Your Body’s Cry for Help: What Conventional Thyroid Testing Isn’t Telling You

ReInvent Healthcare

What if your client’s labs show everything is “normal,” but their symptoms are screaming otherwise? In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, Dr. Ritamarie sits down with holistic nutritionist and restorative wellness practitioner Divya Gupta to uncover the hidden truths behind thyroid dysfunction.
