The thyroid gland is central to the proper functioning of our
bodies, regulating metabolism and organ function. Thyroid disorders
result from an underactive thyroid - hypothroidism, with symptoms
including fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, intolerance to cold,
or an overactive thyroid - hyperthroidism, with symptoms including
irritability, weight loss, sleep disturbances, vision problems and
heat intolerance. Women are 5 to 8 times more likely than men to
suffer from an overactive or underactive thyroid. Half of all
thyroid problems remain undiagnosed, yet thyroid problems are 90%
curable and relatively easy to treat if diagnosed.
This book focuses on women and children; thyroid problems covered
include Graves Disease, Hashimoto's Disease, simple goiter, and de
Quervain's thyroiditis. It contains special chapters for pregnant
women, babies, children, adolescents and women over 50. The book
discusses which vitamins help, the role of iodine, what diets work
for a healthy thyroid, and the role of stress in thyroid problems.
The "Latest Updates" chapter covers the latest medical research in
the field.
Written in a style that is easy to read and understand, including
informative case histories, the book is a necessity for every woman
concerned about her health and the health of her children.
