Could your unexplained thyroid symptoms be traced back to a brain injury you barely remember?

Dr. Eric reveals the link between brain trauma and thyroid dysfunction that most medical professionals overlook. TBIs can compromise the brain's control center for thyroid function, leading to central hypothyroidism and impaired recovery. Beyond direct damage, brain injuries trigger inflammatory responses that potentially initiate autoimmune processes affecting thyroid health.

If you’ve ever suffered a concussion or head trauma, this is an episode that you can’t miss. Understanding the connection between brain injuries and thyroid health could be the answer to your healing journey.
