Lies that your doctor told you about the thyroid: Have you heard any of these?
A list of lies that doctors tell thyroid patients about their thyroid. You would hope that your doctor is the single BEST person to talk to about your thyroid, right? You would think so but it's often not correct.
Unfortunately, doctors are trained in a certain way and even with the best intentions give out false information when it comes to thyroid treatment and management.
This video outlines just some of the lies that I've heard from doctors. They are probably not lying on purpose but telling someone something that isn't true is still a problem and only leads to confusion for thyroid patients.
If you have experienced any of these lies then let me know in the comment section below!
#1. Biotin is harmful to your thyroid and should be avoided.
#2. The dose of natural desiccated thyroid fluctuates and is not consistent
#3. Taking your thyroid out is an easy solution for fixing thyroid problems
#4. Supplements do not help your thyroid and can hurt your thyroid.
#5. Free T3 and Free T4 lab tests are not important and don’t need to be tested.
#6. Once you start taking thyroid medication you must take it for life.
Also, if you are wondering whether or not something your doctor has said is true let me know below and I will do a part 2!
