#74 Patient to Patient Advocate Janie Bowthorpe Shares Her Passion on Empowering Those with Thyroid Conditions

Years ago, Janie Bowthorpe became a hypothyroid patient. And like millions, she was put on a T4-only medicine like Synthroid and told it was would change her life. But it didn't. Janie spent the next 20 years getting worse on nothing but T4 with growing problems. And each doctor she saw said "It's not your thyroid" causing you all those problems as they did more and more tests. She was steps away from applying for Social Security Disability. 

But Janie didn't buy that it wasn't her thyroid. On her own, she found out about having T3 in her treatment with natural desiccated thyroid. On her own, she found a doctor to let her get on desiccated thyroid. Then on her own, she found a second doctor to let her raise it. And her life made a complete and total turn around.  

With those experiences under her belt, Janie Bowthorpe started the first and only patient-to-patient  movement called Stop the Thyroid Madness. All Janie's experiences challenged the way the medical system has been testing and treating thyroid disease. Today, Janie is the author of two life-changing, patient-to-patient thyroid books, the editor of a third book contributed by medical professionals, and the owner of the most life-changing website on treating a thyroid problem in the world.
