She Had to Buy Thyroid Medication on the Black Market…

from The Health Detective Podcast by Functional Diagnostic Nutrition · host Reed Davis

What happens when even the best doctors in Los Angeles can’t help you? In this episode, I sit down with Elle Russ to share her raw, unfiltered thyroid story, from years of debilitating symptoms… to being dismissed and gaslit by top-tier doctors. At her lowest point, Elle took matters into her own hands, sourcing thyroid medication on the black market just to feel human again.   This conversation isn’t just about thyroid health… it’s about advocacy, confidence, and what happens when no one is listening. _________________________________ For health coaches and practitioners Want to investigate root causes like these for your own clients?
