Thank you so much for listening, so let's get started with this

week's latest program to help you and your family take control of your health.

Welcome, everyone, Dr. Mercola helping you take control of your health, and today we are joined

again by Carol Peterson, who if you've seen our last interview,

you'll recognize that she is indeed a registered pharmacist and one for quite some time.

She's been a pharmacist as long as I've been a physician, I believe, or maybe even longer.

So, and this is going to be a special importance today because we're going to talk about another

hormone.

Last interview, we talked about progesterone, which Carol and I both believe pretty much every adult should be on progesterone.

And that's not because even if you're biologically healthy, it's because we live in a toxic soup of plastics and microplastics and nanoplastics and other pesticides and chemicals, industrial chemicals.

I mean, we're just, it's everywhere.

And the mechanism of these chemicals is that they activate your estrogen receptors so that you essentially become estrogen

dominant and there's a lot of downsides for estrogen dominance like cancer heart disease

dementia so it's a big big thing so now we're going to pivot to thyroid because that's another

pervasive problem and one very similar to many ways to progesterone,

where there's a lot of confusion.

There's a lot of information out there.

And frankly, most people get it wrong.

They just don't understand this.
