Thyroid Quote by Dale Bredesen
““Take a standard thermometer, shake it down, and place it next to your bed before you go to sleep for the night. Before getting out of bed in the morning, place the thermometer in your armpit for 10 minutes. It should read between 97.8 degrees and 98.2 degrees Fahrenheit. If it is lower, you likely have low thyroid function.””
