0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, welcome to this week's Red Pill Your Healthcast. |
0:05.7 | My name is Dr. Charlie Faganholz, and I'm here with Lauren Johnson, your favorite nurse. |
0:09.9 | And we're going to talk about thyroid this week. |
0:13.6 | And the reason why we're going to talk about thyroid is because all of you know about the thyroid. |
