Why Do So Many Thyroid Patients Still Feel Terrible? with McCall McPherson - Ep. 103
Your thyroid labs are “normal”… so why do you still feel exhausted, foggy, frustrated with your weight, or just not like yourself?
In this episode of Thyroid-Healthy Bites, I’m joined by thyroid and hormone health expert McCall McPherson, PA-C, founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic, to explore why so many thyroid patients continue to struggle even after they’ve been diagnosed and treated.
We talk about why TSH doesn’t always tell the whole story, “normal” vs. optimal thyroid lab ranges, thyroid antibodies and Hashimoto’s, and why some patients do well on levothyroxine while others may need a different approach. We also dig into how to sort out thyroid symptoms from other health issues, the role of nutrition and lifestyle, why weight loss can be so challenging with thyroid disease, GLP-1 medications, and how to find a thyroid specialist who can help you get the care you need.
If you’ve ever been told “everything looks fine” when you most definitely do not feel fine, this conversation is for you.
