Rethinking Hypothyroidism by Dr. Antonio Bianco — A Critical Book Review | Beyond the Thyroid Ep. 40

In Episode 40 of Beyond the Thyroid, Dr. Dana Gibbs reviews one of the most influential thyroid books of our time: “Rethinking Hypothyroidism” by Dr. Antonio Bianco.

Dr. Gibbs unpacks the book’s biggest revelations — why millions still suffer despite “normal” TSH levels, how medical politics shaped thyroid treatment, and why the current system fails patients with persistent symptoms. She also shares her own clinical perspective as a surgeon-turned-hormone-specialist and answers listener questions about thyroid dosing and treatment optimization.

If you’ve ever wondered why levothyroxine alone doesn’t help everyone — or why your doctor may be missing key diagnostic clues — this episode is a must-listen.
