Did you know that thyroid problems are under-diagnosed in women of color, and why you can't lose weight? (1010 hits)
According to Dr. Erikz Schwartz, hormone expert, some of the biggest health concerns she sees among female patients of color are:
Weight issues, prediabetic conditions, high blood pressure, s*xual dysfunction. The thyroid is also under-diagnosed in women of color. If you can't lose weight, it's probably your thyroid that should be tested. These concerns are mostly overlooked or discarded by conventionally trained physicians who have no training or interest in prevention and thus wait until the patient actually comes down with chronic illnesses. Treatment of women in general is still sub par in our country and women of color continue to receive even poorer treatment still.
