JFC if I didn’t think I was dying, I definitely would after reading this. It had a lot of good information but too much to actually deal with. Any symptom you can think of is likely covered in here which is overwhelming. The amount spent on supplements alone seems extreme, and it’s all way too much work to figure out. I might come back to it sometime after I look up WTF a biological dentist is.

I suppose what one person would call thorough another person would call long winded. I am in group two. I never thought this book would end. I understand that she wanted to cover every possible illness under the sun with a variety of things to try, buy and test, but it was over the top for me.

I have not been officially diagnosed, but I obtained the book because I have had massive hair loss for 11 years now and nothing has helped, it could be from menopause, female pattern baldness or even show more the Depakote I took for years.

One thing that was especially off-putting was not only the huge amount of money one has to be prepared to lay out, whether they can afford it or not in tests, supplements and prescriptions, was that the supplements she recommended most often were her own and an extremely expensive brand called Encapsulations.

I am no stranger to supplements, homeopathic, Ayurvedic, minerals, vitamins, etc but tend to use quality companies like Country life, NOW, Twinlab, which are more affordable.

Maybe this book will help tons of people, to me it was just too much. show less

Hashimotos Thyroiditis: Lifestyles Interventions for Finding and Treating the Root Cause by Izabella Wentz is a book to help people who are suffering from Hashimoto's thyroid disease, an autoimmune disorder that destroys the thyroid gland.

I definitely learned a few more things, but in a nutshell, it always seems to boil down to diet and stress. Supplements and probiotics are also important. Find out what you're sensitive to, like gluten and dairy, etc.

The absolute hardest part to me is the show more diet. Food to many is the last good drug and if you need to heal, you'll have to give a lot of it up, probably most of what you're used to eating and enjoying.

Overall, the book is worth reading and keeping for reference.

I guess I talked myself into having this disease...lol. Turned out to be a pretty good read if you are looking for answers for a healthier life. There are tests you can take to rule out this disease if you suspect you have it. She provides eating protocols and supplements to adhere to if you do find out you have it. I gave this book to a friend cause I don't think I have this disease. I must have something else...lol
