Thyroid Diseases

The Melanin Initiative's Podcast

Welcome everyone to the Melanin Initiative! “In healthcare, there is often too much information and not enough time. Here at The Melanin Initiative, we avoid TMI by breaking things down into language you can understand, we create a safe space to ask your questions, and share our nursing perspective without taking too much of your time."
By the end of the show, we hope you’ll feel comfortable:

1. Explaining the role and location of the thyroid
2. Discussing common thyroid disorders, signs and symptoms
3. Discussing causes and risk factors for thyroid disease
4. Naming the treatment options for various thyroid disorders
