Finding NDT-Friendly Healthcare Practitioners

One challenge you may face is finding a health care provider who is willing to prescribe natural desiccated thyroid (NDT), and manage patients being treated with NDT.

​

Remember that you're not limited to working with just an MD. Your ideal healthcare provider may be a naturopathic physician (an ND) or an osteopathic physician (a DO). Or, you may find that your best partner for hypothyroidism treatment is a nurse practitioner (NP), or a physician assistant (PA). 

 

If you are interested in finding an NDT-friendly health care provider, some good starting places include:

You can also ask for referrals to NDT-friendly providers in your area, from: 
 

  • local natural pharmacies or health food stores

  • trusted healthcare providers, such as nutritionists or acupuncturists

  • friends or coworkers who already work with integrative or thyroid-savvy providers

There are a variety of databases and lists online to help you identify integrative, holistic, and open-minded practitioners. (Keep in mind that you should always verify ahead of time that the provider is open to working with NDT medications.)
