The Thyroid Hormone Breakthrough: Overcoming Sexual and Hormonal Problems at Every Age

asked by aries on November 10, 2006 12:34 PM

If you're one of the millions of American women suffering from PMS, irregular periods, difficulty getting pregnant, low sex drive, postpartum depression, menopausal symptoms, or many other hormonal problems, what you may not realize is that thyroid disease could be the culprit. The Thyroid Hormone Breakthrough is a holistic guide to identifying and overcoming the connection between hormonal problems and the thyroid, which goes undiagnosed in more than 30 million women in the U.S. alone. It will help you identify and diagnose thyroid problems and offer strategies to cope with the effects that thyroid conditions can have on everything from puberty to menopause, including ways to avoid the pitfalls of decreased sex drive.

With information on diet and exercise, conventional and alternative therapies, and lifestyle changes that will benefit overall health, plus a risk and symptom checklist and a detailed resource section, The Thyroid Hormone Breakthrough is the most comprehensive thyroid hormone book on the market.

I have had thyroid disease for over 30 years, diagnosed in childhood, and thought of myself as an old pro. That is, until I began reading the work of Mary Shomon. She has researched thyroid disease and its management THOROUGHLY and is an incredible patient advocate. When my endocrinologist starting using the lower TSH ranges, I had already read about it on Ms. Shomon's website. Now she is addressing the sexual side effects of thyroid dysfunction that the medical establishment has brushed off for years.

THANK YOU Mary for educating and empowering thyroid patients like me with another well-organized, well-written, and patient-empowering book!

The Thyroid Hormone Breakthrough is another great book from Mary Shomon. In a world where information is cheap, this book is gold. A doctor doesn't always provide the fullest information and they may not have time to answer the questions you thought of after you left. This book will answer those questions and more. The book is easy to read, packed with information and is exactly what we all look for when we need help - the thoroughly informed best friend who has been there.

This book provides good basic background on the thyroid and moves quickly on to good information about diagnosing thyroid conditions along with options and an extensive symptoms checklist. There is great information on a wide variety of hormonal issues, fertility and pregnancy problems and menopause as well as tons of resources such as websites, professional oranizations, books and newsletters dealing with all these issues. Everything you want to know from a writer you can trust.

To put it simply, Mary Shomon has taught me more about my thyroid through her books than my own doctor has. Every single one of her books, as well as her free newsletters which are available through her Web site, [...], casts a welcome beacon of light on the many mysteries of the thyroid, whose functions and maladies elude even some of the country's top physicians. Through her books I have learned to live again, and have come to realize that my thyroid disorder is not the life sentence of gloom I was led to believe it was in a pre-Shomon world without answers.
