Separating Science from Social Media Host: Dr. Angela Mazza, DO Co-host: Dawn Sheffield   I’m Dr. Angela Mazza, a thyroid, endocrine, and metabolism specialist with an integrative practice in Central Florida.  As our listeners know, my goal for this podcast is to define and demystify the thyroid gland, thyroid-related medical conditions, and the many interconnected systems that influence metabolic health and overall well-being. By providing information in an easy-to-understand format, I hope to help patients better understand the ways in which their bodies work — and ultimately help them thrive.  Here’s some of what we covered in episode 51, not necessarily in this order:   ·        What is methylene blue?  What is its history? ·        What do we get wrong about methylene blue? ·        Social media misconceptions vs. the actual science; ·        Mitochondria and their connection to methylene blue; ·        Symptoms deserve thoughtful investigation and tremendous care; ·        It’s not a miracle; not a cure-all.  And not appropriate for everyone; ·        We need more time, more relevant studies, and more human studies.  ·        And best of all we learned that we CAN impact our thyroid health!
