One of the greatest crimes to women and humanity is that we have ignored the role of hormones in our brain and mental health for the last four decades. And for the men too. One in eight women is walking around with an undiagnosed thyroid disorder because of the toxins in our system and doctors missing it. My brothers and sisters, your brain is not broken and your mind is not a mess. It is just a busy brain. So please, if you do anything from this lecture, get a full whole thyroid panel. It is so important that we look at the hormonal imbalances of thyroid polycystic ovarian disease, autoimmune disease. I am not one to push medications or supplements, but if there are two things that I am a stickler for, both men and women is your thyroid and your vitamin D3 level.
