So there's this whole idea of the full thyroid panel. You wouldn't believe how many people ask me for a full thyroid panel. There's no such thing as a full thyroid panel. It doesn't exist. It was made up by somebody, probably some sort of wellness space that was like, oh, your endocrinologist is not doing the full thyroid panel. Let me offer you this expensive full thyroid panel because they're not evaluating it thoroughly

enough. And here's what it is. But it's different for every single person that's ordering it

because it doesn't actually exist. It's made up. Welcome to the Nutrition Science Podcast,

where we help you cut through the noise and make informed science-based decisions about nutrition

and your health.

All right, welcome back to the nutrition science podcast.

Today I have a very special guest on the show, Dr. Arthy Thungoodoo, and she is a triple board certified physician, a specialist in endocrinology, diabetes, and thyroid disease.

And in addition to treating patients as a physician,

she's also an entrepreneur. She's the founder of Complete Medicine, a direct care and a chronology

based practice out of Texas. And I want to talk about direct care with Dr. Tang Guru another time because

there's different options in terms of health care, and she's very well versed in all

the various options in health care.

And it's a really interesting topic.

So we'll probably bring you back on to talk about that topic as well.

But she's the founder of Complete Medicine, also the founder of Hey Healthy, which is a company

that provides accessible and supportive diabetes and hormonal care for self-insured businesses.

This is another alternative form of health care outside of like the traditional insurance

model.

So that's, uh, Dr. Thangoodoo is very, very well versed in these things.

And I might have to bring her own to talk about these things as well.

But in addition to all of this, she's also an amazing mom to two beautiful young children

and really like one of the most inspiring humans I've ever met in terms of like really just being a great entrepreneur, great businesswoman, really smart individual.
