review 1: Normally, I'm not one to write reviews, but this is the book I've been waiting for! I have been searching and searching and I feel like I just stumbled onto a gold mine. I was just diagnosed with Hashimoto's in May 2014 not knowing anything about this disease and I ordered this book. It is my go-to reference book. I have highlighted, put notations in margins, stuck sticky notes on pages, and copied quotes. Following all of the advice on nutrition and supplements from her book on Hashimoto's has completely transformed my life for the better. I feel clear headed, no longer suffer debilitating aches and pains in muscles and joints, my headaches and jaw-clenching have lifted, my lymph nodes are no longer swollen, my hair is healthy, and I have lost so many pounds that my grown... more-up children tell me I look more and more like myself, when they were young.I started with antibodies at 1854 and a TSH of 78.7. I am now current at 2.6 TSH and antibodies at 504. I owe this to this amazing book. This book has saved my life. I cannot begin to express my gratitude.
review 2: Just started this book and it's proving completely indispensible when it comes to understanding the thyroid and how to care for it, as well as how to determine the root cause(s) of your own autoimmune disorder so you can address those and help put your disease into remission.The author is a Hashimoto's patient herself as well as a pharmacist, so the book is full of science and data. Rather than finding this boring, I find it incredibly helpful, because I now understand exactly how the thyroid works and exactly how to read bloodwork levels and understand medication dosages. (For example, Dr. Wentz includes a handy conversion chart that compares dosages of all the thyroid medications that I think will be extremely helpful on doctor's visits.) There are numerous chapters devoted to determining what is causing your own autoimmune disease to flare, include adrenal fatigue/insufficiency, hormonal imbalance, and digestive/gut issues. I'm weirdly geekily excited to delve further into this and figure out what's going on in my own body. I think it'll take me a while to read this one, simply because it's so full of valuable information. I could see this book being extremely valuable to doctors and clinicians. less
