In this short, McCall McPherson, founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic, explains how a decade of treating women with thyroid disorders revealed a persistent problem: despite proper diet and exercise, patients could not regain metabolic function or lose weight. Determined to solve this, McPherson investigated GLP (glucagon‑like peptide) drugs after they were marketed for weight loss. The clinic launched a beta program, rigorously collecting extensive clinical data from the first cohort of women placed on GLP therapy. The results were striking—patients not only shed weight but also experienced broader metabolic healing and unexpected physiological improvements, suggesting GLPs can unlock metabolic function in thyroid‑affected women.

I want to tell you first how I got into this field. Modern Thyroid Clinic has been my other baby for a decade now, but we do an excellent job at giving women their lives back with thyroid conditions, taking them from almost disabled and plagued with fatigue to thriving. But there was one thing that we couldn't consistently fix, and it was killing my soul. We could not give women back their metabolic function. They would do all the things. They would eat well. They would exercise. And they could not appropriately lose weight with effort. And so I did all— like, over the last 10 years, I've explored every last option that there is. Our patients are not really afraid to put in the work. So it's not a them problem. It's like something changed in their physiology. So when GLPs were rebranded for weight loss, I dove headfirst in. What makes us really good at our job and our practice is we are excellent data collectors and analyzers. And so we started collecting a massive amount of data on the first beta group of our patients at Modern Thyroid Clinic that we put on GLPs. And the results were profound. And it happened. We saw these women lose weight, but it went so much deeper than that. We saw metabolic healing. We saw a slew of things shift in their physiology that we didn't really expect.
