Kourtney Kardashian said a doctor recommended she consume her partner Travis Barker's leche for her thyroid levels. There is no scientific evidence to support that advice.

The conversation came up in a wellness setting, the kind where hormones, thyroid and routines come up. **Kourtney Kardashian** said a doctor had suggested she consume her partner **Travis Barker's** leche for her thyroid levels. She summed it up with an "I love this doctor." The scene, told with the drummer sitting next to her, turns an unsupported practice into a couple's anecdote.

## What is known about the thyroid and that recommendation

The thyroid regulates metabolism through hormones such as thyroxine. When it fails, standard treatment involves levothyroxine, a drug dosed according to blood tests. There are no clinical trials linking leche consumption to thyroid function. The recommendation attributed to that doctor does not appear in clinical guidelines or peer-reviewed literature.

Leche contains water, proteins, fructose and minerals in small amounts. None of that corrects hypothyroidism or measurably alters TSH. A suggestion from someone with medical training, if that is what peine, does not make it a treatment.

## The wellness business and unfiltered advice

Kourtney Kardashian is a co-founder of **Poosh**, a lifestyle and wellness platform. The episode fits into an ecosystem where personal recommendations travel faster than clinical trials. A testimonial on a podcast is not a study. The authority of whoever tells it does not replace evidence either.

The thyroid is a small gland with a big presence in forums and consultations. Any suggestion that sounds like a shortcut finds an audience. The problem is that untreated hypothyroidism has concrete consequences: fatigue, weight gain, mood changes.

If you have symptoms or doubts about your thyroid levels, the sensible thing is to see a healthcare professional and adjust treatment with blood tests. Celebrity anecdotes are no substitute for a diagnosis.
