an integrative road map to remission

"Here's the simple truth about Hashimoto's: It's way more than a thyroid problem. And even though it's an autoimmune disease it is also way more than an immune system problem. Over time, it becomes a body-wide disorder. Most people are familiar with the common hypothyroid symptoms of fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, sensitivity to cold, hair loss, and constipation. But what many people don't seem to understand is that many Hashimoto's patients also have anxiety and depression, acid reflux, blood sugar imbalances like hypoglycemia and insulin resistance, intestinal permeability, anemia, food intolerances, and much more. This is not coincidence. It is all caused by repeated patterns of one system of the body breaking down and bringing other systems down with it. This causes vicious cycles that lead to the breakdown of the gut, the brain, the adrenals, the stomach, the gall bladder, the liver and every other major organ in the body. The system revealed in this book provides an easy-to-follow approach for first figuring out what is breaking down and then developing a plan for fixing it. This book is a practical road map for healing Hashimoto's using diet, lifestyle changes, and other natural interventions to transform these vicious cycles into positive healing momentum--thereby allowing the body to return to balance"--, Provided by publisher
