Episodes
EFL074 - Taking Levothyroxine Fasting vs. With Breakfast
For our 74th episode, recorded live at ENDO 2026 in Chicago, we review a recent JCEM study that addresses a common clinical question: does levothyroxine need to be taken on an empty stomach?This randomized clinical trial evaluates a dose-adjusted, non-fasting regimen and finds that a 15% increase with breakfast ingestion achieves TSH stability similar to that with standard fasting dosing. The resu
EFL073 - Infrequent Zoledronate in Low Fracture Risk
For our 73rd episode and the start of the seventh season, we review a recent study examining the long-term anti-fracture efficacy of infrequent zoledronate dosing in women with osteopenia. While current clinical approaches typically focus on treating individuals at higher fracture risk, this study explores whether earlier intervention in lower-risk populations may help reduce fracture risk over ti
EFL072 - Pre-Operative Use of Mineralocorticoid-Receptor Antagonists in Primary Aldosteronism
For our 72nd episode and the final episode of the sixth season, we review a recent study examining the perioperative medical management of primary aldosteronism, with a focus on the use of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists before adrenalectomy. Primary aldosteronism is increasingly recognized as a common and clinically important cause of secondary hypertension, yet questions remain about opti
EFL071 – Taste Changes with Semaglutide
For our 71st episode, we review a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial that explores how semaglutide may influence taste perception in women with obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome. While GLP‑1 receptor agonists are widely used for weight loss, the mechanisms underlying changes in food preference remain less well understood. This study takes a multimodal approach to examine whether sem
EFL070 – Dosing Strategies for Remission in Graves Disease
For our 70th episode, we review a paper that tries to improve our understanding of remission in Graves’ disease. Long-term thionamide treatment has long been the preferred approach internationally in Graves’ disease, and only more recently here in the U.S. So, the more we know about dosing and how that might encourage or predict remission, the better. This report is an observational study, as is o
EFL069 - The Gut Microbiome in Type 1 Diabetes and Obesity
For our 69th episode, we review a paper in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism on the gut microbiome of adolescents with type 1 diabetes, which hopes to understand differences between those with a normal body mass index compared to obesity.

EFL068 - Hypocalcemia in CKD after Denosumab
For our 68th episode, we look at a paper in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism that compares the effect on calcium of initial and subsequent doses of denosumab in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Though concerns have arisen over the years about the problems with stopping denosumab therapy, it remains an appealing medication for some of our patients with CKD. So we thou
EFL067 - Bariatric Surgery and Changes in Body Composition and Musculoskeletal Health
For our 67th episode, we look at a study in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism that reports the impact of different types of weight-loss surgery on body composition, muscle strength, and bone density.

EFL066 - Islet Autoantibodies
For our 66th episode, we review a recent Journal of the Endocrine Society (JES) article that looks at the frequency of positive islet antibodies in a population of adults without diabetes. While that may initially seem like an unusual article choice, we found it to be quite helpful in an era where we now have a therapeutic option to delay the onset of clinical type 1 diabetes when we can identify
EFL065 - MACS and Vertebral Fractures
For our 65th episode, we return to The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism to look at a report of two different studies that investigate the relationship between MACS (mild autonomous cortisol secretion) and vertebral fractures. MACS has been of increasing interest to endocrinologists over the past few years, with a greater recognition of its health impact and new guidelines on its
EFL064 - Subclinical Thyroid Disease and Cardiovascular Risk Factors
For our 64th episode, we return to The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism to review a recent paper that attempts to elucidate the connection between subclinical thyroid disease and cardiovascular disease.
