Tired of feeling tired? Think that an endocrinologist is a solution to your problem? Think again.
While it may seem intuitive that an endocrinologist, someone who has spent extra time studying about the endocrine system, has more specialized knowledge compared to a primary care provider, you’d be wrong.
Endocrinologists do not have the specialized knowledge you think they do and tend to treat every single thyroid patient the same.
Here are 5 reasons you will probably get better success with other doctors (plus which ones to see instead):
Reason 1. They won’t order the right tests.
Reason 2. They all treat the same way.
Reason 3. They don’t have the specialized knowledge you think they do.
Reason 4. They are set in their ways.
Reason 5. You won’t be able to convince them to change.
Instead, here are the doctors that you will probably find better results with:
- Doctors who specialize in functional medicine, anti-aging medicine, integrative medicine, natural medicine, and naturopaths.
