Progesterone & Thyroid: A Hormonal Connection Essential for Optimal Women’s Health - HypoThyroidMom - I remember the day I saw this video by the Hotze Health & Wellness Center. I felt like they were describing me! Despite all my symptoms, no doctor ever thought to test my thyroid until I landed in the emergency room with painful kidney stones after my first son was born. It is an honor to include Dr. Steven Hotze’s guest blog post here today at Hypothyroid Mom. Thank you Dr. Hotze. -- 4 Ways to Diagnose HypoThyroidism -- Dr Steven Hotze Video

Anyone who has read my article 300+ Hypothyroidism Symptoms…Yes REALLY would consider hypothyroidism as a possible cause, and yet doctor after doctor insisted her thyroid was fine with a normal TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone). They insisted her symptoms especially her pain from fibromyalgia could not possibly be thyroid related. Turns out Jules had several large thyroid tumors pressing up against her throat.

Meyer doesn't mind the pay gap though, recently telling the Indianapolis Star that teaching gives him a sense of purpose in the off-season and a career to fall back on when his days as an athlete are over.
