If you suffer from Hashimoto hypothyroidism this book will help change your life. Such knowledgable information that can help patients get the better treatment that they deserve. I've suffered from this condition for five years and this book has sent me on the path for better treatment plans. It empowers the reader with proven studies that encourage one to listen to their own body verses some in the medical community who choose not to truly listen to their patient.

I have been involved in treating patients with thyroid problems for almost 30 years.  I have never found a more comprehensive or well written book for both the patient and doctor in that time.  It is both easily read yet informative enough to inform the patient and the doctor in a combined effort to resolve the sometimes bewildering symptom complex that can result from the variety of thyroid problems.  I highly reccommend Dr. Kharrazian's book to everyone who has any of the thyroid symptoms or who is involved in treating those patients.  I am thankful to all those involved in bringing this book to the public.

Dr. Osansky's book provides a great resource for people diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and Grave's Disease. His personal experience with a natural treatment protocol gives credence to his claims but he reinforces that through his work with patients and list of additional resources. Information on the topic and how to best treat the condition can be confusing and overwhelming. This book is well organized and offers a wealth of knowledge that, in turn, enables the reader the opportunity to make an informed decision on what questions to ask, what kind of health care practitioner to seek treatment from, and ultimately be an educated, active participant in their own journey to health.

I have been dealing with Hashimotos for 6 years.  Although I was diagnosed by a functional doctor, they still missed the boat on many areas in both diet and supplements.  A lot of this book was "review" for me, however there were some really good items that I was not aware of.  I think this book is incredibly important for anyone who is at the beginning stages of healing naturally.  I appreciate the effort that Dr. Myers put into helping other people suffering from autoimmune disorders.  It's refreshing to see an actual MD explain the benefits of natural healing because so many people are so stuck in the paradigm thinking that if it isn't info from an MD then it's "witchcraft!"  It's nice to have something to reference now when I have to explain why I can't eat certain foods.  I'm usually met with blank stares or dismissed.  This book is a must-read.

As a recently diagnosed sufferer of Hashimoto's disease, I fit the title to a tee as medication has normalized my thyroid readings yet I still feel it's adverse effects! Reading the book provided a very broad insight to the widespread causes, effects, and potential remedies of this disease. As such, I am now pursuing a nutritional treatment protocol that bears it's fruits from the author's viewpoints. I am hoping to reap the benefits and return to a somewhat normal lifestyle!

Every page had something that I could identify with and be encouraged by after 15 years of ill health. It's nice to know you are part of a community that is finding healing. This book is incredibly detailed in its advice, information and instruction. I feel like I've completed an education in health. Thank you

I have been really trying to get a handle on my hormones since discovering that I not only have secondary adrenal insufficiency and autoimmune hypothyroidism, but am deficient in all of my sex hormones.  I read Uzzi Reiss's book and then Dr. Lee's, and have learned a LOT of information I never knew.  However, I also discovered that I need to optimize my adrenals and thyroid before I mess with my sex hormones, so I'm going to wait a bit before implementing the advice given here.

I also think that while Dr. Lee is very respected for his vast knowledge, I need to remember that not every woman will respond the same way to treatment.  As he recommends so often in the book, each of us needs to learn about and listen to her body, and this is even more important when balancing hormones.

Being a man, I would not have read this book two weeks ago, but since I have been diagnosed as having an under-active thyroid, I am tickled pink I did read it!  Thanks to a very good and thorough doctor I know why I have all the symptoms I do. Thanks to Ms. Shomon I now know how to interact with my doctor in the future concerning my condition. I sure hope my new found knowledge on this subject doesn't make him uneasy!  I now know what to ask if my current dosage of Synthroid doesn't do for me what it should. Excellent, excellent book that I will refer to often in the future. Am I upset at having this condition being a man? Absolutely not! Being one out of seven or ten makes this special.

My daughter was diagnosed with Hashimoto's - and it wasn't until after being on 3 years of synthroid and Cytomel and pushing the doctor to help me figure out why the thyroid would get some inflamed - that she ordered a Gluten sensitivity test and it came back positive (without my daughter having any symptoms)  Then I read in this book that is the first thing all Hashi's patients should do... so many good details and information about diet and the relationships of the different systems and how they can hurt or help the thyroid.  We just found someone who follows this methodology for my daughter and I'm encouraged that she might get off all meds by the time she's 30... That makes me extremely excited and grateful to Dr. Kharrazian for taking the time to write this book!

This book was a game-changer for me!! Knowing I didn't want to have to rely on any sort of medication for the rest of my life, I have been trying to solve my thyroid issues (hashimotos) and multiple other auto-immune diagnoses with nutrition/supplementation. But I now know that while well-intended, many of my dietary restrictions have been misguided. Thyroid Healing made SO MUCH SENSE to me - and simplified a lot of the information Id been trying to process and make sense of for years! So grateful for Anthonys amazing gift - and that hes chosen to share such powerful, life-changing information theough this book!!

I bought this book in hopes of learning something that could help my dad, who has had hypothyroidism since his thyroid was removed almost 40 years ago. He did well on Synthroid for many years, but in the last decade, this treatment has not been managing his hypothyroid symptoms well at all. This book is full of great information that I think can help him. He comes from a very old school background of "doctor knows best" so just the in depth detail about labs and how to read them will be invaluable (as I intend to get copies of his labs from now on since his doctor has never shown them to him)! My dad doesn't even know what his doctor is testing (TSH and T4 only? Or a more complete panel?) let alone what the values are.

As an overview, the first four chapters explain the functions of the thyroid, lab tests, medications, etc. They are pretty science heavy so I intend to re-read them a few times. The fifth and sixth chapters are all about a paleo/primal approach to thyroid health, the seventh chapter is how to implement those changes in phases and the eighth chapter is full of success stories, including the author's. Actually, most of the book is peppered with her story and it is amazing how brave and confident Elle was in taking her health into her own very capable hands. There is a short conclusion and two appendices. The first appendix is Elle's interview with Dr. Gary E. Foresman, MD (definitely worth reading!) and the second is resources.

Just a side note...There are some typos/editing errors that didn't take away from the content, but seem to be more prevalent in e-books than print versions. If this sort of thing bothers you, just know the content is well worth putting up with a few typos here and there.

I encourage anyone who has thyroid issues (even, or especially, if you're medicated for them) to read this book!

I've never actually suffered from thyroid issues, so I cannot affirm or deny whether Michelle Corey's suggestions would work for me. That's the way it is with medical information. We absorb what we need and save the rest for when we might need it. This book is so well researched, and documented, and approaches its subject from so many different angles, that it really, truly belongs on the bookshelf of anyone who suffers from a thyroid problem. Perhaps there's only one thing missing from this book, a statistical breakdown of what percentage of thyroid dysfunction sufferers have been helped by following the advice contained in this book. As with most medical cures, it's probably not 100%.

Full of revelation and wisdom! A real eye opener for me!

I ordered this book along with Hashimoto's Thyroidsitis Root Cause. Both are jam packed with enlightening and helpful information, as well as personal experiences. They make a valuable addition to my thyroid library, as I continue to research ways to improve my thyroid issues.

I ordered a case of these books and gave them to people that I love. This book isn't just for people who have cancer! It's full of PROACTIVE information not only about what to do if you have cancer but also how we can make healthy changes and choices to prevent from getting sick in the first place. With the statistic of 1 in 3 Americans in the US getting cancer, every single one of us will know someone who hears the dreaded diagnosis. To have exposure to the information in this book is extremely empowering especially when you need to make a decision quickly about  a health crisis. Thank you, Ty!!!!

I first heard Dr. Lee speak on an audible seminar about Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and after years of trying to get my thyroid levels into normal range, I became a patient.  I was so impressed with the Institute For Hormonal Balance and was thrilled to read Dr. Lee's book "Feel Good Look Younger."  It is filled with wonderful, helpful, healthful information that is explained in basic, easy to understand language.  Each chapter deals with certain areas that affect our overall health and thus contribute to our ability to "feel good and look younger."  I have been diagnosed with Hashimoto's and when I found out that Dr. Lee was an endocrinologist who practices functional medicine, I was ecstatic.  Finally someone specializing in endocrinology who can help me get to the root cause of the condition instead of prescribing a pill and sending me on my way.  I believe that taking a look at the whole body and how everything works together really gets to the truth in healing and that is what this book addresses.  For me, the chapters on hypothyroidism and leaky gut were of particular interest as were many others and I loved learning of IV therapy for detoxification and the antioxidant glutathione.  Thank you Dr. Lee for sharing your knowledge with us.  I definitely recommend this very informative book!  Sincerely, Kimberly Kistner Headen  Miami, FL
