In this episode of Outside the Box Healthcare, Dr. Matthew Kettman (The OG Dr. Rock) dives into the thyroid gland and its powerful role in regulating energy, mood, and weight. He explains common signs of hypothyroidism, like fatigue, hair loss, and weight gain, and why thyroid issues are often overlooked. Dr. Rock covers standard testing and treatment with synthetic hormones, then explores what happens when symptoms persist despite “normal” labs. He shares insights from functional medicine, including cautious use of natural and alternative thyroid treatments. The episode wraps up with practical advice: trust your symptoms, seek open conversations with your doctor, and don’t settle if you still feel unwell.
