If your thyroid pill is working, why do you still feel tired and foggy?
Many women come through our pharmacy with that issue. One thyroid pill turned into 5 prescriptions, and they don’t feel any better.
No one went back to ask one question: Is the thyroid pill actually working?
My guest this week isn’t afraid to ask. Dr. Angela Mazza is a triple board-certified endocrinologist, and one of the few in her field willing to look at thyroid therapy with a different lens.
