Dr. Högqvist Tabor overviews what Hashimoto’s disease is, how it can affect the body, and why it is important for patients to be able to accurately track and manage their symptoms.

In this episode, Dr. Högqvist Tabor shares how BOOST Thyroid can empower patients to take thyroid health into their own hands, including keeping records of their lab values, symptoms over time, and staying up-to-date on current thyroid research.

Tune in to hear how Dr. Högqvist Tabor’s app has the potential to change how patients manage their own health and communicate with their doctors, shifting the approach from reactive medicine to preventative medicine.
