My endo dosent even look me in the eyes
All the endocrinologist I’ve seen have done less for me than my GP. She refused to do an ultrasound on my thyroid even though I had Graves. Thanks Dr. Shook for requesting it for me!
Same here with my primary doctor. I have no reason to go to an endocrinologist or a gynecologist ever again. My PCP in addition to Dr. Shook’s help, I have all I need.
they have a holier than thou attitude so if you mention anything they get their backs up and cut you off.
My endo did this to me as well. And guess what my thyroid cancer had metastasized to my lymph nodes. Need less to say I am on my 3rd endo and on my way to finding a fourth.
You gave me hope from migraine relief after 2.5 years…. I still try to get people to come see you when they’re having issues, rather it be chiropractic or thyroid issues. You’ve been amazing! Thank you for everything you do!
Aloha Dr Brad, saying hello from Portland, Oregon
Happy Tuesday it’s such a beautiful day @ West-Cost
Hey love your info
I am happy to see on FB live
Thank you Dr. Shook. Your the best!!
Absolutely the truth! Suffering from hashimotos. My doctors speak to me as if I’m stupid. I’ve investigated this disease and joined a support group. Ive been told I shouldn’t be this sick. My sisters, daughter. We need to see you.
Thank you so much for taking your busy time to help us
important information. Thank you for addressing this issue.
Have a wonderful rest of the day too
last time i had my vit d checked it was 26. vit D3 makes me feel pretty sick when i take it. i usually feel sick the next day. and tight muscles and lethargic. so i dont take it. maybe i should take a different type of Vit D? Dr. The Office of Dr. Brad Shook what do u think?
I fired my Endocrinologist!

Gwendolyn Vaughn Daniels
Bless you and keep being an eye opening, caring doctor!
Thank you so much.
What a shame
My Endo told me that reverseT3 and T3 levels didn’t matter when I asked her to test them. Sweetest lady ever but that was the last time I saw her
Yes, is that also why there could be heart flutters too?
Most of the time the problem is the system, not your doctor… https://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/S0025-6196(15)00716-8/abstract
I asked her why I couldn’t take a more natural drug like Nature Throid. Synthroid made me worse. She got up and threw some papers at me. Yes, threw. Then , she tells me to read it. What if I couldn’t read or understand that medical jargon. She belittled me and I stood up and told her I had enough of her trying to tell me that there wasn’t nothing wrong with me. I told her she was fired and I didn’t need someone who thought so little of patients. I found a doctor who confirmed that I had Hashimoto and other things wrong. She said I just had low Vitamin D and not to take pig supplements. I watched the pharmaceutical rep come in with loads of synthroid to give out.
It was my first doctor who thought I had hashimoto because a heart attack almost killed me. I was treated for high cholesterol . He told me you had a heart attack because of your thyroid. He sent me to her. I told him what happened and he told me to just keep coming to him until we could find another doctor.
Wow, Terry. Sorry you had to go through so much. You did the right thing though, you stood up for yourself and you were your own advocate.
Oh my stars I love this guy!! As a nurse I have seen this way to many times!! Preach on dude!!
So true
I always hear that Fishoil can help high cholesterol, Is this true?
I’ve learned more from Dr Shook and my support group on Facebook, than any doctor I’ve seen. It runs in my family and I’ve been made to feel like it’s not from my hashimotos. But I know better
I’ve been made to feel that way from my endo and family doctor
Lynda Holseberg
Wow!
Doc is fired up now!
What’s up joe! hope you are well.
Feeling great, I hope you are too! Thank you for the informative video!
Can you give more details on how cholesterol levels are to do with thyroid problems. I have been told that my cholesterol is raised
Can your thyroid levels increase your cholesterol also?
Hello
This is exactly what happened to me! No kidding! My functionall doctor knew before my MD would listen to me! An adenoma was removed from my parathyroid….still not out if the woods. Thank you for sharing this!
I’ve lost faith in most doctors! Even worse when you have military doctors…
Jessica Koehl listen to this
I tried but it’s too long
You’re right I went to the doctor this last week, I had a thyroidectomy in 2000, and a hysterectomy in 2002. I asked for all of the thyroid tests you suggested, the only one he will run is the TSH & Thyroglobulin levels. He won’t even attempt or listen as to why I wanted the others ran. And I want my hormones checked. NO ONE has EVER done that!!!
Had my labs done…doing better. But now fasting sugars are high and cholesterol is HIGH
Most doctors only listen to patients for about 11 seconds
My clinic wouldn’t even do a reverse t3 for me
All docs want to do is get out the prescription pad
Yikes!
Better
Becky DaSilva the way he explains the medical community reminds me of most of our experiences trying to get the right help. Dr Shook is amazing. We need more Drs like him.
I have high calcium, trouble swallowing and hoarseness. I also have high vitamin B. What kind of doctor should I see?
I have 55 mm parathyroid tumor for over 10 years, but afraid to go for surgery because of vocal cord nerve damage. My Ca is now 12. I wouldn’t mind going to Florida, if I can get help and not be without voice for the rest of my life.
Absolutely terrible!
Thanks for sharing. All too common nowadays stories like this
Omg i heve all that???
I wish you could teach the MD’s what medical school doesn’t, treating the patients root cause of disease!
Not suprised at all
Sooo agree. My endo wont readjust my meds (although at my last visit he told me to come back in a year and if I need any adjusting he would do it) i’ve been having a lot of breast cysts so I had my gynecologist run six different labs for my thyroid and my TSH is 0.03 and i have Hashimoto and that’s when I contacted my endocrinologist and he told me to either have my gynecologist adjust my medication or go back in and see him. Well this doctor was very recommended in Tennessee which was a 2 Hour drive and I am going to end up switching doctors because he did not do anything for me at my last visit. The endocrinologist did the same exact thing that my primary doctor did I just prescribed me my thyroid medication so why pay a higher co-pay to see an endocrinologist when I can pay a cheaper co-pay to see my regular physician
Mine are low. But the side effects of the meds make me not want to take it.
