The Women's Guide to Thyroid Health: Comprehensive Solutions for All Your Thyroid Symptoms
This is an excellent book of information about a Thyroid condition. I inherited this condition from My Mother but did not understand my symptoms or what was happening to my body. The only thing the doctor did was put me on Synthroid and check my Blood. No information whatsoever.
This even gives a person information on how to get free testing if you have no insurance, It explains what kind of blood tests you need as well as explaining everything your Thyroid controls. I have realized that the health problems I have been experiencing since my early 30's have been all related to my Low Thyroid condition. Amazing book!! I applaud it and recommend it highly. Thanks!

This is the book I wish was around when I first started having thyroid problems. It thoroughly and simply explains thyroid function, disease processes, and the interaction of hormones. The book touches on the common and obscure symptoms related to thyroid disease, and explains treatment options.

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism four years ago. For the most part I thought it was under control, I had no idea the health problems I was having were related to the thyroid.
I first got this book on a two week loan from our local library. It is so full of wonderful information that I decided I need my own copy.
It explains all your glands and hormones and how they relate to your thyroid.

AFter having been diagnosed by my Gynecologist having Hashimoto Disease I read this book and got so MUCH information from this book. I went to see a Endocrinologist and he didn't know as much as I did after reading this book. Buy this book if you have problems with your thyroid or adrenal glands, you will be glad you did! Packed full of information and what the test results mean.

This is a FANTASTIC book for anyone with any type of Thyroid disorder. It is written beautifully and is both wonderfully informative and understandable. I am so glad I chose this book over the others. It helped me to piece together my symptoms and what was causing them with ways to help deal with and handle my thyroid. Money well spent!

Yes this book is timely but it does not address the solutions we as physicians can not practice in our current health care model. As physicians in practice the system as well as the pateare forced to treat symptoms and that is what created the epidemic in the first place. It is the short sited use of medicating our patients, overuse of antibiotics,ignoring clear signals of serious progressive disease to use palliative treatment for cost saving and expediency that got us here in the first place. It's a numbers game treat the patient quick, don't do extensive lab tests to truly understand the syndrome.


I dropped out of that model years ago and now can stop the insanity. Examine, understand, treat and retest monthly if necessary - until I'm able to slow or reverse the progression of these syndromes. In order to do this I now work for my patient not their insurance companies, yes I see a lot less numbers but I can go to bed at night knowing the patients are responding within months even weeks. The sad part of this is those millions and millions of patients without proper treatment lose cognitive function so they can't complain or picket.
