About the Authors

Dr. Alan Christianson has treated tens of thousands of thyroid patients for over 14 years (and counting) as the Medical Director of Integrative Health Care in Scottsdale, Arizona, a health center he founded.

Dr. Christianson regularly trains other physicians in his thyroid techniques. His systematic, balanced approach has made him a “go-to” expert to whom many doctors refer patients with thyroid disorders.

Dr. Christianson has been featured on TV news stations across the country for his views on medicine, and has been spotlighted by national publications ranging from Woman’s World to the Townsend Letter for Doctors & Patients.

Dr. Christianson has trained extensively in both conventional and alternative thyroid practices. Thousands of patients have turned to Dr. Christianson after being misdiagnosed and/or inadequately treated elsewhere, which has taught him firsthand what does and doesn’t work in thyroid care.
