Marek Doyle is a nutritional therapist whose own metabolic problems forced him to see to see the disconnect between the scientific literature, the medical model and real-life outcomes.
From his 13 years of experience and reconciling the data from over 2000 patient outcomes and 9000 test results, he utilised a personalised nutrition approach. He aims to identify the root cause of conditions and dysfunction and provide answers that are provided by data, not dogma. From a string of outcomes considered ‘impossible’ turnarounds by some, he now finds himself specialising in complex cases.
In this fascinating episode, we dive into many topics related to the thyroid:
- Symptoms and signs of abnormal thyroid function
- Prevalence of low thyroid function
- Issues with standard tests and which ones to ask for
- How diets relate to thyroid disease
