(Note from Mary: I attended the Barnes conference several years ago, and had the opportunity to hear Dr. Mark, Dr. Woodhouse, and Dr. Brownstein speak. They are all excellent speakers and extremely knowledgeable about thyroid disease, the endocrine system, and hormonal interactions. I highly recommend this conference!!)
