About the Author

A groundbreaking guide to the often undiagnosed connection between your thyroid and your hormones. Millions of women in the UK experience PMS, irregular periods, difficulty getting pregnant, low sex drive, postpartum depression, and many other hormonal problems, all the while not realizing that thyroid disease may be the culprit. Here is a holistic guide to overcoming the often undiagnosed connection between hormones and the thyroid. While women can live with a thyroid condition for years without knowing it, the times when hormone levels are at atypical levels (PMS, pregnancy, menopause, etc.) can make symptoms even more pronounced. This book will help women identify and diagnose thyroid problems, and then offer strategies to cope with the effects that thyroid conditions can have on puberty, PMS, pregnancy, perimenopause, menopause, pregnancy and post-partum depression, including ways to avoid the pitfalls of decreased sex-drive. From diet and exercise tips to conventional and alternative therapies to other lifestyle changes that will benefit overall health, and with a risk and symptom checklist and full resource section, Shomon offers a wide range of advice in the most comprehensive thyroid/hormone book on the market.
