Molly,IME, it's very unusual for doctors to order all the labs necessary to adequately assess thyroid function. This often leads to overmedication, which can result in estrogen dominance. I am always suspicious of "normal thyroid" unless I've seen the numbers myself or know the client has seen an ND or functional medicine doctor/nutritionist. The herbs she's taken don't make a lot of sense to me either. Why hasn't she used moringa or shatavari?
