Toxic multinodular goiter is a type of hyperthyroidism in which a person has a goiter in the presence of multiple thyroid nodules. In today’s Save My Thyroid audit, I’m chatting with Nanette, who has been dealing with toxic multinodular goiter for over 20 years and I’ll be sharing practical advice to help her improve her health.
Nanette’s thyroid journey began at age 16 when she had her first thyroid nodule, which was then surgically removed. Later, at age 30, she found herself in the same scenario, and she had a second surgery. Following that, she’s been on and off of different thyroid medications and was eventually diagnosed with toxic multinodular goiter.
While this isn’t the same as the comprehensive consultations I do with patients, you’ll get a lot of value from the conversation. Nanette and I discuss long-term medication use, her treatment with propylthiouracil (PTU), dietary changes, the importance of stress management, why we need to address underlying causes like insulin resistance and inflammation, my approach to testing and lifestyle modifications, and more.
