Fwd: Have you blown out your thyroid like Oprah?

[Guest guest]

Psssst...Have you heard the news? There's a new fashion blog, plus the latest fall trends and hair styles at StyleList.com.

 

 

Hi Cyndi,

 

As you may know, recently Oprah revealed that

she has hypothyroidism.

 

" ...going around from doctor to doctor trying

to figure out what was wrong and finally figured

out that I had literally sort of blown out my

thyroid. "

 

Could this have been what was causing her

weight to balloon up?

 

Sluggishness, exhaustion, brain fog and skin

problems are also similar symptoms of a low

functioning thyroid.

 

But Oprah is not alone.

 

In fact, the American Association of Clicnical

Endocrinologists estimates that 10% of Americans

-- more than the number of Americans with

diabetes and cancer combined -- are affected

by thyroid problems.

 

Further, they estimate that over half of those

people with a thyroid problem are not being

diagnosed at all.

 

And for many of those who are diagnosed, the

standard conventional treatment is not effective.

 

Bottom line -- it's a widespread problem that's

underdiagnosed, and for those fortunate to

receive treatment, that treatment is often

ineffective.

 

It can be one of the most challenging conditions

to diagnose and treat, but when a doctor gets

it right, it can have a dramatic affect on one's

health.

 

Moreover, hypothyroidism in particular affects

perimenopausal and menopausal women, but doctors

can sometimes have difficulty identifying the

cause.

 

Even if you have all the symptoms of low thyroid

function your problem can still easily be ignored.

 

Why?

 

Well, historically this wasn't the case as doctors

USED to treated thyroid diseases based on symptoms

and personal exams.

 

Now, however, doctors rely almost completely on

laboratory testing, which prevents them from

diagnosing more subtle cases not detected by the

conventional approach to thinking about thyroid

disease.

 

That explains why you may still feel so BAD even

when your doctor tells you your TSH levels are

fine.

 

Most doctors will shrug off symptoms like dry

skin, thinning hair, sensitivities to cold,

muscle soreness, decreased libido, waking up

tired, constant fatigue, concentration problems,

brain fog and trouble losing weight.

 

However, when there is a constellation of

symptoms such as these the thyroid may play a

role and more detective work is needed.

 

I recently reviewed a powerful new book from

Mark Hyman, M.D. called " The Ultra Thyroid

Solution:

A 7-step Plan to Reverse Hypothyroidism

Permanently " that may help.

 

I've talked about Dr. Hyman before and interviewed

him for our Access to Health Experts series --

he's a 3-time NY times best-selling author whose

been featured on public television and was just

on The Today Show last month -- and he's someone

for whom I have the utmost respect.

 

He's a pioneer in functional medicine, which is

the next generation of medicine that looks to

fix the underlying biological causes of your

health problems rather than just treating the

symptoms as conventional medicine does.

 

If you suffer from any of those the symptoms

listed earlier or have been diagnosed with a

low functioning thyroid, hypothyroidism,

Hashimoto's Disease, etc., then this new 7-step

plan is something you may want to look at now.

I hope you find this to be a very helpful resource

in your quest for optimal health.

 

Wishing you the best,

 

Liz
