that Hashimoto’s always leads to hypothyroidism, how gut symptoms can be similar to symptoms of hypothyroidism and how patients can be misdiagnosed with hypothyroidism when they really have underlying gut disorders, and why people with subclinical hypothyroidism should generally not be prescribed thyroid hormone.
