If you are a doctor, before claiming to be a thyroid expert at an “advanced” level, I highly recommend a browse through this textbook. I would “prescribe” to this man in the video the following chapters:

  • Thyroid hormone synthesis
  • Treatment of hypothyroidism
  • Chronic autoimmune thyroiditis
  • Genetic defects causing hypothyroidism
  • Organ system manifestations of hypothyroidism
  • Effects of drugs on TSH secretion, thyroid hormones absorption, synthesis, metabolism, and action
