From the author of the New York Times bestseller The Autoimmune
Solution, a comprehensive, accessible overview of thyroid problems that
will help you learn to identify the warning signs and finally take back
your health.
Are you exhausted all the time, plagued by brain fog, and unable to lose
weight? Do you struggle with insomnia, panic attacks, and tremors? But
does your doctor insist that your labs are normal, and that you just
need to eat less and exercise more? As anyone who has been there knows,
nothing is more frustrating, stressful, and emotionally draining than
feeling unwell and being told you're fine by the very person who is
supposed to heal you.
The truth is, your symptoms could be triggered by a thyroid
disorder--the hidden cause behind a wide array of health problems that
can threaten to ruin your life. Thyroid dysfunctions like Hashimoto's
disease, hypothyroidism, and hyperthyroidism affect at least 20 million
Americans and yet conventional medicine frequently misses the diagnosis.
The scariest part? Most doctors won't even order thyroid tests unless
you specifically ask.
Now, in The Thyroid Connection, Dr. Amy Myers teaches you how to take
your health into your own hands. Dr. Myers, originally misdiagnosed
herself, understands the struggles of thyroid dysfunction firsthand.
Fortunately, she also knows how achievable recovery and well-being are,
and just how to get you there. In The Thyroid Connection, you'll
discover:
How to work with your doctor to get the correct diagnosis What blood
tests to ask for, as well as what they mean How to find the right type
and dose of supplemental thyroid hormone for you The role of gut health,
diet, toxins, infections, and stress in thyroid dysfunction A complete
28-day plan to jumpstart your health and reverse your thyroid symptoms
Complete with advice on diet and nutrition, supplements, exercise,
stress relief, and sleep, The Thyroid Connection is the ultimate
roadmap back to your happiest, healthiest self.
