I have purchased several books on thyroid, regarding hyperthyroid, hypothyroid, graves eye disease, hashimotos thyroid and more. Although they all have very good information, NONE of them gave me the information I wanted/needed regarding this consistent weight gain that I am having! My doctor does not see it as a problem. I need to keep purchasing larger clothing, and have lost my confidence in the way I look and feel. It affects who I am. Some articles or websites say, you now have an oppportunity to experience a new look. Well, I liked the old one just fine, thank you.
This book has some very good information about what supplements to take, and which ones are a waste of money. It talks about diet, exercise and explains everything in a friendly way, like someone who is just sitting across the table, sharing a cup of coffee.
It does not talk down to you. It does not act all clinical and doctor view style. It is down to earth and in explainable terms.
I give this book 5 stars. It is fantastic and I have recommended it to people I know who have thyroid problems and issues with the weight gain.
I have not finished reading this book however it is like a bright light of information. I am understanding a lot of problems I have that doctors just ignored! I can't wait to finish the book, it is filled with information and it's great to feel someone understands.
