What if stress and trauma could trigger serious health issues like thyroid disorders? That's one the subjects we explore in this compelling dialogue with my dear friend and respected colleague, Dr. Jeda Boughton. From her journey with Graves disease to how it shaped her robust practice in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Jeda's insights are as profound as they are enlightening.

Buckle up as we navigate through our own experiences when treating patients with thyroid disorders, emphasizing the critical role a knowledgeable practitioner plays in holistic health management. We also delve into the prevalence of thyroid disorders in North America, look at hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's, particularly in women, and stress the importance of sticking to TCM principles for diagnosis and treatment.
We discuss explore Chinese herbs, acupuncture, and lifestyle changes when it comes to thyroid health.
