Episode 40: Rethinking Hypothyroidism by Dr. Antonio Bianco — A Critical Book Review

In this special episode of Beyond the Thyroid, Dr. Dana Gibbs takes a deep dive into one of the most important thyroid books published in the last decade: "Rethinking Hypothyroidism: Why Treatment Must Change and What Patients Can Do" by Dr. Antonio Bianco.

Offering both a physician’s perspective and a patient-centered lens, Dr. Gibbs unpacks the history, politics, and scientific debate behind standard thyroid care — and why so many patients still feel unwell despite “normal” labs. She highlights Dr. Bianco’s key insights, explores where she agrees or disagrees, and explains why this book matters for anyone who has ever felt dismissed by conventional endocrinology.

This episode also features listener questions, including how to safely adjust thyroid medication, plus resources for both patients and physicians available on Dr. Gibbs’ website.
