Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s (autoimmune hypothyroidism) are often thought of as a women’s health issue, but we cannot neglect the fact that many males also suffer from this life-altering condition. In fact, Hashimoto’s is on the rise for men and has been for a number of years.

When it comes to testing hormones, there’s a consideration that I’ve known about for a long time and it’s been recently elucidated to me just how important it is. Indeed, we’re talking about a possible hormonal hostage situation that affects both men and women.

If you’ve been on a journey of resolving your adrenal dysfunction and hypothyroidism, it’s possible that you’ve either read about or worked with a practitioner who’s suggested bovine (cow) or porcine (pig) glandular supplements. This is misguided. And I’m calling out one supplement company and also one facet of practitioners.
