There's a link to a youtube video on the site, in which the analogy of a slave ship is used for hormone function. I find that offensive

siskin,

Thanks for posting - it is interesting.

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), the ideal range is between 1 and 2 m IU/ ml

Really? Well, really NOT for me, thank you very much.

The most common treatment we use is Nature-thyroid,

Can they not type "Nature-Throid" as the manufacturer calls it?

4 prescriptions for thyroid medication included and sent to you or the pharmacy

What? They send the prescriptions even if they find you don't need them? Do they give you a refund if that is the case?

Sorry - not impressed.

Adding: The words thyroid, endocrine, hormone and gland don't even appear on his own summary of himself (though diabetes does). But the phrases hotel client, health coach and Laulasmaa Resort spa hotel do.

Thanks siskin, it's interesting to know what's going on 'out there'. Sadly, this guy sounds like just another of those trying to jump on the thyroid/functional medicine 'get me rich' bandwagon. As commented by others above, the content of his resume and website is offputting. I certainly wouldn't put my money and health in his hands.
