CHEERS: The Doctors Who Dare To Speak Out Against the Status Quo

In contrast to some elitist endocrinologists, there are some unorthodox but popular, effective practitioners who are on the front lines, advocating for patients. So many deserve mention (and some are featured in the Thyroid Top Docs Directory), but there's only space to mention a few here...

Holistic practitioners Drs. Richard and Karilee Shames have worked for decades transforming attidues about thyroid, autoimmune, hormonal and adrenal disease, and are regular contributors here at my site, and most importantly to the patient community they serve. Doctors across America could learn a great deal from this amazing and inspiring couple, who together co-authored two thyroid-related books, ThyroidPower and Fat, Fuzzy and Frazzled? Check out a few other recent contributions at the site:


Imagine if Dr. Phil was a physician who understood thyroid patients intuitively, and made helping people with thyroid and hormone imbalances his personal crusade in life. That'll give you an inkling of the energy and Texan force of personality Dr. Steven Hotze brings to his crusade to reframe America's discussion of thyroid and hormones. Find out why he gets a 2005 Cheer in "Dr. Steven Hotze vs. the Endocrinologists: The Battle Over Hypothyroidism Diagnosis and Armour Thyroid."
