By Dr. Lisa Maturo, Naturopathic Thyroid Doctor Phoenix

How hormones can affect the aging process

Symptoms of Thyroid Disorder: Six Thyroid Tests You Should Ask For

By Dr. Lisa Maturo, Naturopathic Thyroid Doctor Phoenix

Thyroid health - thyroid disorders

Many people suffer for years with undiagnosed or underdiagnosed thyroid problems. How does this happen? When investigating the possible causes of the often debilitating fatigue that brings a patient to the Doctor’s office, many physicians only perform the routine TSH test.

Is a Hormonal Imbalance Tipping the Scale: How Thyroid Treatment May Help

Weight Loss Phoenix and Tempe Hormones

It's easy to look to the pile of candy bar wrappers on the coffee table as the culprit for a recent weight gain, but that's not always to blame.
