But Bowthorpe proved them all wrong by 2002. She switched to Natural Desiccated Thyroid, raised and found her optimal amount, and every single debilitating symptom went completely away. That change spurred her to create the patient-to-patient movement later called Stop the Thyroid Madness, aka STTM. Whether or not you have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism or you suspect you have it you will want to listen to this episode! Janie and I dive deep into all things hypothyroidism including optimizing your thyroid medication, addressing underlying issues, testing, our failed medical system and pharmaceuticals and so much more.
