Replay - Thyroid Health and Optimization for Women with McCall McPherson

Wild Medicine

McCall McPherson is the founder of the Modern Thyroid Clinic, a thyroid-centered functional medicine practice in Austin Texas, and she is the Owner and Chief Thyroid Hope Giver of Thyroid Nation. She is a physician, assistant, a recent TEDx speaker, and a thyroid expert (after being a thyroid patient herself).

McCall’s passion for perfecting thyroid treatment stems from years of her suffering due to the mismanagement of her own hypothyroidism. Now she lives, breathes and thrives in understanding the nuances of proper thyroid care. Her philosophy is simple: There is no reason to still have thyroid symptoms. She spends her time helping to make it so by helping her patients get their lives back and teaching and advocating for the other millions of sufferers who aren’t her patients.

In this episode, McCall and Michelle go deep into thyroid health and optimization which is often undervalued but is a hugely important factor to thrive in health. Women need to speak up and advocate for themselves and understand what they need to be asking their health care providers as well as what options are available to them.

McCall also shares her unique perspective about functional medicine and humanity.
