As a Health Coach and individual who has struggled with hypothyroidism herself, I am familiar with the thyroid medications out there. However, the more I researched and from personal experience .... the more I began to notice there's a huge lack of education of the types of medications out there and that people are usually given only one option per their doctor's recommendation.  Although medications are great and they can support your body and bring balance, it's also important to know that medications will not solve all of your issues or heal your thyroid disease or magically take away all of your issues.  Guest, Rachael Webster - (Hashimotos coach & Doctor of Pharmacy), and I put our heads together to provide you education on thyroid medications, what is out there, what medication is best for what root cause and lifestyle changes that will have to be made in order to FULLY HEAL.
