Patient-Focused Hypothyroidism Treatment: A Guide for Patients and Practitioners: Time-Honored, Clinically-Based Dosing for an Underactive Thyroid

Beschreibung

Are you one of the millions of women with hypothyroidism? Are you still exhausted, gaining weight, depressed, and foggy-brained - even with treatment? Are you a doctor who treats hypothyroidism? Do you rely on lab tests like the TSH to make the diagnosis and guide your dose adjustments using just levothyroxine? You're not alone. During her decades of medical practice treating women's hormonal challenges, Dr. Donna Hurlock relied on tried-and-true principles of the past to develop and fine-tune the innovative and effective treatment protocols featured in "Patient-Focused Hypothyroidism Treatment." You'll learn about overt and subtle clinical signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism, and why misguided over-reliance on lab-based guidelines leaves patients misdiagnosed and undertreated. You'll also get detailed information on how to safely and successfully dose thyroid hormone replacement to relieve symptoms while avoiding overmedication. Whether you're a thyroid patient or practitioner, "Patient-Focused Hypothyroidism Treatment" is a practical and life-changing roadmap to true wellness!
