Helpful health tips "For those who take thyroid medicine, it is very important to take this medicine on an empty stomach with water. Food and other medicines should not be taken with thyroid medicine as it may alter how it works and the thyroid levels. I recommend taking it at least two hours before or after meals and other medicines." "If you leave your car at home and walk or use a bike for trips of one mile or less, you will put out fewer greenhouse gasses, lose weight and decrease your changes of developing heart disease and diabetes." - Dr. Jon Knoff
