The Thyroid Debacle with Dr. Eric Balcavage

In this week’s episode, we have with us Dr. Eric Balcavage, the co-author of The Thyroid Debacle, host of the Thyroid Answers podcast, and the owner and founder of Rejuvagan, a functional medicine clinic in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. 

Together we talk about what’s wrong with the western Medicine approach to thyroid care, and how we as practitioners can do things differently from a Functional perspective. 

IN THIS EPISODE:

Why Is The book called “The Thyroid Debacle”
There are countless clients who struggle from chronic hypothyroid signs and symptoms who are told that they don’t have a problem with their thyroid. At the same time, there are also those who get diagnosed with hypothyroidism and get medications and improved lab numbers, but still struggle with hypothyroid signs and symptoms.  These people continue to suffer because they are told they can’t have thyroid problems because their labs are normal.

The Correlation Between People on Hypothyroidism Medication and Risk Of Cancer
Hypothyroid clients who have “sick cells” are given T4.  In this situation, the metabolism of the sick cells can increase, causing the precancerous or cancerous cells to replicate and lead to cancer.
