336. For All Hypothyroid Patients and Endos: Rethinking Hypothyroidism with Antonio Bianco MD

The Thyroid Fixer - A podcast by Dr. Amie Hornaman

In this informative episode, I am joined by Dr. Antonio Bianco, a distinguished physician-scientist specializing in thyroid research and treatment. With an M.D. and Ph.D. in Human Physiology from São Paulo, Brazil, Dr. Bianco later moved to the United States, where he leads a federally funded laboratory focused on thyroid hormone metabolism and action. Dr. Bianco's career is driven by his fascination with how T3, a critical thyroid hormone, initiates or terminates essential biological functions while maintaining stable plasma levels. His work has far-reaching implications for the treatment of patients with hypothyroidism. During our conversation, Dr. Bianco reflects on a profound shift in understanding hypothyroidism. Once regarded as a simple, resolved disease, the field has awakened to the complexity and nuance of treating hypothyroidism. As he puts it, "we changed gears, we've changed lanes," and this shift is causing both excitement and hope in the medical community. Dr. Bianco's words offer a refreshing perspective for patients. His call for open-mindedness among medical professionals emphasizes that there is still much to learn about treating thyroid conditions. He advises those struggling with traditional levothyroxine treatments to seek out doctors willing to explore alternative approaches and new understandings. Grab this episode to discover more about the latest developments in thyroid research and the promising future that awaits patients and healthcare providers alike. Dr. Bianco's insights inspire a sense of hope and a fresh perspective on what has long been considered a straightforward condition.
