If you are diagnosed with a hypothyroid condition, I suggest having your
iodine levels checked before beginning thyroid hormone
replacement therapy. If you take thyroid
hormone and you are deficient in iodine, the thyroid
replacement actually exacerbates the deficiency.
Many patients can effectively treat their hypothyroid condition by correcting iodine deficiency.
Hypothyroidism is a common medical problem It is, however, a treatable condition that can be managed.
