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.

      Thirty million American women experience PMS, low sex drive, and difficulty conceiving. Thyroid disease, which is often undiagnosed, may be the cause. Shomon ("The Thyroid Diet"), herself a thyroid patient, has written a holistic guide to help women learn about the relationship between the thyroid gland and the other glands in the body. She explains the anatomy and physiology of the thyroid gland and its role in regulating the menstrual cycle, fertility, and metabolism; discusses the symptoms related to low or elevated thyroid levels; and encourages women to ask their physicians to check thyroid levels when they have hormonal problems, something doctors often fail to do. Shomon addresses the role of the thyroid during puberty, pregnancy, the postpartum period, and menopause and provides information about both traditional and alternative therapies. She stresses the importance of finding a physician who has experience treating thyroid conditions and notes the role of diet and exercise as part of the therapy. M. Sara Rosenthal's "The Thyroid Sourcebook for Women" covers similar territory. This is a useful addition to public and consumer health library collections."Barbara M. Bibel, Oakland P.L., CA"
