If you are like many thyroid patients then you know that finding a good thyroid doctor can be very difficult. You probably know that medications like NDT and T3 can really help and you may even know they are right for you but what good is that information if you can't find a doctor to prescribe them?
If you fit into that category then this video is for you! Here you will find tips and tricks that I would personally use to help me find a doctor based off of the information that I now know.
If you are a thyroid patient that is suffering then try these tips:
#1. Call a local compounding pharmacy and see if you can get a list of names of doctors that prescribed SR t3 or compounded T4 + t3 thyroid medications.
#2. Call the office of the doctor in question BEFORE you schedule an appointment. Ask how they treat thyroid patients:
Is this doctor willing to order more than the TSH?
Are they willing to use Tirosint or Armour thyroid?
Will they allow you to use natural supplements?
#3. Check the ratings of the doctor to see what kind of experience others patients have had.
#4. Use doctor directories from holistic training centers including:
IFM (institute for functional medicine) - [ Ссылка ]
Andrew Weil center for integrative medicine - [ Ссылка ]
A4M - [ Ссылка ]
#5. Ask for referrals in thyroid support Facebook groups.
#6. Contact advanced laboratory testing centers and ask for a list of doctors that order these tests in your state
DUTCH testing - hormone testing
Genova - stool testing
Great plains laboratory - organic acid testing
ZRT laboratories
Cyrex laboratories
#7. Look for doctors that write blog posts, host podcast, or create youtube videos.
#8. Look for doctors that specialize in anti-aging medicine, bio-identical hormone therapy, integrative medicine, functional medicine, or personalized medicine.
#9. Get referrals from local health coaches or chiropractors
