656 - Thyroid Storms to Tailpipe Checks

About this episode

Scott and Steve answer health-related questions from their audience, covering topics like thyroid issues, colon cancer screening, and the PSA debate.

This week on Weird Medicine, Scott and Steve dive deep into the mailbag to answer the burning (literally) questions from our YouTube "Fluid Family." We’re breaking down the science behind the suck, including: The Shingles Aftermath: Why post-herpetic neuralgia is the gift that keeps on giving, and how to manage the nerve-shredding pain. Thyroid Turbulence: We de-mystify the TSH test and talk about what happens when your internal thermostat goes into overdrive (Hyperthyroidism). The PSA Debate: Does the Prostate-Specific Antigen test actually help with a diagnosis, or is it just making us all more anxious? The Great Colon Quest: When should you actually start "the probe"? We discuss the updated guidelines for colon cancer screening so you don't miss your window.
