What can you do about hyperthyroidism-induced hair loss? Are skin issues common with Hashimoto’s? Does Graves’ disease affect your teeth?

Today, I’m back with another Q&A episode, answering multiple questions submitted by the Save My Thyroid community. While I can’t get to everyone’s questions every time, I love creating these for you, and I’ll do similar episodes every couple of months. Please share your questions with me by emailing [email protected], and I'll include the most relevant ones in upcoming episodes.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Q1: What can be used to reduce goiter in hyperthyroidism?

Q11: What can you do to get rid of the dry skin that comes with Graves’ disease?

Q12: I still keep needing to up my thyroid medication. I don't seem to stabilize and I don't know why. Why is it not working even though I follow the advice and wait, taking it on an empty stomach?

Q13: Does Graves’ disease affect your teeth?
