Did you know thyroid disease in men entails many of the same symptoms as those that affect women with a thyroid disorder. Men, however, may also experience some indications of a thyroid issue that are unique to their sex—some of which you may not immediately associate with the condition such as low sperm count, loss of muscle mass, and erectile dysfunction. Many men don't consider that they could have thyroid disease, even if they have classic symptoms. John Nolte is the GIS Manager for Administrative Services at Denver Water. He has lived in the Denver metro area for the past ten years. He spends most of his free time with his daughter Maya and dog Lola.

Paige Carter considers herself to be a Florida-Tennessee hybrid native. Having spent the same amount of years living in both states, Paige would tell you her personality is sunny like the Sunshine State but ‘bleeds orange,’ like many who are alumni of the University of Tennessee. Following a 7-year journey to break into the Human Resources world, Paige has worked in various Human Resources functions on her way to running a Human Resources department for a community bank in middle Tennessee. Before working in the finance industry, Paige worked in the insurance industry focusing primarily on group health insurance and customer service in that field. Paige’s specific interest in health insurance can be derived from having had multiple open heart surgeries in her less than 3 decades of life. Born with congenital critical pulmonary stenosis, Paige survived not having a properly working pulmonary valve when she was born because of timing and luck. Since that time, Paige has devoted much of her time researching and keeping up to date on the latest health insurance services and regulatory updates, while trying to effectively communicate these changes to clients and employees. Paige is currently halfway through her MBA with the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. She is currently attending the Professional MBA program which allows her to work full time while earning an MBA full time, keeping true to an “always learning” mindset.
