Description

In this episode, we dive into a bold new frontier in hypothyroidism care—the investigational weekly injectable version of Levothyroxine (known as XP‑8121) currently being studied by Xeris Biopharma. 


For millions of people taking daily thyroid pills, the challenges are real—timing, food interactions, and absorption issues, to start. A once-weekly shot could change all of that. 


In this episode, we cover: 

  • how it works

  • what early trials show (higher convenience, more stable hormone levels), and 

  • what’s still unknown (long-term safety, insurance coverage, real-world use). 


If you live with hypothyroidism or care for someone who does, this episode offers a glimpse into what the future of thyroid care might look like. 

🎧 Tune in and stay ahead of the curve.
