Series 2, Episode 36: The Truth About Thyroid Health and GLP-1 Medications, with McCall McPherson

In this episode, I’m joined by McCall McPherson, a physician assistant, thyroid patient, and founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic, for an in-depth conversation on thyroid health, hormones, and metabolic medicine.McCall shares her personal journey navigating thyroid dysfunction and how her own experience within the healthcare system led her to create Modern Thyroid Clinic, a patient-first model focused on proper testing, personalised treatment, and long-term health outcomes.We discuss why thyroid disorders are so often missed or misdiagnosed, particularly in women, and why relying on TSH alone is rarely enough. McCall explains the importance of testing free T3, thyroid antibodies, and the full clinical picture, especially for women in perimenopause and menopause who are often told their symptoms are “just hormones.”The conversation also explores the expanding role of GLP-1 medications, not only for weight loss, but for metabolic health, inflammation reduction, longevity, and disordered eating patterns. McCall shares why micro-dosing GLP-1s can help minimise side effects while improving results, and why individualised protocols matter far more than one-size-fits-all approaches.This episode is essential listening for anyone who has been told their blood work is “normal” while still feeling exhausted, inflamed, or stuck, and for women who want to better understand their thyroid, hormones, and metabolic health.Connect with McCall McPhersonWebsite, https://mccallmcpherson.com/Instagram: @mccallmcpherson
