| 0:00.0 | Vitamin D, you've probably heard a fair amount of data here. |
| 0:03.2 | In fact, there have been three separate meta-analyses, |
| 0:06.2 | all finding that vitamin D supplementation can improve thyroid autoimmunity |
| 0:11.5 | when supplemented at a dose between 1,000 and 8,000 IU per day. |
| 0:31.3 | Okay. Welcome to Dr. Rousho Radio, providing practical and science-based solutions to feeling your best. |
| 0:38.7 | To stay up to date on the latest topics, as well as all of our prior episodes, make sure to subscribe in your podcast player. |

| 1:21.5 | There's a decent subset of people probably watching this, |
| 1:24.1 | if that meta-analysis is correct, |
| 1:25.6 | maybe one in three who are viewing this |
| 1:27.9 | might be on a hormone that they don't need. Right. And it's just crazy. And this is exactly |
| 1:33.3 | what I was mentioning earlier. Patient comes to the doctor, has a TSA that is five, has symptoms, |
