As I have written about in the past, you can have many, many causes of the symptoms of hypothyroidism. Just going to your PCP or endocrinologist and getting a prescription for thyroid hormone replacement doesn't handle the cause in over 83% of thyroid disorder sufferers.

Wild Fish Don’t Eat Gluten…and Neither Did We
Posted by Dr. Karl R.O.S. Johnson, DC on Wed, Jul 20, 2011
I could have easily titled this article "Eat, Fish and Be Healthy" but that wouldn't have been as descriptive. Michigan in the heart of summer is an amazing water wonderland. She is surrounded by the great lakes that just beg for exploration and the sharing of her bounty. Recently I hired my friend Captain Dan Cruchon to take my sons and a couple friends and I sport fishing in Lake Huron. Fishing with Captain Dan Cruchon is always a great experience. His knowledge and expertise in the field of sport fishing is amazing. There has never been a time where we have left the boat empty handed. I’ve made it an annual tradition to hire Captain Dan and his Stormy Chinook to capture food for our family. We love salmon, trout, walleye and other great lakes fish. What a great way to add fish to the freezer and best of all it is wild – NOT FARMED.
