Thyroid Talk with Dr. Angela Mazza, DO

Recorded: December 1, 2023

SHOW NOTES EPISODE 25

Listener Questions!

Host: Dr. Angela Mazza, DO

Co-host: Dawn Sheffield

I’m Dr. Angela Mazza, D.O., a thyroid, endocrine, and metabolism specialist with a private practice in Central Florida. My goal for this podcast is to define and demystify the thyroid gland, and thyroid-related medical conditions. By providing information in an easy-to-understand format, we hope to help patients better understand the ways in which their bodies work, and to help them thrive. My goal is to help us live more fulfilling lives by taking control of our health, to feel our best.

I do this podcast to provide life-saving education and encourage patients to see a doctor in time to prevent or minimize damage. That’s deeply fulfilling. I enjoy helping folks understand how all aspects of their lives are tied to both thyroid and overall health. That’s why I went into endocrinology. It’s a medical art that combines science with the study of our lives—and all that they encompass.

To recap just some of what we covered in this episode, not necessarily in this order:

· The commonality between Hashimoto thyroiditis and Graves disease;

· Review of leaky gut’s relationship to autoimmune thyroid disease;

· Is there a relationship between hypothyroidism and thyroid cancer?

· Genetic risk factor for thyroid cancer;

· What is “subclinical hypothyroidism” and should it be treated?

· How “smart scales” work and what they measure;

· And best of all, we learned that we CAN impact our thyroid health!
