The Dr. Josh Axe Show

Why Thyroid Meds Don’t Work for Most Women | Thyroid & Weight Loss Expert


Listen Later

1 out of 8 women will develop a thyroid condition, and up to 60% don’t even know they have it, often because symptoms are dismissed or misdiagnosed.

You might be one of the millions with undiagnosed thyroid issues. In this episode, Dr. Axe sits down with McCall McPherson: licensed PA, TEDx speaker, and founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic, to reveal what most doctors miss when it comes to thyroid, hormones, and metabolism.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why standard thyroid tests like TSH often miss the full picture

  • How hormones like cortisol and estrogen impact thyroid function

  • The truth about perimenopause and HRT most women don’t hear

  • Whether weight loss meds like Ozempic help—or hurt—thyroid healing
