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.

(Episode #81) Shrinking a HUGE goiter: Kathy's experience with TAE
Season 5 Medicine Thyroid Artery Embolization

Kathy shares her experience with thyroid arterial embolization (TAE), a non-surgical procedure that can be used to treat large thyroid nodules, toxic (hormone producing) thyroid nodules, and Graves disease. Kathy now shares her experience with thyroid embolization and the importance of preserving the thyroid gland with the Save Your Thyroid patient advocacy community, emphasizing the need for patients to do their own research and advocate for themselves. This episode is a great resource to give general guidance on when thyroid arterial embolization may be appropriate. However, individual experiences will vary.
