Join Dr. Monica Jauregui in a revealing conversation with Dr. Dana Gibbs, a thyroid specialist known for her integrative approach to hormone health. In Part 1 of this episode, they unpack the common misconceptions surrounding thyroid health, with a special focus on hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s disease. Dr. Gibbs breaks down confusing lab results, highlights why a "normal TSH" doesn’t always mean everything’s fine, and helps listeners understand the nuanced differences between Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism. This episode lays the groundwork for a deeper understanding of thyroid function and why patients must become advocates for their own care.

In Part 1 of my conversation with Dr. Dana Gibbs, we unpack the often misunderstood world of thyroid health. Too many people are told their labs are “normal” based on a single TSH reading—but as Dr. Gibbs explains, that’s only one piece of a much bigger puzzle.
We dive into the differences between hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s, why thyroid levels can fluctuate, and how we need to rethink what “thyroid dysfunction” really means. If you’ve been searching for answers about your thyroid—or wondering why you still don’t feel like yourself—this episode offers clarity, validation, and a more complete way to look at your health.
