In this solo episode, I dive into the controversy around thyroid medications, especially natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) such as Armour, and the recent FDA letters that have many patients worried. It’s easy to get caught up in headlines, recalls, and even fear of bans. But we have to ask deeper questions: Why are these medications under scrutiny? What does the science actually say? And most importantly, what does this mean for patients navigating hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s, and other thyroid conditions?

I walk through the different types of thyroid meds, why some are becoming harder to access, what FDA communications mean (and don’t mean), and what patterns are worth paying attention to. 

  • What are thyroid hormones and key thyroid markers
  • Types of thyroid medications
  • Prescription meds no longer accessible (tariffs)
  • FDA letter for DTE thyroid meds
  • Risks of international medications
  • DTE Survey of 12,000 patients
  • Levothyroxine recalled
  • Medications pulled from market
  • Genetic hypothyroidism
  • Thyroid medication study
  • Real talk with hypothyroidism and meds

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
