Description
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.

Very interesting book. I've been struggling with an undiagnosed hypothyroid for a few years. I don't think my symptoms are as bad as some people are going through, but they still aren't fun. This book offers advice for anyone struggling with a thyroid condition, whether over-active or under-active. Everything from diet, to supplements, to exercise and just general support. I can't wait to try to some of the ideas in this book and see if it helps me.

I was very excited and curious to have an opportunity to read this book when I saw it appear on Netgalley. And I am actually still reading it as it is the type of resource readers with health issues will refer to frequently. "The Thyroid Connection" is providing some helpful answers as well as giving me the feeling that "I am not alone" and "It is not all in my head", as thyroid conditions are very frustrating and uncomfortable to deal with. Thank you so much for the opportunity to read this book. I recommend it for the millions of people who suffer from thyroid disease in all its forms.
