The Thyroid Connection: Why You Feel Tired, Brain-Fogged, and Overweight -- and How to Get Your Life Back

This book provides great insight to the thyroid and how it affects the body. It also gives you actionable steps for taking your health into your own hands and improving your health.

Just got this book in the mail yesterrday and began reading it. It is very easy to read and lots of information pertaining to thyroid conditions and other immune diseases. This book has short tests you can take to determine if you might have a condition along with what to do for it. I love how it tells you what supplements are best and why this medication for thyroid might not work verses a natural medication. She goes into much detail about what to ask your doctor, what tests you should have, etc. There is a list of resources in the book. She is not trying to push her products either as she says check the ingredients on her products against another product. She realizes the money involved. I've been doctoring for almost 9 months for thyroid, adrenal and hormonal imbalances and have given up gluten and dairy but still have candida overgrowth. This book was helpful and encouraging to me to get back on the plan and not give up. She has a 28-day food plan to follow to help get on the right foot along with supplement suggestions. She encourages to talk with your doctor and has included a doctor's letter. I decided to get on this plan and then see my doctor in 3 weeks. Great read, great suggestions. Love the recipes and food choices in the book too. Thanks for reading this.

Must read for people with thyroid diseasesHere’s what I like in the book:- very good explanation of how thyroid works, detailed description of all the hormones and systems that go hand in hand with endocrine - such as adrenal, etc.- Description of ALL the thyroid treatment approaches!!! Conservative, surgical, RAI, traditional, non traditional, herbal and for sure the Myers way :)- Description of all the blood analyses connected with thyroid diseases: why you need to take this or that test, what is the meaning of each test and interconnection of results- Holistic approach to thyroid diseases treatment- Description of all the vitamins and minerals that play significant role in thyroid processes, explanation on ranges: normal, optimal, etc.- Description of role of food in healing, very detailed explanation how food affects health, what food must be excluded and how to have a healthy diet to cure thyroid diseasesI really recommend all the people with thyroid diseases to read the book, because traditional medicine doesn’t cure such diseases, it helps only to get rid of symptoms (often with rather radical means such as life long hormone supplementing with bad side effects, thyroid destruction with radioactive iodine or surgery), while Myers has holistic approach and demonstrates how the whole organisms works, why thyroid failed to operate properly and what life style changes must be done to create a healthy system to get rid of thyroid and autoimmune diseases.If you read this book, you will save a lot of time and money on doctor visits and treatment.

I purchased this book after finding my hyperthyroid condition was back in full swing (after apparently being in "remission"). Because I'm worried about a bad result on my bone density testing, I've scheduled an appointment with an endocrinologist. But in the meantime, I found this book while doing research online -- and I am very glad I did.Hyperthyroid conditions are much more difficult to treat than hypothyroid. The standard treatments are sinister, to say the least, and the author points it out up front in the book when she shares her own experience with Graves Disease. I would give anything to be able to treat my thyroid disease without invasive procedures and/or medical side effects, and this book gives a lot of HOPE and lots of possibilities. I've been on the diet for about 2 weeks and already feel much better, although I suspect improvements might be due to the L-carntine supplement I've been taking, as suggested, again, in this book, in addition to avoiding gluten, dairy, and nightshades.In any event, after following the author's suggestions for my issue, my heart hasn't been pounding as much, my sleep has improved, and I don't feel as nervous or edgy as I'd been feeling. I'm impressed! My only concern is that I doubt my family physician or my endocrinologist will believe that diet and L-carnitine have helped me feel so much better, and I do need to have my thyroid levels checked to see if the improvement shows there. That will be the telling tale.I would have given this book 5 stars if the Index had been more thorough and useful. I wanted to cross-reference and return to a couple of things I'd read earlier in the book, but couldn't find the topics I was looking for in the Index. That's a shortcoming for a reference book like this. As other reviewers have noted, I also felt that there were a lot of "pitches" for the author's own products, and at times I felt that hurt the credibility of her medical advice. Even so, I've noticed significant improvements after less than 3 weeks of following her program -- and I'm eager to keep going on this less-invasive path.

I love this book
