After an allergic reaction to antibiotics, my thyroid nodule nearly doubled in size. I was in absolute misery, with a constant feeling of pressure in my throat. Dizzy, lightheaded, exhausted, and choking on every bite of food, I desperately needed a solution. I was told surgery was my only option. I remember the fear, the confusion, and the deep sense that there had to be another way.
After discovering a nonsurgical treatment that preserved my thyroid and changed my life, I founded the Save Your Thyroid Facebook Community to make sure no one else had to feel as alone or uninformed as I once did.
The Save Your Thyroid with Jennifer Holkem podcast is how I connect with patients and share that information with the world. This podcast is more than just interviews and facts — it’s a lifeline for people searching for answers, hope, and support. Each episode is crafted with care to educate, empower, and connect patients with validated alternatives to surgery that many still don’t know exist.
This work is 100% patient-driven. I accept no financial incentives from physicians or medical companies and do not give endorsements. Staying neutral and unbiased allows me to focus solely on what’s best for patients — sharing trustworthy information, asking the right questions, and helping you make informed decisions without a hidden agenda.
But producing this kind of content takes time, research, and resources. As an independent patient advocate, I rely on the generosity of listeners like you to keep this mission going.
If this podcast has helped you — or if you believe in the power of advocating for informed choice and thyroid-preserving care — please consider making a donation. Every contribution helps cover production costs, expand outreach, and keep this vital information available to the people who need it most.
Thank you for supporting this work. Together, we can help more patients save their thyroids — and preserve their quality of life.
