Welcome! I'm Elle Russ
#1 Bestselling Author & Thyroid Expert
...And Survivor of Medical Mayhem
I lost seven years of my 30s battling hypothyroidism and reverse T3 issues. Two dozen MDs and hormone “experts” in Los Angeles misdiagnosed me, under-treated me, patronized me...and made everything worse.
Left in the dust by the mainstream medical system, I became my own doctor, cracked the code, got my life back, and started helping others do the same. In 2016, I wrote The Paleo Thyroid Solution—which quickly became a #1 bestseller, translated into multiple languages. I went on to create The Ultimate Thyroid Course, Thyroid Care Rx and more. I have a newly expanded thyroid book out January 2027.
The only one who fixed my thyroid problems, was ME. I became my own doctor and advocate, and fixed two thyroid issues on my own. It has been my life's mission ever since to make sure no one else goes through that nightmare. One of my strengths is translating complexity into clarity so that you can deeply understand your thyroid issues and exactly how to solve them.
I've helped thousands of people in 20+ countries.
Every thyroid issue is fixable and manageable through either natural protocols or thyroid hormone replacement—don't let anyone tell you otherwise.Â

Ken Berry, MD
Author of Lies My Doctor Told Me
“Elle Russ, although not a medical doctor, can school just about any doctor on thyroid issues. You would think, endocrinologists would have the best understanding of thyroid conditions and medications, but quite often they seem to be the least informed. If you suffer from low thyroid symptoms, or suspect you do even though your lab results are “normal” — you need Elle’s help.”
Cynthia Thurlow
Author and Menopause Expert
"Elle is a true thyroid advocate and is helping to empower patients to not accept the conventional perspectives on thyroid labs and health. Her book, The Paleo Thyroid Solution, was one of the first books that I read, as a clinician, that provided my patients with a resource to help create the wellness path they desired. I'm always learning from Elle and appreciate her endless desire to educate, and inspire patients to live their best lives."
Mark Sisson

"Elle has framed her professional life into one dedicated to helping others—both healing the body and also nurturing the spirit. She will help you help yourself, but you are going to have to do the hard work and the deep reflection. She is dedicated to excellence, transformation, and never looking back, feeling sorry for herself, or turning away from a challenge!"

"In the confusing world of health and nutrition, The Paleo Thyroid Solution offers simple and easy protocols that can have a great impact on one's journey to wellness."
Dave Asprey
NYT Bestselling Author & Founder of Bulletproof
"After 20 years of hacking my own biology to gain more energy than I have ever had, and lose 100 pounds along the way, it's become clear that your thyroid is your body’s energy thermostat. Thyroid deficiency is a huge problem holding back tens of millions of people from becoming all they can be. Elle Russ has put the pieces together for you."
Holly Perkins
Author & Fitness/Nutrition Expert
“Elle was truly intrumental when I felt like my world was falling apart and I didn’t even know where to start - I had a number of conversations with Elle that really turned things around for me.”
Ben Greenfield
NYT Bestselling Author
"The most impressive thing about Elle Russ' approach to thyroid conditions is that she speaks from a realm of deep experience and with a voice that truly and obviously reflects her own experiences and her subsequent care and empathy for others who are struggling with thyroid issues. She is someone who has been in the trenches and is able to offer practical, useful and proven tips you can easily implement."
Ashleigh VanHouton
Author Of Cookbooks: It Takes Guts and Carnivore-ish
“I've personally watched Elle transform so many people's lives in such a powerful way. She's often the first person I go to for advice, whether it's about health or life (check out her book, Confident as Fu*k, if you want to learn more about the latter). Elle is exactly the person you want to have on your team as you navigate the world of thyroid health, and honestly, crushing life in general."
Robb Wolf
NYT Bestselling Author
"As a former research biochemist and someone who helps to manage an integrative medical clinic, I feel like I know a fair amount about the thyroid and health. Well, I know enough to recognize someone who leaves my knowledge base in the dust. Elle Russ has put together amazing resources for you. Whether you are a clinician or just a health-conscious consumer, there is so much for you to learn from Elle."
