Why Your Thyroid May Not Be Broken | Dr. Alan Christianson

In this episode of You’re the Cure, Dr. Ben Edwards sits down with Dr. Alan Christianson, naturopathic endocrinologist and New York Times bestselling author, to talk about a fresh approach to thyroid disease—one that goes beyond simply managing symptoms. Together, they discuss Hashimoto’s, Graves’ disease, thyroid nodules, iodine overload, and why thyroid issues may be more reversible than many people realize. Dr. Christianson shares how excess iodine from food, salt, dairy, medications, and hidden sources can impact thyroid health, and how the body can often reset when given the right environment. This conversation is packed with practical insight for anyone dealing with thyroid symptoms, autoimmune thyroid disease, weight struggles, or confusing lab results.
