Womens Health: Thyroid Disease

An estimated 27 million Americans have thyroid disease, and more than half go undiagnosed. Women are at the greatest risk, developing thyroid problems seven times more often than men. Thyroid disease affects almost every aspect of health, so understanding more about the thyroid, and the symptoms that occur when something goes wrong with this small gland, can help you protect or regain good health. Dr. Komal Patil-Sisodia joins the show to do just that. Women are at the greatest risk, developing thyroid problems seven times more often than men.
