ARTICLES - My Research

Articles on optimizing thyroid, adrenal, and steroid hormone function and why it is so important for your health.

I decided not to write the book on thyroid and adrenal function because too many people need the information now. I prefer writing to making videos, and this way, I can also include references.

Writing a book would have taken me a couple of years, and since my research is ongoing, I've decided to share my articles here and add to them as often as possible. This way, you can be part of the continuous learning process.

The subject matter of the articles will be more varied than endocrinology, but it will also provide information on how to eat to optimize your health. Per my research, optimum health starts with diet and adequate thyroid and adrenal function. But there are a myriad of elements that make this work. It's a complex puzzle, and I will not only raise issues you would never have associated with these two endocrine glands but also explain how they all operate together.
