Many people suffering from thyroid disorders are inadequately or incorrectly diagnosed by their doctors, and often receive no help at all. Typical symptoms such as fatigue, weight issues, mood swings, and sleep disturbances are frequently attributed solely to a psychosomatic condition. This is because the common diagnostic procedures for thyroid diseases are often not very informative, and the prescribed medications are frequently not properly dosed or simply ineffective. In this book, Suzy Cohen explains which laboratory tests are truly useful, how to interpret them, and which medications actually work. The author emphasizes that one should not be discouraged by the doctors' confusion and describes how to optimize thyroid function through the right nutrition and achieve a healthy weight.
