    Thyroid Expert: “Save Your Thyroid!” Misconceptions About the Thyroid. Dr. Angela Mazza

    Thyroid Expert: “Save Your Thyroid!” Misconceptions About the Thyroid. Dr. Angela Mazza

    Understanding the thyroid is one of the most important things women can do, especially in perimenopause and menopause. There are so many misconceptions surrounding the thyroid, including appropriate testing, supplements, medications, diet, lifestyle, the different causes, and contributing factors to thyroid dysfunction. 
    The guidance people receive from their healthcare providers often leave them confused, and often they still don’t feel well and symptoms persist despite being on medication to treat their thyroid disorder. 
    Dr. Mazza is triple board-certified in endocrinology, internal medicine, and anti-aging and regenerative medicine. She is the author of the recently released book, “Thyroid Talk,” and the owner of the Metabolic Center for Wellness in Florida.  She uses a unique, integrative approach to managing and treating thyroid and other metabolic disorders, and she is only physician in Central Florida who can perform a safe, non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure for thyroid nodules! 
     In this conversation, Dr. Mazza dispels thyroid myths, discusses needed testing to appropriately evaluate thyroid function, answers the most commonly asked questions about Hashimoto’s disease, explains why autoimmune diseases increase with age in women, new research on selenium, why women in perimenopause and menopause struggle with weight loss, use of GLP-1 medications, and she provides actionable steps one can take to improve their thyroid and overall health.
