For thyroid, beta, you should go to an endocrinologist. They deal with all hormones. Sometimes, people say a little bit of yoga helps, but first, get proper medicine from the doctor. That is most important.

An endocrinologist is the specialist for thyroid issues. They can provide the necessary medical guidance. Alongside their advice, certain gentle yoga asanas and pranayama, specifically designed for thyroid health, can offer supportive benefits. Always consult your doctor before starting any new practice.

For thyroid, you need an endocrinologist. Be ready for initial blood tests which can be a bit expensive, but they are crucial for diagnosis. Once diagnosed, medication is usually affordable, but consistent testing will be required. Plan for those costs.
