Save Your Thyroid with Jennifer Holkem
Save Your Thyroid with Jennifer Holkem
Thyroid nodules impact 70 percent of adults in their lifetime. The standard of care is surgical removal of half or all of the gland. But in recent years, nonsurgical treatment options have become available. Hi, my name is Jennifer Holkem and I advocate for fellow patients suffering with this very common condition. I sit down with patients and physicians and discuss life with thyroid nodules, the journey from diagnosis to treatment, and how to save your thyroid through nonsurgical advances in medicine.

Josemily's Thyroid RFA Story

Josemily's Thyroid RFA Story

This video was originally published on YouTube on 3/15/21.

In this interview, I talk to a patient named Josemily who suffered with difficult symptoms from 2 thyroid nodules. She already had vocal chord paralysis on one side and was concerned that thyroid removal surgery put her remaining vocal chord at too high of risk for damage. She sought help from 4 different doctors before discovering thyroid RFA. Listen to her amazing story of successful treatment!
