My initial inclination was to tell you it's hopeless and to give up now, but that could be construed as somewhat unhelpful. So I wrote this. hormonesdemystified.com/how-to-find-yo…

I finally accepted the fact that the practice of medicine is no longer tenable...so I quit. This is the unflinching look at how I got there. hormonesdemystified.com/medicine-is-we…

In these two episodes of The Health Investment podcast, I separate hormone myths from fact. I give an honest recounting of why I became an Endocrinologist. And of course, I rant about alternative medicine. hormonesdemystified.com/hd-on-the-heal…

On this episode of Docs Who Lift, we talk about nuanced thyroid testing, including exactly why reverse T3 levels are virtually worthless. If this doesn't convince you that your alt med provider is swimming in the shallow end of the intellectual pool... hormonesdemystified.com/why-alternativ…

Both Spencer and Karl look like they could benchpress me single-armed, but they took it easy on me and let me talk about my two favorite subjects: alternative medicine and myself. hormonesdemystified.com/hormones-demys…

Do T3-containing meds like pig thyroid suppress TSH out of proportion to what happens with equivalent doses of levothyroxine? Let's hunt for evidence. hormonesdemystified.com/t3-controversi…

In a new clinical trial, study participants preferred desiccated thyroid and T4/T3 combination therapy over T4 alone, but is there more to this than the conclusion? hormonesdemystified.com/pig-thyroid-is…

You can call it Alternative Medicine, CAM, Naturopathy, Integrative Medicine, or Functional Medicine - doesn't matter - a duck is still a duck. Come be a voyeur as a reader shares her real-life experience with a FM doc. hormonesdemystified.com/the-dysfunctio…

Which sounds better to you: taking a physiologic dose of T3, or a heroic bolus that acts like an illicit stimulant? If you get your care from alt med, chances are you'll be slammed with the latter. hormonesdemystified.com/t3-controversi…

My two-year blog update in March 2019 included a cliff-hanger about a talk I was asked to give to a national audience of Endocrinologists - so let's kick off my third year-in-review with that! hormonesdemystified.com/hormones-demys…

In assessing whether there is value in monitoring T3 levels and restoring them to normal in hypothyroidism, I think it helps to return to first principles. And no, "more T3 is better" is not a first principle. hormonesdemystified.com/t3-controversi…

In this next post in the T3 Controversies Series, we cover whether T3 therapy must be used to account for tissues that can't make their own T3. hormonesdemystified.com/t3-controversi…
