In this solo episode, I dive into the controversy around thyroid medications, especially natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) such as Armour, and the recent FDA letters that have many patients worried. It’s easy to get caught up in headlines, recalls, and even fear of bans. But we have to ask deeper questions: Why are these medications under scrutiny? What does the science actually say? And most importantly, what does this mean for patients navigating hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s, and other thyroid conditions?

I walk through the different types of thyroid meds, why some are becoming harder to access, what FDA communications mean (and don’t mean), and what patterns are worth paying attention to.
