McCall McPherson, a physician associate and thyroid expert, argues that standard 4-8 minute appointments can't address complex thyroid disorders. Her approach claims to reduce Hashimoto's antibodies and achieve remission in some patients through her nationwide clinic network.
McCall McPherson is a pioneering physician associate, one of the world's leading experts in thyroid health.
I can tell you that I was trained to see patients in 4 to 8 minutes. You know what you can't solve in 4 to 8 minutes? Complex thyroid problems. We are able to influence Hashimoto's antibodies, we are able to reduce them, and in some cases get people completely into remission.
She runs clinics all over the country that specialize in healing hypothyroidism.
McCall's unique approach stems from her journey as both a practitioner and patient.
Tell us more about the thyroid and why we all should pay attention to if it's healthy or not.
Don't just check the screening hormone if you're persistently symptomatic. Don't settle on only TSH. Advocate for the full picture because that's what it takes for so many women to finally get answers. She's helped thousands finally to find relief where medicine fell short. But I want them to know what labs they need, what the optimal ranges are, what they should be looking for, how often. And I share that so freely so that women can effectively navigate this really confusing but common thing. All of these things, if we can fix someone's thyroid, we can protect so many aspects of our long-term health. So now we're basing optimal and normal, quote, normal lab ranges on sick people, even including people with the condition we're trying to rule out, which from a data standpoint makes no sense. There is nothing that I have ever seen that can influence inflammation even in a remotely comparable way as GLPs.
