This is a first for the Let’s Talk Thyroid podcast. The first time I’ve had an ENT (Ear Nose Throat) Surgeon on the show. Dr Dana Gibbs is an ENT and an allergist and is a wealth of knowledge on thyroid and hormone health. Like many of my guests, it was when she couldn’t get answers to her own health challenges that she took her health into her own hands and started digging deeper.
This is a fascinating conversation.
Some of what we cover includes:
- Dr Gibbs thyroid story
- Sinus/thyroid connection
- Thyroid medication – personalised dosing, types of medications and when/how to take meds
- The significance of T3
- Thyroid nodules
- Thyroidectomy and thyroid management after thyroidectomy (full or partial)
- Interconnectedness of thyroid hormones and other hormones
- Supplementing with estrogen
- Thyroid & menopause overlap
- Dr Gibbs 4 rules for thyroid health management.
What is ONE THING you can take away from this episode?
Dr. Dana Gibbs is an educator, Hormone expert, board-certified ENT, and allergist. Dr. Gibbs attended medical school in San Antonio Texas and trained in Otolaryngology at the University of Kansas. She practiced otolaryngology in Arlington TX, USA for 23 years.
Her experience of ill health during her teen years all the way to her late 30’s led to profound changes in the way she practices medicine. After spending those years unrecognized, dismissed, and told “it was all in her head”, she found mentors in the Integrative Medicine world that helped her find the answers and solutions to her problems. These answers now inform her practice and educational efforts.
She recently opened Consultants in Metabolism, a direct care practice for thyroid, metabolic and hormone management for Women and Men. The practice offers live and virtual visits.
Dr.Gibbs also speaks in person and online, presenting workshops that introduce physicians and patients to the unique solutions of an integrative Hormone practice.
