Something that has been taught and repeated for more than two decades does not simply disappear from medical and public awareness overnight.
Thyroid conditions such as Hashimoto's are affecting an increasing number of people and continue to raise many questions. In particular, the role of iodine and the frequent prescription of L-thyroxine are subjects of ongoing debate. We were invited to appear on the Swiss health television channel QS24 to shed some light on these issues. Alongside host Corina Klein, we explored diagnostic pathways, laboratory values and the potential impact of synthetic iodine intake on thyroid function. The conversation covered both medical correlations and practical experience from therapeutic work. The full interview was broadcast on QS24 and is available to watch on their website.
