Dr. Dee and Jessica discuss thyroid health. 

There is a lot of misinformation, even in the medical community, about thyroid: what is normal, what is the cause of hypothyroidism (low thyroid), and how to create an environment for our thyroid to function optimally. 

Often people have symptoms that can be attributed to low thyroid, but they get bloodwork that their physician interprets as "normal." However, what's considered normal on labs does not necessarily correlate with being well and thriving. 

Many people do not realize that diet can play a huge role in not only whether or not the thyroid hormone is being produced as it should, but also if that hormone is being use effectively in the tissues, and even can be the reason that the thyroid gland begins to fail.
