In this video I explore findings and research from Dr. Mark Starr’s book Hypothyroidism Type 2. Unlike Hypothyroidism Type 1 which is caused by insufficient production of thyroid hormones, Type 2 is characterized by compromised cellular uptake of thyroid hormones. The implications of this hidden epidemic are profound, and are a major cause of other maladies not normally considered to be related to the thyroid system – like high cholesterol, which many migraineurs also have.
I also delve into suggestions for more accurate testing, and supplements for supporting the whole thyroid system.
