799 - Spotting a Hashimoto's Misdiagnosis and Treating The Real Cause Apr 05, 2023

Show notes

Lab testing done by a previous functional health practitioner told John he had Hashimoto's and needed to avoid meat. Following the practitioner's recommendations, he began a vegan diet, which only made him feel worse. When John came to our clinic, we listened more to his symptoms rather than lab values and customized a plan that ultimately led to him feeling better. Listen in to hear what dietary and lifestyle recommendations made the difference.
